Summary
By day, Gihun sits in an office. By night, he sits by the Steinway in one of Gangnam's most famous jazz bars and loses himself in the music, which has always been his first love. He spends the late hours of the evening sitting by the well-worn keys, letting his music speak to anyone who cares enough to listen.
Inho's life seems polished on the outside; he’s wealthy, smart and CEO of the company he inherited from his late father. However, hidden behind the mask of composure is a man who is broken, fragile and weak. Since his wife's death in 2018, he's locked every door leading to his heart, fearing he'll lose anyone who gets too close.
Then one night, on a whim, Inho steps back into the bar she once loved, and hears Gihun play. It's comforting, reassuring and warm all at once. It hits something buried deep, something he thought he'd shut away for good. And for the first time in years, Inho thinks he could feel again.

Summary
Seong Gihun finds himself as the homeroom teacher to Hwang Junho at Seoin High. And right next door is Seoin Elementary, where his daughter Gayeong is taught by Mr. Hwang.

Summary
"Hyung, you should be in love with Seong Gihun." Junho blurted out, his hands tightening around Inho's arms.
Inho furrowed his brows, "Who the fuck is Seong Gihun?"
Junho wakes up as a sixteen-year-old and remembers everything. The games, the blood, the betrayals. He remembers how Inho’s path to join the Games was paved with loneliness and bitterness.
He’s convinced that if Inho and Gihun had found each other earlier, they might've been able to save each other from the isolation and self-destruction that eventually consumed them.
However, the universe doesn't like being rewritten, threatening to snap back...
-------
Junho travels back in time, determined to play matchmaker, battling not only the timeline’s resistance but also Inho’s guarded heart and Gihun’s obliviousness.

Summary
“Why,” Gihun said, voice trembling with the effort to hold it all in. “Why did you let me live?”
Inho blinked. His smile faltered, replaced by confusion, “What are you talking about?”
“I said,” Gihun was on his feet before he even realized it, the chair screeching across the floor as he lunged across the table. “Why did you let me live?!”
Seong Gihun is in a weird place. He finds out that everyone is alive and never experienced the Games. He assumes this is the afterlife and realizes perhaps he can finally heal.
Then he meets Hwang Inho.
Problem #1: Inho's existence means this place isn't heaven. It’s real.
Problem #2: Everyone finds this Inho endearing. Even the stray cats.
Problem #3: Their friends think Inho is in love and Gihun is being stubborn, so they try to get them together. Which definitely isn’t helping.-------
Gihun is in a world where everybody lives but he believes the Inho here is still manipulative. So, he makes it a personal mission to be nice to everybody...
...Except Inho.

Summary
“In a city of nearly ten million, the chances of seeing someone again—someone you didn’t plan to see—are statistically insignificant. Roughly 1 x 10-12, if you’re being generous. However, emotions don’t care about probability, as hearts have always been horrible at math."
Bumping into someone once is a coincidence. Twice? Curious. But three times, especially in a city as big as Seoul, starts to feel like fate…or something dangerously close to it.
After crossing paths with the same mysterious man on more than one occasion, Seong Gi-hun can’t shake the feeling that the universe is working in mysterious ways. The stranger says little, wears a ring, and offers no name—but somehow takes up more space in his thoughts than anyone who ever stayed.
So, he does what any writer with a half-broken heart and a tight deadline would do:
He turns him into a story.
Through weekly entries in his newspaper column, Han River Hearts, Gi-hun documents each fleeting encounter, each tangled emotion, hoping that somewhere out there in Seoul, a certain “Mr. Big” is reading.
