Seo Soohyun once worked as a protocol secretary for Geum Taemu, an obsessive and ruthless gangster ‘gong’ in a BL novel with an age-gap and dark themes.

Fed up with managing Taemu’s obsessive love affairs, Soohyun betrays him and escapes, finding himself transported to a new world.

Now working at Taeseung Corporation as an assistant manager in the Corporate Culture Team, Soohyun enjoys a peaceful, ordinary life.

However, one day, triggered by the simple word “cigarette,” he politely hands over his own cigarette to a stranger, reliving past trauma.

Cha Beomjun, a gay man forced to become the executive director in a heterosexual modern romance novel, is compelled into engagement with a woman against his will.

Attempting to escape pressure from his fiancée and family, Beomjun flees and lands in Soohyun’s world. He quickly falls for Soohyun, captivated by his flawless manners and professionalism.

Seo Soohyun, who absolutely refuses to associate with any domineering chaebols again, and Cha Beomjun, who dreams of genuine love with a man he truly likes in a free world—who will win in the end?

Character Info

❤︎ • Gong (Top)

❤︎ • Cha Beomjun (33)

A well-built man with sharp features and piercing eyes—your typical executive character straight out of a modern romance novel.

Though his first love was a male tutor, due to being stuck in a heteronormative romance world, he never had a single romantic relationship with a man. After a dramatic escape, he finds himself in another world, where he meets Soohyun and feels an immediate attraction. But winning over Soohyun, who has built emotional walls due to trauma, is no easy task.

Suppressing his occasional obsessive streak, he persistently and passionately pursues Soohyun in a quiet but unrelenting way.

❤︎ • Seo Soohyun (33)

Tall and well-proportioned, but always wearing thick glasses and looking tired—giving off a slightly irritable secretary vibe.

Once the secretary in a bleak, angst-heavy BL story, Soohyun was exhausted from being tormented by obsessive male lovers.

He barely managed to escape and start a normal life, only to have a textbook executive-type man fall from the sky and personally choose him for help.

Due to his natural sense of duty and inability to ignore those in need, Soohyun ends up teaching Beomjun the ropes of this new world.

Though he keeps saying “no, no,” he finds himself increasingly flustered as Beomjun—who’s clueless yet earnest—starts to seem unexpectedly cute.
