[HIATUS] In the Lion's Den
Description
"Surely, Life was mocking him..."
JUNG TAEKWOON gave his heart away five years ago to a 15-year-old girl he exchanged only a few words with. He swore that he would never see her again. Since then, Life has mocked him by keeping her around him, but in a safe distance. The more he tries to stay away, the more she appears in front of him. Her presence brings out a primal hunger in him that he tries desperately to sedate. As this hunger slowly takes form, he feels his sanity waste away little by little. That is, until someone else came into his life to help him retrieve his heart back.
YOO HYUNJIN longs to find a man who loves her for who she is, but never has the time to. On top of being the most sought-after novelist of her age, she has to take care of her childish twin sister who refuses to find a job. She despises Jung Taekwoon, the best friend of two of her co-workers at, "Fact & Fiction," the bookstore she works at. He never gets the idea to leave, leading her encounters with him to end in frustration and anger. What should she do when Taekwoon reveals that he is obsessed about her sister and figures out that Hyunjin herself has fallen in love with him?
YOO BYUNJIN has been an object of affection for the male population since high school. So, it's nothing new when she discovers that a hot guy has been stalking her for several years. She decides to ignore him, just to see how he would react. Nothing happens for the two weeks she observes him, frustrating her so much that she finally makes the first move, which ends in a comical disaster.

Foreword
CHARACTERS
~ Jung Taekwoon (Leo)
November 10, 1990 (23)
Description: Although he is athletic and handsome, Taekwoon is extremely introverted, rarely smiles, and has little tolerance for stupidity. What is ironic is that he is constantly involved in stupid situations, especially stupid situations caused by Jaehwan, one of his best friends. He would never have imagined that he would be obsessed about a certain girl. Why would something like this happen to him in the first place? He wasn't one to fall in love at first sight, let alone with a girl so cute and childish. She wasn't his style at all. Taekwoon is quite haughty, a bit rude at times, and cold, but these are just some of his endearing qualities. He has the ability to be a gentleman and when he is, that is when his charms are at their best. Living the comfortable lifestyle as a small-town singer/composer, Taekwoon wishes nothing more than to settle down and be happy.
Personality: Quiet, Haughty, Unpredictable
~ Yoo Hyunjin
November 13, 1993 (20)
Description: As the elder twin, Hyunjin feels the need to be protective over Byunjin, her childish younger twin. Although they are already in their 20s, Hyunjin can't help, but keep a watchful eye over Byunjin. Hyunjin has her fair share of hardships, such as taking care of her sister, working two part-time jobs, going to school, and paying for rent for their two room apartment. Apart from that, she also drives, therefore she has to pay for her car bills, along with her phone bills, and college tuition. Never in her life had Hyunjin imagined that she would have to endure these sorts of hardships at such a young age. Having had been an independent child since birth, she thought her transition into adulthood would be smoother. Obviously, that wasn't the case.
Personality: Sharp, Intuitive, Kind-Hearted
~ Yoo Byunjin
November 13, 1993 (20)
Description: As the maknae of the family, Byunjin has always been able to wiggle out of tough situations and depend on her sister for survival. Never having done anything strenuous in her life (other than breaking up with boys), Byunjin knows nothing about hard work. She is quite a princess, living a luxurious lifestyle under the protection and care of her older sister. She loves shopping, looking pretty, and giving off an air of being rich. Despite all of her selfish desires, she feels pity for her sister. She understands that her sister works hard to provide for the both of them and she wishes that she can do something to help. As the pretty younger twin, she is secretly hoping to return her sister's kindness someday.
Personality: Childish, Cute, Self-centered
