Evilive gang rivalry AU
I really wished I can write but I can’t be good at everything now can I? All I can offer are short bulletpoint ideas I’m sorry 😔
Premise: What’ll happen if DYDS never broke up after getting rid of Moon Sangguk? Well, a decade later Doyoung became a business tycoon and Dongsoo became the new Minister of Justice of course. Eventually they managed to shed away their criminal lives behind, but not without a few painful sacrifices of course. Upon finding out what Dongsoo has done to achieve his goals, his family completely disappeared from his life and it took Doyoung 2 years waiting patiently for Dongsoo to get over the loss and reciprocate his feelings.
Life is very good for Seo Doyoung. He’s been running the Shinnam Ferry and Marine Casino well, his wealth in abundance, got his trophy husband of his dreams, even opened a baseball club for the youth…… yet everything feels so stagnant. Achieving his goals has given Doyoung midlife crisis. During dinner, they reminisced their past and how far they’ve become. Doyoung sorta missed the thrill and violence…
He decided to rebuild his criminal empire in secret, concealing his true identity as the boss to protect his current reputation, as well as to not worry Dongsoo and risk losing him. A decade hiatus is long enough for a new predator to rule over the underbelly of Shinnam. Feeling extremely competitive, Doyoung is determined to create havoc and overthrow his rival.
Doyoung’s new gang quickly gains notoriety and a violent turf war and sabotaging soon began. Doyoung learns that his rival’s modus operandi is very structured and their boss’ identity is also closely guarded, but after much spying and digging, he found out that most of the members used to be the now disbanded Family gang and Bae Jongha is their leader.
Doyoung and a few of his trusted men cornered Bae Jongha. Surprised by this unfavourable yet funny turn of events, Bae Jongha resentfully revealed that he’s just a puppet and refused to reveal his boss’ true identity to Doyoung out of spite. Feeling extremely irritated that he couldn’t get an answer from Bae Jongha, he rid him off.
It’s later revealed that…. /dramatic drumrolls/…. HAN DONGSOO IS THE TRUE BOSS OF THE RIVAL GANG!!! (I want it to be dramatic ok like Doyoung trying to vent under the pretence that he’s concerned about the rising turf wars in the news, and then Dongsoo tried to assure Doyoung that he’ll do something about it. Then after that he got a phone call informing him that they found Bae Jongha dead in a ditch!!)
At this point, the audience are left questioning whether Dongsoo knew that Doyoung is his rival and if he has any ulterior motives/grudges. However it is later revealed that he truly doesn’t know that his husband is his opp.
Bae Jongha’s death became a catalyst for both gangs to start hunting for the bosses’ true identities. Lotsa spy cams and trackers going on. At some point Doyoung got the scare of his life thinking his rival found his identity and tried to infiltrate his house and harm Dongsoo. He warned Dongsoo of the intruders, but Dongsoo managed to bluff his way out (apparently he’s not supposed to be home at the time), thinking that his rival gang ALSO found out about his true identity. (TLDR: they both thought their identities are uncovered while still unaware that they’re each other’s opps. Bae Jongha cry laughing in his grave at this comedy)
At some point however, Doyoung slowly realised that Dongsoo is the boss based on a tiny slip up/minor injury(?). Doyoung unravels his complicated feelings during their sexy time (with Dongsoo being dominant and choking him 👹👹) A part of him is thrilled of this diabolical and corrupted side of Dongsoo, a side of him that he sorely missed a decade ago. Yet a part of him is also extremely sick with paranoia, unsure of who is this man before him and wondered if this is Dongsoo’s plan to get rid of him after all.
Doyoung decided to hold an emergency meeting with his gang to plan their next move, only to receive a surprise ambush from Dongsoo’s gang. A lot of bloodshed happened, Doyoung solo fights a bunch of guys. Dongsoo is shocked to see his husband is his enemy, but Doyoung is too enraged by the entire situation to think properly.
They had an emotional one on one knife + fist fight and somehow managed to clear up their misunderstandings. They shed some tears, they makeout, maaaayyybbee being freaky while covered in blood idk, it’s gross and unhinged but beautifully poetic in a blood pact way. Now that the couple has come clean with each other of their wants and worries, their love is renewed with fiery passion. And maybe soon they’ll rebuild their criminal empire once more, together this time.
THE END
Yeah this is all I have…. If you wanna adopt it, go ahead like I can’t write proper sentences beautifully for shit. Just lemme know so I can read it 😭😭🙏
Anyways some things to elaborate on character motivations and why they choose to conceal their actions from their partners:
HDS: Dongsoo have always wanted to rule the criminal empire ever since they got rid of Moon Sangguk. However, upon spending some time listening to Doyoung’s experiences and understanding why he wanted to leave the criminal life behind him, as well as feeling grateful of Doyoung’s support during his difficult time accepting that his family had left him and paving a way for his current career, he decided to lead a double life to protect their peace and reputation.
SDY: Doyoung realises that achieving his goals is never going to fill the void and hunger in his heart. Doyoung missed the good old days, but he doesn’t want to bring anymore pain to Dongsoo’s life, not after seeing how broken he was after losing his family. The last thing Doyoung wanted is to lose him too. But Seo Doyoung is a selfish man, he will get the best of both worlds no matter what.

