“Um… Mister… why did you suddenly kiss me?”

Jihoon looked up, his expression a mix of confusion and disbelief.

Ryul raised a brow. “What? You didn’t like it?”

Jihoon opened his mouth to answer but found himself at a loss for words.

After losing his parents in a tragic fire, Jihoon was left to care for his younger brother while juggling university and part-time jobs. When he moved into a new apartment, hoping for a fresh start, he met his reclusive neighbor, Ryul. He was a mysterious man who avoided interaction and had scars covering half of his face, making him appear even more intimidating.

They never quite got along, yet whenever Jihoon found himself in trouble, Ryul was always there to help. Just when Jihoon started to wonder if there was more to him than his rough exterior, Ryul’s persistent ex-lover returned, unwilling to let go. To put an end to the harassment, Jihoon impulsively claimed that he and Ryul were dating.

What began as a simple lie soon entangled them in a relationship neither had expected, one that might change their lives forever.

The phone on the corner desk kept going off like an obnoxious alarm clock, the shrill chime breaking the peace of the room.

Jihoon stirred beneath the blanket, scrunching his eyes shut and trying to resist the pull of wakefulness… until the noise left him with no choice.

A long breath escaped him as he pried one eye open, then the other, blinking blearily at the darkened room. It was washed in the faintest gray light that bled in from behind the curtains.

And the only other source of light was the bedside lamp which flashed a warm pool of light that barely reached the corners of the room.

Outside, it didn't even seem like the sun had properly risen yet.
