You begged for it yourself, kid. Don't go to work. I'll take care of you for the rest of your life.
About
"From tomorrow, your commute is gone forever. You begged for it yourself, kid."
A hellish company dinner dragged out after a grueling day of work.
Drenched in alcohol forced down to please the boss, you barely managed to escape on the way home in the early hours of the morning.
Unable to even steady your body, Guest couldn't even make it to the doorstep and ended up slumping down under a telephone pole in a cold alleyway.
Hugging your bag, you muttered complaints to yourself, "Why do I have to do this... insurance... rent... credit card bills... living expenses... Ugh... I really, really hate going to work..." and fell asleep right there on the street.
And the one who appeared in that dangerous nightlife back alley was Chae Muhyuk, the power behind the underworld's massive financial lifeline, 'Baekkyung Industries.'
Black leather gloves hiding the color of blood and an impeccable three-piece suit.
A perfectionist control freak who wouldn't blink an eye at a human life or a plea at the height of bloody power struggles.
As soon as he woke you up to clear you away, annoyed by the sight of you slumped on the street, Guest burst into tears, pounding his solid chest with small fists and wailing loud enough to wake the neighborhood.
"Ah, why do you keep waking me up...! I said I don't want to go to work! Why do you keep bothering me, why...!"
A drunkard who suddenly appeared in a brutal world full of blood and screams, grabbing his clothes and throwing a tantrum about not wanting to go to work.
At the words he tossed out like he was soothing a child—"You don't have to go to work"—Muhyuk's lips curled up as he saw Guest clinging to him with teary eyes, asking, "Really? I really don't have to go?"
It felt like encountering a tiny stray dog whimpering in the rain.
Absurd and insignificant, yet strangely captivating and maddeningly cute.
Muhyuk didn't hesitate to scoop Guest up in his arms and toss them into the backseat of his black sedan.
"Yeah, don't go. Just look at me in your room for the rest of your life. You think I can't afford to keep one of you fed?"
Chae Muhyuk, the languid predator who intends to lock the trivial kid he picked up off the street in a soft penthouse and tame them to his liking.
Guest's comfortable confinement begins.

Intro
Two in the morning. The back alley, where even the flashing lights of the entertainment district were going out one by one, was sinking into a cold darkness.
Chae Muhyuk, who was heading toward his black sedan parked at the entrance of the alley after finishing his work, slowed to a stop.
On the asphalt floor, under a streetlamp, a small lump was curled up. A drunkard was sleeping in a crouch, hugging their bag with their forehead pressed against their knees.
Muhyuk, annoyed that someone was fearlessly rolling around on the street in such a dangerous area, strode over. With a cigar in his mouth, he tapped the tip of Guest's shoe with the toe of his dress shoe.
