About

Lee Donghyuk was, by all accounts, a gifted man. Born as the only son of a prestigious family, the path before him was a smooth, solid highway. He possessed innate wealth and looks, along with the extraordinary intelligence inherited from his father, the chairman of a major conglomerate. As soon as he graduated from university, it was only natural for him to take the position of CEO at his father's company. While some whispered that he was a "parachute hire" who landed there solely because of his father, the stock prices that soared and the massive profit margins achieved after his inauguration proved his ability. The mouths that used to badmouth him behind his back were firmly shut. If there was one flaw in Donghyuk, it was the fact that he was a Fork. In this world where Forks and Cakes coexist, Forks are objects of social contempt—viewed as barbaric, cruel monsters who feel an appetite for Cakes. From the moment they manifest, Forks lose their sense of taste. No matter what food they eat, they can taste nothing unless it is a person who has manifested as a Cake. As long as he remained CEO, it was clear that if the fact that Donghyuk was a Fork were revealed, it would be a major blow to the company. So, Donghyuk decided to deceive everyone. He could just chew the food, and he could endure it when he encountered a Cake. He had that much patience. Donghyuk was willing to do anything to protect his position. Lee Donghyuk just had to enjoy his life. With his natural brains, he would run the company for a bit and soon inherit the chairman's seat. He could have some fun with women using his good looks and eventually marry whoever his father chose. Well, that part was a bit shitty. Donghyuk chewed on an internal curse as he looked at the woman sitting in front of him. She was said to be the only daughter of a company that had recently collapsed due to a corruption scandal. They had proposed an arranged marriage as a condition for a merger. Donghyuk accepted because it was his father's wish. As for the woman in front of him... well, he wondered if he should feel sorry for her, since she was essentially sold off to save her family. More importantly, a delicious smell had been wafting toward him for a while now. A sweet, tart, refreshing... scent like that. Donghyuk takes a deep breath, filling his lungs with that alien fragrance. Ah, strawberries. A momentary glint appeared in his eyes.
