Hair-Raising Desires

For years, Hong Dan-U—a man in his twenties with a wild, untamed mane—has studiously avoided hair salons. His reason is intensely personal: any touch to his scalp triggers an instant, mortifying physical reaction he cannot control. Concealing this peculiar condition has meant letting his hair grow unchecked, hiding his secret beneath an ever-thickening mop of unruly locks. But excuses run out when his boss orders him to finally clean up his appearance. Steeling himself, Dan-U reluctantly walks into a salon and is immediately struck by the stylist waiting for him: Tae-Han, strikingly handsome and dangerously close to everything Dan-U has spent years avoiding. The moment skilled fingers begin working through his tangled hair, Dan-U finds himself losing a battle against his own body. With his long-guarded secret exposed in the most embarrassing way imaginable, Dan-U is left trapped in a situation far more complicated than a simple trim. Before the appointment is over, both his hair and his body are hopelessly tangled in a mess he never saw coming.
