    "And if we just act natural, they'll believe anything. It's not like anyone's going to ask for proof—" The younger pauses mid-sentence, holding up a palm.

    "This feels like a sugar daddy situation.”

    Hanbin offers to fake date Hao in exchange for housing and care. It quickly spirals into something neither of them planned—real feelings, stolen moments, and co-parenting a puppy.
