Love Me, Animal

Since they first met at seventeen, Mun-Gyeol has harbored a quiet, unwavering affection for his close friend Do-Ije. Now twenty-two, he keeps these feelings carefully concealed, terrified that a confession might feel like a betrayal to the man he cares about most. However, when an unexpected issue forces him out of his own apartment, Mun-Gyeol has no choice but to seek refuge at Do-Ije’s home. Hoping to maintain his boundaries, he asks to sleep in the study, but Do-Ije casually insists they share a bed instead, completely oblivious to the emotional turmoil this causes. Like a creature instinctively seeking warmth, Do-Ije draws dangerously close, enveloping Mun-Gyeol in mysterious pheromones that seem designed to ward off anyone else from approaching him. The fragile restraint Mun-Gyeol has built over five years shatters entirely when Do-Ije suddenly enters heat. Driven by primal urges, Do-Ije awakens deep instincts within Mun-Gyeol that are nearly impossible to resist, bluntly confessing his raw desire. Caught between years of hidden longing and overwhelming biological compulsion, Mun-Gyeol is left desperate to uncover the true meaning behind Do-Ije’s intoxicating actions.
