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.

Two hours went by in the art studio, but it didn't seem that long since Kyunghee found herself enjoying the time spent with Minji. At Minji's request, Kyunghee became her living model. Under Minji's instruction, Kyunghee sat down in couch while Minji sat across from her behind an easel and sketched.

Having never been someone's art model, Kyunghee was uncomfortable at first since she wasn't sure what kind of pose she was supposed to make. However, Minji told her just to relax and be herself, pretend as if she wasn't modelling. Yet those words of advice made Kyunghee even more self-conscious that someone was drawing her portrait. To help distract Kyunghee and make her less stiff, Minji began talking about everything under the sun while her fingers worked hard against the canvas. Eventually their conversations and laughter managed to distract Kyunghee.

"No way!?" Kyunghee spluttered in disbelief. "Sangmin actually did that?"
