Once Upon a Deal

Ju Yun-Seong believed that securing a position at JH Soft would mark the beginning of a standard corporate career. However, his expectations were shattered when he realized that Baek Ha-Jin, the company’s cold and intimidating CEO, glared at him during every encounter. Plagued by anxiety over whether he had committed an error on his first day, Yun-Seong attempted to remain inconspicuous and avoid his superior entirely. His efforts to stay under the radar ended when he discovered a mysterious employee ID, revealing a shocking truth: his boss is not merely intense, but a nine-tailed fox. The situation escalated further when Ha-Jin’s fox bead became lodged within Yun-Seong’s body. Now inseparable from the CEO, Yun-Seong finds his normal life completely upended. Ha-Jin presents him with a stark ultimatum: remain close and obey every command, or face surgical removal of the bead. Faced with such extreme choices, Yun-Seong is left reeling from the absurdity of his new reality.
