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.

Her eyes stopped on Minji and Sangmin who appeared to be in some sort of secretive conversation. Detective Hothead was surprisingly not at the table. She turned her eyes away, thought about it for a moment before resolving on a story, "With a couple of people from work. We're just grabbing some late-night snacks."
