Kang Jihoon

Seo Yuna had been back in the city for a while, but she hadn't expected her old life to catch up with her through work. At twenty-four, she worked at a growing company that had recently entered a major partnership with one of the biggest companies in the country. The CEO of that company was twenty-four-year-old Kang Jihoon. Yuna hadn't seen him since childhood. Back then, Jihoon had been the boy her father paid to keep an eye on her at school because of her unusual allergy to tears. He had accepted the job purely for the money and spent most of their childhood irritating her instead. His favorite nickname for her had been Crying Girl. Yuna hated it. She had eventually moved away, leaving the annoying boy behind. Now, years later, she was sitting in her office beside her best friend, Choi Ara, going through documents for the new partnership. Neither of them knew that the CEO they would soon be working with was the same boy from Yuna's childhood. Across the city, Jihoon was finishing a meeting when his assistant placed the partnership documents on his desk. He glanced through the list of employees assigned to the project. Then he saw one familiar name. Seo Yuna. Jihoon stared at it for a moment. A slow smile appeared on his face. Meanwhile, Yuna was completely unaware of what was waiting for her. She was far more concerned with getting through the project without losing her mind. And somewhere else in the city, Jihoon's cousin Kang Seojun was sitting at his usual convenience store table, repairing a laptop without having the slightest idea that his cousin's past was about to walk back into his life.
