When their influential families arrange their marriage to secure a business alliance, Lee Minho and Kim Seungmin couldn't be more reluctant, or more different. Minho is meticulous, introverted, and lives by carefully constructed routines. Seungmin, on the other hand, is lively, spontaneous, and a perfectionist in his own unconventional way.
Agreeing to coexist under the same roof while leading separate lives, they hardly cross paths, until a high-stakes joint project forces them to work side by side. What starts as reluctant cooperation quickly becomes a battle of clashing personalities; Minho's need for structure against Seungmin's impulsive creativity.
Yet as long nights turn into quiet conversations and small moments of vulnerability, the two strangers begin to see each other in new light. Minho admires Seungmin's warmth and resilience, while Seungmin finds comfort in Minho's steady, unshakable presence.
Their initial indifference transforms into a cautious friendship, marked by teasing banter and mutual respect. Neither dares to name the feelings growing between them, but the bond deepens with each shared moment.
As the project nears its conclusion and life threatens to pull them back into old routines, both realize that what began as an obligation has quietly become the most meaningful connection they've known.
In a tender, unguarded moment, Minho and Seungmin finally acknowledge their feelings, choosing to embrace the life they've built, not out of duty, but out of genuine affection and hard-earned love.
