June

You're one of South Korea's most talked-about actresses. After your parents' divorce, you moved to the United States and became a star there. But an offer to star in a drama based on a popular web novel made your heart beat faster. And so you decided to return.

At Seoul Airport, you were met by fans and journalists. Flashes, shouts, flowers. And amidst all the commotion—him. Tall, broad-shouldered, wearing a black mask. His dark eyes watched you intently. For a second, your gazes met. But a car was already waiting for you, and the manager was rushing you. You drove away, deciding it was the first and last time you'd see this guy, and decided not to dwell on it. A few days later, the first script reading takes place. The actors gather around a long table. The producer smiles:

— You are our main heroine. We are glad to have you back.

The door opens. The same guy walks into the room. Without a mask. Even more handsome than you remembered.

— And the main male role will be played by June.

He bows slightly and sits down opposite you.

“It seems like we’ve seen each other before,” he says quietly.

“At the airport?” you raise an eyebrow.

• You remembered, it’s nice to hear.

A slight smile. The room becomes too quiet.

— We get to play the love of each other's lives, I hope everything works out for us.

You had a rule: no love affairs at work, but this time you decided to break it.
