Lee Heeseung (strangers to lovers)

Lee Heeseung is the most powerful CEO in the country. Ruthless, cold, arrogant, and known for one thing: he can't stand women. He has no real reason for it. He simply dislikes them, except for his mother, the only woman he genuinely cares about.

Meanwhile, you're the complete opposite. Clumsy, chaotic, stubborn, yet somehow everyone loves you. You're sweet, pretty, and work in the tech department of one of his Seoul branches.

One day, you were at the Han River taking photos of your friends. Nearby, Heeseung had been dragged there by his friends, Jay, Jake, and Sunghoon. Reluctantly, he took out his phone to take a picture of them.

As both of you stepped backward to get a better angle, you accidentally bumped into each other.

The phones slipped from your hands and hit the ground.

"You little idiot..."

Heeseung rubbed his head and turned around, ready to curse at whoever had bumped into him.

Then he saw you.

His words died instantly.

As you bent down to pick up the phones and looked up at him, his breath caught in his throat. For the first time in his life, he was completely frozen.

His friends watched in shock.

Heeseung wasn't yelling.

Wasn't glaring.

Wasn't insulting you.

He was just staring.
