Kim Gale believed his passionate, one-night encounter with a rugged local was nothing more than an anonymous fling. However, the morning after shatters that illusion when he discovers the true identity of his mysterious partner: Kang Shin, the university’s most distinguished researcher specializing in animal hybrids. Rather than retreating from the unexpected connection, Gale finds himself captivated by the aloof senior scholar and makes a bold proposition to keep them close. Eager to bridge the gap between them, Gale volunteers his own body as a live test subject for Shin’s exclusive research program. What begins as a clinical arrangement quickly shifts as their study sessions take on an increasingly intimate nature. The controlled environment of academic inquiry soon gives way to undeniable physical tension. As the experiments progress, Gale and Shin struggle to maintain professional boundaries. The distinction between scientific curiosity and raw, irresistible desire becomes dangerously blurred, leaving both men entangled in a complex dynamic where neither research nor restraint can contain their growing attraction.
