Romance Is a Bonus Book

On her wedding day, Kang Dan-i hides out in Cha Eun-ho’s car. After her divorce, she secretly cleans Eun-ho’s place while trying to restart her career.

Eun-ho is dismayed to see Dan-i among the job applicants, but she resolves to rediscover what she wants to do with her life and move on from the past.

Eun-ho demands to know what’s going on with Dan-i, who runs into Ji Seo-jun while looking for a room to rent and later receives a kind gesture.

Eun-ho can’t recall what he did the previous night. Dan-i stumbles across Seo-jun’s dog and agrees to have ramen with the new neighborhood friend.

Undaunted by the unscrupulous director’s bullying, Dan-i devises an idea for the new book. Dan-i and Eun-ho relish a day out with her first paycheck.

Eun-ho is perturbed to find Dan-i having a late meal with Seo-jun. Dan-i savors a coup at work that proves fleeting, and is thrust back to square one.

Peeved to hear Dan-i accepting Seo-jun’s sudden offer to go out, Eun-ho texts her while she’s at a bookstore on her date, but her evening hits a snag.

When Seo-jun makes Dan-i a curious proposal, Eun-ho protests and tells her it’s not what she thinks. Eun-ho and Dan-i reminisce together in the snow.

Eun-ho’s reply thrusts Dan-i into a daze, as it contradicts her memory of recent events, and she muses how a dog-eared book can suddenly seem new.

Dan-i’s confusion becomes worry when Eun-ho doesn’t answer her texts or come home. When he doesn’t appear at the office, she’s at a loss for what to do.
