“Come here.”
The man’s voice was tender. Woo Yeon trembled as if she were a leaf in the wind. She hoped that he would remain oblivious to her shame until the end.
But to him, her scars seemed like nothing serious.
“Did you try to hide it from me?”
“…….”
“What are you so afraid of?”
“…….”
“Yoon Woo Yeon, won’t you answer?”
Suddenly, he had approached close enough to grasp Woo Yeon’s wrist. Tae Kyung quietly observed her thin arm, which was easily encircled by one hand.
He held her wrist more firmly and brought it to the center of his cheek.
“Does it feel disgusting?”
“…….”
“Do you hate me looking into your wounds?”
Her strength drained even from the ankles she had been firmly standing on. Woo Yeon held back the urge to cry.
“I hate it.”
“Why.”
“Because I wanted no one to know! I wished that no one knew what life I had lived. How I’ve survived. What thoughts brought me here. I didn’t want to be discovered as a person wrapped in anger and hatred.”
At her words, Tae Kyung chuckled. His wet hair from the shower half-covered his forehead.
Yet his dark eyes had no trouble looking straight at Woo Yeon.
He provoked her.
“So, how do I appear to you?”
“…….”
“Do I look like someone filled with nothing but anger and hatred too?”
Tae Kyung stroked her nape with his large palm. From the moment he decided to have Yoon Woo Yeon, there hadn’t been a single moment in her presence that wasn’t charged with emotion.
Regardless of what memories Yoon Woo Yeon carried from her past, or whose family she belonged to.
It meant the mass of his feelings remained unchanged.
He gazed into Woo Yeon’s eyes and said.
“So, you’re going to break up with me?”
“It was decided from the beginning.”
“No. Nothing was decided from the start.”
“It was all just an act.”
“Yoon Woo Yeon, don’t hide the truth. Weren’t we past pretending long ago?”
“This meeting, it’s not right.”
“Why?”
Left without more words to add, Woo Yeon hesitated.
Step by step, in reality, she should have distanced herself much earlier. Then, it wouldn’t hurt as much as it does now.
His stunning beauty was what incessantly shook her cool gaze.
At first, his face was just instinctively attractive, but now it held a value so great it could circle the earth and still remain.
But even so, she did not love this man.
Woo Yeon finally reddened her eyes. She knew tears streaming down her cheeks looked like the most pitiful form of weakness, yet she stubbornly insisted.
“Cha Tae Kyung, let’s break up.”
Tae Kyung barely managed to hold back his anger.
“Say that again.”
“Let’s go back to our original places. Both you and I.”
His fluttering black eyes eventually closed, as if submerged in a blue sea.
“Haah.”
He still seemed to be holding back his anger. Woo Yeon did not want to be engulfed in this moment.
She still desired and longed for many things, but love was strictly excluded.
I told you.
I don’t love you.
“Thank you for everything.”
“Yoon Woo Yeon!”
What he threw was unclear, but the mirror shattered loudly.
The reflection of Tae Kyung tore apart like a memory, piercing Woo Yeon’s heart. Yet even in this moment, she had to move.
She tried to flee, but soon found herself trapped in his embrace.
Tae Kyung’s heat, so intense it felt like melting, had not changed. Will this man always be as hot as the first day we spent together?
Who knows.
Certainly, here is the English translation of the provided Korean text, preserving the exact line breaks and formatting:
Is there anything in this world that never changes?
Facing her heavy expression, Tae Kyung bit his lip and said,
“Keep the promise you made to me.”
Woo Yeon shook her head.
“No. That promise is over now.”
“Do you really think so?”
“Yes.”
“Can you handle it?”
“…….”
Tae Kyung took Woo Yeon to the bedroom. Soon, she would cry, but at the same time, she would realize.
Yoon Woo Yeon could never leave Cha Tae Kyung.
One year ago, on that day, Woo Yeon was in charge of the main news program, News Insider, at the broadcasting station.
