Assalamualaikum! :) "You can be mama's boy or you can be daddy's boy, but you can't be both."      I bought this book long time ago, when I went to that Big Bad Wolf Book Fair last semester. For I was so caught up with so many things before, I haven't had the chance to read it until now. (Hah, alasan!  :P) I even borrowed it to two of my friends before I even read it, haha.

He has no idea why he likes her which make it, yeah I know, super romantic. Well, probably. It is funny the way he tries to understand and verify the reasons why he likes her. He knows that Ra Im is no match for him. he obviously realizes that by being in a relationship with Ra Im could jeopardize his position as a president of the company...
