Right now, the one above you is me, not that guy.

Dan Gyul, a strawberry farmer who’s been nursing a crush on the same man for 17 years, lives peacefully, seeing her unrequited love as just another part of life. But one day, a man shows up next door, almost like a crash landing. “Why are you named ‘Gyul’ but selling strawberries? That doesn’t make sense.” His words are rude, his attitude lighthearted, but he’s got a great face. His name? Ha Si-hyun—a strangely familiar face that turns out to be her childhood friend, a boy she used to play with. It’s a shock how the small, lovable kid has grown up like this.

Just as she tries to adjust, she wishes he’d stop disrupting her quiet life and just leave, but he keeps hanging around. “So, is your hobby having a crush? Specialty being a pushover?”

“What’s it to you?”

“Nothing… nothing, but… I’d like to make it my business.”

“And just how are you going to help?”

Si-hyun smirks, pointing at his handsome face.

“With a jealousy plan.”

Seasoned in unrequited love, Dan Gyul decides to play along with Si-hyun’s game. She figures it might just bring her closer to her crush. But as time goes on, Si-hyun’s behavior starts to seem increasingly strange.

“Ever ridden a convertible? Top down, 500 km drive?”

“I’ve ridden plenty of top-down tractors.”

After a random car brag:

“My house is huge. My wife just needs to bring herself.”

“Uh-huh, then you just need to find a bride who can tolerate your nonsense. Good luck.”

And then, in an interview with a magazine:

“I love tangerines. Especially biting into the last piece, peeled nice and slow.”

Throughout the interview, he throws her these suggestive glances from behind the reporter.
