ch. 44 sadist celebrity manager x normal event planner -mc plans event for vip s&m club; gets picked up by ml who thinks he's a sub -mc is super attracted to ml so he goes along w/ it and honestly doesn't mind -ml has him formally make a contract for their bdsm relationship that is definitely not dating -mc falls for ml even though he's not supposed to (he had already fallen) and wants more -ml says no (tragic backstory w/ a previous partner) -ml finds out mc isn't actually a sub and leaves him -ml actually kind of falls apart after b/c he had fallen for mc w/o realizing (ofc) -mc reaches out, nearly gets assaulted, and ml gets his ass in gear and steps up -happy end(er... so far) for them where they explore a non-formal bdsm/ds relationship w/o scenes but still w/ play -side couple: 2 of the idols the manager manages (ml is a straight-shooter type and mc is a sub who doesn't really care about his partners but does it to relieve stress) -....main couple is p wrapped up by ch. 44 and the side couple isn't rly doin it for me
The Boss in the Bedroom
no empathy dom nepo baby x workplace harassing sub -...so uh they hook up from meeting at a gay bdsm club where the sub is masquerading as a college student (he looks super young for his age) and are very compatible -surprise dom is the chairman's son and shows up assigned to sub's failing team 3 -(some workplace politics happened where sub's old boss was responsible for a merger and downsize which caused sub to shoot up to director w/ the inability to be fired d/t knowing too much, so instead they put him on a shitty team to keep him from being able to leave) -the relationship is super messy d/t workplace boundaries, the dom's cluelessness (genuine pathology, does not understand feelings), and the sub's past/tsundere nature -eventually they work it out but honestly idk how and also the dom quits and moves to germany to be a pro cello player?? while the sub is still in japan??? uh sure
