As the moms turned two laps and passed through the starting point one by one, Junghyeok placed his hand on his waist and silently watched a woman stumbling in the distance.
From the tenth position, they had now slipped to twelfth. Now, resigned to being 14th, they were having a showdown among themselves.
It’s astonishing how, despite panting and using their best efforts, they lacked athleticism to that extent.
Junghyeok clasped his hands and shouted, “Yuda-jeong! Fall down. Come slowly!”
“The mom’s boyfriend! Shouts jeers at his own team!”
With the vivid commentary of the host, Siwoo’s gaze moved diagonally upward. It was a look that said, ‘What will happen if you ask me to come slowly?’ Junghyeok lowered his gaze diagonally and made eye contact.
“Give up. You’re going to be last anyway.”
“As soon as I say it, Mrs. Yuda-jeong has passed through the starting line in 13th place!”
The host’s voice resounded loudly.
“Mr. Cha, Cha Junghyeok…!”
With a pale face, passing the baton, there was relief and ecstasy in her face for avoiding the last place.
Junghyeok bowed his head with relief and received Dajeong’s baton. Then, he started to run leisurely on the lane.
In the meantime, when he was overtaken by the last runner entering the finish line, the host clicked his tongue.
“The mom’s boyfriend! Did he give up the race like this?!”
At the moment when it seemed okay to run slowly, his long legs gradually accelerated.
Wow!!
The thrill of a reversal.
In the blink of an eye, surpassing the other dads, Junghyeok went ahead, and excited cheers spread across the stadium.
“Uh, what? The mom’s boyfriend! Suddenly rises to 6th place! There’s no separate Pegasus!”
“Cha Junghyeok! Hang in there!”
Even the surprised Dajeong yelled in amazement. Siwoo also cheered enthusiastically, not giving up.
“Uncle, win! Uncle, win!”
“One lap! Leaving one lap! Currently, Mr. Seung-ah’s dad is 1st! Uncle Kyung-jun is 2nd! And Siwoo’s mom’s boyfriend is 3rd! Will there be no more changes? Or can we aim for a reversal until the end? A thrilling race with sweaty palms! The last, one lap! What will the result be?”
Wow!
In the midst of the rising cheers, Junghyeok broke into the lead. In an instant, surpassing Kyung-jun’s uncle and even beating Seung-ah’s dad, he smoothly crossed the finish line.
“A twist has occurred! The mom’s boyfriend has passed through the finish line in 1st place!”
Junghyeok crossed the stadium, surrounded by enthusiastic cheers. Watching him stretch his arms and blow kisses towards the audience, one might think he won a gold medal at the Olympics just by seeing the loud ceremony.
Passing in front of the VIP seat, Junghyeok noticed something and stopped in front of the fence, pelvis broken. Then, hanging on the fence, he shouted as if saying, “Yeehaw!”
“Grandma! Did you see me get 1st place?!”
Looking at the face he liked like a child, Chairman Park smirked as if he were pleased.
The guy who had always been the best as if eating rice, what was so good about winning this kind of thing?
⭐️⭐️⭐️
『Part 1 of the sports competition has ended. We are thinking of having a bonus game using the break time soon. It’s a snack-eating game, and dads and moms who want to participate regardless of age and gender, please come forward with your partners.』
Junghyeok’s eyes sparkled as he listened to the host’s voice coming through the speaker, tilting his ears.
“Yuda-jeong, let’s do it.”
“Mr. Cha Junghyeok, won’t it be tough?”
Dajeong extended her hand with a face that looked like she was about to throw up. She was already worried about how she would compete in the finals after exhausting all her energy in the relay preliminaries.
“You’re not doing it?”
“I’m fine……”
『As it’s a bonus game! The winning team will receive a prize of one million won…….』
“Mr. Cha Junghyeok, what are you doing? Come quickly.”
The now energetic Dajeong was running towards the stadium.
『The game involves the dad carrying the mom on his back, covering his eyes, marking the target, and coming back.』
Couples listened attentively to the host’s explanation. The key here was how well the mom, on the dad’s back, could guide him.
『When the mom removes the blindfold at the destination, the dad carries the mom back to the starting line quickly, and both bite the stick snack in each other’s mouths as quickly as possible. The team that accomplishes this in the shortest time wins. If there is a tie, the team with the shorter length of the remaining snack wins.』
The couples on the starting line looked considerable. Since they were mostly from the upper class, most of them participated out of fun and competitiveness. Participants like Dajeong, who were blind to the prize money, were rare.
Dajeong, now lively, was already running towards the stadium with Junghyeok on her back.
“Mr. Cha Junghyeok, can you do well?”
“It depends on Yuda-jeong.”
Bang!
The starting signal rang. Normally, they would have run out like a flash, but men carrying partners on their backs and covering their eyes could only wobble step by step.
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!
