Physically confronting your abusive superior might be cool and satisfying when it happens in a drama, but, as Kazuo Sugishita is learning, it's less cool when you're sitting at home afterwards, terrified to learn how you'll be punished when you return to work the next day. The sentence he faces sounds surprisingly lenient - just a temporary reassignment to the company's entertainment department while things blow over. But he changes his mind when he gets the specifics: Kazuo has been assigned as manager-in-training (read "servant") to Shiro Hoshizono, the "Star Watcher": A pompous, showoff-y, completely insufferable talent with no actual talents except using his sickeningly sweet words and foreign model looks to seduce lonely middle... more>> aged women into paying for the privilege of hearing him speak.

After graduating from the Department of Theater and Film, Mirang was working as an extra in the movie industry when she unexpectedly landed a significant role in a new film by a famous director. ... more>>

Her joy is short-lived, however, when the revised script comes back with a passionate bed scene. She was about to give up on her role, but when she saw her older sister struggling to support her, she strengthened her resolve.

Following her senior’s advice to gain experience if she had none, Mirang came to Itaewon to find a partner. There, she offered to help a soldier who had his wallet and passport stolen.

He was perfect for a no-strings-attached practice session.

“Hello? My name is Mirang Kang. Can I help you?”

“No, thank you.”

He rejected her outright, but she couldn’t give up now. Embarrassed, with her ears red and lips trembling, Mirang pushes on, her determination outweighing her shame.

“I help you, you help me. Okay?”

The man stares at her for a long moment before he sighs and nods reluctantly.

“…Okay.”

After paying for his drinks and bringing him to her home, Mirang discovers, to her delight, that he speaks Korean. She eagerly hands him the script, only to face his scorn after he reads it.

“Adult film? So, you’re a p*rn actress?”

“What? p*rno? Are you insane?”

“No?”

“I’m really not that kind of actress! I get that just reading the script might give that impression… but it’s really not that kind of movie.”

After many twists and turns, the two began practicing. What started as strict adherence to the script soon turned into dangerous, breathtaking improvisation.

André de Lafayette never lost sight of his position. Having completed his military service per his family’s tradition, he was returning to New York when he met Mirang by chance. Experiencing his first deviation from a meticulously planned life, he finds his cold blue blood stirred by unfamiliar emotions.

A woman with a flame-like innocence in her heart meets a man with blue blood as cold as ice. Will the flame extinguish first, or will the ice melt away?

This is a retro romance with an analog feel that unfolds between Seoul and New York in the mid-90s. <<less

After a red meteor slashed through the heavens, human progress ground to a halt. ... more>>

Since that momentous day, humanity lost its ability to create rockets, nuclear weapons, airplanes, cars...

The towering pyramid of civilization, meticulously built from the achievements of modern science, crumbled into dust.

Yet, the catastrophe didn't stop there. The grey realm, following the arrival of the red meteor, like a ghostly reflection behind a mirror, dragged the civilized world bit by bit into the abyss of disorder.

The smell of tobacco and alcohol there was so strong that it made me feel uncomfortable.

I just raised my eyes inadvertently and saw him.

The handsomeness and coldness between his brows and eyes that shone wantonly under the dim light. There was a faint smile hanging on the corner of his lips, sharp and beautiful.

That was the first time I saw someone who could combine handsome arrogance with charming beauty, extremely beautiful.

His waist and abdomen are muscular and strong, and the leather belt outlines his slim waist. His shoulders are wide and his legs are long. He is as haughty as a lazy cat, but his aura is sharp and cold.

"Hey, little girl."

"...You just want to find a reason to support me, right?"

I was a little too eager to convince him, so I hurriedly grabbed his ankle and looked into his eyes.

"It's true. I want you to stand on the highest stage."

"You deserve it."

He rarely looked directly at others. He looked into the girl's eyes, then raised the corners of his lips, picked up another cigarette, and lit it, then murmured.

"...It's not impossible to believe you once."

-

He is an internationally famous wild rose, arrogant, th**ny and wild.

But he just wants to be the palm of someone's hand.

——

He nestled in my arms, tired but unable to close his eye. His voice said laziness and with magnetism:

"I wish I could have met you sooner."

He began to fall asleep, his eyes half-closed and his voice almost inaudible.

"Someone to love me sooner..."
