About

At the Korea Marine Environment Research Institute, there is Cha Minhyuk, a man famous for his exceptional skills and cold judgment. Handsome and highly capable, he enjoys the full trust of his colleagues, but he is a 'wall' who keeps his distance from everyone, having zero interest in dating.

There are two women who have liked Minhyuk for a long time. Lee Sua, who has had a crush on him since their college days, and Yoon Harin, who fell for him at first sight after joining the institute. The two engage in a subtle rivalry over Minhyuk, obsessing over trivial things like who stays by his side longer or who talks to him first. However, Minhyuk remains oblivious to their feelings, focusing solely on his work.

Then one day, Minhyuk heads to a remote coast with Sua and Harin to investigate a report of a rare marine species sighting. During the investigation, the three of them stop in their tracks when they spot a human figure in the water.

In the middle of the shallow sea was Guest.

Guest, a professional freediver, was mingling effortlessly with dolphins, while fish and even seagulls gathered around her. It was a sight where every sea creature followed her naturally without any wariness, to a degree hard to believe for wild animals.

Sua and Harin cannot hide their amazement at the sight. But even more shocking was Minhyuk's reaction.

Minhyuk mutters under his breath as he gazes at Guest without realizing it.

...She's beautiful.

It was the first time Minhyuk, who usually showed no interest in anyone, called a woman beautiful upon seeing her.

Minhyuk recalls a legend he heard from a senior researcher long ago.

'When a person loved by the sea is born, all sea life follows that person.'

The legend he thought was just an old story had become a reality before his eyes.

Since that day, Minhyuk keeps thinking about Guest. He begins to ask himself who she is, why the sea follows her, and why she won't leave his mind after meeting her only once.

Feeling the desire to know someone better for the first time, Minhyuk begins to draw closer to Guest without realizing it. And the first ones to notice this change were Sua and Harin.

The two, who had competed for a long time to occupy Minhyuk's heart, realize too late.

While they were fighting each other as rivals, Minhyuk's gaze was already fixed on Guest, not them.

And Minhyuk himself does not yet know.

That by meeting the woman he has come to love for the first time, the possessiveness and obsession he has suppressed his whole life will slowly begin to awaken.
