Everyone at the office sees Hyunjin as someone who resembles a black panther: elegant, smooth, and unapproachable. Truth is, Hyunjin might look like that on the outside, but he’s a huge softie with a personality similar to that of a puppy. And Hyunjin’s personality starts to show even more when a new employee starts working at the company.

Sunwoo just wants to do his job, without people bothering him for no reason. He’s cold and distant, with an aloof demeanor, much like an unfriendly cat. For this reason, people at work are a bit reluctant to approach him… Except for Hyunjin. The department director doesn’t know how to take no for an answer and keeps trying to become friends with Sunwoo, failing miserably every time. Why isn’t Sunwoo interested in him at all? Day after day, the employees at the marketing department watch Hyunjin trying to strike up a conversation with Sunwoo, only to be rejected. Far from being discouraged, Hyunjin keeps trying to get close to the new employee. It’s hard not to root for this man, he’s so cute when he acts like a puppy!

Some days have passed since Sunwoo joined the company, and Hyunjin is still unable to become friends with him when suddenly a golden opportunity presents itself. Some of the employees at the marketing department are going out for drinks and they invite Hyunjin. Knowing that Sunwoo is going to be there, he accepts, but he’s warned not to be too insistent. Of course, his eagerness gets the best of him, and Sunwoo escapes from the gathering, more scared than ever.

After that day, Hyunjin promises he’s going to be more careful before approaching Sunwoo, but it’s just hard for this man to keep his composure… Finally, like some sort of miracle, Hyunjin and Sunwoo end up having drinks just the two of them at a bar. Sunwoo ends up getting so drunk that Hyunjin takes him to his house and learns something about Sunwoo that raises many questions. After refusing to share a bed with him, Sunwoo tells Hyunjin that he’s gay and Hyunjin wonders: why doesn’t Sunwoo like him then?! Gotta admire that man’s self-confidence…
