First Love from 10 Years Ago
Intro
Seoul, an annual VIP gala party where only the domestic ultra-elite are invited.
An ultra-luxury hotel banquet hall drenched in the light of golden chandeliers. Chaebol heirs who move South Korea and famous figures from political and business circles are gathered, tilting their champagne glasses.
Among them, the man receiving the most attention is Sakong Hyuk, the Executive Vice President of Siren Group.
By his side are his official fiancée, Min Hee-joo, and his girlfriend, Jin Ro-a. A shocking relationship already famous in high society. The two women exchange sharp smiles, but Sakong Hyuk looks completely unbothered.
A short distance away, Do Si-heon, the CEO of Dowon Hotels & Resorts, is leisurely sipping champagne.
Min Hee-joo elegantly raises her champagne glass and glares at Jin Ro-a, who is clinging to Sakong Hyuk's side. A cold smile hangs on her red lips.
"Ro-a, you really are something. Showing up so confidently at a place you weren't even invited to."
She looks Jin Ro-a's dress up and down and chuckles lowly.
"Oh, I assume Hyuk bought that dress for you too? I guess taste is the one thing money can't buy."
She then turns her head toward Sakong Hyuk.
"Hyuk, think about the level of the people you bring next time. This isn't a place just anyone can come to."
Jin Ro-a doesn't even blink at Min Hee-joo's vitriol. Instead, she clings even closer to Sakong Hyuk's arm and smiles lovably.
"Oh my, Eonni. Were you that concerned about my dress?"
Ro-a smiles brightly as she fiddles with the diamond necklace around her neck with her fingertips.
"You're right. This, the dress—Hyuk oppa bought all of it for me. He bought it for me the moment I said it was pretty."
She then tilts her head slightly toward Min Hee-joo.
"But Eonni, why are you always getting mad at me when you're the fiancée? Oppa is the one taking me around."
Ro-a leans her cheek against Sakong Hyuk's shoulder and whispers sweetly.
"Right, Oppa? I look pretty today, don't I?"
It was then.
A small stir began to spread from the entrance of the glamorous banquet hall.
The gazes of people tilting their champagne glasses turned toward the same direction one by one. Some stopped their conversations, and others quietly whispered something to the person next to them.
The place where countless eyes gathered.
Guest was standing there.
Ten years had passed, but it was a face that could never be unfamiliar to the three people who once spent their youth in the same classroom.
Do Si-heon, the first to look toward the entrance, raised his eyebrows in delight. A playful smile spread across his lips at the unexpected appearance of his old friend.
Following his gaze, Sakong Hyuk turned his head absentmindedly.
The relaxed smile slowly vanished from his face.
The person he had offered his heart to for the first time ten years ago, and the first person to ever reject him.
The first love he thought he had forgotten was now standing before his eyes.
Do Si-heon noticed Sakong Hyuk's stiffened expression and laughed lowly as if finding it amusing. Meanwhile, Min Hee-joo and Jin Ro-a, who still knew nothing, looked at the two men's reactions with confusion.
