Zanne_Days

Salin just wanted to survive.
Drowning in debt, desperate to pay for his mother’s surgery, he had no way out. The last thing he expected was that one kiss with a stranger would turn his world upside down.

Jun-Ho was cold, dangerous, a mafia heir and scarred by a past that made him reject any kind of touch. He had never felt desire. Never wanted anyone.
Until Salin.

One kiss changed everything. Fear turned into craving. A frozen body stirred. But Jun-Ho didn’t know how to deal with it, so he made an offer Salin couldn’t refuse:

“Pretend to be my fiancé. In return, your debt disappears.”

Salin agreed. Because he had to.
But also... because he wanted to.

Jun-Ho’s gaze promised pleasure. His touch trembled. And Salin wanted more. But Jun-Ho wanted too, and couldn’t act on it. And that slowly tore them both apart.

Salin teased, surrendered, backed off, then tried again.
Jun-Ho burned, torn between fear and longing. Between panic and pleasure.

And when the touch finally happened… it was too much. Intense. Addictive. Overwhelming.

The problem? Neither of them knew how to stop.
What started as a deal turned into obsession, desire, and danger.

The Deal: Between Love and Favors

Salin looked at me with a smile that warmed my heart.

And of course, I took the chance. Even though he said he'd rather work, his face lit up the moment I mentioned I needed to go to Promise to take care of something.

I want to show Salin that he's my everyday choice. But he still seems to be processing whether he wants to live this way. As far as I'm concerned, I want this for the rest of my life.

I took Salin to my office at the Promise Club. He kept asking about every little detail in the room.

— You really read all these books?

— I had plenty of time.

Salin looked like a happy tourist in a new city, taking everything in. He was surprised when I showed him where I kept the weapons.

— Do we have that in our house too?

— Our house? — I raised an eyebrow.

He seemed embarrassed, pouted, then gave me a light punch.

— Do we or not?

Just a difficult decision
