Est is a top national swimmer-disciplined, focused, and completely married to his routine. In his final year of university, he has no time for distractions, especially not lazy freshmen who stumble into his world. William, on the other hand, is the very definition of pampered. Starting his first year at university, he's horrified to learn that every student is expected to take up a part-time job. Desperate and clueless, he ends up as an assistant in the university's sports department... where he's immediately assigned to help none other than Est. What begins as mutual annoyance slowly unravels into something softer, warmer-something that feels a lot like love. But when two people from such different worlds collide, the water can get choppy. A slow-burn romance filled with swimming goggles, accidental pep talks, stolen glances, and the quiet realization that maybe, just maybe, they were meant to meet like this.

Est, a respected and feared CEO, runs one of the biggest companies in the country. Cold, demanding, and distant, he keeps everyone at arm's length. William, a brave young graduate, struggles to support his sick mother and little sister. For weeks, he's been trying - and failing - to get a job at Est's company. One day, as Est leaves the building, William kneels before him, begging for a chance. The CEO walks away without a word... but fate has other plans. A few days later, Est makes him an unexpected offer: > "If you want to work for me... then become my husband." A marriage born from a contract - but can their hearts follow the rules? 💍

Young CEO Est is struggling under pressure-until a visit to the café across the street and a chance meeting with William begins to change everything.

Let's see how William and Est find comfort, connection, and maybe something more... one cup at a time. Snippet: He walked up to the counter slowly, eyes scanning the menu, although he wasn't really reading it. "You're new here," the barista said, already watching him. Est looked up. "How did you know?" The barista smiled, easy and confident. "Because I'd remember your face if you weren't." That made Est pause. His lips twitched, amused despite himself. "I'm William," the barista added, extending a hand. "Let me make you a drink. I've got just the thing." Est raised an eyebrow. "Do I get to know what it is?" "Nope," William said cheerfully. "Only question is-do you trust me?" Est stared at him for a second, then nodded. "Surprise me."
