episode 1

"Sorry, but we don't hire men over 25 here." The restaurant manager told tae impatiently as he shooed him away.

As tae walked away listlessly,he overheard the manager mumble under his breath, "Who would want to patronize my business if I have an old and ugly waitress"?

Tae frowned slightly. He had half a mind to turn around and tell the manager he was only 22.

However, he stopped himself when he saw his reflection in the window beside him.His face had lost its youthfulness and the twinkle that once decorated his eyes had long since dimmed.

Emaciated frame, dry hair, wrinkled face and outdated apparel had added at least 10 years to his appearance.He realized he has grown into an old men in the past few years…

Even though he was really only 22!. Tae smiled bitterly as hardships from the last few years swamped his mind. As he dragged his tired body away from the spot, he noticed a car pull up behind his.

The arrival of an expensive Maybach wasn't lost on the restaurant manager.

"CEO Jeon , welcome, welcome!" the manager said obsequiously. tae abruptly stopped in his tracks.

"Jk , can you accompany me to go clothes shopping after this? Today's the new arrival date for the Chanel counter." Lisa said demurely as they descended from the car. Her hands were properly wrapped around JK's arm.

JK glanced at her and answered with a succinct "En!" The one syllable froze Tae to the ground!

Before he could stop himself, his head slowly turned…It had to be him…

Tae couldn't have predicted this was how they were going to meet after their divorce 3 years ago.He was so haggard, so down on his lucks.

He was still his collected self, high above the ranks of commoners.

Lisa beside him was also as elegant and dignified as she was 3 years ago.

The two of them did eventually end up together.

Then again, with him out of the picture, was it really any surprise?

"Tae?" Jk said when he saw him. Disbelief was plainly written in his eyes.Lisa's expression changed slightly and gasped,

"Oh my god, is that really you, Tae? What happened to you?".

Tae snapped out of his daze. he quickly turned his head away, muttering, "You got the wrong person!".Hastily, he turned to escape. There was no way he was going to face the two of them today.

No men would be willing to face his rich ex-husband and his gorgeous ex-love rival in such an abject state. Especially not after the two of them had gotten together!. The winner-and-loser comparison was simply too obvious.

Jk caught up to the escaping tae, yelling, "tae, stop right there!"

The moment his hand grabbed his arm, he screamed as if pricked by pins, "Let me go! I'm not tae, I'm really not!".he was completely focused on his struggles to get away from Jk that he didn't notice a car was speeding down the road. Finally, he struggled free and raced across the road.

"Tae, be careful!" Jk yelled but it was already too late. The car slammed into Tae.

Tae landed headfirst and was instantly knocked out. He descended into a long dream…
