"I love you is overrated. Can you be the Blue to my Storm instead?" *** All his life Lee Sung-Hoon has known fear----fear of his mother, vulnerability, and losing that tiny, fragile balance he calls freedom. When his controlling mother demands he bring a date to his best friend's sister's wedding or kiss his allowances goodbye, desperation drives him to seek his best friend's aid. Together, they rope in Kim-Cheon-sa, affectionately nicknamed Blue, who agrees to be Sung-Hoon's fake girlfriend in exchange for dumplings. What starts as a simple ruse spirals into something more that neither of them expected. As Sung-Hoon and Blue navigate meddling relatives, forced proximity, and tender moments that are too difficult to ignore, the lines between pretense and real blur. Sung-Hoon slowly unearths emotions he buried for years like a blooming lotus on a warm summer day as Cheon-sa becomes his sheer reason for existence. But when his mother discovers their secret, she plans a new scheme and forces her son into an arranged marriage. With skyrocketing stakes, emotions at an all-time high, and a one-week countdown till the wedding, Sung-Hoon must decide to choose between his comfort zone---living a life filled with fear and helplessness and risking everything for the woman who gave him the taste of love and freedom. *** The rewritten version of SARANG BOOK 1 of the SARANG series Start: January 17, 2025 End: January 17, 2025
