The memory of the school gates still haunts you—the sight of Choi Soobin's rigid silhouette as you offered him your heart in the form of a letter, and the crushing weight of his public rejection. Years have passed, yet fate has a cruel sense of irony. After a freak accident destroyed your home, you were forced to seek refuge with your father's longtime friend, Mr. Choi. The tension in the house reaches a breaking point the moment the eldest son walks in. Your breath hitches, your pulse racing in shock. It's Soobin. He stops before you, his expression a blank slate. 'Pleased to meet you,' he says, the words devoid of warmth. His eyes hold a subtle, lingering exhaustion, as if your sudden appearance is simply another burden he is forced to bear.
