12. Showdown Taking a deep breath in and slowly letting it out, he grabbed the phone he had set down inside the locker. He then turned his body to face the man. "What did you just say? I didn't catch that properly." "I said Ju Ha-rin looks fucking hot. She's got the kind of face that drives guys crazy to play around with." Shin-woo smoothed out his expression, which was on the verge of crumpling into annoyance, returning it to a calm mask. Right. They said he was this kind of scumbag to begin…-

11. I'd Rather Have You Standing "Ha... Wow... What kind of... Argh, seriously..." He let out a string of meaningless, empty groans one after another. Then, realizing he was still pointing his finger straight up at the ceiling, he snapped his arm right back down. His tightly shut lips twitched. "'Well then, bye'... Give me a break." The image of the woman smiling brightly and vanishing like a ghost flashed across his mind. "Phew... This nightmare of a woman shows up in my dreams just to mess with…

10. I Have Even More Confidence! Did something happen? Shin-woo closely studied her small face, but the woman wore her usual calm and composed expression. "What could you possibly need to confirm that requires waking up someone who's asleep?" As he asked with a tone full of bewilderment, Ha-rin took a deep breath, her chest swelling as she inhaled. Shin-woo's eyes—which had been fixed on her face—dropped down to her body. Only then did he realize she was still wearing the neat suit she had been…

9. Is She Trying to Kill Me? What is wrong with me all of a sudden? Shin-woo narrowed his eyes at the sudden, out-of-nowhere reaction from his body. And it wasn't just his heart acting up. A wave of heat flared out of nowhere and spread through his veins to every inch of his body in an instant. A searing sensation scorched his entire frame, giving him the illusion that he was struggling for breath. He was clearly lying still, yet his body felt as spent as if he had just attempted thirty consecutive…

8. Their Own Lights The meeting with the club officials attended by Cha Shin-woo wrapped up in just thirty minutes. Shin-woo briefly greeted the staff, listened to a short breakdown of the training schedule leading up to the start of next season, and then took his leave, mentioning that he was going to say hello to the players currently training at the stadium. Ha-rin stayed behind in the meeting room to face the general manager and the head of club operations. "General Manager, I assume you heard from…

7. A Man's Last Shred of Pride "Nuna! Wow! What brings you here? Do you have a meeting?" Unable to hide his delight, Ji-hyuk's smile grew even wider and brighter. "Yes. I came for a meeting. But I told you not to call me Nuna." "Ah. Right. I was just so happy to see you that I forgot. Sorry about that." Replying with a playful wink, Ji-hyuk's eyes suddenly rounded in surprise. "Wait a second. If it's a meeting... did you—I mean, Director Ju—decide to take charge of a player on our team?" Ha-rin…

6. Words That Sting Deep Inside Hearing another incomprehensible remark, Dong-goo stared at the man in the rearview mirror. Shin-woo was glaring out the window with a look that clearly said he was unhappy about something. "Should I pull over and tell Director Ju to get in?" Noticing that Shin-woo’s eyes were locked on Ha-rin, Dong-goo asked. "No! Why? For what? She said she doesn't want to!" Firng back rebelliously, Shin-woo whipped his head in the opposite direction. This guy is thoroughly…

5. My Feelings Back Then Thanks to Cha Shin-woo cooperating more obediently than expected, the interview got under way without any issues. Today’s recording was for a sports program hosted by a major Korean broadcasting network. Usually, the network brought on retired baseball players to conduct these interviews. However, last night, Ha-rin had requested that they swap the host out for a reporter instead. She wanted to prevent any unnecessary, prying questions rooted in school ties or personal…

4. A Real Dogfight ...W-What on earth did this woman just say? Caught completely off guard, Shin-woo froze, looking dazed rather than angry. Staring right back at him, the woman’s eyes didn't betray even the faintest tremor. If anything, they shone with even greater confidence. He clearly held all the power, so why did he suddenly feel so small? For the first time in forever, he found himself genuinely flustered by this insolent, unfiltered type of woman. Was he confident? Of course he was!…

3. If You're So Confident, Why Don't You Prove It? Ha-rin's morning work routine always started with searching for news articles related to the sports industry. The moment she clicked on the sports news section, her soft eyes hardened. Of all things, an unwelcome name was printed right at the very top of the article that first caught her eye. Last night, she had called the vice president—the person who had pushed her onto Shin-woo in the first place—and demanded an explanation for this absurd…
