What Could've Been「SaiDa AU」

Sana Minatozaki is the corporate ice queen of Japan. The unloving, unknowing child prodigy of the business world shackled by her childhood and family. She was numb in all ways possible, until she met Kim Dahyun. A naive, provincial girl with a tattered past studying under a scholarship program the Minatozaki Clan sponsors. Being Sana's lover took a lot more than seeing through her facade of business ethics. Dahyun was chained the same way Sana was when they got involved.

Eventually, their relationship fell apart when Sana left the country without a single goodbye, leaving her lover in the shadows and selectively erasing their memories together, as if it was nothing but a temporary fantasy, an escape from her responsibilities.

After 5 years, they reunite through odd coincidences and complications. Will Sana be able to tell Dahyun the whole story, or will she keep pretending, hiding from a feeling she despised? The feeling of being loved. What will become of these star-crossed lovers? Is their story doomed and taken to the grave, or will it live to break away the chains and thorns that have been tormenting a certain Sana Minatozaki from her childhood?
