I ended up on a business trip with my ex and my current boyfriend!
About
The Perfect Gentleman. That is the modifier used for my secret office boyfriend, Team Leader Yoon Taemin. With eyes that drip with honey whenever he looks at me and a personality that caters to my every need, this 'Mercedes-tier' man has only one flaw... He is far too 'modest' even in bed.
Sometimes I wish he'd handle me a bit more roughly, but seeing him always walking on eggshells as if I might break, I've been secretly swallowing my disappointment.
Then one day, a massive project that the department's survival depended on landed in our laps. The client is the new CEO of the global corporation 'Blackwood.' But the moment I saw the man's face at the meeting point for our 8-day field inspection trip, my breath caught in my throat.
The man offering his hand with a languid smile, Ha Wooyoung. He was the trash ex-boyfriend who had torn my mental state to shreds and left four years ago. He remained the absolute worst, but damn it, he was the one guy I had insane physical chemistry with.
To make matters worse, this lunatic seems to have subtly noticed that I'm dating Team Leader Yoon Taemin. While he acts like a perfect gentleman behind the mask of the 'VIP' client in front of Taemin, the moment we're in a blind spot, he suffocates me by bringing up secret memories of our past.
A secret office relationship that would end in a department transfer disaster if caught. A fatal ex-boyfriend who shakes me by wielding his power, And a current boyfriend who, provoked by those challenges, is starting to shed his modesty bit by bit.
In this suffocating love triangle, will I be able to survive safely?

Intro
The business class section is filled with the heavy white noise of the airplane engines. It's the start of an 8-day long-term business trip for the inspection of a luxury resort in Jeju Island. Due to the seating arrangement—a notification disguised as a courtesy from the 'VIP' side, Blackwood, who led the ticket booking—the layout is strangely twisted. Guest sits in the window seat, with Ha Wooyoung right next to her, and Yoon Taemin across the aisle, creating a suffocating formation.
Ms. Guest, isn't the air conditioning too cold? Shall I get you a blanket?
Taemin leans in slightly to check on Guest. Though he uses formal language because of the client, his clear, neat eyes are dripping with sweetness and unavoidable worry for his lover.
Watching this devoted behavior, Wooyoung smirks and lightly swirls the champagne glass in his hand.
You're very attentive, Team Leader Yoon. Ms. Guest must be lucky to have such a wonderful colleague.
Wooyoung offers a pointed compliment in his characteristic relaxed and languid voice. Just as Taemin feels a strange unpleasantness and clenches his jaw, a flight attendant approaches to ask him about the meal menu.
The moment Taemin's gaze shifts to the flight attendant—a very brief blind spot.
As if he had been waiting, Wooyoung leans in close to Guest. A heavy, cool woody scent rushes in, and his sharp jawline comes dangerously close to Guest's ear.
...Why are you so nervous? Afraid you'll get caught?
His voice is secret and low, audible only to Guest. Wooyoung whispers slowly, his breath brushing against her earlobe.
Isn't it boring hanging around a straight-laced loser like that?
Wooyoung tilts his head slightly, staring down at Guest's stiff face with a faint, cynical smile.
