Story

Prologue

After being dumped by his girlfriend, Dae-hyun (Ji Chang-wook) is approached by high-school tough girl Saet-byul (Kim You-Jung) who needs an adult to help her buy cigarettes, but she is rewarded with candy and a lecture instead. Thankful for his caring act, albeit somewhat sarcastically, she surprises him by giving him a kiss. They go their separate ways and do not see each other for a while.

Three years later, Dae-hyun manages his family-owned convenience store but is repeatedly forced to work multiple shifts that deprives him from getting any sleep and he struggles to keep up with the daily operations of the store due to his fatigue. Although high school girls like to come in and take pictures with him, the store doesn't make a lot of money. In order to keep his business afloat, Dae-hyun's father urges him to hire a part-timer to help him out with the store. With Saet-byul being the only applicant, Dae-hyun reluctantly agrees to hire her on a probationary basis.

Main story

Dae-hyun has been suffering due to his convenience store not making enough money and his family being unreliable to help him enough. After getting burned out from the store, he agrees to hiring a part-timer for the late night shift. Saet-byul sees the ad and she applies for the job to get close to him. Dae-hyun remembers Saet-byul as a delinquent and is prepared to reject her but relents after she brings in more customers. Not fully accepting her, he makes it clear she's on probation until she proves her worth.

While trying to make his business successful, Dae-hyun wants to advance his relationship with Yeon-joo; there has been interference due to mistrust and insecurity. Yeon-joo comes from an affluent family while Dae-hyun is just a store manager, and she is not prepared to introduce him to her family. Jo Seung-joon (Do Sang-woo) is a family friend to Yeon-joo and co-worker at the company. He always desired Yeon-joo, but she resisted his advances for Dae-hyun. The stability of their relationship will be tested after Yeon-joo meets Saet-byul.

Yeon-joo has heard gossip of Dae-hyun hiring a beautiful part-timer, but wasn't concerned until they met. While out on a date with Dae-hyun, Yeon-joo offends some delinquents and they intend to rob her until Saet-byul defeats them. After seeing her beauty and Saet-byul's affectionate gaze at Dae-hyun, Yeon-joo sees Saet-byul as a threat and wants her fired. However, Saet-byul's girlfriends defend her actions as saving Yeon-joo. Dae-hyun realizes Saet-byul is not a troublemaker; he convinces Yeon-joo to let the matter go. However, Yeon-joo's insecurities and misunderstandings between the two only intensify because of their closeness. Yeon-joo privately speaks to Saet-byul, asking her to leave to save their relationship. Saet-byul complies and tells Dae-hyun she's leaving for better financial opportunities.

At the most inconvenient time, Saet-byul and Eun-byul became homeless due to a real estate scam. It is also around this time that Eun-byul has the chance to become a pop star. Desperate to realize her dreams, she takes all of Saet-byul's money to pay for a fake parent to weasel her way into the talent agency, leaving Saet-byul penniless. She bumps into Dae-hyun's mom, who invites Saet-byul to stay with them. When Saet-byul realizes there was something happening between Yeon-joo and Seung-joon, she warns Yeon-joo she'll compete for Dae-hyun if she doesn't realize his value. Yeon-joo wants to repair things with Dae-hyun, but it goes south after she learns Saet-byul is staying in Dae-hyun's home. With Yeon-joo's mom shaming Dae-hyun's family for their poverty and lack of trust in their relationship, Yeon-joo breaks up with Dae-hyun.

Saet-byul feels she has inconvenienced the Choi family enough and moves out, but she has trouble finding a stable job and a place to stay. Her friends can only give her temporary shelter due to detractors seeing her as a problem; Dae-hyun's mom convinces her to stay with them for the time being. Dae-hyun rehires Saet-byul and promotes her to store manager. With Yeon-joo no longer in the picture, Saet-byul enjoys the opportunity to get closer with Dae-hyun. As they both work to make the store profitable again, Dae-hyun starts to have feelings for Saet-byul. Seeing how she never completed her high school education, Dae-hyun helps Saet-byul in her GED studies. Just as things are warming up between the two, Yeon-joo comes back into their lives.

