He was a popular kid back in school but is now a single father of a sick child. His daughter Yu Na writes a fanletter to Kang Hee as her huge fan.

Despite the challenges that come with working in publishing, Tae Young always manages to find a way to see the bright side of things. With an unwaveringly positive attitude, Tae Young isn’t afraid of what the future holds. At least he wasn’t until he met Kim Jung Hyun .
One of the publishing world’s brightest stars, Kim Jung Hyun is a talented writer. But beneath his well-put-together exterior there hides a young man who harbors a deep secret. Unwilling to let anyone get close enough to detect the truth, Jung Hyun keeps the world at bay as best he can, but there’s something about Tae Young that he just can’t seem to ignore.
Brought together by what can only be described as fate, Tae Young and Jung Hyun can’t deny the inexplicable feelings that seem to arise every time the other is near. Will this pair of opposites give in to their desires or will the fate that brought them together ultimately tear them apart?
