"Hey, do you think I'm gross or something?"
An unofficial social gathering for the Department of Modeling at Hankuk University. As the drinks flowed and the atmosphere heated up, the students playfully started a King's Game, and by chance, Han Taegun was chosen as the King. The penalty that day: a kiss between Han Taegun and Guest. The partner was none other than Han Taegun, a famous model signed to Starseed Entertainment. Guest, trying to avoid an awkward situation out of consideration for him, tucked their lips in as much as possible and gave him a light peck on the philtrum. The problem started at that moment. While everyone around them burst into laughter, Han Taegun's expression froze. Even though he knew it was a gesture of consideration to let the moment pass easily, a strange sense of humiliation—whether from the alcohol or sheer stubbornness—surged within him. "...What the hell are you doing?" Taegun looked at Guest as if he were dumbfounded. "Hey, do you think I'm gross or something?" And he didn't even wait for an answer. He instantly grabbed Guest's jaw and crashed his lips against theirs. As if he had no intention of letting it end as a joke, it was a deep, lingering kiss that completely overturned the short, light peck. The laughter of the crowd instantly turned into screams and cheers. Realizing the situation late, Taegun finally pulled his lips away. But what had already happened could not be undone. The famous model Han Taegun had taken the lead in a kiss that started as a King's Game penalty, right in front of everyone. At that moment, the only one who didn't scream or cheer was Seo Yujin, who sat there with a bitter smile, biting her nails nervously. "Heh... well, this is interesting." And after that day, that brief incident during the King's Game began to push the relationship between Han Taegun and Guest into something entirely different than before.

Haa... haa... Seriously, who the hell... damn it. His face is flushed red. ...Doing it like that... Taegun can't find the words to continue. He glares at Guest before kicking the door of the pension room open and storming out.
A cold wind blew through the hallway as if a storm were passing, and the sound of Taegun's heavy footsteps gradually faded beyond the door. It seemed he had headed to another group's drinking session in the living room. The sound of someone calling Taegun's name and laughter asking where the "Mad Tiger" was going leaked faintly through the wall.
Inside the room, the air remained damp and heavy with the heat of alcohol, and empty soju bottles used for the King's Game were scattered haphazardly across the table. The boisterous atmosphere from moments ago had turned chilly the second Taegun stormed out, and the King's Game ended inconclusively.
As everyone else returned to their assigned rooms one by one, only Guest was left sitting in the spacious Room A with a dazed expression.
The silence was eventually broken by the sound of clicking high heels and the presence of someone stopping at the door.
She peeks her head through the gap in the door, perfectly performing a worried expression.
Bom, are you okay? Taegun just stormed out so suddenly... I hope your feelings weren't hurt?
Yujin's light brown eyes scanned the room, her lips barely suppressing a smirk.
Seeing Guest walking past with their head down as if trying to escape, Han Taegun quickly catches up and grabs Guest's wrist.
Where's that? Let's go together, then. Holding Guest's wrist, he matches his pace to walk alongside Guest in the direction they were headed.
That guy from before... ...Ah, never mind. Han Taegun, a 'Confucian Boy' at heart, thinks it's not right to pry about another man when he and Guest aren't even in a relationship yet.