Yeon-joo discovers the reason why Dae-hyun left GS Corporate was because Seung-joon encouraged him to take the fall. She feels guilty and wants to make things up for Dae-hyun, but he makes it clear he's already moved on and doesn't want to be involved with her. Determined to elevate Dae-hyun's position, she makes arrangements for Dae-hyun to meet Chairman Jo. The plan works and the chairman wants to make Dae-hyun a corporate advisor. Yeon-joo informs Dae-hyun about the good news, but he doesn't want to get involved with such matters ever again.

Meanwhile, Eun-byul has made her debut in the group Fancy Girls, but her career is under threat. The same delinquents that tried to rob Yeon-joo take compromising photos of Eun-byul; they demand she gives them money or risks the photos destroying her career. The delinquent trio intend to visit Saet-byul at the store for money, but they get scared when they see the police talking to her. Believing the law is looking for them, they decide to release all their footage to destroy Saet-byul and Eun-byul. News of the Jung Sisters catch fire through social media. The reporter that was investigating this matter gets frustrated as someone releases the news ahead of her; she piggybacks on the news and confirms it.

Their reputations are now tarnished; Eun-byul is forced to leave Fancy Girls and the locals fear Saet-byul. Dae-hyun believes in Saet-byul and advises facing the problem with honesty will fix everything. Inspired by Dae-hyun's words, Saet-byul finds the delinquents on their turf. She defeats the red haired bully and takes her cell phone. Saet-byul gives the reporter the phone and asks her to clear the names of the people involved in the scandal. Saet-byul meets up with Eun-byul after she left Fancy Girls in shame. Despite the wild accusations, Dae-hyun's mom offers them shelter. The reporter eventually publishes the truth, correcting all misunderstandings and Eun-byul returns to the group. Aware of the job offer at corporate, Saet-byul encourages Dae-hyun to accept the new position. However, he collapses due to exhaustion; HQ sends employees to help him manage the store while he's away, but the new staff doesn't get along with Saet-byul as Yeon-joo wants to get rid of her.

Dae-hyun makes his feelings clear he wants to be with Saet-byul but she wants to answer him once she gets the results of her GED. However, they can't help treating each other as boyfriend and girlfriend. Yeon-joo can sense the romantic development between the two and starts forming better relations with Dae-hyun's mom as a counter. Dae-hyun's mom pressures him to see a chance to get back together with Yeon-joo; he only accepts Yeon-joo's apology and leaves things platonic. Disappointed that he would squander such a chance, Saet-byul feels guilty that mother and son would fight over the matter. Saet-byul talks to Dae-hyun's mom, she fears for Dae-hyun's future and wants her son to have a better life. Although Dae-hyun told Saet-byul to not take matters to heart, she quietly leaves the Choi family with a farewell letter; she hopes Dae-hyun will have a better future with Yeon-joo.

Devastated over Saet-byul's departure, Dae-hyun is desperate to find her. With his friend's help, Dae-hyun finds Saet-byul working at a farm, on the city outskirts. Rather than pressure her to come back, Dae-hyun says he'll wait for her return. Dae-hyun will break the news to his parents Saet-byul left. Baffled at first, Dae-hyun's mom realizes her words pushed her away. Dae-hyun has a private dinner with Yeon-joo; he intends to resign and return to the store. He also makes it clear he won't take Yeon-joo back; this prompts her to resign from GS25 and take a job in the US for a fresh start. Saet-byul returns to Sinseong-dong and learns that she passed her GED exam and that Dae-hyun resigned. As on her first day at the store, Dae-hyun is hiring and Saet-byul comes in to apply. Saet-byul later answers his question (from his confession earlier) with a "yes" to being together. The story ends with Dae-hyun's friend declaring he will make their story into a webcomic called Backstreet Rookie and the two of them finally kiss.
