Deborah And Su Hyeok
The main couple here were like best friends to each other before they chose to take the next step in their relationship. However, it didn’t start with the same affection. Su Hyeok didn’t like Deborah and her working style. He didn’t like the fact that she called herself a dating coach, and he believed that she was a superficial person. This was all before he even met her. When they had to work together on Deborah’s book, Su Hyeok had just started thinking that he might have misjudged Deborah, but then his then-girlfriend broke up with him, and it turned out that Deborah had suggested she do so. Deborah knew Su Hyeok hated her, but she was so busy concentrating on herself that she didn’t pay attention to him. However, she caught Ju Wan cheating on him, and Su Hyeok was also a witness to it. She started feeling insecure about herself since then, and somehow, Su Hyeok was the only one who could comfort her since he was going through a breakup too.
The hatred soon turned into friendship as they understood each other and let go of their preconceptions about each other. It didn’t take long before the friendship started blooming into something more, but neither of them was ready to name them. Deborah realized that she had started liking Su Hyeok, but she was too afraid to get her heart broken again. That’s why she continued to think that they were just friends. Su Hyeok, on the other hand, didn’t understand his own feelings. He felt affection toward Deborah but couldn’t label it as love. He had always been bad at understanding and expressing his own emotions, which is why his ex-girlfriend had also broken up with him.

If Deborah had agreed to get back together, he still wouldn’t have hesitated to two-time her. He was that dense and thoughtless.
