    Summary

    TSA wasn’t the dream. It was loud and repetitive and half the time people acted like you were personally trying to ruin their vacation. But it was stable. It was federal. And for someone like Daryl, that meant something. Meant a paycheck on time. Meant benefits, even if he never used them. Meant that when the floor creaked in his apartment at night, it wasn’t from someone trying to bust down his door for drug money or rent owed.

    Didn’t take a diploma to stand in one spot all day and tell people to take their shoes off. Just patience. And maybe a strong bladder.

    or

    Daryl works as a TSA agent at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. It's a boring but stable job, and at the end of the day he really has nothing to complain about. Especially not when twice a week he gets to see the most gorgeous man in the most expensive suit. Soon, Daryl finds himself navigating unfamiliar territory: genuine connection, vulnerability, and the terrifying prospect of letting someone in.

    Summary

    Gi-hun wouldn’t call himself a winner. He didn’t win the games, he survived them. That’s all he’s ever done: survive, even when survival means carrying the weight of every life lost along the way. He took the money and left that world behind, convincing himself it was for the best. For his daughter. For their future. At least, that’s what he keeps telling himself.

    He never expected to meet someone just like him. Another survivor, another person who escaped.

    Or Gi-hun meets In-ho, a former winner, now single father. Just like him.

    Summary

    Seong Gi-hun is broke, broken, and terribly pathetic. His only job? Cleaning the offices of Hwang In-ho, a pharmaceutical CEO whose icy reputation rivals his brittle lungs. But when Gi-hun finds In-ho suffocating on his own boardroom floor, he does the unthinkable: he saves him.

    Now In-ho owns him.

    Their deal is simple: Gi-hun becomes In-ho’s 24/7 "health aide," monitoring his asthma, hiding his weakness, and surviving his scorn. In return, Gi-hun gets enough cash to keep his daughter safe. But every wheezing breath In-ho takes binds them closer—Gi-hun’s scarred hands adjusting oxygen tubes, In-ho’s sharp eyes tracking his every move.

    OR

    A broke janitor saves a CEO’s life. Now he’s his human inhaler.
    It’s clinical. Professional. Totally platonic.

    Summary

    Seong Gi-hun is desperate. His ex will be at his brother’s wedding, his family won’t shut up about his love life (or lack thereof), and the thought of showing up alone makes him want to throw himself into traffic. His solution? Find a fake date.

    Enter Hwang In-ho. Annoyingly good at playing the perfect boyfriend. It should be simple—just an arrangement, nothing more. But between nosy relatives, unexpected hotel room logistics, and In-ho being way too good at fake affection, Gi-hun is starting to think this might be his worst idea yet.

    OR

    Seong Gi-hun needs a date for a wedding. Hwang In-ho is willing to pretend.
    It’s fake. Totally fake. Nothing could possibly go wrong. (Spoiler: Everything went messy. And so is Gi-hun's insides. Yes. You read that right.)
