That gaze that swallows me

For her, a man was never needed for more than a single night. Her parents forced her to marry a man to pay off their debt. Even so, she believed him when he said he loved her. She paid the price for that naïve justification three years later—through her husband’s affair and their divorce. She no longer wanted love, nor empty words of affection. Kwon Yuna, an art auctioneer divorced after her husband’s infidelity, meets a man one night in a bar and spends a single, reckless night with him. One night to satisfy a fantasy should have been enough… but unexpectedly, she becomes entangled with him again and is drawn into a relationship she can no longer refuse, as if pulled into a whirlpool. “Don’t be nervous. That night was just too good, that’s all.” She liked the emotional distance, even as their bodies burned together. Until the day he suddenly crossed that invisible line. “Sorry, but I have no intention of hiding my feelings anymore.” Kwon Yuna: a woman who no longer believes in love and has no desire to love again. Lee Chang-woo: a man who has loved her in silence for a long time and who has no intention of letting go now that he finally has the chance to hold her.
