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.

Even so, Jiwon should have known better and kept her hands off Kyunghee.

Unbuckling his belt, he angled his body toward her, reaching across the center console to lightly touch her shoulder.
