Chapter 1: A Clash of Worlds

In the bustling city of Seoul, the corporate world was dominated by the enigmatic and arrogant CEO, Kim Ji-Hoon. His towering presence, seriousness, and ruthless demeanor struck fear into the hearts of his employees. A man of high status, Kim Ji-Hoon seemed to have it all, except for one thing - love.

One fateful day, as the autumn leaves fell, Kim Ji-Hoon visited a local university to give a lecture. There, he laid his eyes on a young man named Lee Min-Jae, a bright student studying business. Their eyes met, and a spark ignited as if from the theaters. Their worlds collided, and in that moment, their lives were forever changed.

Back at their homes, Kim Ji-Hoon's mother, Mrs. Kim, a traditional and stern woman, and Lee Min-Jae's grandmother, an old-fashioned and wise matriarch, would soon find themselves entangled in the drama unfolding between these two men. Mrs. Kim's friend, Park Mi-Young, would become the unexpected ally for her son, offering love and care as she tried to break through his arrogance.

As their relationship deepened, Kim Ji-Hoon's rudeness began to fade as he found himself falling deeply in love with Lee Min-Jae. Their smooching moments were passionate, like scenes from the most dramatic of love stories. But their journey was anything but easy.

News of their forbidden love spread like wildfire. Kim Ji-Hoon's family, unable to accept his relationship with a young man, began pressuring him relentlessly. His obsession with Min-Jae grew as his health deteriorated under the stress of secrecy and societal expectations.

Lee Min-Jae, too, found himself caught between a rock and a hard place. The pressure from his high-status family and the bullying he faced from his classmates created a rift in their relationship. Ultimately, he made a heart-wrenching decision to break up with Kim Ji-Hoon, leaving both men brokenhearted.

As the drama continued to unfold, other characters came into play, each with their own stories, connections, and conflicts. Graduation day loomed on the horizon, and the fate of our protagonists remained uncertain.

And so, this is just the beginning of a story filled with love, passion, drama, and the complex interplay of many characters. The chapters ahead will reveal the intricacies of their lives as they navigate a world that refuses to accept their love.
