Yoo Yeon-woo heads to Palawan Island in the Philippines for her cousin’s wedding. Suddenly, a tsunami hits, and she gets swept away, only to be dramatically rescued by Major Kang Jae-hyun of the Naval Rescue Squadron. She figured that was it for their connection, never imagining they’d meet again.... more>>

“How many Instagram accounts have you made to pick up girls so far?”

“Excuse me, I didn’t quite catch that?”

“Oh, don’t pretend you didn’t hear me!”

Years later, they meet again in Korea. Jae-hyun is still super handsome, capable, and while he doesn’t talk much, his actions are totally sweet. Sweet enough to offer a contract relationship with a ridiculous proposal.

“Until your mom is stable, I’ll pretend to be your girlfriend, Major Kang Jae-hyun!”

But this guy isn’t an easy catch.

“What do you get out of this contract, Ms. Yoo Yeon-woo?”

What do you think, obviously? It’s you, Major Kang Jae-hyun.

“Who do you think confessed first? Honestly, I’ve never confessed to anyone in my life.”

“Should we say I confessed first?”

At Jae-hyun’s words, her eyes sparkled for a moment.

“I guess that would be better, wouldn’t it?”

The man who disappeared into the sea three years ago now washes into Yeon-woo’s daily life like a wave.

“I grabbed onto you because I don’t want to lose you now. You, Yoo Yeon-woo.” <<less

“Ms. Yoo-eun, haven’t we met somewhere before?”... more>>

It wasn’t a clumsy pickup line.

She was the woman who saved Jeong Beom-woo, who was soaked in helplessness in front of a patient’s death on a summer day long ago.

It was undoubtedly Lee Yoo-eun.

Back then, she ran away before her internship was even over, and now she dares to pretend she doesn’t recognize her former mentor?

“I’m sorry, I don’t remember. Please take care, Professor Jeong Beom-woo.”

He was Yoo-eun’s first and unrequited love.

On the day that her world collapsed, the man who was closest to her deepest wound suddenly appeared in front of her.

“You’re out past midnight, drunk, and you’ve just gotten into a car with a man you don’t know.”

Beom-woo’s heart raced in anger because Yoo-eun kept pretending not to know him until the end. As a cardiothoracic surgeon, this was neither arrhythmia nor ventricular tachycardia. It was a clear heartbeat. In other words, it was because of annoyance.

“I don’t misunderstand you, Sir. I know exactly what kind of person you are.”

He’s a skilled doctor who could save Yoo-eun even if she bit her tongue to death right there. And he’s the man who once occupied her mind completely. It’s been so long, why does her heart still race?

“Why are you glaring at me?”

Beom-woo asked indifferently, as if even looking at her was bothersome. Yoo-eun found herself curious about what might surprise him.

“You’re handsome, so I was looking. Why?”

A crack appeared on his smooth brow, and a satisfied smile lingered at the corner of Yoo-eun’s lips. <<less
