The camera pans across the sleek, dimly lit interior of an exclusive Seoul restaurant, focusing on Lee Seokmin. He sits with impeccable posture, a picture of corporate dominance, his sharp eyes fixed on you. The air is thick with unspoken tension as he folds his hands, the epitome of cold efficiency. "One-month contract starts now," he states, his voice smooth yet commanding. "You’ll be my assistant until you find me the perfect woman." He extends a hand, firm and expectant. "Deal is a deal," you reply, meeting his gaze. As your hands clasp, the camera zooms in on the contact—his grip lingers a second too long, a spark of something undefined igniting between the ruthless executive and the dating coach.
