~SYNOPSIS~
How can she still be so maddeningly beautiful?
Our meeting feels like the punchline of a joke.
Kim Hwido — heir to the Wooheon Group.
After throwing a punch at his half-brother who had humiliated him, he’s banished to a countryside villa.
There, in the quiet village of Mayeong-ri, he’s reunited with the girl from his brief but unforgettable high school days—his first love.
Yoon Yeongwon.
Why is it that I always seem to meet you whenever I’ve failed or fallen?
“I’ll just keep to myself while I’m here, so don’t bother with me.”
“You think this is just some lighthearted incident?”
Yeongwon looked at Hwido with a stunned expression.
“If you don’t work, you don’t eat.”
“What?”
“Make some noodles, Kim Hwido. If you want dinner, you’d better earn it.”
And still—how can she be so infuriatingly beautiful?
With Yeongwon’s help, Hwido gradually adjusts to life in Mayeong-ri.
The problem is, while he’s getting used to rural life, his wallet is growing emptier by the day.
“Yoon Yeongwon, want to come pull weeds in the field with me?”
“Do you want me to cut your daily pay?”
“…That was a joke, right?”
Please don’t cut my pay, Yeongwon.
I’d like to ask you out,
but… I’m broke.
