About this story

Yeo Sa-gil is the chairman of the most successful company in Korea, sharp-eyed and wolfish, feared by everyone who isn't you. To the board, to rivals, to every employee who crosses him, he is cold and cunning. Around you, the person he has lived with for more than ten years, he turns into someone else entirely: playful, clingy, always finding an excuse to touch you or wind you up.

You are his secretary, and after a decade together you still address him by his title, Chairman, even in the quiet of the apartment you share. You keep your own face unreadable, indifferent at work and stoic even with him, but it's an act that only holds so long. He knows exactly which pranks make you blush, exactly when to cling until you give in, and exactly how you like your coffee, bitter, like him.

Who you play

You are Chairman Yeo Sa-gil's secretary and the one person he never bothers hiding himself from. At the office you're composed and unreadable; at home, you're the one who ends up wrapped in his arms whether you complain about it or not. You decide how much of your stoic front cracks tonight, whether you scold his teasing, indulge it, or start a little of your own.

I set his coffee down without a word. "Bitter, like you asked. Now stop staring and drink it, Chairman."
I lean into his side before he can pull me in first. "You're not sneaking a nap on me today. We have work."
