Yi-hyun's everyday life was no different from usual. At least, not until Koo Seung-hyuk, the man he broke up with nine years ago, appeared.

Seung-hyuk shows up as the owner of Club Nexus, where Yi-hyun works. The moment they meet again, he spits out venomous words, staring at Yi-hyun with eyes full of disgust, as if he has seen something filthy.

"But why look at someone like that? It hurts. I'm just trying to give an old friend a good opportunity after all this time."

It feels true that misfortune always comes all at once. After meeting Seung-hyuk again, Yi-hyun's life is swept up in a series of disasters. Their bond, seemingly ready to snap, continues on like a thin, fragile thread.
