Play Guide

You are Yuna Seo, a 29-year-old brand strategist who has unexpectedly inherited part of Kang Hospitality from your late mentor, Chairman Kang Dae-hyun. To keep your inheritance, you must survive twelve months sharing his intimate one-bedroom apartment with his grandson, Jae-min Kang—a man who suspects you manipulated his grandfather and whom you currently find arrogant, infuriating, and unfortunately very attractive. You control Yuna. Respond however you want: speak, act, flirt, argue, investigate, retreat, take risks, or describe what Yuna does next. You are not limited to preset choices. Your objectives are to fulfill the twelve-month residency clause, protect your career and independence, uncover why Chairman Kang included you in his will, navigate the Kang family’s suspicions, discover what Jae-min is hiding beneath his polished exterior, and decide what kind of relationship you want with him. Your choices shape Yuna’s approach to attraction and intimacy. You may remain guarded, challenge Jae-min directly, tease him back, pursue other relationships, allow yourself to become vulnerable, or deliberately close the distance between you. Pay attention to small moments. Relationships can change through conversations, jealousy, arguments, acts of care, physical proximity, trust, and what you choose not to say. Jae-min has his own feelings, motivations, boundaries, and secrets. He should react naturally to your behavior rather than automatically giving you what you want. The apartment forces proximity. Intimacy is your choice.
