[Excerpt]

"Park Jungsu. You'll have to be the sacrificial lamb."

"... Sir?"

This on top of that - the word "disband" had already taken all he had out of his head and mind. Jungsu, who had already been overcome with great shock, the words "sacrificial lamb" had thrown him in a shock that seemed impossible to come out of.

"All you have to do is lie. In two months, there will be an article saying that you assaulted me. All you have to say at the press conference is that the article is right. I'll be at the hospital. We were having an argument, and it escalated to assault. Say sorry, something like that, you know how it is. I'll tell you the details later."

Jungsu stood frozen in place, barely able to process any of the company president's words.

"Ah, and there will be another article that will deal with sexual assault on a female SM employee. You just have to say you did it when you were drunk. Then Super Junior will very naturally disband. Who will dare oppose to the disbanding then?"

"... Sir - sir, what - what are you saying?" pleaded Jungsu, stepping backwards without even knowing it.

"What am I saying?"

Jungsu could only marvel at Sooman's words, questioning as if Jungsu were asking him to repeat something very obvious.

One man can be so cruel.

"It's still two months later. So I'm saying don't slack off and do well until then. Isn't that right?"

"Sir! Why are you doing this? Why do I have to do this?" screamed Jungsu.

"Why? I told you. You're a child without a single speck of evil. Start preparing. You're going to turn into the devil. Forget Leeteuk of the past. Turn into a cold-hearted bastard. Then no one will suspect anything."

Jungsu stared silently in shock.

"You're a leader who leads twelve others. This is something you need to do as that leader."

Foreword

This is my second project now that my first is drawing to a close. However, I felt very, very hesitant about starting another huge project like KIBHOY; I'm getting busy, however, I don't want to go on hiatus for any reason. So came this project that will fill the void between the end of KIBHOY and the summer, when I will have time to start another large project.

It's not my own story. In fact, it will be a translation, with permission, of a story written in Korean. The real author has been linked here so that she can watch over my work.

The challenge for me will be writing in 3rd person, which I haven't done in a while, which will hopefully prepare me for the 3rd project I have planned. The other will be to communicate what was so well-communicated in Korean in English, which have very different vocabulary sets. Korean has a lot more descriptive words whereas English is a bit more explanatory. I hope to bridge that language gap.

It will be short, 25 chapters. It is Leeteuk focused with Kangin+Leeteuk romance on the side, however, it will not contain any sexual scenes, nor is the storyline based on their romance. However, be warned that there will be some language.
