Park Sunghoon had one job—matchmaking. As a peach fairy, he spent centuries ensuring people found their destined love. It was routine. Easy.

Until you.

You had been single for too long, messing up fate’s plan. So one morning, he appeared—tall, black curls slightly messy, pink sweater effortlessly stylish—lounging on your windowsill, eating a peach.

“You’ve been single for too long,” he said, watching you with mild amusement.

You blinked. “Who are you?”

“Park Sunghoon. Peach fairy. In charge of marriage. And you?” He sighed. “You’re overdue for love.”

And just like that, his carefully controlled world started to unravel.

Sunghoon should have known you would be difficult. You questioned everything. You turned down perfectly good candidates. And worse, you had the audacity to make him doubt his own judgment.

“This one’s perfect for you,” he had said about a charming childhood friend.

You tilted your head. “Too predictable.”

“Fine. What about the CEO?”

“Too cold.”

“The artist?”

“Too flirty.”

Sunghoon ran a hand through his curls, exasperated. “You’re impossible.”

You just shrugged. “Or maybe I just haven’t met the right person.”

He scoffed. “That’s the problem. I’m literally here to find that person for you.”

But deep down, something twisted inside him. An unease he couldn’t quite name.

Then came Min-jae.

Handsome. Kind. A doctor. The perfect match.

Sunghoon forced a smile as you got ready. “This is it,” he said. “I finally did my job.”

You hesitated. “Yeah… I guess so.”

So why did it feel like he had just made the biggest mistake of his life?

You came home late. Too late.

Sunghoon didn’t wait for you like usual. Instead, he buried his face in your pillow and sulked.

Your scent surrounded him—familiar, comforting, wrong.

When had this changed? When had he changed?

He didn’t look up. “How was your date?”
