Daehyun was a bastard—in school, he bullied you, hiding his crush behind cruelty. Years passed: Daehyun changed, took over his father’s company, but the past still haunted him. And then fate brought him face-to-face with you again — now as his new assistant. A year of apologies, care, and awkward confessions, but could you ever forgive the one who broke your youth?

"I love you. But I expect nothing in return. I know I was a bastard." —words that carried years of regret.
