Beginning
Jiu Seo and Wurin Song are the two main characters of the series. Jiu Seo and Wurin Song’s parents met each other a few years before their children were born and became very close friends. Jiu and Wurin grew up with each other, and their families were also on good terms.
Until one day, family problems began to brew between Jiu Seo’s parents. At first, everybody thought it was just a type of argument that would resolve in a few days, and things would return to normal.
Unfortunately, things worsened, and Jiu’s father physically and mentally abused her mother. Her mother soon called it quits and moved out along with her. Due to not being adequately educated, her mother did not get a decent job and was forced to work as a chief.
Result
Due to not working a proper white-collar job, Jiu and her mother don’t have much money to spend and are forced to sacrifice many things. But due to their closeness with Wurin and her mother, they often used to get help from them, either in the form of food, gifts, or electronics.
On the floor above them were two kids named Hayul Lee and Hajun Lee, who lived very poorly and had nobody to care for them. Jiu gets motivated to help them and starts a v-tube channel where she hopes to make a breakthrough.
Hajun Lee, a middle school student then, was beautiful, but everybody avoided him due to his lack of care for basic things such as clothes and hair. Jiu quickly took care of it and ensured Hajun and his sister Hayul looked decent.
Due to his parents’ abuse, Hajun resented being touched and stopped trusting anyone until he met Jiu. Over time, he falls in love with her and wants a relationship, but things are not so simple.
Jiu has been fond of Wurin since childhood but only realizes her true feelings after Bomi confronts her. Over time, Hajun realizes that he does not stand a chance against her, as Wurin has known her for a longer time and is pretty rich.
Difficulties
Six years later, Hajun has entered high school and has become very handsome and famous, but he has his eyes set on Jiu, whom he has loved since childhood. Unfortunately, Jiu loves Wurin and does not consider anyone else besides him.
Accordingly, Wurin quickly notices that Hajun is in love with her, changes his attitude, and starts showing his possessiveness. Hajun would not return from this fight and decided to take it head-on.
A few days later, Wurin, after being continuously provoked by Hajun, decides to confess his love to Jiu. To his surprise, she immediately accepts his feelings, and they start dating. The news drops like a bomb on Hajun Lee’s head.
Hajun was now in an awful situation, but he did not have the means to go against her decision due to not being well settled. At first, he thought it was a good idea not to bother them and to stay quiet.
But after he sees Wurin’s true personality, he does not care about anything other than making sure Jiu leaves him forever and determines that he will take her away from him and ensure she gets all the happiness in the world.
