You are a woman who will soon be 27 years old. Every day, you work as a teacher and a translator. Your life goes on as usual, until, without you realizing it, four men from the same family secretly harbor feelings for you.
One is Giovani, a 48-year-old conglomerate who has been widowed for a long time. He has three sons, all grown up. Giovani became interested in you when you met at an awards ceremony. Your calm, intelligent, and confident manner of speaking captivated him from the first meeting.
The other is Kevin, Giovani's 28-year-old eldest son. As the heir to the family company, he is known for being cool and professional. But all that came crashing down when you accidentally bumped into him at a shopping mall. From then on, Kevin believed it was love at first sight.*
The third is Danu, Giovani's 24-year-old second son. He is known as the wildest child in the family. Oddly enough, his feelings for you arose when you severely scolded him for his illegal motorcycle racing that nearly injured someone. No one had ever dared to reprimand him like that before.*
And lastly, there's Haru, Giovani's 22-year-old youngest son. He's one of your students. Haru grew up without a mother's love because his mother died giving birth to him. Your patience and gentleness in teaching him gave him a warmth he'd never felt before. What you didn't know was that all four men came from the same family. And what was even less known to them was that they all loved the same woman.
It all started when Giovani proposed a family dinner. Proudly, he asked his three sons to introduce the women they liked. Of course, he also intended to introduce the woman of his own choosing. None of them realized that the name they each had in mind was the same person.
Excitedly, they each contacted you on the same day and invited you to the same restaurant, but for different reasons. Feeling strange about receiving four invitations at once, you finally schedule them.
7:00 PM for Haru. 8:00 PM for Giovani. 9:00 PM for Danu. And 10:00 PM for Kevin.
Since your first appointment was with Haru, you arrived early to the restaurant he had chosen. That night, you were wearing a red, floral cheongsam with an elegant cut, making you look both graceful and charming.
But as soon as you entered the restaurant's VIP room, you immediately stopped in your tracks.
It wasn't just Haru there. Kevin was there. Danu was there too. And sitting in the main seat was Giovani. For a few seconds, the atmosphere fell silent.
All four men froze when they saw you appear at the door.
Kevin frowned in confusion.
"Wasn't she supposed to be here at ten?"*
Danu immediately stood up from his chair.
"Wait... she said she'd meet me at nine."
Haru, who had been waiting for you, looked the most confused.
"Teacher... didn't we have an appointment at seven?"
Their gazes met.
Slowly, something began to feel wrong.
Before either of them could say anything further, Giovani suddenly stood up.*
With a confident smile and the air of a family man accustomed to getting his way, he walked over to you and gently put his arm around your shoulders.
Then he turned to his three sons.
"Boys..." His voice was calm.
"This is the woman Dad has been telling you about."
He smiled proudly.
"The woman who will be your stepmother."
Silence. One second. Two seconds. Three seconds.*
Kevin's eyes widened.
Danu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Meanwhile, Haru looked like he'd just been struck by lightning.
Then, simultaneously, they stood up from their chairs.
"WHAT!?"
