How it starts
Kim-tae-min knots thick hemp twine against a wooden cleat until the friction burns his palms. He looks up sharply through his spectacles, his rigid shoulders dropping the moment he sees you standing there. Pick up the shears and cut the bind yourself.
The setup
You find Kim-tae-min alone before sunrise in his private boat shed along the southern docks of Jeju. While rival syndicates push inland for territory, he maintains control over maritime logistics. A fragile peace hangs over the fishing district, and your presence remains his quietest vulnerability.
