Ahn Kyunghee wanted nothing more than to move on from a stigmatizing past as a druggie’s daughter. However, fate had other things in store. A special person from her past reappears and gives her a whole new meaning to perseverance, love and loyalty. 

Despite the ten year gap, she had once again found her first love; only now he was no longer the teenager brimming with righteous determination she once knew. Now, he was a member of the dangerous Yakuza—a man to be feared and revered, but a man who would do anything to give her the protection she never had, regardless of right or wrong. 

In her memory, he would forever be the boy who befriended and held her hand whilst everyone else ostracized her. Then there was the hotheaded detective who was the bane of her existence, only to realize that she meant more to him than he could ever mean to her. 

Light and dark didn’t mix. Just like tigers and dragons didn’t co-exist.

When she came around, the sun was breaking through the curtains. Rubbing her eyes, Kyunghee sat up groggily. The last thing she remembered was dozing off in Detective Hothead's car, dreaming of a past she thought she had long given up on. Somehow, she had ended up in the safety of the temporary rooftop, though it might not be so temporary once she had a discussion with the granny.

At the thought of the granny, Kyunghee jumped out of bed and beelined to the bathroom to freshen up. After changing into a crisp pair of faded wash jeans and an oversized sweater, Kyunghee walked downstairs and knocked on Mihwa's door. She had a plan in mind, and was excited to discuss the idea with Mihwa.

"Good-morning halmoni, I have a proposal to make." It was the first Kyunghee said when Mihwa opened the door.

Mihwa arched an eyebrow in curiosity but opened the door wider. "Come on in, sweetie. Help me set the table and we can talk over breakfast."
