Ae Doona is a 22-year-old recluse who has given up on her real-life to focus on her online personality as a relationship guru on Rebbit. Doona was a victim of bullying growing up, and this affected her in later years. As a university student in Seoul, Doona is withdrawn, has no close friends and is very antisocial. Her mother (Ae Mishil) thinks Doona can have a fresh start in Busan. The joy of her move is short-lived as she bumps into Sochun the very same day. Sochun was one of the boys that regularly tormented Doona while in middle school. When Doona agreed to relocate, she hoped Sochun had moved out of Busan, better yet, Korea. So their inevitable meeting was just as surprising to her as it was for him. As much as she resented Sochun, she always wondered what she had done to make him despise her. On arriving in Busan, Doona bumps into Chihun on the elevator. Sensitized by years of bullying plus a newfound fear of the opposite forces Doona to cringe and recoil when standing close to a man. She soon comes to trust Chihun, and likewise, he sees her as something more than just a nuisance. The two become close friends by healing one another's wounds. Doona finds out the details of Chihun's past relationship that caused him to lose interest in women and dating. Chihun learns more about Doona's convoluted past. All the while, Minji starts to realize that her grip and control on the men in her life is slipping and she decides to manipulate Doona so she can get what she wants. Doona might not be bright to her ploy, but with the help of her new friends, Doona can stand up for herself against yet another bully.

Doona got up to stare at an infuriated Chihun. "After we transform this dump into an apartment." He walked over to grab a trash bag. "You said it wasn't that bad." Doona cried out in embarrassment. "If you are Shrek, then it should fit you just right." Chihun chuckled dryly as he walked over to the oven. He looked carefully at it and assumed she must have hidden more boxes in there, so he reached to pull down the handle. --- Doona spotted Chihun at the oven, her eyes widened in horror, and she screamed. "Don't ope
"Really? Will you help me? Awesome!" Doona took a swig of her leftover champagne and rose to her feet. "Let me grab my laptop from my apartment. I'll be down soon." Doona strutted to the door, and Chihun called out to her."Maybe I should follow you." Doona turned around to see Chihun gracefully getting up from the table. His tight shirt stretched and contracted against his muscled skin; he picked up his hoodie and tossed it on, then he ran his slender fingers through his hair and began to walk towards Doona. The closer he got to her, the more her breath hitched."N-no you can't come!" Doona swung the door open quickly and ran towards the elevator. Chihun stared at her racing away from him, and the sides of his lips curled up.---Chihun used the stairs
"We were beating around the bush?" Sochun laid back on the couch and kicked his legs on the rest while crossing his hands behind his head."How's your sex life?" Dr. Mo dipped her pen in ink once again and positioned it above her notebook."Fantastic. On Monday, this model and I did it at the movies-" Sochun began speaking, but Dr. Mo let out a cough that cut him off."With Song Minji. Your girlfriend?" Dr. Mo added, and Sochun's expression twisted.---Chihun stared across his dining table to look at Doona struggling to open the champagne. She retorted to bitting the cork with her teeth like an animal. Chihun let out a sigh, and a yawn escaped. "Was this necessary?" He folded his arms on his broad chest."I've almost opened it." Doona huffed as she pulled on the cork on the bottle, but her hands kept slipping. "Just give me a second." She continued to bite at it. She looked back at Chihun, who wa
"I said yes, I want to contribute. Geez!" Doona yelled at Chihun before he could complete his sentence. Then she let out a huff and started stomping off. "For someone who is really smart, you can't even read body language..." Doona continued to shout as she stormed off. "Wear your glasses and stop pestering me." She got to an intersection and stopped, but she continued to tap her feet furiously. Chihun was initially surprised by her outburst, but he let out a chuckle at how frustrated she got.You shouldn't hold back with me, Chihun thought. "Just complain like this." He muttered with a quiet smile, then walked to meet Doona, who was now crossing the street with a giant frown on her small face.---"How is the relationship between you and your partner?" Dr. Mo spoke to Paek Sochun as he fiddled with her faux plants on her window sill. Sochun turned around to look at her, raised his shoulders, and walked back to the co
