Chapter 77.5
Sung Ho’s not the kind you’d typically expect to settle down in the countryside. He’s in his late 20s, ex-military, and…a single father with a year-old baby his ex-girlfriend pawned off on him. Jobless and without any prospects but a house, Sung Ho hopes the peaceful Nuldongmae village will make a good new home for him and his daughter. Rumor has it that the head of the village, despite his young age, is a real jerk… But he won’t have to deal with that, will he? But on the very day he moves in, Sung Ho clashes with a tall, good-looking guy who’s got quite the temper and accuses Sung Ho of stealing from his store. This new guy really gets on his nerves, but he does seem to know a lot about the village… Sung Ho’s always been a bit of a lone ranger wherever he goes, so will he be able to let someone else in his life for sunny days up ahead?
