Nine to Nine

Reuniting with a secret high school crush is complicated enough, but the stakes rise considerably when that person becomes your new boss. Kwon Na-Min has not seen Mr. Jeong since a fateful day during their school years when Jeong completely lost control of himself. Now thrust into a professional environment under his former classmate's authority, Na-Min finds himself navigating an unsettling mix of nostalgia and anxiety. He is left constantly wondering whether his new superior even remembers him, harbors resentment over their shared past, or perhaps feels something entirely different. The ambiguity of Mr. Jeong’s intentions makes every interaction a delicate balancing act. As their professional lives intertwine through demanding client dinners and extended business trips, the boundaries between their history and their present begin to blur. Forced proximity leaves Na-Min with nowhere to hide, compelling both men to confront the lingering tension between them. What starts as cautious workplace formality gradually gives way to revealing moments, suggesting that spending this much time together might finally expose the truth behind Mr. Jeong’s guarded demeanor—no matter how unexpected that reality turns out to be.
