Your romantic experiences have felt like an endless cycle of disappointment. The real issue lay with those around you—too many were unremarkable, lacking depth, or simply unable to engage you on a meaningful level. The monotony of it all became exhausting. Despite your friends’ best attempts to set you up and the constant influx of admirers vying for your attention, each date often felt more like a diversion than a genuine connection.

Little did you know, the conclusion of your journey would intertwine with Jisung, a secretive cupid. Chosen by God, he roamed among humans, silently uniting soul mates. With dedication, Jisung embraced his celestial role, fulfilling his heavenly mission with pride. However, a fellow neighbor had unintentionally misdirected their arrow, throwing his carefully ordered world into chaos the moment you entered his sphere. As Jisung invisibly shadowed you through your days, a forbidden transformation quietly took hold of him. For the first time, he experienced the essence of love—not just as an observer but as someone profoundly affected by it. Yet, the rules were stringent: cupids were tasked with nurturing love for others, but never allowed to embrace it themselves.

On one hand, he could give in to his feelings and face severe consequences, or on the other, he could deny himself and complete his mission on Earth. Ultimately, he felt he had no choice. Once he discovered that you were his soulmate, he forced himself to abandon the life he was meant to live. Expelled from heaven, he lost his wings and immortality, becoming a mortal. Now, he struggled to learn how to live like a human and, of course, to win your heart; otherwise, everything he had sacrificed would have been in vain.

You always liked how your boyfriend, whom you met after he started working at the same café as you, seemed to know everything about you from the start. You often laughed at his jokes about being a cupid. However, when you finally realized that his comments weren’t just jokes, your world turned upside down.
