the way i regret you - hwang hyunjin

"So if love's just a game, come and play,"

───────────୨ৎ───────────

Choi Yunah used to believe in true love. She was the girl who saw romance everywhere, who gave her heart without a second thought, and just wanted to be loved in return. But the world isn't a fairy tale, and high school proves to be a harsh reality check.

Tired of being a pawn in others' games, Yunah trades her hopeful heart for an impenetrable wall. She undergoes a stunning transformation, becoming the one in control- a confident, bold flirt who keeps everyone at arm's length. Her new life is a flawless performance, a masterpiece of casual friendships and no-strings-attached encounters. She's the life of every party, the friend everyone wants, and she's finally safe from getting her feelings hurt.

It's all going perfectly.

Until it isn't.

Hwang Hyunjin is your local professional player, a manipulative charmer who knows exactly how to get a girl to fall for him- and when to walk away. He's a walking red flag with a reputation for leaving a trail of broken hearts. And when a new college and a new city offer a fresh start, he expects every girl to swoon at his feet and fall for his game.

And they do-- without fail.

Everyone, that is, except for her.

Yunah wants to be immune, to see him as just another guy, but something about him makes her want to swoon just like everyone else. She fights the urge, refusing to let her feelings break down the walls she so carefully built.
