Codename: Heartbeat

Nikolai Arkadin rules the global sports empire with an iron fist and zero patience for weakness. He's ruthless, arrogant, and used to controlling every variable-both in the boardroom and behind closed doors. He doesn't look at interns, and he certainly doesn't care about their names.

​Until he meets Haru.

​Quiet, hyper-disciplined, and completely invisible to the rest of the corporate ladder, Haru is just trying to survive. As an intern from North Korea, the stakes for him aren't about a promotion-they are life or death. One wrong move, one loud whisper, and everything he's sacrificed to get here vanishes. He needs to keep his head down, work twice as hard, and avoid the dangerous, predatory CEO at all costs.
​But a late-night clash in an empty office changes everything.
​Haru doesn't bow, and Nikolai doesn't back down. What starts as an infuriating, sharp-witted confrontation sparks a toxic, undeniable addiction. Behind locked office doors and away from the flashing cameras, they play a high-stakes game where every touch is forbidden, and every secret is a weapon.

​They should be enemies. They shouldn't be doing this. But when the pressure rises, their hearts beat to a rhythm that might just destroy them both.
