The brief but close time they had spent together felt as vivid as yesterday. Ji Na had tried hard to deny her feelings for Jin Woo, who was popular at school. To her, the distance between them seemed wider than the distance between Seoul and Busan.
“Yes.”
Jin Woo replied a beat late, his fingers tensing around the steering wheel.
“We were separated suddenly then.”
Back in the summer when Ji Na was a sophomore and Jin Woo a freshman, Jin Woo confessed his feelings but was rejected. Despite the potential awkwardness, Jin Woo always made an effort to maintain a friendly distance, not wanting her to drift away from him.
But his efforts seemed in vain when he abruptly left for the U.S., following his mother after her divorce from his father.
“I never want to be separated from you again.”
Recalling those times, Jin Woo murmured softly in a slightly subdued voice.
‘Me too…’
Ji Na almost responded but swallowed her words. In three days, Jin Woo would be leaving again, this time back to the U.S.
Certainly, the situation was different from the times when Ji Na and Jin Woo couldn’t communicate at all. Still, the fact that they would be physically apart was an undeniable reality. Just as Ji Na felt a bit downhearted about this looming reality, Jin Woo gently took her hand.
“I’ll call you every day from the U.S. I won’t let you feel lonely.”
Her heart swelled at his words, but Ji Na tried to appear nonchalant.
“Director, if you spend all your time calling me from the U.S., when will you work? The fate of the company is at stake.”
“That’s like breathing for me.”
Ji Na was momentarily lost for words at Jin Woo’s unexpected reply.
“Really, you’re too much.”
She chuckled and shook her head.
“We’re here.”
The car, having wound its way up a serpentine mountain road, stopped at the entrance to a dense forest.
“Here?”
As Ji Na opened the door, the refreshing scent of phytoncides, unique to the forest, wafted in. Around them stood nothing but trees, a testament to being deep in the woods.
“Follow me.”
Jin Woo, taking a carry-on from the trunk, led the way. A tree tunnel stretched for about 100 meters on either side, ending at an elegant, eco-friendly building.
“This is our accommodation.”
The building, seemingly deserted, was quite large for a single dwelling. Prepared in anticipation of their arrival, the interior was immaculate. The two-story structure had more rooms than expected.
“It’s huge…”
Ji Na looked around in awe, while Jin Woo, smiling at her, headed into the kitchen. The pristine, state-of-the-art fridge and kitchenware appeared never used.
“Wow!”
Ji Na gasped in amazement as she opened the window leading to the balcony. What she thought was a simple balcony turned out to be a spacious wooden deck.
Particularly, the stone jacuzzi filled with clear water and steaming gently, with a few flower petals floating on the surface, was extraordinary.
“Haha…”
Jin Woo, who followed behind, let out an embarrassed laugh, feeling a bit overdone. Beyond the deck was the lush forest they had just seen.
“Wow… Can no one else come here?”
There was no fence. Ji Na looked around, somewhat worried about intruders.
“Yes. It’s private property.”
“Private property? As in?”
Ji Na’s eyes widened as she repeated Jin Woo’s words in disbelief.
“Yes. Nobody can come to this mountain.”
Calmly responding to Ji Na’s surprise, Jin Woo pointed to himself and her.
“We’re the exceptions as the owners.”
What? You’re the owner of this private land? It wasn’t an ordinary pension. Ji Na blinked slowly in realization.
“So, this building too…?”
“Yes.”
Jin Woo nodded with a refreshing smile.
“I should bring some firewood for tonight’s campfire. It should be stored somewhere…”
Stepping onto the wooden deck, Jin Woo suddenly took off his top. Startled, Ji Na quickly turned away, only to sneak a peek at him after a moment.
Wearing only his beige suit pants, Jin Woo’s back showcased a perfect inverted triangle shape with sleek muscles. The sunlight cast long shadows across his well-defined muscles, creating a captivating interplay of light and shadow.
As he moved, the contours of his muscles flexed and shifted. Ji Na, entranced by the sight, found a smile creeping onto her lips.
A breeze stirred from somewhere, causing the densely packed trees to sway in unison. The fresh scent of the forest mingled with Jin Woo’s sweet fragrance, soothing Ji Na’s heart, which had been tightly coiled with anxiety and fear.
While gathering the firewood, Jin Woo suddenly looked up, his eyes reflecting the warmth of a hot summer day. As their gazes met, Ji Na’s heart began to beat uncontrollably, as if it couldn’t be restrained.
It felt as if time had stopped, leaving only the two of them in the entire world.
“I love you, Seo Jin Woo.”
The words flowed effortlessly from Ji Na’s lips, a confession of feelings she could no longer conceal.

“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
