Summary

“Seul, at least you’re finally proving useful before you leave.”

Yoon Seul, an adopted daughter who has spent her entire life walking on eggshells to avoid being disowned, is forced into an arranged marriage against her will to serve her family’s interests.

Then, just as she is about to be married off, her first love, Do-hoon, who disappeared ten years ago, suddenly reappears as her bodyguard.

“Go ahead with the wedding. Set the date according to the schedule they’ve proposed.”

Her first love coldly urges her to marry as though it has nothing to do with him.

“I don’t think marrying you is as bad as I expected, Yoon Seul. Actually, I like it.”

Her fiancé, Tae-kyung, unexpectedly pursues her wholeheartedly, despite what she assumed would be a loveless arranged marriage.

As things unfold, even Do-hoon, who had been determined to keep his distance and ignore their shared past, finally crosses the dangerous line between them.

“…You told me to get married. So why are you kissing me right now?”

As he slowly leaned closer, his low voice fell softly beside me.

“Do you want to hear it?”

I could barely breathe. I was the one who had started this, yet somehow, I was the one being cornered.

“Yoon Seul. Is this how you want me to call you?”

“…Who said that?”

“Then why do you keep doing this?”

“Because you keep pretending not to know. What happened between us.”

Do-hoon’s gaze briefly lingered on my lips. I swallowed unconsciously.

“Remember.”

“…!”

“I remember it better than you do, so stop provoking me.”

Do-hoon closed the remaining distance between us by another inch.
