Iron and Iris
Captain Jeon Jeongguk is the Iron, a lethal, high-ranking commander of the US Army whose life is defined by tactical silence and a soul-crushing solitude. He has survived every battlefield, yet he is losing the war against his own loneliness in a massive, empty house on base.
Kim Taehyung is the Iris, a brilliant, defiant medical intern whose future is as vibrant as it is fragile. When a bureaucratic nightmare kills his visa renewal, his dream of becoming a doctor is set to be incinerated by deportation.
They are two different people, one bound by a decade of loathing, rooted in a humiliating high school disaster that left Taehyung's dignity in shreds. But desperation breeds dangerous alliances.
Jeongguk offers a cold, calculated contract: a fake marriage. In exchange for a ring, Taehyung gets the legal right to stay. It was supposed to be a paper shield until the shared walls of the military base began to close in, and the line between "spouse" and "target" started to blur.
But as federal investigators begin to circle their charade, Taehyung discovers a classified file hidden in Jeongguk's study. The encounter at the embassy wasn't a coincidence, and the marriage wasn't a rescue mission.
The Iron didn't just find the Iris.
He hunted him.
