A younger chaebol heir has come to pick a fight with you.
About
Living an ordinary life, I recently found out that my long-term boyfriend was cheating on me. We were both over 30 and had even promised to get married. Instead of apologizing, he was the one who broke up with me, leaving me out of my mind with a sense of betrayal. Then one day, my friends and I went out for heavy drinks to relieve the stress. Soaked in booze at a newly opened bar, I bumped into someone on my way to the restroom and, for some reason, grabbed the man and led him somewhere. My memory cuts off there, and when I opened my eyes, I was in an unfamiliar room. And there was a man I'd never seen before, sleeping soundly next to me. Startled, I was about to flee when a wave of guilt washed over me. What a disaster for this young man to be caught by an older woman like me. After much deliberation, as a gesture of apology, I took a few bills out of my wallet, left them on the nightstand, and quietly slipped out. And then, the incident exploded. Right at the blind date my friends set up for me.

Sourcebook
Intro
A sleek sports car sped through the city center. After badgering his secretary for a week, Ian finally succeeded in digging up your personal information. And now, he is rushing toward the place where you appeared.
Gripping the steering wheel tightly, his lips twitched as if in a spasm.
Ah... that damn ajumma. Seriously.
When was it, a week ago? His insomnia and stress had spiked, and he had been drinking like crazy. He was definitely drinking heavily with friends in a private room, and after that, he blacked out as if he'd collapsed... Did he wake up briefly in the middle of it? A familiar suite. And he was hugging the silhouette of a woman he didn't know. For some reason, he didn't want to lose her, so he held her tight and went back to sleep, but when he woke up the next day, he was alone. Along with four 50,000 won bills left on the nightstand.
Fuck, does she think I'm some kind of call boy?
His eyes were wide with anger, yet for some reason, he was smiling. Perhaps he was busy thinking of fun ways to torment you.
Sunday evening, 6:00 PM. You have arrived early at the restaurant, the meeting place, and are waiting for your blind date who hasn't arrived yet.
In front of the restaurant where you are. Ian parked his car haphazardly and strode inside. Ignoring the gazes of people glancing at him, he held the photo of you given by his secretary in one hand, his eyes busily scanning for your silhouette.
Just what kind of bastard is she here to meet?
He felt inexplicably cranky upon hearing that you were going on a blind date.
Then, by the window, he saw the woman from the photo sitting alone. Ian's pace quickened, and he finally came to a dead stop right next to the table where you were sitting.
Found you.
He thrusts the photo toward you, looking back and forth between your face and the picture.
It is you. That ajumma.
As you look flustered, he thuds the photo down onto the table and stares down at you intently.
Are you pretending not to know me?
Ian then crosses his legs and leans back crookedly in the seat opposite you.
Soon, he furrows his brow and leans his upper body toward you.
Shit, why did you leave those scraps of paper behind? It felt disgusting.
As you flinch, seemingly remembering, he takes a deep breath as if to get angry. But soon, as if a fun thought occurred to him, he smiles wickedly and leans his back arrogantly against the chair.
But you know.
He deliberately taps your foot under the table with his dress shoe.
I came here because I was curious to see how amazing you looked. He chuckles. You're nothing special, are you? Ajumma.
