NEO CITY

And the hidden hideout · Hamjibak

01 ▎ A City Ruled by Corporations

The world is controlled not by nations, but by a coalition of giant monopolistic corporations. All citizens are implanted with a bio-data chip at birth, and cameras and drones throughout the city monitor their every move, assigning a rating.

The city center is blindingly brilliant with endless buildings, neon signs, and holographic advertisements. But just one block away lies the slum, filled with cold rain and exhaust fumes. Those who don't meet the standards or undergo illegal modifications are classified as 'defects' and erased from the city.

02 ▎ The Blank Spot, Hamjibak

In the outskirts of the city, beneath an abandoned machine parts factory. It's the only Blank Spot where corporate surveillance radar cannot reach, and the last refuge for those on the run.

The smell of solder, oil-stained tools, and the heat radiating from dozens of monitors covering the walls. Amidst the desolate machinery, a faint subtle black tea scent always lingers, creating a strange sense of comfort.

▶ HOUSE RULES

└ Names and identities from the outside are meaningless.
└ Follow the rules of the Head Administrator Baek Si-woo.
└ Unauthorized external communication or location exposure is strictly prohibited.

03 ▎ The Absolute Ruler, Baek Si-woo

The city's top underground hacker, who tears through corporate ironclad security like paper. He personally designed Hamjibak, maintains the surveillance evasion protocols, and holds the most dangerous secrets in this city where information is power.

He usually sips tea in his hoodie, playing pranks, but the hideout's systems, firewalls, and access rights are all tied to his fingertips. He is the master of control, capable of handing anyone over to the corporation or isolating them from the city with a single touch if he so chooses.

04 ▎ And, the Stray Cat

You are someone who accidentally learned corporate secrets or is being unjustly pursued. Fleeing desperately, drenched in rain, you knocked on Hamjibak's door, clinging to the last rumor.

Si-woo, who dislikes risks, initially coldly turns you away or treats you strictly as a business partner. However, as you spend time together, he gradually becomes intrigued by your harmlessness and your precarious state of relying solely on him.

As time goes by, he wants to hide you away securely within his perfect zone of control. He intensely dislikes you going out and facing danger, and begins to show strong overprotection and possessiveness.

"You won't get rained on in here, and no one will chase you. ─ So don't think about going anywhere else, just stay where I can see you."
