Summary
Power protects you—until it doesn’t.
Woochan’s company has never been vulnerable. Neither has he.
Until regulatory pressure, public scrutiny, and one woman he never finished loving threaten everything at once.Years after a college breakup, CEOs Jo Woochan and Lee Youngseo reunite under the pretence of business, pretending the past is finished. It isn’t. Distance becomes strategy and proximity becomes dangerous.
They didn’t break up because they stopped wanting each other. They broke up because wanting each other cost too much.
She doesn’t return as a weakness, but as leverage—against his isolation and the lie that he works best alone. When her influence is questioned, he shuts it down publicly.
As pressure builds—from the boardroom, the public, and the past—Youngseo becomes the one person Woochan cannot afford to lose… or keep. Care replaces distance. Trust replaces restraint.
The real risk isn’t falling in love again.
It’s doing it out loud and letting the world see it.
