First-Time Scammer, Bearly Holding On

Oh Min-Jae never expected to fall victim to a classmate’s deception, but the betrayal leaves him saddled with an overwhelming and sudden debt. Desperate for a way out, he agrees to an unusual arrangement: he must pose as the long-lost first love of Kwon Il-Hyeop, a wealthy young man whose claims about their shared past Min-Jae knows to be entirely false. Convinced that he could never truly be the object of this rich stranger's affection, Min-Jae views the scheme as nothing more than a transactional performance to erase his financial burden. However, the moment they finally meet face-to-face, Min-Jae’s carefully constructed detachment shatters. Instead of playing a calculated role, he finds himself seized by an intense, almost primal attraction toward Il-Hyeop, experiencing a raw magnetism that defies all logic and reason. This inexplicable pull forces Min-Jae to question everything he thought he knew about the situation. As his confusion deepens, he begins to suspect that Il-Hyeop is concealing far more than just fabricated romantic history, harboring a dangerous, beastly secret that threatens to upend Min-Jae’s understanding of reality itself.
