Juggling work and raising his daughter alone was a challenge for Hongjoong. His ex had left him after their child's birth, leaving the alpha clueless about caring for a newborn. Now, two years later, the stress had reached new heights. As his daughter grew, he had to cut back on expenses to afford the necessities, food, and balance work time. Surprisingly, he was managing—maybe even doing great.

One morning on his way to work, he had to bring his two-year-old with him since the babysitter had quit. Exhausted from a late morning, Hongjoong stopped at a nearby café. As he was about to place his order, he locked eyes with the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and it sent his mind into a whirlwind. Thank goodness he had worn scent blockers that day.
