Mature Longing | Ju Jihoon

He had known her as a child. She came back as a woman. After years spent studying abroad, the Jeon family's only daughter returns home expecting nothing more than a quiet life surrounded by the people she had always known. But the familiar feels different when her father's closest friend is no longer just a trusted figure from her past.

What begins as innocent conversations and fleeting moments slowly gives way to an attraction neither of them expected - nor should ever entertain. In a world where every expectation tells them to stay apart, the years between them become both the very thing that separates them and the reason they can't seem to look away.
