Naive comic artist Seonho (a bit oblivious and not put-together but genuinely nice sweet guy,sort of puppyish, bi realization then falls in love quite quickly), who draws R-19 series, hires beauty(?)-and-brains Muyoung (cold exterior/face, rich but doesn't want to take over his grandma's kimchi company, tries to maintain cold facade but ends up giving in/helping a lot and secretly emotional, has a crush on Seonho, scared of falling in love bc bad previous relationship with straight/closeted guy and so tries to only have one night stands/sex without feelings) with outstanding skills to be his assistant. However, working with Muyoung who is too task-oriented and has a prickly temperament, turns out to be a little difficult. Seonho asks Muyoung to pose for him one day to help with a sexy scene, but when he saw how erotic Muyoung's pose is, Seonho's "junior"... that hasn't stood in 2 years, got up. It's hard! It got hard! It finally got hard! This is an unpredictable, comical and chest-tickling BL story brought to you by Milla and Yalgae! mutual attraction and feeling each other out, small misunderstandings, (addresses homophobia in society but everyone around them is supportive), rich best friend who is disinterested in everything but who is secretly in love with muyeong but then gets in severe car accident and causes brief tension/drama by monopolizing muyeong at expense of s/m's relationship (sort of selfish but honestly not that bad and they stay friends after m rejects him), fleshed out characters (not just romance/relationship but work as comic artist, etc), surprisingly sweet and wholesome relationship

great story - It started off like some dumb and dumber crack-filled comedy. Progresses to some dark past unfolding. Proceeds to 『drive you to an edge and push you off a cliff』of unearthing hidden feelings. And slams you with a heartwarming family chaos. Then bids farewell with a promising future sort of stupid but kind/good-hearted minkyu and his dumbass friends lol, and junghyun is too pure/sweet T_T very pg comedy of misunderstandings minkyu has crush on girl but accidentally asks out guy junghyun instead (turns out is her twin brother but they pretend not to know each other at school because he caused her a lot of trouble by being too pretty) j develops crush on m for telling him to stand up for himself (turns out he actually had a crush on him from before for being bright and outgoing), m is weak to j's pure niceness and agrees to trial dating for 6 months for j to try to win him over, but m breaks up with j because m thinks he's straight, but they communicate(!) and slowly m starts to fall in love, with some drama with psycho from j's past tryig to stir up trouble (that escalates to him pushing m off a cliff?! though eventually his traumatic family past is revealed and he does end up apologizing) and past hurt (j was bullied, is shy) and insecurities and stuff (but also sweet backstory to why j had crush on m in the first place) along the way, ends heartwarming, and they love each other for their personalities(!) and they communicate and care for each other.. a healthy relationship yessss also side couple of m's friends in one-side love and their backstory interwoven with main story (eventually reciprocated) (childhood and family friends, mom got cancer and died and hoyoung supported beom through it, b secretly in love for years before confessing, some drama but eventually decide to slowly see how it goes even if h doesn't return feelings (yet), later story of b's dad considering remarriage and b's difficulty accepting change (but no bad characters, just sad but sweet moving on, both his mom and his new stepmom are good interesting characters) - family - b's dad and future stepmom worry about her making a good impression on b and a bit of drama because they might have to move abroad, conflict between b and dad with dad making unilateral decisions and both of them bottling up how they feel inside, h supports b and stands up for him to his dad and helps him move forward and resolve their issues, b and h relationship found out by stepmom who understands, b makes difficult decision to move with family away from h but h finally realizes feelings and to make long distance relationship work until he comes back) growing up, healthy relationships, funny, heartwarming

Tsundere ‘straight’ college boy uke who can see red strings of fate finds out his string is connected to his male kouhai, tries to keep rejecting him but kouhai is a fluffball puppy in love and fate keeps putting them in cliche situations, cute wholesome, consent is sexy, a bit of self-inflicted angst but mostly fluff homeboy can see the red thread of destiny since little. Sounds romantic but he learned that the very ability he possess does not necessary make a person happy. He also subconsciously believed that a romance influenced by it is fake, even. One day, he saw his red thread finally leading him to his fated one and he hoped it's his crush but it lead to a guy. WTF moment there. And not only that, it started the frequent serendipitous meetings they have, it left the poor guy frustrated to the bone he googled a way to cut the thread off. Now, he had the solution to his problems but he's actually having second thoughts about cutting their connection. And with good timing, just when they were not each other's fated pair anymore through cutting the red string, he realized he's inlove. OUCH.