Doona let out a loud laugh, and Miri stared at her, confused, "I'm sorry, you just said something funny." Doona giggled, and her frame shook while Miri continued to stare at her perplexed. "I don't think Chihun cares much for all people. He's cold to everyone." Doona continued to laugh and walked past Miri.Miri clasped her fingers around one of her pigtails, and she squeezed it. "How can you say that when he was looking at you like that?" Miri muttered to herself. Then she turned around to show Doona to the check-outstation.---That was a disaster, Doona kept fumbling the checkout machine, and not to mention every time a male customer approached her, she would flee for her life. For a practice shift, Doona took fifteen minute breaks for every thirty minutes of work; her only saving grace was that Miri had to do inventory and was barely paying attention to her messing up. Doona pushed the changing room door open and
"We are a popular grocery store and one in many chains of the same parent company, so there is barely any bureaucracy on this level, to be honest." Miri tapped her chin, and when they arrived at their destination, she pushed the door of the changing room open. "This is the woman's changing room. The one over there is for the men." Doona nodded in agreement. Miri handed Doona a vest and store shirt. Doona collected the articles of clothing from Miri and walked into the room, but before she could change her shirt, she stopped and turned around to face Miri. "Miri. How many men work here?" Miri paused to think and responded. "Fifteen currently." Doona gulped, and Miri turned to close the door behind her; she cocked her head and muttered. "What a weird question." --- Doona was excited about working at the cashier, but it had slipped her mind that her customers would both be men and women. When she stepped out
Doona tried to calm herself down, she had to get back into a headspace of safety, and serenity like her therapist told her to do every time she felt out of control. Doona then smacked her cheeks softly. She strutted past Chihun towards the grocery store and stood in front of the giant sliding doors. She could not fall back into that dark hole, where her mind ran rampant, and she feared everything; she had an important interview, and even though Chihun was a capital A-Asshole, he had helped her with her resume. Doona stepped closer to the doors, and they slid open. "Doona!" Chihun called out to her, and Doona turned to look at him. A warm smile spread on Chihun's face as he said to her, "you look fine." His smile made Doona brandish a peace sign and a large smile too. Holding the resume papers in her hands she walked into the store courageously. --- Doona and Chihun walked into the sore a few feet apart from one a
"Wait! Now?" She hurried to pack while her mind raced around batting questions left and right. She wondered what she would say during her interview. Was she even dressed appropriately for this impromptu meeting?"Yes now. Hurry up and get out, I need to turn everything off." Chihun swung his bag over his broad shoulders and wore back on his denim jacket. Doona hurried to zip her bag and rushed out the door. Chihun looked at where Doona was seated earlier, and he let out a sigh. "She left her pencil case." He reached down to pick it up and paused when he noticed there was a sticker of a woman's face on it. He slowly picked up the case in his hands, and after he observed the case, he sighed again. "So she's Minji's fan."---Knock! Knock! Knock!A stylish woman, holding a drink in a Steuben glass, looks up from her laptop. Her desk is dotted with folders and papers with profile images clipped to each corner. She
"Why do you have a section in your resume called background history?" He tapped on the table, and Doona sat back down. She was beginning to think that Chihun, for a lack of better words, freaking despised her resume.Doona responded shyly, "I thought that the hiring manager would-" but she was cut off again by Chihun, who selected everything in the word document. Doona's eyes widened when she realized what he was going to do. "Wait!" She yelled at him. Before emailing him her resume, he told her to delete all the copies on her laptop, she thought it was to avoid having copies of the same file, this was his plan all along."Delete." Chihun let out a breath of relief, and Doona's eyes widened at the horror.---"How could you do that, after you made me delete all my backups," Doona yelled so loud, the unknowing people that passed outside their study room flinched. Chihun did not pay any attention to her squeals &
