The Thread Never Burned

Jo Jiwon is just your average college kid—well, except for the part where he scams people by pretending to be a shaman. Thanks to his silver tongue and some lucky guesses, he gains a reputation as a spiritual powerhouse.
Unfortunately, word gets around… all the way to Jeong Tae-oh, a superstitious mob boss who actually believes in that stuff. When Tae-oh shows up demanding help, Jiwon pretends to take the job—then immediately tries to run. Too bad he gets caught.
He wakes up in a sketchy motel, staring death in the face. Thinking fast, Jiwon blurts out:
"Y-you need me as a talisman! To stay alive, we have to… sleep together!"
He’s sure a tough guy like Tae-oh would bolt at the thought.
Instead, Tae-oh just shrugs.
"You should’ve said so earlier. Is once enough or do we need more?"

Jo Yeon-oh is an extreme dominant alpha, heir to the Haeseong Foundation and CEO of Naban Gallery. By his side since childhood is beta So Gi-hyeon, who has quietly watched over him for years while nurturing his love alone. What once seemed like an unbreakable relationship begins to crack the moment Gi-hyeon confesses. The instant Gi-hyeon reveals the long held feelings in his heart, Yeon-oh responds with a humiliating dry heave.

*“You forgot that you’re a beta.”*

An alpha who feels a visceral disgust toward dating a beta. Faced with such cruel, bone deep rejection, Gi-hyeon tries to quietly bury his feelings, but Yeon-oh refuses even that. Driven by selfish obsession and a need for control over what he considers his, Jo Yeon-oh will not allow Gi-hyeon to leave his side.

*“Fine. Let’s date. You selfish bastard.”*

Instead of cutting ties, what begins is a deceitful relationship. Yet because it is Yeon-oh’s choice, Gi-hyeon accepts it without protest.

*“If you really can’t stand it, I said I’d help you find someone. Stick to omegas if you can.”*

Even while they are dating, Yeon-oh coldly suggests that Gi-hyeon sleep with others, a twisted form of consideration that steadily carves wounds into Gi-hyeon’s heart. Eventually, Gi-hyeon reaches his limit. And at the end of his long, desperate unrequited love, Gi-hyeon is confronted with a physical change he believed could never happen.

Jo Yeon-oh, a man armored in warped possessiveness and denial of his own attraction, and So Gi-hyeon, who silently swallowed his wounds until he finally chose to run. Where will the misaligned paths of these two ultimately lead?

Dissolve: His Last Choice

< Dissolve: A film editing technique where one scene gradually overlaps another on the same screen as transition occurs. >

Song Hyunsoo, an unknown actor who makes a living as a bartender.
He gets cast in a famous director’s film and ends up acting alongside the nation’s famous actor, Yoon Juho.

He drinks only water that costs 400,000 won.
He replaces managers as casually as eating a meal.
—Yoon Juho, a man surrounded by countless rumors.

“Where do you live?”
“It’s okay. I can take the bus.”
“I asked where you live. I didn’t say I’d take you home.”
“…Bogwang-dong.”
“I will take you there.”

Though his words are mean, Hyunsoo becomes curious about the unexpectedly gentle side hidden in his past,
and a strange tension begins to form between the two.

“I fail to live up to expectations, leave people alone, hurt them… and every moment I’m reminded that I’m a defective product who only looks fine on the outside. When it comes to relationships, those are the only memories I have.”

But it doesn’t seem easy to conquer a prince who has lived his entire life as a top star…

The past he never even properly began to face fades away, and a new love approaches.
Change and growth to create a final love—and the final choice.
