synopsis

Park Minji thought managing her own complicated life was difficult, but things take a dramatic turn when she and Ni-ki decide to become amateur matchmakers.

As they navigate their own unresolved issues—Minji’s struggle with the pain of her past and Ni-ki’s pressure from his family—they find themselves entangled in their friends' romantic dilemmas.

Ni-ki is determined to heal together with Minji, believing that helping others might be the key to mending their own wounds. However, each attempt to fix their friends' relationships only brings their own love and struggles into sharper focus.

As their personal challenges collide with their matchmaking efforts, Minji and Ni-ki must confront their own vulnerabilities.

Will they find a way to heal and strengthen their bond, or will the weight of their issues and the chaos they create threaten their quest for happiness?

short peek

I staggered into Ni-ki’s room, my head spinning from the endless rounds of drinks. Ni-ki was already sitting on his bed, watching me with a mixture of amusement and concern.

“Wow, grumps, you’re a hot mess tonight,” he said, barely containing his laughter as he helped me flop onto the bed.

I flopped dramatically, groaning. “Yeah, well, I’m just trying to forget, you annoying boy. Turns out drowning my sorrows in vodka doesn’t erase the fact that I lost my family.”

Ni-ki’s smile faded, and he sat beside me with a more serious look. “Hey, babe, you don’t have to pretend like everything’s fine. I can tell something’s been eating at you.”

I rolled my eyes, the alcohol making my words tumble out. “It’s just... I thought if I partied hard enough, I could forget the pain. But it’s still there, like an annoying shadow that never goes away.”

Ni-ki’s gaze softened as he gently squeezed my hand. “You don’t need to go through this alone, babe. I’m here, even if you’re a total mess.”

I chuckled weakly and snuggled closer to him. “Thanks, monkey baby. You’re the only one who can handle my crazy.”

He wrapped his arm around me, a tender smile playing on his lips. “And you’re my grumpy, crazy babe. That’s why I’m here.”

We lay together, his warmth enveloping me as we both laughed off our worries.

In this quiet, cocooned moment with Ni-ki, the world outside felt a little less heavy, and for now, it was just the two of us, tangled in each other’s presence.
