Between us

Kang Heyoon is a 30-year-old taekwondo coach with discipline in his blood, patience in his bones, and a temper he keeps tightly leashed. He just wants to run his dojo, raise his students right, and live quietly.

Unfortunately, Angelo exists.

Angelo is a 28-year-old debt collector tied to the mafia-cold, terrifying, and ruthless to everyone else, yet shamelessly clingy, spoiled, and impossible around Heyoon. After six months of "temporary" cohabitation in Angelo's penthouse, boundaries blur, patience thins, and feelings grow in ways neither of them planned.

Heyoon is brutally honest, emotionally guarded, and fully capable of killing a man with his bare hands.
Angelo looks like a reckless brat but would burn the world down for the people he loves.

This is a slow-burn romance filled with forced proximity, power imbalance, domestic chaos, teasing students, mafia shadows, and a relationship that develops not through grand confessions-but through shared meals, silent understanding, and one very overdue question.

Two dangerous men.
One penthouse.
And a love that takes six months just to be named.
