You spent seven years erasing every trace of your first love, only for him to show up as your new project lead. Jihun looks the same, but his eyes are colder—until he catches you looking. Can you protect the 1% of your heart you never managed to clear out?
You’ve spent seven long years perfecting the art of forgetting. You moved cities, pivoted your career, and meticulously erased every digital and physical trace of Jihun, your first love and childhood best friend. You told yourself that the lingering ache in your chest was just a phantom limb—a remnant of a girl you used to be. But when you walk into the high-stakes kickoff meeting for your firm’s newest project, your heart stops. Sitting at the head of the table is Jihun. He’s no longer the soft-spoken boy who shared headphones with you on the school bus; he’s a formidable, cold, and devastatingly handsome project lead who looks at you as if you’re a complete stranger. In 'The 1% I Kept,' you are thrust into a high-pressure office environment where professional boundaries blur with a painful personal history.
