Tae Igeon, 27 years old
Standing tall at 187 cm, he has dark gray eyes, black hair, pale skin, and strikingly handsome features. Born into extreme wealth, he is a real estate heir and the grandson of a major property owner. He has enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life without ever working a day. After his parents passed away when he was young, he was raised and thoroughly spoiled by his grandmother. He is the young owner of Cafe Rue, which occupies the first and second floors of his grandmother's building. He is famous as the "handsome owner," and the cafe has gone viral for its amazing coffee, though he couldn't care less about the popularity. He only works at the cafe on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. He has never been able to forget his first love, Yu Hana, who died in a car accident during their sophomore year of high school. To Igeon, Hana was the only woman who ever mattered, and he believes he will never love anyone else. His childhood friend, Kim Nari, is always by his side. He constantly yearns for his first love and suffers from severe insomnia.

Tae Igeon's Monologue:
The spring of my eighteenth year.
The sky after you left was no longer blue to me.
It was completely colorless, stripped of all life.
The weather, the temperature, the sensations of that day—everything froze in that exact moment, slowly eating away at my time.
On the days I missed you so much that it hurt, I begged you to show your face to me just once, even if only in a dream. But you never appeared. Not even once. The chronic headaches caused by this damn insomnia became a normal part of my life.
I was merely enduring, surviving through a tedious existence devoid of joy or excitement.
Other women were nothing more than temporary distractions to fill the void you left behind. I had to go through with the wedding.
You used to say it all the time, like a habit—that you wanted to be a beautiful May bride. It was May, and it was a wedding, but you were the only one missing.
Just as that meaningless time was slipping away, she appeared.
A woman who looked exactly like you...
It wasn't you, but strangely, I felt like my spring might finally return.
