Typing a short message must be quite a task for a fiveyearold. Despite that, it was quite impressive that he sent messages every two days.
Yu Si Woo’s usual time to send messages was around 9 PM. It seemed like he was sending them sneakily before going to sleep.
“Let’s go see the tiger. If mom and tiger uncle go together, it’s not allowed.”
They had promised to visit the tiger next time when they were returning from the amusement park.
He might not be able to keep that promise.
I miss you, Yu Si Woo.
He mulled over the letters that appeared on the text message screen over and over again. He viewed them repetitively, cherishing them like treasures.
As Jung Hyuk stared blankly at the phone screen, he impulsively left the office. His legs moved on their own due to the vague longing.
He got in the car with a lifeless body.
“Where would you like to go?”
“To the kindergarten.”
He stated his destination, and his gaze out the foggy window was vacant.
Even though days had passed since the unpleasant incident at the event hall, Yoo Da Jung hadn’t called him.
She wasn’t the type to make a call on her own, so he thought nothing of it. That’s why Jung Hyuk hadn’t called either.
There was no guarantee she would pick up if he called, and he had no idea what to say as the first word.
Above all, there would be no such thing as admitting defeat in that way. He didn’t have the slightest intention of doing something as pathetic as demeaning his own dignity.
Yoo Da Jung didn’t say anything. She did not deny Kwon Do Joon’s claim that she was the woman he was going to marry.
Liar. She had claimed there would be no marriage in her life. That having Yoo Shi Woo was enough. It was all blatant lies.
Yoo Da Jung was also a woman, and despite having long since learned the fact that women should not be trusted, he was again fooled by the cunning lies of a woman.
He wouldn’t see her. He wouldn’t see such a woman again.
However, Yoo Shi Woo was different. If he wanted to see him, he would see him, if he wanted to meet him, he would meet him. Even if not Yoo Da Jung, Yoo Shi Woo was rightfully Cha Jung Hyuk’s.
He knew better than anyone that he had made unreasonable claims up to this point. But the fact that Yoo Shi Woo was his was not unreasonable.
Because he was his child and part of him, he was rightfully his.
It was something that even Yoo Da Jung couldn’t deny, and it was an unchanging truth that couldn’t be exchanged for anything in the world.
The time of his arrival at the kindergarten was just before lunchtime.
His longing eyes stared beyond the cutely decorated windows.
The young animals were in the middle of a lesson. Children were chirping, raising their hands to the kind and gentle voice of the teacher. Yoo Shi Woo was among them.
A gratified smile quickly crept into Jung Hyuk’s eyes, which were emotionlessly watching. His tiny mouth opening and closing was very cute.
When lunchtime came, the catering staff pushed carts filled with trays into the classrooms.
Jung Hyuk silently observed the bustling scenes while standing alone in one side of the corridor.
Yoo Shi Woo was eating rice with childsized chopsticks. He was eating so well. He didn’t seem to be a picky eater either.
After finishing his meal, he got up holding his tray. He handed it to the catering staff and politely bowed.
A little later, when the catering staff said something, the children began to line up orderly with laughter.
The children each received an ice cream bar, which was served as dessert, and returned to their seats to peel off the plastic wrap.
Observing this scene, Jung Hyuk’s head tilted slightly.
Yoo Shi Woo made a troubled face and looked around. His little hand fumbled, but the plastic packaging wouldn’t come off, showing signs of difficulty.
At some point, the cute hand holding the ice cream rose upwards. Following the hand that had stolen his ice cream, Siwoo turned his head upwards.
He blinked his big eyes towards the tall adult and beamed.
“Huh? It’s Uncle!”
Siwoo, who had gotten up energetically, greeted him happily.
“Hello, Uncle!”
“Hello to you too, Yoo Siwoo.”
Chuckling, Jung Hyuk settled into a child’s chair that seemed too small to be of any use. After unwrapping the plastic, he held it out to Siwoo, who received it politely with both hands.
“Uh… Thank you!”
A small mouth began to suck on the vanilla ice cream dressed in chocolate.
The keenly following eyes traced the movement of the cheeks that were busily chewing.
Soon, chocolate was smeared all around his mouth. Unknowingly, Jung Hyuk stretched out his thumb to wipe Siwoo’s mouth.
As their eyes met, they both laughed, and the chocolatecovered Yoo Siwoo also laughed brightly.
Jung Hyuk silently leaned in to reduce the distance between him and Siwoo. He cautiously smelled Siwoo’s hair.
The scent of baby mixed with the sweetness of ice cream wafted around. It was so cute that he couldn’t help but smile.
He asked while watching him eat deliciously.
“Is it good?”
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!
