How in the world did two complete opposites end up dating? “Baek Eunwoo. Come work for me. Pretend to be my boyfriend. For exactly one year. I’ll pay you… 100 million won.” Hoyeon, the notoriously devilish director of a top artist residency program, needed a fake boyfriend. Right on cue, Eunwoo appeared in front of her— pretty, poor, and painfully kind. Seeing her chance, Hoyeon pounced like a predator snatching prey. Overwhelmed by her force, Eunwoo accepts before he can process what’s happening.
