Looking for a Man to Use as a Reference

Baek Seo is a famous Korean BL comic artist, but lately his career has hit a rough patch.

Reader feedback: The art is great, but it's hard to feel immersed.

Baek Seo refuses to accept it.

He decides to find a man to use as a reference.

So, at an upscale private nightclub.

Baek Seo sits in the best seat, with two handsome, well-built escorts standing below him.

"You, get on your knees."

"You, take off your clothes and hold his waist. Make it more intimate. Imagine he's your partner. Good, keep that smoldering look in your eyes."

At this, Li Li glances at his colleague, who raises an eyebrow beside him.

By day, Li Li is a self-controlled CEO. By night, he's a lover in the world of nightlife.

With his looks and his physique, Li Li is never short of people throwing themselves at him.

He thought Baek Seo was one of them.

Who knew the man would spend a fortune just to have him and his colleague strike a few "simple" poses?

At first, Li Li thinks it's some unusual request from a client.

Only later does he realize Baek Seo really does just want a reference.

The charm he's always been proud of seems to be less useful to this man than a plaster statue.

Even more unbelievable...

Baek Seo is not only a regular client, but also the most profitable comic artist under Li Li's company.

Li Li has never had a client this difficult to please.

And this one has money to spare.

So he begins seriously considering a question:

Does Baek Seo really not want to sleep with him, or does he think Li Li isn't good enough?

Baek Seo is seriously considering another question, too:

This model has been getting less and less cooperative lately. Should I find someone else?

.

Until one day, in a certain person's bedroom.

"Mr. Li, please don't stand so close to me while we're working."

Li Li glances at the absent partner and at his own abs, which are about to burst out of his shirt, then licks his lips.

"Teacher Baek, how about you try experiencing this immersion for yourself?"
