Neung, the son of an elite family, falls for Poom, a girl with no parents, at first sight after coming across her at a party. However, Neung isn’t aware that the two share a history, but he’s forgotten her. When they were young, Neung looked down upon Poom for not having parents. Therefore, she profoundly resents him in the present day and rejects his dance offer at the party. Neung then decides to make Poom fall for him after the “embarrassment.”

His heart begins to melt as he gradually falls in love with her.
