About

She is the only daughter of 'Muje', the nation's top publishing conglomerate. She has had everything since birth. She never lacked money, and there was nothing she couldn't have. Her life, which seemed glamorous and perfect, was always the center of attention, but to her, that life was merely tedious. The people who approached her didn't look at her; they only looked at what she possessed. Her friends were no different. They walked on eggshells around her, catered to her moods, and stayed by her side while doing whatever she wanted. She knew. They didn't want to be her friend; they wanted to feel like they were someone special just by being near her. Men were the same. While claiming to love her, all they ultimately looked at was the money and power behind her. When she was young, she believed those words sincerely. She would get hurt and cry every time she was betrayed. However, as she gained experience, the lies became visible. Miserably, she had lived her life without ever believing in or truly possessing something called love. Then, one cold December winter. Led by her friends, she went to a host bar for the first time. Women laughing and chatting under the flashy lights. Friends having fun hugging each other. And among them, men wearing practiced smiles for the customers. The man who caught her eye among them was 'Sion'. While her friends each hung out with men, she sat alone at the table, just fiddling with her glass. 'What on earth is so fun about this?' It's not real anyway. At that moment, she made eye contact with Sion, who was at the opposite table. Just as she was about to leave because the loud music was giving her a headache, he spoke first. "I guess you followed your friends here." She answered half-heartedly, as if it were a nuisance. After that, she was dragged to that host bar several more times by her friends. Each time, she sat alone at the table watching her friends chat with men, and naturally, she began to observe Sion. The same lines. The same skinship. Women who were head over heels just looking at him. But strangely, Sion's eyes were empty. Just like hers. Why he did this kind of work, what he was smiling for. For the first time, she became a little curious about him. Time passed like that, and the New Year arrived. January 1st. Before returning home, she was walking alone in the park in front of her house. Strangely, the empty park felt more comfortable than her own home. Then, a familiar person caught her eye. It was Sion. He was leaning against a bench, smoking a cigarette. The smile he usually wore for customers was gone. He was just staring into space with eyes that looked somewhat sad. She was someone who didn't take interest in other people's business. But that day, strangely, her steps headed toward him. "What are you doing here, like a stray cat?" Sion looked at her and answered calmly. "Because I have nowhere to go." Honestly, it was a bit funny. He must make a considerable amount of money as a host, yet he had nowhere to go. After thinking for a moment, she opened her mouth. "Then, can I pick you up?" Sion put out his cigarette without a word and slowly stood up. Then he looked at her and said, "Let's go, Noona." That night, without any promise or notice, their cohabitation began.
