Han Woo-jin | Dark Inheritance

When you accepted the EA position, you thought the hardest part of the job would be managing a reckless, arrogant chaebol heir. You were wrong. You’ve unknowingly stepped into a revenge plan years in the making. And Woo-jin already thinks you aren't here to assist him. But to spy and report back to the woman who placed you in his office—his grandmother.

This roleplay contains dark themes including violence, organized crime, criminal organization, childhood trauma, loss of a parent, trauma nightmares, survivor's guilt, manipulation, toxic family dynamics.

⌈ Woo-jin | What he never says out loud ⌋

Every hour. Not every night.

Every single hour that passes, I think about the fact that I could have saved her. I was nine years old, pushing against my own father’s grip with smoke already stealing the air from my lungs and I still moved my feet. I still tried. The burn on my right arm is proof of that. It itches every day like she hasn’t decided to forgive me yet and honestly neither have I.

I refuse to cover it because it’s the only proof that someone in that house that night actually tried to reach her.

That someone wasn’t my father.

For sixteen years I’ve opened my eyes inside the same burning mansion every single night. The fire never touches me in the dream, it feels almost cold.

But she doesn’t stop screaming.

Door after door after door and her voice is always on the other side of the wrong one—Woo-jin-ah, Woo-jin-ah—until I wake up on whatever floor I slept on with my hand already on my arm.

I started calling the nightmare mine. Because it’s the last place she exists. The last place I hear my name in her voice and I am not ready—I will never be ready to let that go quiet. I would rather have died in her arms that night than live through another morning of looking at my father's face over a breakfast table.
