The Scent of First Spring Rain: He Was Her Beginning. She Was His Second Chance

By Sergio Rijo

The Wounded Architect just bought the bakery that holds her heart.

Ten years ago, pastry chef Sol-ah Bae sacrificed everything-including the ambitious architecture student she loved, Han Joon-woo-to protect his brilliant future. She told him she was leaving for money. She lied.

Now, Sol-ah is fighting to save her beloved Busan caf , Gyeoul Gwa Bom, a sanctuary built on vanilla, butter, and quiet community. The problem? Joon-woo is back. He's the city's wounded genius architect, and his multi-million dollar "revitalization" project requires him to demolish her entire block.

Joon-woo won't just take her business; he's moving his temporary office into her caf to conduct "research," forcing them into a brutal daily co-existence where the scent of his cold cologne clashes with her warm baking. He thinks she chose money over love. She knows the truth is even more painful.

As a single touch reignites a dangerous flame, Sol-ah must choose: continue her decade-long sacrifice and let him destroy her life, or finally shatter her lie and risk destroying the perfect career she bled to give him.

He's here to build a future. She's here to save the past.

If you love Enemies-to-Lovers with a deeply emotional second-chance story, high-stakes family drama, and the yearning heart of a classic K-Drama, start The Scent of First Spring Rain today.
