Summary

I started tutoring because of a secret crush on my senior.   But then I heard the rumors—his nickname was Myeong Yoon X, the King of the Night?   Just my luck. Of all people, it had to be Myeong Jaeheon—the arrogant troublemaker—who found out about my secret.   “Peeping again? You did this back then too. Keep it up, and it’s going to be a real problem.”   He looked amused, mischief dancing in his eyes, while I stood frozen, on the verge of tears.   “Don’t tell me… you had a crush on Myeong Yoonjo?”   I couldn’t hide my pain. But Jaeheon only smirked, eyes glinting with something unreadable.   “I’ll help you forget him,” he said.   “W-What?”   “I mean it. I won’t let you cry anymore. I’ll be the one who won’t make you cry.”   His words felt like a spell—firm, steady, and strangely comforting. For the first time, I felt like someone could really erase that old heartbreak.   “You don’t know this, but... I’ve always been better than my uncle. At everything.” ---   Five years later. He came back into my life—this time as a director at Myeong Group.   Myeong Jaeheon hadn’t changed. He was still bold, still knew how to catch me off guard.   “I don’t care who you’re dating,” he said. “But if you try running away from me again, go ahead. I’ll chase you—to the ends of the universe, Jung Ihoon.”   I met Myeong Jaeheon when I was twenty. I left him when I was twenty-three. Now, at twenty-eight, we’ve met again.
