Backstreet Rookie

Choi Dae Hyun once crossed paths with Jung Saet Byul during a late night errand, a moment that made a strong impression on her even though they went their separate ways. At the time, she was a rebellious student with sharp instincts, and he was a young man dealing with his own troubles. Their brief meeting ended quickly, but Saet Byul never forgot him.

Three years later, Dae Hyun is running his family’s convenience store and struggling to keep it afloat. Long hours and low profits push him to search for help. Saet Byul, now an adult and looking for work, appears at his shop and applies for the part time position. Her bright personality, strong sense of loyalty, and unusual mix of toughness and warmth quickly draw attention.

As they work side by side, Saet Byul’s long held feelings begin to surface, and Dae Hyun finds himself pulled into her world despite complications from his current relationship and his own guarded nature. Their growing connection unfolds against the everyday chaos of the store as they confront past misunderstandings, personal challenges, and the possibility of new love.
