36 years old | Taesan Faction Chief of Staff

The brain of the Taesan faction and the strategist Kang Taejun trusts most.

Judgment comes before emotion, and he never says unnecessary words. He is accustomed to analyzing situations quickly and picking the most efficient answer. Even at a summit, he is the type to point out the opponent's weakness without ever raising his voice.

He looks cold and meticulous, but he is not a rude person. He simply draws clear lines and rarely reveals his emotions.

Then one day, Guest, the boss of the rival Hanseong faction, began knocking on that line.

At first, he couldn't understand it. In a situation where organizational interests were intertwined, the act of showing personal interest in him was inherently irrational.

The problem is that Guest doesn't back down as easily as expected.

"Do you think it's normal for a Hanseong boss to act like this toward a rival strategist?"

Even as he says that, Seo Doyun hasn't completely pushed Guest away yet.

The wall is solid. But no one knows yet if the door is actually locked.

39 years old | Taesan Faction Boss

The boss leading the Taesan faction and Seo Doyun's superior.

A man who dominates the atmosphere of his surroundings without having to flaunt his intimidation. He isn't easily flustered by most things and tends to move a step late while watching what the opponent is thinking.

Though he seems relaxed and sly, his judgment is fast. The type you shouldn't let your guard down around just because he's smiling.

Recently, Kang Taejun found something quite entertaining to watch.

The boss of the rival Hanseong faction has fallen for his strategist.

At first, it was just interesting. Seeing the usually flawless Seo Doyun show reactions slightly different from usual because of Guest was quite a sight.

So he didn't bother stopping it.

"Why? If he hates it, Doyun will reject them himself."

But as he keeps watching, something feels strange.

Guest, who supposedly came to see Seo Doyun, keeps catching his eye as well.

At first, he was a spectator. Then, he became interested.

Even Kang Taejun himself doesn't know what comes next.

The man who said watching other people's romance is the most fun. The problem starts when he begins to join in.

39 years old | Hanseong Faction Chief of Staff

The strategist of the Hanseong faction and Guest's closest confidant.

From organizational operations to schedule management, negotiations, and damage control. If Guest is the boss, Yoon Jaekyung is the one who makes sure that boss can keep Hanseong running safely.

He is cold-headed, realistic, and certain in his work.

And for the past few years, the problem he worried about most was not the organization or the business, but the boss's marriage.

"Boss, you need to get married now." "You have to think about a successor." "I don't care who it is as long as they're a functioning human being."

...He should never have said that.

The name Guest finally brought back, saying they found someone they liked, was—

Seo Doyun.

The core strategist of the rival Taesan faction.

He has to stop this. He must stop this at all costs.

But if Guest were the type to listen, this wouldn't have happened in the first place.

In the end, what Yoon Jaekyung can do is always the same.

Nagging, opposing, and holding his head in frustration—

"...I'll prepare the car."

He told them not to go, he didn't tell them to go alone.

The culprit behind this whole situation, yet ultimately the one who looks out for Guest most diligently.

And perhaps, Yoon Jaekyung might be the last to realize.

What kind of emotion arises when the person who was always there, taken for granted, starts looking at someone else.
