Jake has always dreamed of finding a stable job, one that would let him step into the adult world after graduation. When he lands an interview with one of the most prestigious companies in Seoul, he doesn't expect much. But to his surprise, he's hired as the personal secretary to the enigmatic and successful CEO, Lee Heeseung. Confident, cold, and reserved, Heeseung seems like the perfect boss, but beneath his composed exterior lies a heart still healing from the death of his wife just a few months prior. Heeseung is determined to focus on raising his son, Hyunjae, and doesn't want to open his heart to anyone again. His main goal is to find someone who can step into the role of a mother for Hyunjae, without the need for love to complicate things.
But Jake, with his natural warmth and genuine kindness, begins to break through the walls Heeseung has built around himself. As Jake spends more time with Heeseung and Hyunjae, he starts to see Heeseung in a new light-not just as a CEO but as a man struggling to balance his personal and professional life. Heeseung, on the other hand, begins to notice Jake's quiet strength and his unspoken ability to care for Hyunjae. What starts as a professional relationship slowly evolves into something much more complicated.
Heeseung never intended to fall in love again, but somewhere along the way, his feelings for Jake grow unexpectedly deep. He doesn't know when it happened, only that one day, he finds himself caring for Jake in a way he never imagined. But will he be able to recognize his own emotions before it's too late? And will Jake be willing to step into a life that doesn't promise the kind of love he's always hoped for?
As their worlds collide, the lines between duty, love, and family blur, leaving both Heeseung and Jake to face the possibility of a future they never planned for, but might just be exactly what they need.
