This novel tells the story of Sandy aka Han Soon-hae, Indonesian-Korean descent girl. She studied in Seoul and worked in a famous designer's boutique there. On one night in Summer, she did a grocery at a supermarket. There he met a handsome man named Park Hyun-shik and the man had accidentally taken the phone belonged to her due to the similarity of its shape, colour and ringtone. Sandy frantically trying to get her cell phone back. Sandy then went to the man's residence, and the house was owned by a Korean famous young singer named Jung Tae-woo, while the man who took her cell phone was Tae-woo's manager. Without knowing it, the experience at that night would reveal the secret four years ago and changed her love story.
Jung Tae-woo, a Korean famous young singer had reemerged into the entertainment industry after 4 years of vacuum, in case of an accident four years ago. In the midst of his return to the world of entertainment, there were rumours spreading that he was a gay. He was concerned that gossip will affect the sales of his new album. That's why his manager suggested him to take pictures with a girl, to break down the issues. When Sandy appeared in front of them, Park Hyun-shik was sure that Sandy was suitable to be a "lover" of Jung Tae-woo for some time. Jung Tae-woo was not aware, that the presence of Sandy would open the old case he had tried to forget.
Meanwhile, Sandy who unhesitatingly accepted Hyun-shik's offer to be a "lover" of Jung Tae-woo to get the "gay" gossip disappeared. Originally Jung Tae-woo unsuspected why Sandy immediately accepted his offer, while Sandy just told him not to regret his decision to get Sandy involved in his issue. The days of Summer, Sandy and Jung Tae-woo start as "lovers". The feeling changing was happening. Mutual interests appear between them. But both of them do not realize the truth of the story from four years ago was chasing them.
The important question was sticking out: since in the beginning of Sandy agreed the request for help Jung Tae-Woo, but it seemed she did not want to ask for anything in return. Is there a hidden plan in Sandy's mind? Who is sandy actually? Does Sandy has something to do with an incident of four years ago--an incident made Tae-Tae-woo decided to disappear from the entertainment world?
