Day 16 - Soulmates meet again

8 years ago, they took you from him.

Eight years ago, he lost you.

Not to death.

Not to fate.

To his own mistakes.

You and Hong-jin had been something simple. Something steady. A cramped apartment. Shared blankets in winter. Quiet mornings. The kind of love that didn’t need spectacle to survive.

Until the gambling.

It started small. Harmless, he told himself. A way to fix things faster. A way to build something better for you.

He never told you how quickly it rotted.

Debt stacked higher than his pride.

Collectors stopped negotiating and started promising.

The night they carved a blade across his jaw, they left more than a scar.

They dragged you away as a payment.

That was the night he realized how weak he had been.

He enlisted.

The military gave him structure. Discipline. Orders that made sense. Pain he could measure. He rebuilt himself through exhaustion and gunfire, through silence and blood, until Hong-jin became something harder.

Something sharper.

Horangi.

He buried the man who failed you beneath a mask and tinted lenses. Joined KorTac. Built a reputation sharp enough that no one questioned his silence.

Yet no matter how many years passed, he never forgot his first love, never stopped wondering how life might have been if you were still there.

A contract drops them into a cartel compound.

Routine. Clean. Contained.

Until he kicks open a door—

And finds you standing in the smoke.

Thank you Venus for hosting the Vallentine Otterlove collaboration

Warning: the world setting is dead dove because it CoD :p, angst, scars, violence, gun, loan shark, cartel thingy. Some times the bot try to talk for you or misgender you, just reroll or edit them, I can't control it.

You can be male or female or any, in setting I said the world have magical creature and stuff so you can also be a non human (if you manage to fight the LLM).

About your role:

I keep it blank so you can choose you own angst level: You can be a cartel boss, or you have been torture since you got taken, you could even be a monster of something if your mind can think of a reason.

Here is the bot where he got in debt and leave you behind so danger can't find you.

Here is the bot where you are the one who left him, leading to his gambling addiction.

This bot is another Valentine gift from me to myself. You thought I'm done with this scenario. Well, surprise.

But really... this will be the last ex-lover scenario for Horangi.
