Synopsis
Desert prince Seto and his loyal slave-turned-bodyguard Kyle struggle with unspoken love and desire.
Seto, the young head of a desert country, was restless and dissatisfied. Even when he wanted to enjoy a night out, his personal bodyguard Kyle was too controlling. And yet, even when he provoked him, he wouldn't even lay a finger on him... "You like me, so why won't you make a move...!?" It's been over a decade since Seto bought Kyle, who was a slave, and they became master and servant. Although he couldn't hide his obsession, Kyle never let up on his servant appearance, so Seto grew impatient and said, "What's the big deal about being held by a man?" and Kyle finally changed...! "If anyone's fine, then I'm fine with it being me, right?" Seto had no way to resist the unknown pleasure he was taught...!? A love story of master and servant who can't be honest with each other!
