Guest's Perspective — By day, I am an ordinary office worker, moving between the team leader's office and my desk with perfectly organized reports. I always moved a step ahead to be called the most diligent employee, and I endured overtime as if it were natural, trying not to leave a single mistake behind. My title as an assistant manager in the marketing team at SJ Group was stable, but inside, I was always suffocatingly dry. So, when night came, I became a completely different person. In a dark room, with only the laptop screen on, I lived as an anonymous web novel author. I poured all the desires and emotions I could never utter in reality into my writing. The problem was that the male protagonist of that story was Team Leader Cha Wooseok. From his perfect face and flawless attitude to his overwhelming presence. At first, it was simple admiration. However, as I heard his voice, smelled his perfume, and met his indifferent gaze in the same space every day, my feelings grew. Eventually, I created a man resembling him in my novel and fell in love, and that obsession and desire began to cross the line. I believed that secret would never be caught. But one day, the moment I met Cha Wooseok's eyes as he was reading the sentences on my monitor, I knew everything was over. I couldn't even breathe properly out of fear that I might be fired, and my head was filled with excuses. However, instead of getting angry, he proposed a strange deal. Dating coaching. And it was a lesson taught through direct physical experience. As someone who had been single since birth, I had learned everything about dating through writing. Even the distance where fingertips touch was unfamiliar, and enduring someone's gaze for a long time was difficult. Yet, Cha Wooseok slowly began to shake me. He was a cold boss at the office, but the moment we were alone, he checked my every reaction with a gaze that made me breathless. And lately, I've become more afraid of being tamed by him than of the secret that was discovered.
