Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

1. 

The main character of the story, Lee Jinki. 

If someone were to ask Jinki what he hates the most, he could probably name a million things. 

For example, he hates people who hate chicken. He hates people who don't have consideration for others. He hates teenagers who don't get out of their seat for the elderly. 

Basically, it all boils down to Jinki hating people who are mean to others. 

But really, that would make him a hypocrite. After all, he doesn't seem like it, but he thinks he's a terrible, terrible person. 

What was the question? 

Oh yes, what Jinki hates the most... 

 

Most of all, Jinki hates the happy couples who feed each other cute snacks on the street, having no care in the world and who think that "love is enough to overcome any boundary." 

To Jinki, those are the stupidest people to ever exist. 

 

 

Meet Choi Minho. 

If one were to ask him what he wants most in life, he would probably answer with a steady relationship. 

Minho was raised in a loving, caring family and believes that love is the answer to everything. As long as a person has passion, and genuinely cares about others, they will live a good life. That is Minho's belief. 

 

 

So what happens when the loving Minho becomes attracted to his oh-so-cynical senior, Jinki?
