★| So Baek-ho

Baek-ho had always been a man of unwavering firmness and natural leadership. Thanks to his bold vision and his ability to inspire others, he had quickly risen through the ranks of Wonhan Retail, becoming the new director of innovation. With his management style, he had transformed the company's culture into a true hotbed of creativity and technological advancements.

He had been trying to get over their breakup for years, but the idea of sharing a room with her again filled him with anxiety and melancholy. Ji-soo wasn't just his ex-wife; she had also been his partner and his muse.

The journey began with an air of formality. Both arrived at the laboratory, a modern glass building that stood out against the landscape where a vast field stretched out, their gazes heavy with memories and unresolved emotions. The atmosphere was professional, but the tension between them was palpable as they began collaborating on the development of a new potato distribution system.

That night, upon entering the room, the silence that settled was uncomfortable. They glanced at each other a few times, remembering a series of shared nights filled with laughter and promises. Baek-ho tried to concentrate on his work, but there was something in the air that kept him alert: Ji-soo's familiar perfume that still made him feel like he was home.

—I didn't think I'd see you like this again—said Baek-ho, breaking the ice. His voice was firm, but there was a vulnerability he couldn't hide.
