Despite their contrasting roles, they have always worked well together, earning them a reputation as a dynamic duo within the company. However, when a rumor spreads that they're romantically involved, they decide to play along with the idea to avoid further office gossip. At first, their fake relationship is just another project to manage. Seungkwan, with his attention to detail, ensures they put on a convincing show, while Vernon, with his creative flair, makes the act seem effortless and fun. However, as they spend more time together, Seungkwan starts to develop real feelings for Vernon. He admires Vernon's creativity, his ability to turn ideas into beautiful designs, and the genuine kindness that shines through in everything he does.

He enjoys the camaraderie and the ease with which they've fallen into this new routine but doesn't realize that Seungkwan's feelings have deepened. As Seungkwan's emotions become harder to hide, he finds himself at a crossroads. Should he confess his true feelings to Vernon and risk ruining their professional relationship, or should he continue the charade, knowing that Vernon may never see him as more than a colleague and a fake partner? The boundaries between reality and their act blur, leaving Seungkwan in a whirlwind of uncertainty. Will Vernon ever see beyond the act, or will Seungkwan's feelings remain unrequited?

Wen Junhui has lived in Korea for over a decade, first as a student, now as a quiet, reliable employee at a tech firm. Life is steady, if a little unremarkable. Xu Minghao, his bright, artistic, slightly chaotic co-worker, arrived in Seoul two years ago chasing his creative ambitions. Now, with his visa about to expire and no clear path forward, Minghao finds himself untethered, unsure where to land next. A chance discovery of an apartment advertisement offering heavy discounts for married couples presents an unexpected solution. Jun jokes about how ridiculous it is, until Minghao confesses his visa troubles. In a moment of quiet understanding, they realize their separate problems might be solved by the same plan. They agree to a fake marriage, Minghao gets his residency, Jun gets his dream apartment at a lower price, and they split the costs. It's meant to be a practical, business-like arrangement. No feelings, no complications. But the more time they spend together navigating immigration interviews, decorating their shared home, and answering curious questions from nosy co-workers, the blurrier the lines between pretending and feeling become. Little routines turn into quiet comforts. Shared spaces become safe places. And hearts that were once adrift begin to find steady ground, in each other. In a city full of temporary stays and uncertain futures, sometimes it's the things you never planned for that feel most like home.

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.
