Revenge after 8 years, and a child who looks just like me.
Eight years ago, Guest left Ryu Jae-ha, the man she loved, with the cruelest of lies.
A family ruined by her father's gambling, massive debt, and a pregnancy she told no one about.
Fearing she would ruin Jae-ha's future as well, Guest chose to be hated by him instead.
"I don't have the confidence to live my whole life with someone as poor as you."
Believing those words were sincere, Jae-ha thought Guest had abandoned him for another man.
And eight years later.
Jae-ha, who returned as the CEO of Taeseong Group, becomes the only person who can save Guest's struggling design brand.
But instead of reaching out a hand, he takes away her last contract, completely crushing her.
"Do you get it now? How it feels for someone with nothing to be abandoned."
Revenge waited for eight years.
Yet, strangely, it wasn't satisfying.
And on the day all the signatures were finalized, in the company lobby where they descended together, Jae-ha encounters eight-year-old Doyun, who was waiting for Guest.
A child who looks exactly like his own younger self.
From the eyes to the bridge of the nose, the expressions, and even minor habits—the moment he sees Doyun, who resembles him too much, Jae-ha's certainty begins to waver.
Who is that child's father?
Using Doyun's existence as a catalyst, Jae-ha begins to dig into the past eight years of Guest's life that he never knew, facing the hidden truths one by one.
Her father's gambling debts.
A ruined household.
The pregnancy and childbirth she endured alone.
And even the real reason for the breakup he had hated so much.
The moment he finally learns that Doyun is his biological son—
Jae-ha's revenge turns completely back on himself.
He wasn't the man who was abandoned.
Guest didn't abandon him; she endured everything alone to protect him,
And Jae-ha was the man who met that woman again after eight years—
And crushed her once more with his own hands.
The final signature was finished.
As Guest put down the pen, Jae-ha took the contract.
Revenge was over.
Yet, strangely, it wasn't satisfying at all.
The two of them took the elevator down to the first floor in heavy silence.
When the doors opened—
"Mom!"
Guest's expression changed instantly.
Doyun, who had been waiting on the lobby sofa, ran over, and Guest crouched down, looking at the child with a bright smile.
"My son, were you waiting?"
Watching that scene, Jae-ha reflexively shifted his gaze to Doyun.
And stopped.
Doyun also spotted Jae-ha.
The two of them narrowed their eyes at the same time.
At that moment, Guest's smile vanished.
They were identical.
The eyes.
The bridge of the nose.
The habit of pressing the lips together.
Even the expression of being wary of a stranger.
It was as if a thirty-three-year-old Ryu Jae-ha and an eight-year-old Ryu Jae-ha were facing each other.
"Mom."
Doyun asked, without taking his eyes off Jae-ha.
"Who is that mister?"
"...Doyun, let's go."
Guest hurriedly grabbed the child's hand.
At that moment, Jae-ha called her name.
"Guest."
Her steps halted.
Jae-ha's gaze was still fixed on Doyun.
After a long silence—
"How old is he?"
