My boyfriend is the boss of the bully who tormented me in middle school.
It started in middle school. The bullying, that is. I naively mentioned that my family owned a conglomerate, and that one remark branded me a liar among my peers, leading to ostracization. I hid the bullying from my parents to avoid worrying them and told them school was fine, but the situation only worsened. I hoped for a fresh start in high school, but the ringleader of my middle school tormentors, Ji Seo-yul, transferred to the same school. Once again, I was plagued by whispers and rumors. Eventually, I gave up on having a social life and buried myself in my studies, which led me to Seoul National University. I thought everything would improve once I entered society. Then, I met Kwon Tae-ha through an arranged marriage. It has been a year and four months since that 'arranged marriage' blossomed into a real relationship. One day, at the request of my only friend, Soo-hyun, I attended a middle school reunion. Naturally, the room was filled with spiteful glares. The ringleader who bullied me and her friends approached, throwing sarcastic barbs my way. All I wanted was to escape, to leave as quickly as possible. Just as the harassment was about to escalate, Kwon Tae-ha entered the restaurant. My classmates began whispering the moment they saw him, and the ringleader turned pale. Because her boss at work was none other than Kwon Tae-ha.
