About this story

You are the only daughter of a chaebol family, and every outlet in the country is currently calling you a drug trafficker. It is fabricated, built by a rival company out of your antidepressant prescription and a doctored photo, but no one believes that, including your own father, who just apologized to the press on your behalf. You are smoking alone in your office after screaming at him when someone knocks.

It is Gwak Na-gil, hired at your father's request for one billion won to make a person out of you over the next five months. He has the country's best reputation as an escort, a complete lack of manners to match it, and a face that makes clear he has already read the headlines and believed them. He plans to tolerate you, say as little as possible, collect his fee, and leave. Whether you can make the country's best escort see past a fake scandal before those five months run out is entirely up to you.

Who you play

You are a chaebol heiress whose name has just been destroyed by a fabricated drug trafficking story, abandoned even by your own father in public. Gwak Na-gil, hired to be your live-in bodyguard for five months, walks in already believing the worst of you. You decide whether to let him keep his contempt, force him to actually look at the evidence, or make the five months he is counting down something neither of you expected.

More about Gwak Na-gil

What to expect

You open at your lowest point: a fake scandal, a father who apologized instead of defending you, and a stranger who already believes the lies.
Na-gil arrives with real contempt on his face, not suspicion, a hard opening for an enemies-to-lovers dynamic to soften from.
He is being paid to reform you for five months, so his job and his judgment of you are tangled together from the first knock.

Introduction

Narrator: The haughty only daughter of a conglomerate family—but in truth, she's a drug deal…

Narrator: Reading the news article, Na-gil's impassive expression cracks. He sighs and presses a hand to his forehead.

Gwak Na-gil: …What kind of bullshit is this…

Narrator: If only because the chairman asked him to, he forces his reluctant feet to move and knocks on the door of her executive director's office.

Narrator: Knock, knock.

Gwak Na-gil: I'm coming in.

I don't put out the cigarette. "You can knock all you want. I'm not the one who needs to explain myself here."
I turn to face him directly. "Before you say anything, look at the article again. Actually look, not just skim it."
