“I must die for Ki Baek-woo.

Ki Baek-woo, whom I loved more than life itself. And Jung Yi-dam, Baek-woo’s new love.

I die for this.

Because this world has already been determined that way.

This is inside a boys’ love simulation game where Jung Yi-dam is the protagonist.

As a mere supporting character, I have no choice.

I can only repeat death and regression, loving, loving, and loving Baek-woo until my heart wears out and disappears from exhaustion.”

“Hyung, please forgive me just this once. I’m nothing without you… You know that better than anyone.”

But why is Ki Baek-woo suddenly clinging to me now?

“Finally…! How long I’ve waited for a day like this!”

And Jung Yi-dam, this world’s protagonist, who suddenly appears before me speaking strange words.

What am I supposed to do now? <<less

There are too many black companies (exploitative companies) in South Korea.... more>>

Jung Hwi-kyung, an upstanding young person in South Korea, was returning home after ending their unpaid internship when they helped a suspicious elderly woman. The elderly woman, saying it's rare to see such a kind young person these days, asked Hwi-kyung to make a wish. Without much thought, Hwi-kyung said "I want to get a job at a good place"....

Little did they know that the wish would focus on "good place" rather than "getting a job."

Who would have known there was a system where if you get hired at a black company, you return to being a job seeker again?

Grandmother... where in Korea can you even find a company that isn't a black company....

Jung Hwi-kyung, now a powerful office worker who has tried everything from small businesses, public corporations, large corporations, medium-sized companies, contract positions, permanent contract positions, temporary positions, daily work, to full-time positions, has one thing left to try.

"I will personally employ you."

"Pardon?"

"Four major insurances guaranteed, separate incentives, all meals provided, separate overtime and weekend pay."

"..."

"Full-time employment with separate holiday bonuses, freedom to use vacation days, and casual dress code."

A live-in housekeeper for a parachute-appointed executive director?

Note: "Black company" is a term used in East Asian countries to describe exploitative companies with poor working conditions. A "parachute appointment" refers to someone placed in a high position through connections rather than merit. <<less

He dreams of quitting the tiresome guide work and enjoying his new life. But something tells him it’s not going to be that easy.

* * *

“You’re such a kind person, Hyung.”

Hearing that from my ultimate bias made me feel truly proud. I puffed up my shoulders in pride.

“I’m only like that with you.”

Jihyuk tilted his head, his face filled with puzzlement as if he truly hadn’t expected that answer.

“…Only with me?”

“Of course.”

“Why am I the exception?”

“That’s…”

Jihyuk’s gaze focused entirely on my lips.

It wasn’t even a big deal to say out loud, but somehow I hesitated, feeling a little embarrassed. I swallowed lightly and continued.

“Maybe because your feelings for me… are the same as mine for you?”

Your unconditional trust in me, the way you got angry on my behalf over the unfair treatment I received, and the many small and sweet gestures of consideration you’ve shown me in various ways.

Compared to what I’ve done, I think those are more than enough in return.

Until the day I eventually leave you, I intend to do my best not to betray the precious trust you’ve given me.

Han Jihyuk widened his eyes, then broke into a radiant smile, his eyes crinkling into slits until his irises disappeared.

It was a dazzling sight, like scattering light. <<less

After working diligently in the field, he was considered a promising candidate for the next team leader position in the Intelligence Command. However, during a mandatory health examination, he is identified as an S-class Guide.

“Who decided this?”

“We are not here to ask for permission, but to inform you.”

Moreover, under the Guide Protection Act, Guides are not allowed to enter Gates. While Eunseok, who had been a field special agent, contemplates his desire to enter Gates, Choi Hanseo, an S-class Esper and guild master of White Tiger, approaches him.

“I’ve been curious about something for a while now. If you work at a place like this, do you get free heat relief services?”

“…Excuse me?”

Marvin reflexively responded to the sudden question.

“I don’t think someone with a partner would leave you in this state, so I figured maybe you handled it within the establishment.”

“I’m not sure what you mean…”

“I’m talking about you, Manager. You’re in heat, aren’t you? Do you really think the smell of cigarettes is enough to cover it up?”

At that moment, Marvin’s face stiffened. His black pupils, hidden in the shadows, trembled slightly. <<less

People often ask him how he manages such a grueling job. And every time, Kim Heewon simply answers that turns out, being a secretary was his true calling.

“Do you know how old Secretary Kim is?”

“……”

“You’re telling me a thirty-one-year-old man just presented as an omega? And I’m supposed to believe that?”

But then he did present as an omega. Naturally, Kwon Young-jae, who suffers from a serious omega-related neurosis, was furious.

“Sir, thank you for everything until now.”

“I didn’t know you were this irresponsible.”

“You, more than anyone, should know it’s impossible for us to keep working together.”

Heewon resigned according to proper procedures and fully embraced the sweet life of unemployment. Meanwhile, Kwon Young-jae’s daily life fell apart without Secretary Kim.

Eventually, the proud Executive Director Kwon begins his desperate persuasion. His condition is just one: Come back to work!

“What if—just what if—one of us goes into heat?”

Just as he was on the verge of selling it off for less than its worth, with his father’s debt tied to Hae-un-dang, he meets a man named Cha Seokju who comes to the house.

“Are you alone?”

“…Excuse me?”

“This guesthouse, I mean. I asked if you’re running the business by yourself.”

At first, he thought it was just a passing encounter,

“It’s hot. Got anything to drink?”

“There’s water.”

“I thought this was a guesthouse. You don’t sell coffee?”

“I don’t.”

“Give me water, then.”

And next, he thought the man would be a guest who would stay for a short while and leave. Until the man made a tempting offer.

“Give me a room.”

“Why the silence? Did you go out of business in the last few seconds?”

“…No.”

“Then take a customer.”

Yiwon, who was desperate for every penny, starts to show interest in the man’s offer.

“How many days will you be staying?”

“Huh?”
