WHEN FATE WAITED
Prologue
There is a saying among the old bloodlines: Fate never arrives late. It only arrives when the world is finally ready to bear its weight.
For years, the heir to the Kim Syndicate lived without a mate, becoming a name whispered with fear across the underworld.
For years, the heir of Kim Corporation remained overseas, building an empire that rivaled those of men twice his age.
The other ruled the light.
The old bloodlines believed that Fate never made mistakes.
Kim Vincent spent years proving them wrong.
Kim Taehyung spent years unknowingly proving them right.
Neither knew that destiny had been waiting—not forgotten.
And when it finally awakened, it would demand far more than love.

Episode 1
"Some people inherit power.
Others become it."
The outskirts of Seoul were unusually quiet that night. Rain drummed steadily against the rusted roof of an abandoned warehouse hidden deep within the industrial district. The only sounds inside were muffled breaths, the occasional scrape of shoes against concrete, and the soft hum of fluorescent lights hanging overhead.
Ten men stood in the center of the warehouse with their heads lowered. Their expensive suits were stained with rainwater and fear alike. None of them dared to move. None of them dared to speak.
Outside, the roar of several engines echoed through the empty streets. A convoy of black SUVs came to a smooth stop in front of the warehouse. The doors opened one after another.
Men dressed in black suits stepped out first, silently forming two lines. Only after they had secured the surroundings did another door open.
A tall man stepped out.
His movements were unhurried, almost lazy, yet every person present instinctively straightened.
Kim Vincent (TBA)
Kim Vincent had arrived.
At twenty-nine, he was already a name that carried more weight than most governments. Newspapers whispered about him without ever printing his photograph. Rival syndicates feared him enough to abandon cities rather than challenge him directly. The police had files full of accusations but not a single piece of evidence capable of reaching him.
He adjusted the cuff of his black suit before stepping into the warehouse.
His expression remained unreadable.
He looked at the men kneeling before him as though they were merely another item on today's schedule.
Not So important
One of them finally broke the silence.
"Boss... please. Give us one more chance."
Kim Vincent (TBA)
Vincent stopped a few feet away from him. His gaze was calm. Too calm.
"When did loyalty become negotiable?"
Not So important
The man lowered his head further, trembling.
"I... I made a mistake."
Silence stretched through the warehouse. Vincent looked at his right-hand man only once. A small nod. Nothing more. No further orders were needed. His men understood.
Vincent turned around before anyone behind him made another sound. Whatever happened next wasn't something he needed to witness. His decisions had already been made.
Not so important
As he reached the warehouse entrance, one of his subordinates caught up with him.
"Boss... what about the others?"
Kim Vincent (TBA)
Vincent slipped on a pair of black leather gloves without looking back.
"If they're innocent..."
He paused for only a second.
"...leave them."
Not so important
The subordinate bowed immediately.
"Yes, Boss."
Vincent stepped back into the rain.
For him, mercy was never loud.
Neither was judgment.

Episode 2
"Some destinies don't arrive late. They simply wait."
Lazy Author
Welcome Back fellas 😁
Thousands of kilometers away, morning sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Kim Corporation's headquarters in London.
The boardroom overlooked the city skyline, its glass walls reflecting rows of executives seated around an impossibly long conference table.
Kim Taehyung (Enigma)
At the head of the room sat Kim Taehyung.
At only twenty-four years old, he had become the youngest CEO in the company's history. Yet no one in the room questioned his authority.
Not because he demanded respect. Because he naturally possessed it.
An executive finished presenting the quarterly report before nervously placing the remote on the table.
Silence followed.
Kim Taehyung (Enigma)
Taehyung slowly closed the file in front of him.
"You're hiding losses."
Not So important
The executive's face paled.
"I... excuse me, sir?"
Kim Taehyung (Enigma)
Taehyung calmly opened another page.
"The numbers don't match your regional projections."
Kim Taehyung (Enigma)
His voice remained Calm. Unhurried.
"There are three accounting inconsistencies."
Kim Taehyung (Enigma)
He slid the report across the table.
"Correct them before Monday."
No one argued. No one defended themselves.
They simply nodded.
"Yes, sir."
The meeting ended moments later.
