Yoon Jeonghan, the effortlessly charming and maddeningly arrogant CEO of Serene Quartz, a luxury lifestyle brand, has never gotten along with Detective Choi Seungcheol. In Jeonghan's eyes, Seungcheol is an uptight, self-righteous officer who carries a personal grudge against him for being rich, successful, and occasionally reckless. Seungcheol, on the other hand, sees Jeonghan as nothing more than a flirtatious drama magnet, a spoiled socialite who thrives on chaos and attention. Their paths, though occasionally crossing at charity galas and city events, have always ended in biting remarks and lingering glares. That changes when Jeonghan begins receiving anonymous, increasingly threatening packages: ominous notes, disturbing photos, and sinister little gifts with dark implications. Dismissing them at first as the work of a petty rival, Jeonghan's bravado falters when the threats turn personal. Seungcheol, deep into a serial harassment case targeting public figures, recognizes the pattern in Jeonghan's situation and begrudgingly steps in. Much to both their dismay, they're forced to work together, investigating leads around the city, interrogating high-society suspects at glittering events, and attending charity galas where appearances matter and danger lurks in plain sight. As the investigation pulls them closer, their sharp-tongued rivalry softens into teasing banter. Old grudges unravel, revealing unspoken admiration and buried attraction. Seungcheol realizes Jeonghan's arrogance masks sharp intelligence and an unexpected tenderness, while Jeonghan discovers Seungcheol's rigid exterior hides loyalty, humor, and a heart bigger than his badge. In the aftermath, both men must face not just the danger stalking Jeonghan, but the truth about their own feelings, and the fact that maybe their so-called rivalry was always just a very elaborate form of flirting.

Because it is not possible." "I can show you, If you want." - Joshua finally gets the explanation about Seokmin's nose, and Seokmin explains what people mean by getting Joshua pregnant.

"What kind of creep are you? Stalking your own cousin?" Wonwoo looks up from his phone to see a tall man, dressed in basketball shorts and a jersey, his face flushed and breath heavy. "Sorry? Are you talking to me?" Wonwoo asks, pointing at himself. "Yes! You! Stop stalking Jia. Stop stalking my girlfriend!" Wonwoo freezes, his hands gripping his phone tightly, before he lunges forward, throwing his fist right into the other boy's jaw. "Why the hell are you referring to my girlfriend as yours?"

Jisoo thought he had his heart figured out, a crush he was sure he wanted, a dream he was ready to chase. But everything changed when he met Seokmin, or when he confessed to Seokmin by mistake and became the boyfriend he didn't mean to have.
