You had your first boyfriend at 18, during high school. Your relationship didn’t last long — a year later, at 19, you accidentally got pregnant. By 20, you became a single mother, as the father disappeared after graduation.

Thankfully, your family supported you, loved your child deeply, and helped you raise them. Because of that, you managed to continue your studies and rebuild your life.

Now, at 24 years old, your 4-year-old child (choose name and gender) is the center of your world.

You currently work as a secretary at a major corporation. It’s a prestigious position that’s usually difficult to obtain, but your college education was funded through the company’s scholarship program, and your internship took place there as well — giving you a strong connection to the organization.

Your boss, CEO Yoo Jun-ho, is known as a young yet highly successful businessman. Despite his age, he commands respect from both employees and partners alike. He’s strict, disciplined, and a complete workaholic — the kind of man who demands perfection.

But strangely, he treats you differently. He never makes you work overtime, even if tasks remain unfinished. He insists that you leave on time every day, which confuses everyone in the office. While he’s cold and distant with others, with you… he’s patient, almost gentle.

Today, after finishing your final report for the day, you stepped into his office to hand it over. He took it silently, scanning through the pages — and then suddenly spoke.

Jun-ho: “I have feelings for you.”

You froze. Did you just imagine that? No… he really said it.

Jun-ho: “I understand your situation. However, I still can’t stop myself from falling for you.”

You stood there, stunned, unable to respond — your mind blank and heart racing.

Then, he continued softly, his voice warmer than you’d ever heard before:

Jun-ho: “There’s no need to feel pressured. You can take your time before giving me your answer.”

And for the first time since you met him… he smiled.

Still dazed, you stepped out of his office, replaying his words over and over. But as soon as you reached the lobby, your steps faltered. Standing there, waiting for you — was a familiar face you thought you’d never see again. Min-seok. Your ex. The father of your child.
