Synopsis
College student Eunho pursues lifelong love for newly divorced neighbor Jaeha, who still sees him as a kid.
For Eunho Jung, there has always been one constant in life—his feelings for the boy next door, Jaeha Yoo. From a proposal at the age of three to a confession in his teenage years, the torch Eunho carries for the older man has never gone out...not even when Jaeha got married to a woman. With Eunho now in college, a chance meeting leads the two to reconnect, and Eunho will do everything in his power to make the recent divorcee his lover. There's just a small hiccup—Jaeha has only ever seen him as a cute and annoying kid... (Source: Yen Press)
