"I doubt they'll even call. You saw the director's face. He was adamant." Jubin casually adjusted his watch with one hand. "I can see why Do Zion recommended you so strongly. You're a truly talented actor. Let's meet again." More than anything, Zion was pleased that he had been recommended as the opposite lead, yet he couldn't help but feel uneasy. "If they do call, let's think of something other than suppressants." "There's no other way." It wasn't as if he could ask Do Zion to add a chip to his own…-

Though his greeting was a bit awkward and clumsy, his genuine effort to be welcoming came across as friendly and warm. CEO Moon Woo-jin, who had expected English, was momentarily thrown when the man spoke Korean instead. He quickly bowed his head in greeting. "Ah, it's a pleasure to meet you. I mean, hello..." "I can speak Korean." His accent was distinctly American, but perhaps because he was Korean-American, he was perfectly capable of holding a casual conversation. "Actor Cha Jubin. I've really…

"Sit down." "Really, what if you collapse again?!" "Just lie down a little longer!" Jubin fought to keep his balance as he stood, wanting to show them he was fine. "I'll call it a day with training. Thank you so much." He bowed deeply, deliberately keeping his posture formal. Kang Mu-hyeon dismissed his students, then turned his attention back to Jubin. "At least call your manager." "No, my manager doesn't accompany me on personal schedules." "I'm worried about letting you go alone." "I can just…

CEO Moon Woo-jin was one of the few people who knew Cha Jubin's true nature. Aside from his family, Jubin had shared his secret with only two others: his best friend, Yeo Si-ha, and Moon Woo-jin. That made three. Moon Woo-jin replied with a shrug. "You both have chips implanted, don't you?" "We even replaced them recently, and I added an extra one. The problem is me." "Huh...?" Moon Woo-jin stared, completely blindsided. This was a scenario he hadn't even considered. He looked genuinely…

Jubin couldn't even open his mouth, something choking his throat. The heavy sound of breathing over the phone pierced his heart. —I'll say it again. I'll make sure you see, even if it takes years—no, decades—that there is no end to our relationship. Countless past lovers had made promises they couldn't keep. —So, no matter how much of a senior you are, don't you dare decide the fate of our relationship on your own. Those who had passed through his life always acted as if they would give him…

He must be worried. I should call him first... But Jubin's thoughts kept spiraling, unable to settle. "Don't forget to come to the office at 2:00. We have an important scenario to review." What if he's only tolerating me because of work? What if he actually wants to end things but is just putting up with me because he has to? That was the absolute worst-case scenario. "Get some good rest today, and make sure you eat. Got it?" Lost in his own head, Jubin responded a beat too late. "Ah, yes. Thank you,…

Zion tilted his head slightly, as if to say permission wasn't needed. His gaze, so tender it seemed to cherish even Jubin's hesitation, made Jubin's heart race uncontrollably. The consequences of what they were about to do were already an afterthought. Right now, the impulse to act was all that mattered. Zion's hand naturally cradled the back of Jubin's head. Just as their lips were about to touch, the silence outside was shattered. "Yeon!" CEO Moon Woo-jin's voice startled Jubin, who gasped and…

Zion, seemingly shaken, pulled Jubin into a tight embrace. A potent wave of his pheromones surged, filling the space and completely masking the center's damp air and the sterile, bleach-tinged scent of water. Ah, this feels so good... Drowning in his pheromones, Jubin's entire body went limp. Had he been exposed to them this whole time while unconscious? It felt like he'd already absorbed too much. His heart swelled, overflowing with a heat that threatened to spill over. His mind was a haze of…

Zion went in first, and only then did I finally manage to calm down. I was still worried about the others, but I tried to soothe my anxiety by hurrying. Phew... I'd been pretending to be fine, but I'd always had a trauma from nearly drowning during a childhood trip to the beach. I'd only agreed to learn this for the shoot, but my body felt heavy and sluggish, as if weighed down by my own worry. They said this was the deepest pool in the country, and the color of the water below looked completely…

"I only accept heartfelt handwritten letters from my fans, but I still accepted the handkerchief you gave me, Jubin. That's how much of a big deal this was for me." They had never explicitly agreed to it, but they had both been tacitly following an unspoken guideline—and now, it seemed they had both crossed that line. Perhaps Jubin was the one who crossed it first. He had agonized over buying the handkerchief. He'd worried Zion might refuse it. If he does, oh well, I'll just move on, he'd told…
