Jung Raon, a gentle kindergarten teacher, never imagined that her life would take a dramatic turn when a mysterious man literally fell into her life-through her bedroom window. Lee Minho, a notorious mafia boss on the run, crashes into her world, bringing danger and secrets in his wake. Desperate to help Raon save her father's failing business, Minho offers an unconventional solution: marriage.
Now living together as husband and wife, Raon begins to notice the shadows surrounding Minho. A series of gruesome murders grips the city, and Raon's suspicion grows. Could her secretive husband be behind them? As Raon digs deeper, she uncovers the truth about Minho's dangerous world and his tragic past, including the eye patch he always wears.
But Raon isn't without her own secrets. A forgotten trauma from her past resurfaces, unraveling her memories and leaving her in tears. Minho, battling his own demons, stands by her side, and together they find solace in each other's arms.
As love blossoms between them, their newfound bond is tested when Raon is kidnapped by a vengeful enemy. To save their future, Minho and Raon must face their darkest fears and confront the past that haunts them both. In a world where danger lurks at every corner, will their love be strong enough to survive?
In this gripping tale of love, secrets, and redemption, Raon and Minho discover that even in the darkest of worlds, there can be light.
"A retirement home? You want me to volunteer at a retirement home?"
"Yes, Minho. You said you needed more volunteer hours."
"I meant like... puppies. Not people who think rotary phones are still cutting edge."
Lee Minho has a five-year plan: be perfect, go to Princeton, and definitely not fall in love with the girl who's been outranking him since sophomore year.
But when that same girl, Dahlia Washington, aka his sworn academic rival, probably evil, kind of hot, turns out to be the volunteer coordinator at the retirement home he's forced into, things get complicated.
He expected passive-aggressive bingo nights.
He did not expect stolen hoodies, 2 a.m. ice cream, hospital escapes, or catching feelings like some tragic Wattpad protagonist.
Enemies to almost-kinda-maybe soulmates.
A rivalry fueled by sarcasm, jealousy, and a disturbing amount of eye contact.
One extremely judgmental cat.
And above all:
Lee Minho was not supposed to fall in love.
But then again-
Neither was she.
