   A prodigal son returns after a period of infidelity. Does liking someone need a reason? What exactly is it about someone you secretly love? Perhaps she likes his good looks, but she's poor, ordinary, and unattractive, unable to earn money for tuition through part-time jobs. She's then bullied by the school beauty, who throws yogurt at her. Enraged, she throws it back, only to have her part-time job boss withhold her wages. She overhears the school beauty throwing yogurt at her and then being asked to marry her. Furious, she randomly picks a taller, more handsome stranger—who turns out to be her brother—and begs him to be her boyfriend, throwing yogurt back at both of them. Nothing is more painful than hearing him with someone else. He mocks her as an ugly duckling, and she jumps into a river in anger. He saves her, and they both lose their memories but are put to sleep by drugs. When they're found, the school beauty is furious and wants to kill her. Why did he save her? Her feelings become a mess. She was initially jealous of someone she didn't have a legitimate reason for being with, but now it seems like two brothers are fighting over her, a battleground of force and pursuit, a chaotic and desperate struggle. Who should she choose now?
