One day, Chiyoung, who was living as a kitchen worker in the Iak unit, met someone who would change her life forever.... more>>

“peekaboo. Who are you.”

The other person noticed Chiyoung. Chiyoung took her breath away at the clear and simple voice, as if there was nothing to be afraid of in the world.
Would Taesan be like that? She felt as if she had met a giant.

* * *

What Baekhan discovered was Chiyoung’s gender displayed next to Chiyoung’s name written in the upper right corner of the matching rate checklist.

M. Male.

The moment he discovered those letters, Baekhan ran out of the place and started throwing up.
With a face covered in filth. As if this was the first time such an insult had been experienced.

That day, Chiyoung was thrown into hell again. <<less

One day, Sharhan took on a bodyguard request, reluctantly. The generous contract fee and overly complex magic contract were suspicious enough.... more>>

But the peron he’s supposed to protect is….that damn Lestel!?

“Les…tel?”

“Hi, honey.”

Lestel smiled, his eyes curving sweetly.

Sharhan’s eyes, wide with shock, twisted in fury.

“…I told you not to call me that, you crazy bastard!”

Sharhan tries to cancel the contract, but thanks magic, he’s now stuck guarding Lestel. Indefinitely!

The empire has fallen into ruin from the spread of Paphun tea originating in Luhas, and Sharhan must now evade the walking corpses to save his only sibling.

“I’m leaving at dawn tomorrow for Serman. What about you?”

“Honey, you weren’t thinking of going without me, were you? Your life is in my hands, you know.”

In the end, the two of them travel back to their hometown together, and along the way, Lestel relentlessly tries to seduce Sharhan…

“Dream on, you lunatic. I’m never sleeping with you.”

Gong: Lestel Ailun (23)

“You really should’ve read the contract carefully, honey.”

A handsome man with long silver hair and green eyes, heir to the powerful and wealthy House Ailun. He has been Sharhan’s sworn enemy and destined rival since birth, and is now the head of Black Pearl, as well as Sharhan’s current employer.

Soo: Sharhan Kaios (23)

“Guess I really am just a damn mutt on a leash.”

A striking beauty with black hair and violet eyes, and a mercenary of noble descent.

He’s always considered Lestel a lifelong rival and enemy, but now he’s stuck guarding the very man he despises thanks to a contract. <<less

Endless gambling debts of the older brother, a sick grandfather. Amin, who has lived steadfastly even in suffocating circumstances, is dragged into the organization 'Unsan' instead of his brother who ran away with debts.... more>>

"Baby, want to lick my shoes?"

Having heard rumors that the boss is a cruel, cold-blooded person, Amin can't even look him in the eye properly. However, contrary to Amin's expectation that he would be killed or sold off immediately, the boss is seemingly indifferent yet rough and affectionate towards Amin.

"You're just a kid, so you must like candy."

"Who dared to make my puppy kneel?"

"Do you like this old man? You little mutt."

Despite being a scary man who could drag him and his family down to hell at any time, the warmth he offers, as hot as if it could burn the body, is enough to strongly shake Amin, who has never had anyone to rely on in this world.

"...Boss, you're really a kind person."

"Kind to a gangster? You're such a silly baby."

Amin's heart helplessly turns towards him.

Is it okay to feel this way about a dangerous man?

He's just like a cherished possession of the man.

Is it okay for a possession to desire this?

His affection, as sweet as a piece of candy. <<less
