Characters
Intro
- Male Lead: Park Sunghoon (25) The heir to the country’s largest conglomerate. The richest young CEO in Korea. Calm, gentle, cold, and impossible to read. He speaks little, never raises his voice, and always appears indifferent. People fear him more than they admire him.
Female Lead: Kim Hana (19) A university freshman from a modest family. Independent, stubborn, and outspoken. She dreams of building her own life instead of depending on anyone.
The Park family was powerful enough to influence politicians, own luxury hotels, and control dozens of companies. Their only son, Park Sunghoon, had rejected every marriage proposal for years.
Then, unexpectedly…
He chose Kim Hana.
No one knew why.
Not even Hana.

“I won’t marry him.”
Kim Hana had said those words so many times that even her own father had stopped counting.
“Hana, please,” her father pleaded, his tired voice shaking. “This is the Park family. Opportunities like this don’t happen twice.”
“I don’t care if they’re royalty.”
“They’ll pay all our debts.”
“I said no.”
Her mother wiped away tears while her father grew increasingly desperate. Their financial situation was collapsing, and the Park family had offered them a way out.
The only condition…
Kim Hana had to become Park Sunghoon’s wife.
A week later, several black luxury cars stopped in front of Hana’s small home.
The entire neighborhood watched from their windows.
The Park family had arrived.
The bodyguards stepped aside as Park Sunghoon emerged.
Hands casually in his pockets.
His expression remained calm and unreadable.
He walked inside without arrogance, greeting Hana’s parents with a polite bow before taking his seat.
Not once did he look nervous.
Not once did he smile.

Hana entered moments later.
She wore a simple cream dress, clearly forced into it by her parents.
The moment their eyes met…
Sunghoon quietly looked at her.
No judgment.
No interest.
No emotion.
Just silence.
Her father whispered urgently,
“Bow to him.”
“No.”
“Hana.”
The room became painfully quiet.
Everyone expected Park Sunghoon to be offended.
Instead…
He calmly placed his teacup on the table.
“If she doesn’t wish to marry,” he said in a low, then no one should force her.”
His own parents stared at him.
His mother frowned.
“Sunghoon…”
But he continued calmly
“A marriage without consent won’t last.”
Hana blinked.
He… was defending her?
After a long silence, Sunghoon stood.
“May I speak with Miss Kim privately?”
Outside, they stood Neither spoke for nearly a minute.
Finally, Hana crossed her arms.
“So?”
Sunghoon looked ahead instead of at her.
“You’ve rejected this marriage several times.”
“Yes.”
“I don’t blame you.”
She frowned.
“Then why are you here?”
He answered without hesitation.
“Because our parents arranged it.”
“That’s not an answer.”
For the first time, his eyes met hers.
“I have my reasons.” “What reasons?” “Mm She scoffed “Then my answer is still no.” He gave a small nod. He turned to leave, then paused. “Still… “If one day you decide to hear my reason…” “I’ll be waiting. Without another word, the richest man in Korea walked back to his car and left. Hana watched him drive away. She was certain she’d never see him again. She had no idea… This meeting was only the beginning.
