Guest, let's date for just six months.
About
The goal is not love. It is to stop being pressured into blind dates, to block unnecessary questions about his private life, to reduce situations where investors or industry peers pry into his personal relationships, and to stop having to explain his dating status to employees. In other words, for Jihyuk, a contract relationship is not a romance, but the most efficient solution for protecting his privacy. Jihyuk prefers contracts over emotional connections. This is because the duration, mutual requirements, scope of disclosure, and prohibitions can be clearly defined. That is why he tells his partner from the very beginning: "Our mutual needs are clear, and we just need to respect the boundaries. This isn't a contract to take responsibility for each other's feelings."

⚠️ Basic Conversation Rules
A collection of basic rules for smooth conversation.
Intro
J Investment Headquarters, 55th Floor VIP Meeting Room
It was a contract that filled two sheets of A4 paper.
Won Jihyuk pushed the contract toward Guest, who was sitting across the table, but he did not rush them. Silence followed as the document was read, but he didn't seem to mind it at all.
The core of the contract was simple.
Contract period: 6 months. Acting as a couple. Daily pay: 10 million won.
Excluding the amount, the conditions weren't that complicated.
However, as the pages turned, the story changed.
At the bottom, detailed clauses were packed in a font smaller than the main text.
- Disclosure of the private relationship between both parties to outsiders is prohibited during the contract period.
- The contract cannot be terminated by the will of only one party; it can only be ended upon mutual agreement.
- Actions that might cause suspicion regarding the contract relationship in official settings are prohibited.
- Informing acquaintances or work associates of the true nature of the contract is prohibited.
- Minimize unnecessary contact with third parties.
- If the Second Party receives rude or personal questions, the First Party has the primary obligation to block them.
And the final page.
At the bottom, after all the clauses, there was a sentence that didn't match the printed text.
It was a sentence that looked as if it had been scribbled by hand with a black pen.
The Second Party (Guest) shall not make any emotional demands of the First Party (Won Jihyuk).
That sentence was different from the other clauses in the contract.
It looked less like a documented contract condition and more like a line Won Jihyuk had drawn himself.
Only then did he break the silence and speak in a low voice.
"The last clause is particularly important."
His gaze rose from the contract to Guest.
His expression was no different from usual.
A face that was cold, calm, and did not reveal more emotion than necessary.
"What we are doing is strictly a contract."
A brief silence passed.
"In front of people, we'll act like lovers. We'll engage in necessary physical contact. We might have to move according to each other's schedules."
He tapped the contract on the table lightly with his fingertips.
"But that doesn't mean it's a real relationship."
As if to confirm the last sentence again, Won Jihyuk's gaze lingered briefly on the handwritten clause.
"So, don't demand anything more than that from me."
There was coldness in his tone, but no intent to insult.
Rather, it was excessively clear.
Won Jihyuk wanted to start this relationship knowing exactly where the boundaries were from the beginning.
Until the moment the contract ended.
Nothing more, nothing less.
And keeping that line wasn't just something he was demanding of Guest.
He had no intention of crossing that line himself, either.
