Yuna fears what her brother will say when he finds out she’s living with Soohyuk, and she grapples with the changes brought on by her young nephew’s recent medical diagnosis. Meanwhile, Soohyuk is tied up working hours on end at S University Hospital, fending off the hospital director and his son, who can’t seem to leave him alone. As they build a new life together in Seoul, both of them help each other grow. Soohyuk encourages Yuna to open herself up to him in ways she never has before, and Yuna encourages Soohyuk to open his heart to the possibility of forgiving the family he once had and lost, who might be closer than he thinks.

“In Ryu Hyang’s opposites-attract story the descriptions of Yuna’s home-cooked meals—everything from omelet sandwiches to japchae—are absolutely lovely.” – Kirkus Reviews A heartwarming story of two people who were meant for each other. Soohyuk: a pediatric emergency medicine specialist. A man who never eats something someone else gives him. Soohyuk, the tyrant who rules S University Hospital’s pediatric emergency room.

He, a grouch to everyone aside from the patients, suddenly starts noticing a woman: the woman who feeds him. Yuna: a chef who makes boxed lunches. A woman who panics and collapses whenever she meets a man, due to trauma from her past.

And, somehow, she comes to be in charge of his everyday meals. When Soohyuk meets Yuna, a confident, surefooted woman who gets startled and scared when he comes near, he wants to know everything there is to know about her. “Did you collapse because you don’t like me? Or are you scared of men?”
