REVENGE IS A DISH BEST SERVED COLD A single choice can completely alter one’s future—a truth no one knows more than Saeroyi Park, whose decision to stop a school bully exposes him to the harsh reality of money and power. Things go from bad to worse when his dad, who stood by him through it all, gets killed by the very same bully…and Saeroyi vows to take a life for a life. After his rash, rage-fueled murder attempt ends in a prison stint, though, a new plan kindles within him: open a restaurant, recreate the joy his father showed him, and cook up some proper revenge. And there’s no better place to do so than the neighborhood of freedom, diversity, and delicious food—Itaewon!

Out of the frying pan and into the fireSaeroyi’s yearslong plan has finally come to fruition, and he is now the proud owner of a pub in Itaewon. The only problem? He barely gets any customers! Enter Yiseo Jo, social media star, sociopath, and all-around teenage genius. After the two run into each other—literally—on a serendipitous night, Saeroyi lands himself in the hospital…and forms a life-altering connection. Because when Yiseo returns to Honey Night, she brings not only business—but trouble too, and heaps of it! With an underage pub patron, a tip-off to the police, and a brawl involving one of his employees, will Saeroyi be able to handle the heat?

Saeroyi has achieved his dream of opening a pub in Itaewon, but all is not sunshine and rainbows. After Sooah reports them for serving alcohol to minors, Honey Night gets temporarily shut down. To make matters worse, this leads to Saeroyi reuniting with his archnemesis, Geunwon. Still, Saeroyi’s not the type to get beaten down easily—especially not with the fierce and resourceful Yiseo now at his side!

The moment Saeroyi has been waiting for is finally on the horizon. His appointment as a non-executive director of Jangga Group will be the tipping point for his revenge. Except...when the time comes, the motion fails! Someone is working behind the scenes to thwart Saeroyi—someone who isn’t afraid to wield the secrets of Honey Night’s staff as a weapon. And with Geunwon being released from prison, will Saeroyi be able to survive attacks from friend and foe alike?!
