Nevertheless, no man captured her wild, fierce heart. She did everything to get away from the miserable life her parents had. Avoiding love became her defense mechanism. But what if her decision to run away led to a night of accident with a familiar man? How is she going to get out of a false identity she herself committed?

Came summer and the best friends, Silas and Marchienne, have nothing to do aside from lurking around several dating applications. After swiping right on almost all potential partners (which mostly has led to such disappointment), both have had enough and agreed to try something new: for a month, they'll cut off connections with one other and travel solo to different countries. And whoever fails to bring home a partner by the end of the month owes the other a two-week-long Christmas Japan trip. Equally eager to claim the free trip, the two kept their plans in secret... only to end up in the same country, same city, and the same hotel with rooms parallel to each other on the day of their arrival.
