In the spread-out silence like a blanket, Taejun finally lowered his shoulders. The scent that had made Soeun’s heart flutter covered her eyes with a large shadow.
Though afraid of darkness even more immense than darkness, there was an expectation.
He was trembling.
While pressing her hands, legs, and waist tightly, restraining her so she couldn’t escape, he felt a subtle tremor as if he were someone with something to fear. Oddly, that feeling was somewhat charming. So, in the midst of fear of the unknown, she wanted to embrace this man.
It felt like watercolor spreading from his lips touching the skin and fingertips brushing over the flesh. It was ticklish, stinging, and sometimes almost unbearable, but he wanted to squeeze even more. She wanted to know herself changing because of this man. Again, touching the air, he gently stroked her face and raised his head to passionately meet her lips.
As her lips parted, a new sensation awakened inside her body. A huge wave surged in her chest, overflowing with emotion, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Every time he moved, the charming sighs tormented him. He wanted to do everything slowly, but the stimulation she gave was so dizzying that holding onto complete composure was difficult. Somewhere, there was a popping sound like bursting tomatoes in the mouth.
I know.
I will ruin you a lot.
Even my current pitiful jealousy.
But I couldn’t stop. An intense desire for her to be completely his dominated him. It felt like blood was boiling and overflowing from a cauldron. Each time he imprinted his existence on her, a brief cracking sound like flames sprouting somewhere occurred.
From some point, she felt like she was sobbing. If she could see his face, she might have read his expression, understood his heart a little, but since she couldn’t see, it was frustrating. Even in her throat, something hot surged.
Thinking of that bastard. Unavoidably, it would be a comparison. He must have loved her a lot.
So, she didn’t want to ask. Because she couldn’t let her go even if she cried. She put aside considerations. She wanted to erase the traces of that bastard remaining in her mind. She wanted to cover all the memories with even bigger memories.
Gradually, as the sobbing subsided, cute squirming turned into a tantrum. Taejun became more intense as if possessed by that sound. It was her who never let go every time.
For a moment, he wanted to see her. He thought about just turning on the lights recklessly, but Taejun kept enduring, confirming her expression by stroking her face with his fingertips. While drawing the expression he felt with his hand in his mind, his heart was pounding somewhere, almost as if he would die from the fullness of his heart. Yet, on the other hand, he felt a constant thirst, and at this rate, he thought he might really die.
“…You’re insane.”
In an uncontrollable situation, an obscure voice unintentionally burst out along with a short curse. He was surprised himself, but he somewhat resigned.
Insane. Kim Taejun.
As if all the surrounding air had turned into water, like being immersed in water, at some point, breathing was blocked, and the chest was also full. Taejun thought he could die locked in like this.
Soeun put on clothes brazenly before taking a shower. Taejun found that hurtful and bothered her again. Soeun, unable to endure, let go of her mind after midnight. Unable to bear it, he couldn’t make her any more miserable as she quickly showered, put on clothes again, and lay down on the bed as if escaping.
Lying next to her, Taejun couldn’t sleep for a long time even after she fell asleep.
When he tried to cuddle for the second time, she complained that everything was on his terms, but in fact, it seemed that there was nothing according to Kim Taejun’s will. Now, just staring at her sleeping face was all he did. So, he kept feeling more greedy. He even felt desire from a sleeping woman.
You deliberately tried to drive me crazy.
Without delving too deep, he got lost in morality, touching her lips with his fingertips.
Is insisting on darkness your unique skill, or is it a desire that can’t feel anything unless it’s darkness?
Or is there some obscure point somewhere?
Anyway, you succeeded. That’s why I surrendered like this.
He never believed in the saying that he lacked experience. But now, he just decided to believe it. It seemed difficult to pretend not to know to this extent.
If her words were true, Yang Hee-wook surprisingly had a corner that resembled an adult. The expression “adult” on that greedy face was so terrible that Taejun shuddered for a moment.
If only he had returned a year earlier.
Now, it’s just regrettable. It took too long to recover.
“You left. You were mine.”
Taejun murmured quietly as if knocking on her dream, then closed his eyes.
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!
