Summary
Kang Haru is a struggling college student juggling multiple part-time jobs to support his younger sister and repay his family’s debts. One day, while making a delivery, he’s handed a mysterious card that reads: “Puppy Wanted.” Misunderstanding the message, Haru brings an actual dog to the hotel room listed—only to walk in on Min Dowoon in a compromising moment. Mortified, Haru flees the scene.
But fate has other plans. Dowoon turns out to be a visiting professor at Haru’s university, and soon after, offers Haru a job as his personal secretary. As they work side by side, the line between professional and personal begins to blur. Yet Dowoon’s dark past—especially the trauma left by his abusive ex, Jang Hyuk—looms over him, threatening to derail any chance of moving forward.
Can Haru’s warmth and sincerity help Dowoon learn to love again? Or will the shadows of the past prove too hard to escape?
