Summary
The Forbidden Romance of a Bride-to-Be Who Falls in Love with Her Best Friend's Son.
Just two months before her wedding, Sunwoo finds herself questioning whether she is making the right decision in marrying Jaesung and whether she truly loves him. Lost in confusion, she spends time at her favorite bar, where she meets Eunho, a new bartender. From the moment they meet, both feel an electrifying connection and cannot take their eyes off each other.
Some time later, Sunwoo is giving a lecture at the university, only to find Eunho, a student from a different department, sitting in the front row, staring intently at her. Seeing him makes her heart flutter. As they exchange small talk after class, their mutual attraction deepens, and they begin to exchange personal messages. Eventually, they even find themselves sharing drinks together.
Meanwhile, Sunwoo reconnects with her close friend Mijin, who is visiting Seoul after a long time. Sunwoo surprises Mijin by giving her a wedding invitation, and Mijin is genuinely happy for her. Mijin also shares her own exciting news: her son has recently been accepted to the university where Sunwoo works and shows her a picture of him. Shockingly, the photo reveals that Mijin's son is Eunho.
Sunwoo is overwhelmed with guilt over her feelings of excitement toward her friend's son. Yet, despite her inner turmoil, Sunwoo and Eunho cross a forbidden line one evening, finding themselves waking up in the same bed the following morning.
"What are we to each other?"
As Sunwoo teeters between anxiety and happiness, she receives an offer to become a tenured professor in the upcoming semester. As the wedding date creeps closer, the psychological pressure begins to take its toll. Wishing to avoid any scandals that could jeopardize her promotion, Sunwoo decides to end things with Eunho. However, she struggles to sever their intense connection, as Eunho pleads with her not to abandon him.
Amid this chaos, Sunwoo discovers that she is pregnant. Given her limited intimacy with Jaesung and their consistent use of contraception, there is only one possibility—the child must be Eunho's. Deciding to call off the engagement, Sunwoo prepares to face the consequences.
In the meantime, a photo of Professor Sunwoo and her student Eunho—appearing as though they are a romantic couple—begins circulating in the university community, sparking minor controversy. Sunwoo, consumed with guilt, thinks to herself, "I’m going to hell."
