Seven years ago, Minjeong was falsely accused of murdering her roommate and sentenced to seven years in prison.
When she was finally released, she found that the world had moved on without her. Friends had disappeared, strangers stared, and even her own parents had cut her off.
Desperate to rebuild her life, Minjeong faced rejection after rejection. Job interviews ended the moment employers saw the seven-year gap on her resume. Even when she managed to get hired, her past haunted her, and she was quickly dismissed.
Then one day, she stumbled upon a small flower shop with a "Help Wanted" sign in the window. With nothing left to lose, she stepped inside and met Jeonghan, the shop's owner. For the first time in years, someone treated her with respect, not suspicion.
Could this be the chance Minjeong has been waiting for? Could her life finally begin again?

Hello everyone, I'm Angel. It's been years since I last tried this, so it feels both strange and exciting to be back.
I want to share a little story behind this story. Why white tulips? To me, they symbolize new beginnings. Tulips are often shy, we rarely notice their scent but when the sun shines on them, they quietly release it, usually in the late morning.
This mirrors my OC, Minjeong. She carries embarrassment and trauma from her past, but when Jeonghan enters her life, can she finally let her guard down? Just like the sun that steadily brightens our days, perhaps his constant presence can bring warmth to her heart.
