“Now I’m even more curious about her. I need to arrange a meeting that looks like a coincidence. Let’s see what happens.”
Yoon Jinha appears before Min Jaehyuk, the director of a rival hotel, and Kim Juwon. Though she seems proud and unyielding, beneath her tough exterior, she’s incredibly fragile. Who will be the man to wipe away her tears?
A man who can’t trust women, and another who, thanks to his accomplished mother, believes he’s unworthy of love. Between them, a woman whose very presence draws them in like instinct, yet one of them harbors a fatal secret.
“Did you think I was just like those other women?”
“No… I didn’t.”
He hadn’t. He regretted it endlessly—regretted ever letting her in.
For Kim Juwon, that night was an accident—one that changed him forever. The belief that all women were the same shattered, and in its place was a woman who gripped his heart like a lie.
But Min Jaehyuk also wants Yoon Jinha for himself.
“Mother…!”
He can only cry out in anguish, clutching his chest, because Yoon Jinha can never truly be his.
“Would it be a sin for someone like me to have you?”
What’s so wrong about being an orphan? He has everything, yet she insists she can never belong to him. But slowly, she begins to open her heart.
“Don’t ever suffer alone again.”
