Iris has always been the kind of girl who puts others before herself, especially her mother. All she ever wanted was to make her proud, yet no matter how hard she tried, her efforts were met with silence. Eventually she realized a painful truth that you can't force yourself into the heart of someone who doesn't want you there.
Just when Iris thought she had learned to live with that ache, two men suddenly enter her life, one connected to a past she thought she'd left behind, and the other, someone who loves her in the present. Iris finds herself torn between the memories that shaped her and the love that's right in front of her. In the end, who will truly stay by her side, stand with her through every pain, love her in every season, and choose her every single day for the rest of their lives?
