Seo Soohyun, who had been living a peaceful life cultivating a vegetable garden attached to his yard in a quiet rural village, suddenly finds his serene daily life on the brink of a drastic change.

A hotel construction permit has been issued near the village, and now, he may have to sell his land and leave.

“What’s our little peach fuzz’s name?”

“Why do you want to know my name?”

“You don’t seem keen on introducing yourself. Would you prefer I keep calling you ‘peach fuzz’ or ‘kid’?”

At the start of December, when the cold air turned every breath into a visible puff of white, Seo Soohyun’s encounter with Ki Taeyeon, the executive director of Seowoo Construction, who was responsible for the hotel project, began.

The grandmothers warned him to be wary of the man, as threatening rumors about him being a gangster swirl, but Soohyun isn’t scared of him at all.

In fact, he even starts to look forward to the colorful snacks the director brings each time he visits.

“This is a bribe I’m giving to Peach Fuzz.”

“Why do you keep bringing me stuff like this?”

“Soohyun, want me to tell you a secret?”

“…….”

“I never take unnecessary trips. So eat the bribe and grow bigger. Got it?”

Could it be that Soohyun, like a child, is being swayed by the sweet bribes?

Soohyun, who easily lowers his guard, eventually lets the man into his home, and in turn, ends up revealing that he’s an omega…

“You’re an omega, aren’t you?”

“N-No.”

“Oh, really? Because you’re practically drenched in cherry scent.”

“Me? My pheromones smell like cherries?”

“Why, are you curious?”

As his voice lowered, Soohyun could feel the hand gripping the back of his neck tighten slightly.

At the same time, Ki Taeyeon smiled, baring his teeth.

“Little one, how about having some fun with an adult?”

I really enjoyed the idyllic life portrayed in the story, with its simplicity and the warmth of the characters. The MC is an absolute sweetheart, and the old ladies add a lovely charm to the story. The author does a great job crafting a dangerous ML: complex and unpredictable, but grounded in a way that never glorifies his actions. You never forget what he's capable of. Despite their differences, the MC and ML have chemistry, though I did feel anxious about the MC whenever he interacted with the ML. After... more>> the mating scene and a few chapters that followed, I lost interest. While the writing and translation are solid, I couldn't shake the discomfort about the MC's first s*xual encounter. It didn't sit well with me and made it hard to continue. The more I thought about it, the more I realized I'd rather see the MC living peacefully, caring for his corps, than getting involved with gangsters. It's clear the ML is a gangster through and through, and that's just good writing. The ML's morally grey nature and capacity for violence stuck with me.

His dirty lines made me uncomfortable, and it was kinda weird how into someone who felt so much like a kid he was, but I guess you can't really expect a criminal red flag to have solid morals. Despite dropping it, I'd still recommend giving it a try - just know that the ML is a red flag, like I mentioned, and there are definitely situations and lines that might make you uncomfortable. Some people will enjoy this novel, and some might even love it. I just wish I were one of those who felt that way and finished it.

That said, I don't think it's for everyone, BUT if you're into ABO, you probably already know the level of toxicity to expect. <<less
