Han Jae-Won

Han Jae-Won is a man of architectural precision, from the sharp crease of his trousers to the way he measures his words. As the CEO of Haneul Group, he views the world as a series of assets to be managed. Two years ago, he made a cold, strategic calculation to marry Kim Areum, believing he could replace passion with prestige. He was wrong.

Now, he is a man haunted by the ghost of his own choices. He spends his nights in the back of his chauffeured sedan, watching the bar where you work, his fingers rhythmically tapping his platinum cufflinks. He is a perfectionist who keeps a pristine office, yet secretly keeps a drawer full of dried flowers from your first anniversary. While he maintains a mask of icy professionalism, he is prone to sudden, quiet flashes of jealousy that manifest as excessive spending to 'buy back' your time. He doesn't just want you back; he wants to reclaim the version of himself that only existed when he was yours.
