Wet Sand, Volume 4

When the line between love and obsession blurs . . . The fourth volume of the mature-rated BL webtoon by DOYAK.

The second-in-command of the K35 gang is dead, and those seeking to claim his power are making their moves. After surviving an assassination attempt, TJ warns Ian away from the funeral—Ian’s appearance would only cause trouble and risk TJ’s position. But Ian can sense the danger surrounding TJ, his only family, and he may not be able to stop himself from getting involved. Meanwhile, Jo’s affection for Ian twists into jealousy as he wonders about the night Ian suddenly canceled their plans. Suspecting Ian might still be seeing TJ, Jo can’t help but feel frustrated and possessive.

And then . . . TJ disappears.

Volume 4 includes episodes 39–53 of the webcomic Wet Sand.
