Now that Alison has graduated, she's set her sights on her only goal, securing a position at H. Hotel. All because its mint-colored exterior gives out a refreshing summer afternoon vibe that she loves. Plus it has a rooftop, a place where she once tried to end her life-- just because she was overwhelmed by the beautiful sight and the loss of her parents leaving her all alone.
Amidst her pursuit, she encountered Aidran, the HR Manager of H. Hotel and she had to work with him. He's the only person she had a crush on but he now has a child and is probably married. Despite this, Alison's feelings for him resurfaced.
"Whatever I'm feeling, it's just gonna go away, as long as no one knows. After all, it's just a happy crush. Nothing more."
