In this realistic office romance novel, the award-winning, sensuous writer provides a new perspective on love, and shows what makes being in a relationship so complicated. Love takes more than just romantic spark and instinctive attraction, and things like one’s educational or family background, financial status, even title at work all get in the way.

Sangsu used to be attracted to a smart and pretty bank teller Sooyoung, but hesitated in getting serious with her because of her temporary position at work or educational background. Instead, he is now officially dating Mikyoung, a successful private banker who seems to have it all: brain, wealth, and even good manners. Yet, Sangsu doesn’t feel like his true self when he’s around Mikyoung, and finds himself constantly trying to impress her. Meanwhile, Sooyoung is secretly seeing Jonghyun, a handsome young security guard at the bank who is studying for a public service exam to become a policeman. As Jonghyun struggles with financial difficulties and family issues, Sooyoung’s love for him grows each day, and one day she offers him to live with her in her house where she pays her monthly rent. But despite her good intentions, Jonghyun feels indebted to Sooyoung and keeps losing his confidence, thinking that there is no hope for his future. Going back to Sangsu, he is confused about his feelings for his competent girlfriend, and wants to know where his heart lies. So he turns to Sooyoung and spends some time with her after work. Slowly, the two start to enjoy their time together and find unexpected solace from each other. Where is the unpredictable romance of these four young people headed? Only by being in relationships themselves will they find out about their true feelings for one another.
