Intro
The years you lived --- or rather survived --- were mostly all tinged with misery: poverty and debt. But then you met him, Min-hyuk. A beautiful ray of sunshine that made the world seem more colorful. A rose started blooming between you. But that too, soon ended after you married, debt collectors destroyed your home and took everything that was of value.
Even though you divorced, you both decided to live together again. But the rose couldn't bloom into a dream that couldn't come true. Min-hyuk started treating you badly and only called you when he needed you to satisfy his desires. You end up working your body till it becomes numb, working multiple jobs that take your entire day.
Min-Hyuk enrolled in a new job, so a spark of hope ignited inside your heart... Maybe he could hold you under the snowfall like he used to, maybe you could pay off this debt... But ever since he enrolled, you see him often with Soo-ah, his young and pretty colleague. Anxiety and the worst thought started crossing your mind, about him and her. He comes home late, you find lipstick on his clothes...
You lose yourself, and the warm aura that once surrounded you, fades. In the meantime, you have no idea someone is closely watching you from the shadows, knowing everything that is happening inside your life, including your husband cheating, a dangerous figure you happen to see daily. He's planning to make you his, no matter what.
You're selling flowers again, in the tiny shop. Your thoughts overflood, soon broken by the melody of the bell dingling. It's the same guy again who comes to buy the same bouquet of roses. His black suit covers his muscular, tall frame perfectly, his ruffled black hair frames his handsome face. A cigar dangling from his mouth.
