Summary
Jin Ihyeon struggles to interact with others due to a pathological fear of men and an uncontrollable tendency to blush. Then, one day, an uninvited intruder barges into her life.
His name is Liam O’Connor—an English teacher working at the same kindergarten.
Suffering from a severe case of delusional self-confidence, Liam mistakenly believes Ihyeon’s flushed face means she has a crush on him.
“I know you like me, but I’m not into you.”
Before she can even protest, Ihyeon accidentally learns one of his secrets, and their relationship takes an unexpected turn. Uncomfortable with their growing tension, she makes a reckless move for the sake of her own peace of mind.
She asks him if he likes her.
It was meant to be an attack—something shocking enough to rattle a delusional man.
But his answer is absurd.
“If I feel like teasing you all the time… maybe I do.”
As if he’s found the answer he’d been looking for, Liam smiles with unsettling satisfaction. Ihyeon panics and desperately denies it.
“No, Mr. Liam, that’s not it. That can’t be it. You don’t like me, right?”
Please—let this be a dream.
This relationship needed to end. For the sake of Ihyeon’s mental health, it had to.
So why—
“I didn’t do anything. Why are you treating me like a pervert?”
Strangely, Ihyeon can’t seem to escape his grasp. Liam leans in and murmurs lazily,
“But I can’t promise I’ll keep being nice forever.”
