Minji and Minho shared a bond that was impossible to ignore as children, but life pulled them in different directions. After fifteen years apart, fate brings them back together under unexpected circumstances. Minji, now a successful fashion designer, finds herself in a meeting with none other than Minho—the CEO of a prominent company, and the boy who once made her heart race with the simplest of gestures.

But the years between them have created a distance that neither knows how to bridge. Minji’s been busy building a career, leaving the past behind, but when Minho walks back into her life, old feelings resurface—feelings she’s spent years trying to suppress. Minho, now a powerful and enigmatic businessman, has never forgotten Minji, the girl who once captured his heart with her kindness and grace. Though he’s achieved everything he ever wanted, he’s never quite moved on from her.

As they work together on a high-profile collaboration, the lines between business and personal blur. There’s a magnetic pull between them, one that neither can deny. But with both of them carrying scars from the past, they must decide if love can be rekindled or if the years of separation have changed them too much to ever return to what they once had.

In this second-chance romance, Minji and Minho must navigate the complexities of their newfound relationship while balancing their careers, ambitions, and the weight of their shared history. Will the love they once had be enough to overcome the distance of time, or will it be lost forever?
