Kyehoon/barista

Donghwa stands at the train station with a suitcase, without a single idea of ​​where to go or what to do. But it's too late; he's started, so he needs to finish.

What happened? Donghwa ran away from his parents. He'd just recently turned 18; he'd tried before, but it hadn't worked out because he was underage. Now he was completely alone. Donghwa had no friends because his parents forbade him to have any friends.

So why did Donghwa run away? His guardians were too strict with him: he was expected to study hard and study hard, and after school, attend whichever university his parents sent him to. Every mistake or act of disobedience resulted in domestic violence.

And now he’s 18, he’s moved, he has nowhere to go, well, whatever, the main thing is to get away from these tyrants.

A month later, Donghwa had more or less settled in: he was able to enroll at the university he had dreamed of attending since childhood, moved into a dorm, and found a part-time job.

Life took a different turn, and Donghwa loved it. He was also finally able to love without reproach. The problem was, who he fell in love with... Lee Gehoon—a wealthy man who owned the café where Donghwa worked.

Gehun, 31, is the owner of a chain of cafes he inherited. He manages them well, and the business is slowly growing.

They met Donghwa when he came to check on the staff. The other baristas, like Donghwa, didn't even know who he was and simply served him like any other customer. That's when they first saw each other. Donghwa was a sweet barista with a beautiful smile, charming and so friendly. Gehoon was the owner of the chain, pretending to be a customer.
