The Fruit of Love
The storm rages, but the real tempest is inside me. Iâm Han Seo-yeonâheiress, runaway, webtoon artistâand I just saw *everything*. Ji-hoon, the infuriatingly hot farmer next door, stood there bare, and what I saw wasnât human. It was a scandal of nature, a fantasy come to life, and now my brain wonât shut up about it. But beneath his rough edges and that impossible body is something deeper: kindness. I found the orphanage receipts. Heâs not just some grumpy country boyâheâs a man who gives everything to kids who have no one. Just like I ran from a gilded cage, so did he. And now weâre trapped together, soaked, shaken, and staring at a truth neither of us can name. Because the village whispers, the past hunts us, and our families? They already signed our names on a marriage contract we fled. If they find us, itâs over. But what if⊠I donât want to run anymore? What if I want himâhis secrets, his scars, even that terrifying thing in the towel? The storm will pass. But what happens when the silence breaks? Do I pretend? Confront? Retreat? Every choice pulls me closer to loveâor ruin.
