A Love That Waits

The 70s

Ellisa grew up as an outsider, an orphan who never knew the warmth of a home until she was welcomed into the golden light of the Kim estate. In her new brother, Taehyung, she finds her greatest protector and her most loyal friend. But the peace of their childhood is shattered by the arrival of a girl with cat-like eyes-Ruby Kim.

As they grow, Ellisa realizes that her fascination with Ruby isn't just friendship, and she isn't the only one captured by Ruby's light. Taehyung, the brother who promised to never let her cry, becomes her greatest rival in love. It is the beginning of a devastating pattern-a soul-bond triangle that has repeated across the ages.
