Summary
“I would like to hire you for a regular job.” Over the phone, Seonghwa sounds polite and firm.
He goes on explaining the details of what he wants: someone to hang out with him every week for two hours, to accompany him to the movies or museums sometimes, someone who’d remember his birthday and get him a thoughtful gift (he’d deposit extra money for the occasion), to share a few of his interests. He wants a friend. A friend.

[ hongjoong, a college student, works as a friend for rent to make ends meet, and seonghwa, a very lonely man, hires him to emulate what he believes to be a normal friendship. ]

Summary
For most, weddings are a culmination of love, a pure-hearted declaration of unwieldy commitment—hence why Wooyoung truly believes in their sanctity, undeterred even by the reality of being a wedding planner.
When San, his rich chaebol client, asks him to guide him in his exploration of the world before he ties the knot, however... Wooyoung finds much more joy and satisfaction than that of a job well done.

Summary
“Are you sure Yeosang’s friend is cool with a complete stranger moving in?” San asked.
“Oh, for sure! We discussed it with him and he’s more than happy. He’s really outgoing, friendly, loves meeting new people! Plus, you might not actually be strangers come to think of it…” Jongho muttered.
“What do you mean?”
“Apparently, he went to your school. His family moved around a lot, so he was only there for a few months, and I know your school was rather big, so you might not have even crossed paths all that much. He didn’t seem to have any recollection of you when I mentioned it. But you’re the same age, so he would have been in your year!” Jongho explained.
“Well, what’s his name?” San asked, genuinely curious about whether or not he’d remember him.
“Jung Wooyoung” Jongho replied.
San's blood ran cold.
Jung Wooyoung, the sweet, cheerful, sensitive boy who had joined his school back when he was fifteen. The boy with no friends, the boy who was an easy target. The boy who was spat on, kicked, punched, slapped, and called every disgusting name under the sun. Wooyoung had been tormented non-stop in the few months he had attended that school, and San had been the reason why.

Summary
Hongjoong's jaw went slack.
Now that was not fair.
From the prominent cheekbones to the full lips to the immaculately groomed eyebrows, the Man (for this was no ordinary man, this was a Man) was quite possibly the most attractive human Hongjoong had ever laid eyes upon. And when he noticed Hongjoong standing there gawking, his mouth stretched into a blinding, 1000-kilowatt smile and he raised his hand into a wave. Hongjoong thought he just about might pass out and join old Maggie in the clouds.
For some inexplicable reason, this irritated him beyond belief.
Or: Hongjoong's new neighbour is a gift sent from heaven and Hongjoong's little gay heart can't handle it.
("But I don't like him, I swear!")
