Unlike the frozen boy, young Su Hee revealed her white teeth and smiled.
“Doing this will make it better quickly, right?”
“You! Really! Can a girl just kiss a boy like that?”
The excited boy yelled, covering his mouth with the back of his hand.
Young Su Hee confidently spoke to the shy boy.
“So what? We’re going to get married anyway.”
“My first kiss!”
As the boy exclaimed somewhat pitifully, young Su Hee retorted in a firm voice.
“It doesn’t matter if I’m your first or last.”
The moment young Su Hee finished speaking.
The boy’s face, which had been faint as if covered in fog, gradually became clear.
A deep breath filled Su Hee’s lungs at the sight of the boy’s face in her eyes.
The boy who had been staring at young Su Hee turned his head towards Su Hee who had been watching him.
Could the feeling of their eyes meeting be a misunderstanding?
Before long, the boy’s face clearly caught Su Hee’s sight.
The face she confronted was so unexpected, it left Su Hee pale.
‘…You are.’
“Ah!”
It was her first time waking up screaming from a dream.
Su Hee, not wanting to believe it, harshly slapped her cheek with her palm.
Thud, thud, thud.
It wasn’t her cheek that was tingling, it was her head.
She felt so dizzy, she felt like she would fall back on the bed.
This absolutely couldn’t be reality. It had to be a dream. It absolutely had to be a dream.
I, when I was young, I, had kissed a boy.
A boy named Seung Jo.
“Crazy! Crazy!”
Su Hee’s hands, which were holding her hair, dropped on the bed.
Su Hee tried to recall the face of Seung Jo who had appeared in her dream.
Surely, she had remembered the boy’s face clearly in her mind until she woke up from the dream.
It was such a shocking scene that she couldn’t forget, but her mind had turned completely blank as if nothing had happened.
“I’m sure our eyes met.”
Even the air she felt in the dream was so clear, but she couldn’t remember the boy’s face.
Su Hee reached out her hand and mumbled to herself while fiddling with her lips.
“Is this really a dream?”
A dream where young her and a boy appeared.
The conviction that it was not a dream but the past arose when what she thought would end once happened the second time.
“Ah, what should I really do?”
If the dream she had before and the dream she had now were both from her unconscious past…..
“Where could a boy named Seung Jo be?
Could he also remember the past?
What if… he’s really waiting to get married?
Seung Jo, who had just risen from his sleep, brushed his messy hair.
Seung Jo chuckled as he recalled the dream he had just had.
“It’s been a while.”
It really had been a while since he dreamt of his middle school days.
He spent quite a bit of time with Su Hee at the school playground.
Su Hee often visited Seung Jo’s school because it had a bigger playground than her elementary school.
Unafraid of older kids, Su Hee took over the playground with her friends.
After Su Hee left for Seoul and contact was cut off, Seung Jo didn’t dream of Su Hee anymore.
But could it be because he met Su Hee again recently?
Su Hee, who stole his first kiss without any warning, appeared in his dream.
“She probably won’t remember this.”
If she had remembered this, when we met again.
There would have been no need to ask if she was a fan.
There was never a time when he disliked the childish peck.
On the contrary, it was the reason he got excited every night and couldn’t sleep.
“I still remember it.”
If Su Hee knew he had been waiting for her contact every day, caring about the playful kiss, she might laugh.
“Will a kid not even thirteen remember what he said?”
He couldn’t answer the last question Su Hee asked on the plane because of the sedative.
The answer probably would’ve been ‘I remember’.
Seung Jo remembered the past that she had forgotten.
Always.
That evening, Su Hee, who had finished her schedule, was just fiddling with her phone in the back seat of the van.
She was already at the end of the day without making any decision.
Chul Yong got in the driver’s seat with an iced Americano that he had packed.
“Here, drink this.”
“Thanks.”
As she accepted the coffee, Su Hee watched Chul Yong fasten his seatbelt.
On second thought, it wasn’t necessary for Seung Jo to read the script. Someone else could do it.
For example, if it was Chul Yong who was closest to her, he would definitely agree.
If he asked why she needed a recording of the script, what should she say?
Should she say it would be nice to have a recording because it’s uncomfortable to read the script in a moving car?
“Brother, where are you going after you finish today?”
As he looked at Su Hee through the rearview mirror, Chul Yong scratched his head.
“Oh, I didn’t say because I thought you’d worry, but my mother was sick yesterday and went to the emergency room.”
Su Hee’s surprised voice got louder.
“To the emergency room?”
“Mom’s blood pressure management didn’t go well, so she struggled. She’s currently admitted, so I have to go to the hospital today.”
Chul Yong’s mother had been on dialysis for 5 years due to chronic kidney failure.
With the onset of diabetes this year, Chul Yong’s concerns were only increasing.
“You should’ve told me. If you had, I would’ve talked to the president to give you some time off.”
“No, it’s okay. I can’t disrupt the work.”
Su Hee couldn’t even imagine how frustrated Chul Yong must’ve felt, trying to sound cheerful.
She didn’t ask Chul Yong to record the script for her.
She could have the recording file created through another employee.
However, it was uncertain whether they could create a file as perfectly as Seung Jo, and every time the script was released and revised, she wouldn’t be able to ask for a new recording to listen to in the car.
[Do you need more time?] A message arrived from Seung Jo, as if to end her time of contemplation.Su Hee, who had been quietly looking at her phone, slowly moved her fingers.
[Can we meet now?] Ding―A reply came back right away.

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!
