    This sweet romance novel is absolutely addictive! The male lead is a total heartbreaker; every line like "We're gone" and "The little kid isn't eating properly" is so swoon-worthy, even his teasing is incredibly charming! The scenes like "catching the little rascal who doesn't recognize you after pulling up his pants" are full of ambiguous and suspenseful tension! I highly recommend it; if you don't like it, come find me! I've already reread it countless times and can't stop!

    A newbie seeking attention: a normal CEO, not domineering but very gentlemanly, no stomach problems, no "white moonlight" (idealized love interest), and he even delivers takeout (actually just a little trick to get closer to the female lead). Aside from being a bit of a germaphobe and unable to cook, he doesn't have any typical CEO quirks. After turning into a dog, he becomes very affectionate.
