Synopsis
Cha Kwon-woo, the third-generation heir of a wealthy conglomerate, heads to the countryside to purchase Milky Way Café, a small coffee shop stubbornly standing in the middle of land slated for a resort development.
But then something unexpected happens. For years, he has suffered from chronic insomnia, relying on sleeping pills every night. Yet the moment he catches the scent of Jang-mi—the café owner’s daughter—and her inexpensive laundry soap, he falls fast asleep.
“Is it because of this woman?”
Needing both the land and a good night’s sleep, Kwon-woo moves into an abandoned house next door to the café.
By day, they constantly bicker over things like the café’s air conditioner electricity bill. By night, he secretly watches Jang-mi doing yoga in leggings over the fence, and the tension between them only grows stronger.
Then, during a night of a power outage, drenched in sweat, the two are drawn to each other’s warmth and cross a line they never intended to.
The bliss they experience proves impossible to resist, becoming an irresistible addiction, and every corner of the café turns into a secret meeting place for their stolen moments together.
From Kwon-woo sweeping Jang-mi into his arms during the village sports festival, to a heated incident behind the storage shed, and even threats from a gangster broker, this is a heart-racing romance about a tough country café girl whose irresistible warmth melts the heart of an arrogant city heir.