Although she had only been hosting the news alone for about three months, she seemed perfect in every aspect. Even the closing comments flowed smoothly without needing a script.
“Spring has arrived. It might not feel like it with the warm sunshine and wind yet, but it’s certainly spring. That concludes UBC’s News Insider. Thank you.”
In the control room, upon receiving a sign of appreciation from PD Park, Woo Yeon bowed her head. She naturally removed her earpiece and organized the scripts of the news she had reported that day.
“Anchor Yoon Woo Yeon.”
“…….”
“Over here! You still look great on camera, don’t you?”
Turning towards the familiar voice, she saw Seo Ji Woo, her colleague from her first year at the station.
Having suddenly married into a wealthy family last year and leaving her announcer position, Ji Woo looked much better than before.
When male lead is the homewrecker
“I know she doesn’t love him.”
I’ve read the novel below twice already. Girls, I’m highly recommending it to you!
The female lead? Not a good person.
The second male lead? Not a good person.
The male lead? Willingly plays the third party, breaking up the female and second male lead’s relationship despite all the warnings from his friends—so yeah, he’s definitely not a good person either.
Basically, nobody in this novel is simple-minded or without scheming.
The female lead starts off as the male lead’s secretary, but don’t worry—later on, she takes over the company while the male lead steps back to support her. He won’t steal her spotlight, overshadow her, or dull her shine.
I love novels where men are out here snatching wigs, tearing each other down, and going to war just to win the female lead’s affection. And this is exactly that kind of novel. Most of Hai Dai Ran’s works have this dynamic. You’ll see the male characters’ emotions being pushed to the absolute extreme.
There’s even a scene where the second male lead exposes the male lead online for being a homewrecker. The brotherhood immediately gangs up on him, dragging him through the mud. I find it compelling —it completely flips reality on its head, where usually, women are the ones fighting over a man and getting torn apart by the sisterhood.
For me, female leads in the novels I read should only struggle in their careers, not in love. But if the brainless romantics in the story are all men? I have zero complaints.
I’ve pretty much read all of Hai Dai Ran’s novels and even translated all of them—her works are just my thing. I’ll slowly upload everything here. One day, when my website is official, I hope I can invite her to join as one of the star authors.
Here’s the story synopsis:
One-line summary: She is his lifelong obsession, to the point where he was willing to be a third wheel, scorned by society, just to wedge his way into her relationship with her fiancé.
Cold-hearted and indifferent female lead + Scheming and subservient CEO male lead
Intro 1:
“I know she doesn’t love him.”
With blood trickling from his clenched fist, Rong Xiu gazed at the woman before him, his eyes clouded with anguish. Hidden in the wardrobe, he had witnessed Fan Xia – the woman he desperately loved – in an intimate embrace with her fiancé. Yet his heart still yearned for her, defying all reason.
Fan Xia, the elegant and composed assistant, carried something mysterious in her eyes whenever she looked at her fiancé, Wen Lan Sheng. Strange occurrences began to surface – secret meetings with the young Gu Jin Yi, an unexplained withdrawal of 5,000 yuan… Then suddenly, her fiancé’s sister, Wen Jing, violently attacked her.
In this matriarchal society, Rong Xiu had risen to become the chairman of a powerful healthcare conglomerate, breaking through gender prejudices. But for the first time, he willingly stepped into the shadows as the other man, disregarding his friends’ warnings to become her secret lover.
Because he had discovered the truth – Fan Xia wasn’t the pure angel everyone believed her to be. And perhaps, he was the only one capable of helping her execute her mysterious plan…
Intro 2:
Rong Xiu’s biggest regret in life was missing out on Fan Xia.
He secretly loved Fan Xia for 7 years.
Watched her go public with her boyfriend.
Watched her kiss her boyfriend at their wedding.
Until that man blissfully nestled in Fan Xia’s arms, obtaining everything he could only dream of.
The crazy jealousy stripped away his hidden secret love, layer by layer, burning like wildfire.
Fan Xia, how can I have you!
