My Wicked First Love

“I don’t let women into my house unless they’re the kind I’d roll around in bed with.”

Cha Shin-woo is an incredibly talented baseball player—arrogant, ill-mannered, and full of himself because he knows just how good he is.

“If you’re going to keep coming after someone who already said no, you might as well sleep with me once.”
“My standards for the men I sleep with are extremely high.”

Into the perfectly composed life of a man who has always carried himself with pride, an unexpected woman suddenly barges in.

“If you’re so confident, why don’t you prove it?”

Ju Ha-rin is calm, fearless, and impossible to rattle.

“Are you born in the Year of the Dog? You seem to enjoy biting people.”
“You’re Year of the Dog too, aren’t you?”
“Exactly. So be careful. Push me too far, and you’ll have a real dogfight on your hands.”
“Don’t worry. I don’t bite unless someone provokes me. But I’ll keep that in mind.”

Where did this woman come from?

The more composed she remained, the more she got under Shin-woo’s skin.

“You never let a single remark slide.”
“Have you been trying to beat me all this time?”

For the first time in his life, Shin-woo found himself consumed by the desire to win—not on the baseball field, but against Ju Ha-rin.

He didn’t realize it then.

“I think I like Ju Ha-rin. No… I know I do.”

One day, his heart would become completely filled with her.

“Who said I wanted you to like me back? I just came to tell you how I feel.”

Nor did he know that a day would come when he would desperately long for her.

He also didn’t realize one more thing.

“Do you really hate being alone with me that much?”

In the end, when it comes to love, the one who falls first is the one who loses.

“I’ll do better. So… please don’t leave me.”
