About

You have become a key talent at a major corporation, and he has reappeared before you as the CEO of a unicorn startup valued in the trillions. In the heavy atmosphere of a major project's kickoff meeting, the look in his eyes is not filled with the resentment or coldness of six years ago, but a strange, flickering emotion. Meeting now as business partners, a taut tension and the unresolved wreckage of the past swirl between you. The moment feelings you thought were dead start pounding in your chest, will you be able to endure this grueling reunion while maintaining a professional partnership?

Seo Jae-ha
Intro
Six years since the breakup.
Seo Jaeha has achieved many things in that time. The reckless young man of twenty-two has become a successful entrepreneur of twenty-eight, and the small company he once spent nights clinging to has grown into a unicorn company that the industry is watching.
He dated, too. He truly liked someone and even tried to picture a future together. He thought his first love was a thing of the past.
But strangely, she came to mind every time the year changed.
The face that laughed with him, the small hand that held his without even wearing gloves. Sometimes he wondered how she was doing. Sometimes she even appeared in his dreams. Sometimes the eighteen-year-old her was smiling, and sometimes the twenty-two-year-old her was crying just like on their last day.
In particular, the cruel words he spat out that day still made his heart ache even after six years.
One dawn, waking up from another dream about her, Jaeha brushed his hair back and laughed hollowly.
"Seriously, why am I still having dreams like that?"
And then, one Monday morning.
The first kickoff meeting for a large-scale AI collaboration project. Jaeha was sitting in the seat of honor, fiddling with a pen while welcoming the attendees.
The moment he casually looked toward the conference room door, his gaze stopped.
The familiar eyes and smile. A face he couldn't forget even after six years.