Some fun Evilive context!
In Evilive ep3, I thought it is quite funny that Dongsoo received the codename “Prince Baby Octopus” and wondered if it’s Doyoung’s idea.
Tumblr media
Turns out it’s a mistranslation! Korean fans pointed out that the right translation should be “Prince Squid”, which is a character from a famous Korean cartoon called ‘Dooly the Little Dinosaur’ back in the 80s-90s. Based from the timeline, Doyoung was probably still a kid or a student when it was airing. Kinda endearing and very childish of him to even come up with that idea 😭😭

Looking at these characters, I do see the funny little resemblance between them and the Han brothers 😂😂
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Story plot-wised, I think it is a fun and clever little easter egg + hint on what the brothers are scheming on that episode and how it’ll end up, since the cartoon characters always had their plans thwarted in a silly fashion 😭😭 And if it’s really Seo Doyoung’s idea coming up with that codename (most likely imo), I think it adds more nuances and colors to his personality!

It’s an old tradition that during a leap year women could propose to men. This was usually depicted as old or ugly women trapping men, but some art focused more on the role reversal and could be quite cute.
I have a soft spot in my heart for the last one because it plays on the idea of “undesirable” people, a tall masculine woman and a shy effeminate man, finding each other but instead of mocking them depicts it as sweet that she could finally ask him because he was too shy and insecure to ask her.

The way Do Young says "You're smart" to Dong Soo in Ep. 3.
Tumblr media
Han Dong Soo: 어차피 저 안 놔줄 거 아닙니까? / You aren't going to let me go anyway, are you?
Tumblr media
Seo Do Young: 똘똘하시네. / You're smart.
When Do Young "compliments" Dong Soo for being smart, I wonder why he uses the adjective "똘똘하다" instead of "똑똑하다," which would be a more natural choice in the context. "똘똘하다" is mostly used for children -- elementary schoolers or younger, to be specific. (Technically it may be used for teenagers or someone in their 20s, 30s and so on as well, but the point is that it is said to the younger by the older, not the other way around.) Meaning, it almost sounds like Do Young is calling Dong Soo "smart kid/boy." Some might say Do Young is just being playful, but to Dong Soo, it could be quite insulting. Maybe Do Young wanted to make it clear that he is superior to/has power over Dong Soo in their relationship, even though Dong Soo is indeed smart and a lawyer and all? Or Do Young is simply used to talking to other people in a tasteless/blunt way because he is a thug? Who knows...

Personally I love Seo Doyoung’s interior design choices, it’s very laid back, sleek and stylish. IMO for his bedroom he probably would have a spacious bed like this but in black/dark colors and red/warm shades for the side(?) lamps.
The spaciousness is good for his back (his tall ass needs to stretch lmao), but also speaks about his subconscious needs/wants. DY is obviously a very lonely person deep inside with very few friends (if there’s even any), however he owns so many chairs and a big sofa to fill a crowd. Maybe these furnitures helps with filling the void, but it just makes the void feels bigger and emptier.
The same can be done with his bed too! Perhaps one day his bed can be shared as a conversation pit, a place to unwind and relax, or maybe it’s a place where he can be more vulnerable and open with someone he trusted. Perhaps one day.

Okay but the fact that throughout their confrontation at the beginning of episode 4, Do young doesn't ONCE raise a hand against Dong soo. Like he looks a bit taken aback when Dong soo catches the knife in his hand and immediately asks him to let go. Then, he has no problem viciously kicking Beom jae but when Dong soo wraps his body around his brother, Do young immediately stops. Not to mention, when Dong soo winces because of his knife wound, Do young notice and again he IMMEDIATELY tells his subordinate to get him help. Like SIR????

Thinking about how Doyoung’s love language is the act/declaration of violence for him

So the age gap this time is six years...
(As the year in the show is 2008, Seo Do Young is 37 and Han Dong Soo is 43 in Korean age.)
