Due to his large build, their bodies were almost stuck together.
As time passed, their confined bodies started to feel stifling. Strangely, it felt like he was moving even closer to her. Gradually, he started to lean his weight onto her, clearly doing it on purpose.
Unable to endure any longer, Dajung whispered almost as if she was shouting.
“What are you doing? Please, keep some distance.”
“What can we do about the narrow space? Be patient. If we’re found, you’re the one who’s going to be in trouble, you know?”
At first, he seemed confused, but now, he looked as though he was enjoying the situation. Dajung’s cheek was pressed against his firm chest covered by a shirt.
His heart was pounding loudly in his chest, which was stuck to her ear, and his body temperature was high.
It was only after a while that she regretted hiding unnecessarily, but she couldn’t guarantee what kind of misunderstanding might arise if they left now.
Feeling awkward about the eye contact, she considered turning her back to him, but decided that it would be just as embarrassing.
The trapped air gradually heated up. Even though he tried to make more room by leaning against the wall, it didn’t help much.
Outside the door, Dojun’s voice continued as he was on the phone.
The hot breath pouring down over her head was heavy. Soon, a small whisper echoed through the awkward air.
“Is Yoo Shi Woo doing well?”
Dajung’s expression stiffened.
“He hasn’t been in contact for a while…”
“He had to go on a long business trip.”
“Oh…”
She thought he was worried about Shi Woo, but it seemed that wasn’t the case.
A light smile tugged at the corners of Junghyuk’s mouth. His whispering lips tickled her earlobe.
“Were you waiting for him?”
“No, not at all.”
Dajung’s face reddened as she shook her head, causing her nose to brush against his chest covered by the shirt. It must have tickled, as his upper body flinched slightly.
“I thought you might be waiting. I was worried you wouldn’t like Yoo Dajung.”
“…I told you, I wasn’t.”
“Sure, if you say so.”
With a playful laugh, silence fell once again.
Summer. A confined space. And a man with an unusually high body temperature.
When all three conditions were met, beads of sweat trickled down her neck. Every cell in her body was boiling, making her feel strange even at this sensation.
“What perfume do you use?”
As always, he had a knack for making irrelevant remarks.
“Dae Jung’s mother doesn’t wear perfume.”
“Then the smell of shampoo?”
The sensation of his nostrils moving near her scalp was vivid. As if to stop this strange sensation, Dae Jung jerked her head away. As a result, she had to face his gaze headon.
The peculiar excitement arose from the gradually aligning gaze.
“I’m going to sue you.”
“Wh why all of a sudden? You said you wouldn’t sue.”
“Not for that. I’ll sue you for breach of contract with 6 days left.”
Dae Jung’s face flared up. His moving Adam’s apple repeatedly obstructed her view.
“Was it… that unfair to you?”
“It was unfair.”
A heavy breath fell. As she closed her lips, Dae Jung, unsure of where to rest her eyes, fixed her gaze on the man’s protruding Adam’s apple.
“Yoo Dae Jung.”
“Why… do you keep calling me?”
“Will you be my girlfriend?”
“Excuse me?”
Dae Jung’s eyes widened like a surprised rabbit.
“We will break up after just one minute.”
She was about to ask what the hell he was talking about when a large, hot hand tightly wrapped around her waist.
“I’m going to kiss my girlfriend for a minute.”
“Wha what, what are you saying!”
“Just one minute. If it’s more than that, I won’t just end with a kiss.”
“No!”
The abrupt lips cut off Dae Jung’s breath.

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!
