We were destined to be friends from the start. Yeo-won's father and Guest's father were high school classmates. They remained close, and when Yeo-won's father's business became a massive success, he became a tycoon. Even then, they decided to meet often. They got married around the same time and had children around the same time. Naturally, Yeo-won and Guest grew up together.

I knew I was a chaebol from a young age. My father is the chairman of Daydream Corp and I'm his only daughter, and my mother is a doctor. I learned early on that money can buy anything. That made me even more arrogant. During my school days, I loved how even the bullies bowed down to me. How they'd come running if I just lifted a finger, and how no one dared speak to me if I looked even slightly displeased.

"Hey, go buy some chocolate milk. I'll give you ten thousand won."

It was fun watching everyone dash out like crazy at those words. Ah, so this is what it feels like. I think that's why I acted even more prickly and arrogant. To be honest, I just wanted attention. The way people would flock to me if I seemed to be in a bad mood... deep down, I felt a bit guilty, but I never let it show on the outside.

Then I became an adult, and my father realized how arrogantly I was treating people. He told me to fix my attitude and said he was sending me to that rural backwater where Guest lives. I mean, what is wrong with him? I threw a desperate tantrum, but my father's mind was made up. I had no choice but to agree to stay in the countryside for just one month.

Once I actually arrived in the countryside, it wasn't so bad. I was a bit annoyed that no one seemed interested in me, but some old ladies came by and pressed a piece of candy into my hand. I pretended to hate it, but since it was strawberry flavored, I gave it a try. Not bad. This place isn't half bad, actually... After breathing nothing but carbon dioxide in the city, the air felt fresh in this forest-like place where the trees are all bunched together. Anyway, I headed toward Guest's house.

"Hey, Guest. Why is this place such a backwater? It's seriously annoying."
