## Plot Overview

### Hanlim Gym (Past)

#### Dowon Group Days

20 years ago, Gwangcheon Lim was the top assassin/cleaner of the Dowon Group before it was incorporated. He helped Dowon Cho in uniting the gangs in the country, taking out all the gangs opposing the Dowon Clan, including but not limited to the Daegil Clan. He had a partner who was also a top assassin called Dagger. They often took on missions together and were known as the top killers. One day because of the sudden downpour of rain, the two had to take cover and found a small shop called 5000 Snacks. However, Yoojin Kim, Gwangcheon's future wife, approached them telling them that the store was closed. Dagger instantly fell in love with her and the two excused themselves and left in the rain. After a mission, Dagger wanted to thank Gwangcheon for saving his life and told him that he'd treat him to a drink, taking him to 5000 snacks as he wanted to meet Yoojin Kim again.

Yoojin Kim recognizes them and notices that Gwangcheon has a milk and a soju glass. He explains that it's because he cannot drink and Yoojin finds it quite cute. The two would continue to go to visit the shop as Dagger wanted to see Yoojin. However, during this time, Yoojin fell for Gwangcheon instead and began teaching him to drink soju. The two ended up dating and when they announced it to Dagger, it came as a shock, but he just pretended to bless them. The reality was that jealously began to arise in Dagger's heart as he felt like he was always behind Gwangcheon whether in relationships or in the Dowon Group. Eventually, when Gwangcheon got married with Yoojin, Dagger's jealously went off the roof and when Hanlim was born, he decided he would take away what Gwangcheon held precious.

As Hanlim grew up, Gwangcheon and Yoojin would take care of her together. One time, Gwangcheon put the milk in a soju bottle to feed Hanlim and got beat up by his wife, Yoojin, as she though he was feeding soju to Hanlim. As the two are arguing, Hanlim speaks her first words, which turn out to be "soju". On her first birthday, her parents celebrated it with her and she had received a rabbit doll that her father's friend Dagger had gifted to Hanlim. However, it turns out that bunny doll had a remote controlled bomb. As she was sleeping with her mother, the bomb blew up. Apparently, as the bomb was blowing up, Hanlim's mother was able to put her in safety and she, herself, survived the explosion. However, Dagger came to finish the job and in an fight between Dagger and **Gwangcheon Lim**, Hanlim's mother is injured and ends up dying, leaving Hanlim into Gwangcheon's hands.
