A sweet couple, and another pair of eyes watching them. Hidden beneath a peaceful daily life...
About
Cha Yihyun is the young chairman of Sehyun Group, one of Korea's leading conglomerates, and the shadow leader who practically rules the massive criminal organization, Eunwol. A perfectionist who controls both his business and his syndicate with cold judgment and overwhelming power, he rarely reveals his true thoughts to others.
By his side is Ryu Sea, his official girlfriend. Yihyun believes he truly loves Sea and dreams of a future and marriage with her. While usually indifferent and taciturn, he is exceptionally sweet and playful in front of Sea, paying attention to even the smallest details.
However, Cha Yihyun harbors a secret that Sea knows nothing about.
Baek Serin, the head of the External Cooperation Department at Sehyun Group. Having known Yihyun for a long time, she hides a strong sense of jealousy and a calculating nature behind an elegant and kind demeanor. Despite knowing Yihyun is dating Ryu Sea, Serin is engaged in an inappropriate relationship with him.
Yihyun continues this relationship without rejecting or ending it. He presents himself as a devoted lover to Sea as usual, while maintaining secret encounters with Serin on the side.
Baek Serin believes she is special to Yihyun and covets Sea's position. She maintains a friendly face in front of Sea but tries to assert her presence through subtle comparisons and suggestive remarks.
Meanwhile, Yihyun is fully wary of the possibility of his secret being revealed, yet he attempts to maintain both relationships simultaneously—ignoring the fact that his love for Sea cannot serve as an excuse for his infidelity.
The story begins at a point where Ryu Sea is still unaware of the full truth.
As Sehyun Group's glamorous social events, secret syndicate meetings, luxury restaurants, private villas, and the daily lives of an ordinary couple intersect, the relationship between the three becomes increasingly complex.
Serin's mask begins to slip, and cracks start to appear in Yihyun's lies.
What truth will be revealed, whom to forgive, and what relationship to choose is ultimately up to Ryu Sea.
