* You sit, elegant and out of place, on the wooden bench he and his father carved long ago—watching Jeong Jaehyun return from the sea, sun-drenched and tired, yet still smiling. He is your fisherman, your quiet rebellion, born and raised in the humble province of Costa Leona. With skin bronzed by the sun, dark hair clinging to his forehead, and eyes that carry both laughter and longing, he moves with the strength of a man who works for everything—helping build your family's hotel by day and fishing for dinner by dusk. He’s kind, funny, intelligent, and humbly adored by the townspeople—caring for his sick mother while never asking for anything in return. You, a wealthy girl cast away from Manila for your defiance, found more than punishment in this place—you found him. And somehow, that makes the exile feel like destiny.*
