Synopsis

Like an old saying goes, fate helps people come together from a thousand miles. There is a mysterious bridge, connecting two souls who are meant to find each other.

Park Su-Jin is a young graduate who is trying to live her life. Despite the hardships, she is cheerful and kind, doing her best to attract good fortune. However, she never, not in her wildest dreams, would have imagined that her destiny lied with that person.

Kang Ji-Won is cold and mean. Despite being an exceptionally talented individual, he can be often mistaken with a block of ice. All these years nothing had managed to crack that tough shield he had placed around his heart. But that is about to change soon. Here comes someone who will manage to shake his entire being to the core, and throw his life into chaos.

After an unhappy meeting during the morning, comes the realization that they will be working together. And not just that, they will be working as boss and subordinate. Sparks begin to fly as their tempers constantly flair up. But what will happen when those sparks take on a different meaning? Will they be willing to cross that bridge called fate or end up stumbling along the way?

EXTERPS:
~~~
At that moment, Ji-Won let out another groan, his mouth twisting slightly.
The sound attracted Su-Jin and her eyes instantly moved towards Ji-Won's lips. They were even paler than before, and slightly curved downward in a grimace of pain.
Still, the paleness of his mouth, combined with the light pink of his flushed face added an air of vulnerability to Ji-Won's appearance. That, in turn, made his already handsome features appear even more attractive.
Compared to that moment earlier when she was left inside the car with him, Su-Jin now felt infinitely closer to Ji-Won. The atmosphere, everything around them felt much more fragile and also... intimate.
~~~
Feeling both guilty of her thoughts and ashamed of her own behavior, Su-Jin made to leave. But she barely pushed herself against the side of the bed, when her wrist was suddenly grabbed. Five long fingers wrapped themselves around her slender wrist, tugging at it forcefully.
At the same time, a hoarse sound came from the bed.
"Don't… leave…"
Due to the unexpected movement, as well as the position Su-Jin was in, the vigorous pull almost caused her to topple down over Ji-Won's body.
Su-Jin froze, her brain momentarily blanking out. For a long, horrifying second, she believed Ji-Won had woken up. But when she looked down, she realized that he was still unconscious. Yet, the strength applied on her wrist was definitely not that of a weak, unconscious person. And there was also that thing he just said.
Soon, her shock turned into puzzlement and she, once again, decided to try and get up.
However, just like before, the moment she tried to pull away in the slightest, Ji-Won's hand acted instinctively and yanked her back towards him.
"Don't… leave… me… please…" Ji-Won's ragged voice was once again heard.

Also, this is a slow burn romance, so please prepare yourself for some misunderstandings, as well as a relatively long while before the protagonists' love blossoms. Still, I'll make sure it will be worth your patience in the end! Also, there will be a second couple in this story (perhaps even a third one), so please support them as well! ^.^

    Really entertaining, light hearted, classic romance. If you like K-drama, you are going to absolutely adore it. Writing quality and tone is great and congruous with the urban, youthful, dramedy style of the story. It flows very well and very few typos. Updates are very regular. The story develops smoothly, with first few chapters giving your the premise and backstory and then jumps right into the first meeting of our two protagonists. Characters are designed very well. They have their own individualities and both leads are very strong, that I believe will fuel their enemy to lovers story. World background is built beautifully and with warmth. As mentioned, you can get the urban, young professional vibes. Overall, it is sure to be a light hearted, touching story, I promise you. <3

    This starter off quite unexpectedly. Lots of drama from the first chapter, only for things to settle down and become lighthearted soon afterwards. Truly a rollercoaster and it's expected to continue on this trend in the future as well. Great portrayal of the relationship between characters, whether main or secondary. The comedic tone is also present so this story really is a fun and unexpectedly good ride!

    From the script so far, I can already tell this is going to be a great novel. This truly depicts the frigthening concept of reality, and mostly displays the point with realism. It also has content that depicts ordinary lives, with a few interesting items buried in-between. Although I am bot a slice of life fan, this novel got me interested. Wow, great job!

    Barely six chapters in and I can already tell this is going to be an emotional rollercoaster! Park Su-Jin is a great protagonist to follow in a story and the cast of side characters is an absolute joy to read. Though very little has happened so far, I already feel very connected to the characters and see myself following this for a long time! The writing is great with little to no grammatical errors and everything flows very well, This will be a great addition to anyone's library! A highly recommended read!

    well written story line, excellent use of phrases and good dialogue. Author successfully brings emotions out from the characters that allows reader to be immersed in the story. With good narration, it's nice to read as the plot flows from one to another .

    Shameless 5* review from the author ^_^ To anyone who stumbled upon this story, I welcome you warmly! 🥰 I hope you will be able to smile, laugh, cry or be sad together with the characters. Feelings like love and dislike will be overflowing from every chapter, so make sure you sit back and enjoy the rollercoaster ride. This story is another creation that resulted out of my many years of being in love with the Korean culture (yes, you caught me... I meant especially with K-dramas😅🤭) There are both sweet and light-hearted moments, as well as more solemn ones. Everything is kept within a balance, so there won't be too much of anything. I would love to read your opinions, whether it be character or plot related. Therefore, make sure to drop a comment (or more 😁) and/or a review. Without further ado, let's begin our story! 😍
