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. Deborah and Su Hyeok’s relationship started to become uncomfortable, so Deborah mustered up the courage to confess her feelings first. Su Hyeok still acted clueless about his feelings, but when he saw that Ju Wan had started pursuing Deborah again, he knew he needed to do something. He couldn’t imagine losing Deborah forever, and his thoughts were clear this time. He confessed his feelings to Deborah dramatically, just like she wanted. The two were an unusual couple, for they were very different from each other, and despite unfavorable conditions, they still got together in the end.

They were busy in their careers and were bound to become a typical married couple with no time for each other if they were to get married. Though it wouldn’t have been the same for both parties, as Deborah prioritized spending time with Ju Wan while he prioritized his work. Deborah would have become the wife waiting for her husband at the restaurant, and he wouldn’t show up because of urgent work. When Deborah caught Ju Wan kissing another woman, he gave the excuse that it was a mistake. He initially tried to reconcile with her but later started keeping his distance because he didn’t have time to make an effort. While Deborah was suffering, he was going out with another woman. If Deborah had agreed to get back together, he still wouldn’t have hesitated to two-time her. He was that dense and thoughtless. Deborah was too invested in Ju Wan, and she destroyed her pride to get him back. However, when she was finally over him, he tried to come back into her life just because he was jealous of Su Hyeok, and he was still going out with another woman. This time, Deborah rejected him without any drama because she had changed.
