Synopsis

Translator’s note: The raws of this novel have been updated to a revised and enlarged version, meaning the content may differ at some points. As such, I will be slowly retranslating the novel in accordance with the new version.

Gong: Jung Haekyung (20→22) – An SS-Rank ability user who’s top class in both mental and physical type abilities. He’s radiantly beautiful, as if all the light in the world converged to create a person. Raised in the military since childhood, he exhibits a positive demeanour and is highly satisfied with his job. Public assessments describe him as strong, beautiful, and cruel.

Su: Kim Euijin (20→22) – An ability user who is immune to any and all abilities. However, even he himself was unaware of this fact before meeting Jung Haekyung in the bank. When standing still, he exudes a cold impression, so he makes an effort to come across as easygoing, regardless of his surroundings. After being dragged to S.E., though, things just wouldn’t go his way.

Read this when: When you want to read about the love-hate relationship between a spear and a shield, each pursuing their own distinct methods of love.

“In the Romance White Book, entry 107 states, ‘Every romance leaves its trace.’”

Height 183, weight 72, CSAT score 485, ability score 0.
Those were the familiar, adequate, and ordinary numbers that described myself, now twenty years old.

I was accepted into a university well above my grade level as an extra.
However, when I went to the bank to pay my tuition, I met a man who called me an ability user. An ability user who’s immune to abilities.
I scored a flat 0% in every category of the ability test, can’t even bend a spoon, and possess no combat skills whatsoever, though?

I didn’t know what use my ability would be in the military, but I became affiliated with the ability user group, S.E.
The only person who reached a hand out to me, someone who was dragged to an unfamiliar place and treated unfairly—

“Euijin-ah, do you know my name?”
“Jung Haekyung…”

Haekyung was as beautiful, strong, and kind as ever, but… the more time we spent together, the more something seemed…

“That’s why I called. You don’t like me, but I like you.”

“…What?”

“It’s fine if I’m the one to initiate a peck or a kiss, but… Someone in love forcibly kissing someone who isn’t—that can’t be considered a relationship, can it? That’s a crime.”

“……”

“The opposite is the start of a romantic relationship. I want our relationship to start in a romantic way, Euijin-ah.”

“……”

“I’ve heard that communication is crucial between lovers. From now on, you have to answer everything I say.”


Please do not repost or share on social media as it can catch the attention of the author and potentially get this taken down.


Translator's Note

Could be translated as “relationship” too, but I decided to use romance as it specifically refers to a romantic relationship. Relationship itself is too vague and could cause misunderstandings.

  1. At first I was like: OHHH A TREASURE! Sounds sweet!

    But then I read the warning and my fragile little heart was like: Not today.

  2. Is this the same author as Yess & Yes? I loved that novel, but this sounds like a BE, which my heart can’t take.

  3. It’s nice to take a break from sweet and happy novels and try out one filled with abuse.

    How many chapters is it btw? You seem to write your chapter numbers a bit weird. Is it like 1,2,3,4 and there are multiple parts to chapters so you also get 1,2, 2.1,2.2 and so on until chapter 18? I’m somewhat confused.

    • there are 18 chapters, but since its an epub variant of kr novel the word count for each chapter always ends up being huge, so i mostly split up the chapters into sections. thankfully, the only true behemoth of a chapter in this novel is chapter 2 and the rest afterwards are relatively normal length (unlike their other novel, which had like a 35k eng word chapter LMAO)
