To say that Wu Yifan and Park Chanyeol was a match made in heaven was a blasphemy. To say that they were a match made in hell was quite fitting.

But the truth was, they were a match made in a dimly lit and tobacco smoke filled parlor.

Both their grandfathers were lords of the underworld. The old Mr. Wu controlled the drug and human trafficking business, while old Mr. Park handled all the weapons and stolen technologies dealings. Their families used to be rivals, often engaged in shootouts and assassinations attempts. But times were changing and the law enforcement agencies were getting better and more efficient than before.

So putting aside their differences, the two powerful families sat down and worked out their differences. It took long years of negotiations, head buttings, ego clashing and few memorable fisticuffs which escalated into gang wars, but finally the two families saw eye to eye. They divided the black markets, capitalizing on their connections and strong points.

Mr. Wu who had ties to the Golden Triangle in Asia and commanded a fleet of cargo ships took control of the drug distributions and human market. Mr. Park was closely connected to the crime syndicate on Europe and Japan, making him the go to guy for anything weapon or technology related.

To further cement their alliance, Mr. Wu and Mr. Park agreed to officially tie the knots between their families. The two old men sealed the deal on the private parlor of a strip club over a game of poker.

“My daughter in law is giving birth in three months.” Mr. Wu said as he threw some chips to the ever growing pile in the center of the table.

“My son is getting married next year.” Mr. Park replied as he signaled the dealer for one more card.

“I want my grandchild to marry yours.” Mr. Wu nonchalantly said as he laid down his cards. Three of a kind, Jacks.

“Sure. I’d love to have you as my in-law.” Mr. Park shrugged and revealed his cards. Four of a kind, Kings.

“You cheated.” Mr. Wu snorted.

“Prove it.” Mr. Park retorted.

And that was how the most fearsome power couple of the underworld started.
