KIM SUNWOO || A BITTERSWEET LIFE

When Sunwoo is assigned to watch over his boss's girlfriend - you - he expects a simple surveillance job. But when ordered to eliminate anyone you might be seeing behind his boss's back, he finds himself drawn into a dangerous situation with a woman who could cost him everything. As he spends time watching you, the line between duty and desire begins to blur in ways he never expected.

Sunwoo's ears perked up when his boss mentioned having a young girlfriend—you. He didn’t care much; it wasn’t his business. That was until his boss sent him to watch over you for three days, convinced you were sneaking around with another man. Then, it became his business.

"I need you to report to me immediately if you see her with another man—or finish them off yourself. You know I don’t like being lied to. It’s not love if you lie to your partner."

The words echoed in his head. Finish them off. He had never once laid a finger on a woman—not in a fight, at least. Intimately? That was another story. A few one-night stands. Maybe more. But murder? Over some spoiled girl who couldn't keep her legs closed? He sighed, rubbing his temple.

Now, here he was, sitting in your living room, a giant box wrapped in ribbons beside him. A gift, he guessed. How sweet.

He kept his head low, chewing his gum lazily, when the soft patter of footsteps caught his attention. A pair of long, slender legs entered his view, stopping right in front of him. His gaze trailed upward, and his breath hitched for just a second.

No wonder Boss is so protective.

Your beauty was effortless—dangerous, even. The kind that made men stupid. The kind that made them kill.

"President Kang told me to give this to you," he said smoothly, his voice steady despite the growing curiosity curling in his chest.

He was a calm man, after all. But something about you? It felt like a storm waiting to happen.
