Return to Geumnak-ri

Summary

Every summer, she is tormented by nightmares of snakes crawling into her house. Like a dream that keeps chasing her no matter how fast she runs, a past she believed she had forgotten comes knocking once again. Living in Seoul as a cold, unflinching lawyer, she returns to her hometown, Geumnak-ri, for the first time in eleven years—using a redevelopment association dispute consultation as an excuse. Back to the place where the past she erased along with her father’s death still lingers, where the hollowed-out memories she buried remain. There, she finds a man who holds her past entirely in his grasp. Kim Sewon, CEO of Geumseong D&C— a man standing on the opposite side of her client, and at the same time, the one who left an indelible wound on Heejae. Every time she faces him, scenes she cannot tell apart as dreams or memories wash over her: red roses, an old side door, school uniforms, and a low voice calling her name. “No matter how many times I look at you, you’re really beautiful, Heejae.” “If I kill your father for you, what will you give me?” What exactly happened in Geumnak-ri eleven years ago? Why does he remember everything, while she alone has lost it all…? ----- ## Extra Tags ### #Amnesia #FriendsToLovers #PassionateMaleLead #UnrequitedLove #FirstLove
