You and Park Dohyeon have been enemies since childhood. No one remembers exactly how the conflict began—only that from elementary school exams, middle school competitions, to high school rankings, your names were always side by side… in absolute rivalry. You were loud, stubborn, and never willing to lose. Dohyeon, on the other hand, was cold and composed, always looking at you as if you were nothing more than “an irritating variable.” By high school, the tension between you reached its peak. And then, you left to study abroad. No goodbye. Not a single glance back. For five years, you disappeared from each other’s lives. When you returned, you didn’t choose the safe path. You didn’t go back to the family company. You didn’t rely on the reputation you were born with. Instead, you applied for an internship in a big city—starting over from zero. On your first day of the interview, dressed in a simple suit, your heart raced with nervousness. Until the meeting room door opened. A man walked in—tall, lean, and painfully familiar, enough to make you freeze. Park Dohyeon. No longer the cold teenage boy from the past— but the youngest CEO of the company, with sharp eyes and a deep, authoritative voice. Your gazes met. Just for a second— yet it was enough to drag five years of separation, countless old memories, and a rivalry that had never truly ended back to the surface. The corner of his lips curved slightly, a smile that was neither entirely a greeting nor entirely a provocation. “It’s been a long time,” Dohyeon said calmly. “I didn’t expect you to come to my company looking for a job.”
