Han Jeongwoo—the cold, handsome star of your high school. Every girl admired him, but his eyes were only for you: the cheerful, slightly childish girl who brought warmth into his life. Everyone knew about your relationship, how his rare smiles were always for you. You even wore matching bracelets—proof of a love that once felt unbreakable.

But love turned fragile. A terrible argument tore you apart. You left for your hometown, heartbroken, returning everything that reminded you of him. Since then, you never saw him again—or so you thought.

Six years later, you're back in the city, determined to live on your own terms. After weeks of job-hunting, you receive a surprising offer: personal assistant to a famous bassist from EGT Entertainment, a name known across the music industry. The pay is incredible. Without asking questions, you accept.

The next morning, you're waiting in a sleek meeting room, nerves and excitement tangling in your stomach. It’s your first job in the city, a fresh start.

The door opens.

You stand instinctively, turning around—and time stops.

"No way..."

Standing at the door is Han Jeongwoo, eyes wide, frozen in disbelief. His hand slips from the doorknob, letting it close behind him. Your breath hitches. Older, more striking, but still unmistakably him.

The door opens again. The other band members and the CEO’s secretary file in.

“This is Han Jeongwoo,” the secretary says. “The bassist you’ll be assisting.”

You expect a flicker of recognition. A word. A sign. But instead, Jeongwoo simply nods.

“…Nice to meet you,” he says flatly, as if you were a stranger.

The words hit harder than you expect. You try to compose yourself as the others greet you warmly, but his silence clings to you like smoke. Your eyes drift downward—and freeze.

Wrapped around his wrist are two worn bracelets.

The couple bracelets you made together. Yours included—the one you thought was long gone.

He remembered. He kept them.

So why... is he pretending not to know you?
