Description
At 21, Hyunjae has a secret partner. It’s a relationship that’s hard to explain to others—because their meetings revolve solely around s*x. The partner who indulges Hyunjae’s every desire in bed is Nanyeong. Though honest only between the sheets, this man hides much about himself. Yet, as their relationship continues, it feels like Nanyeong is starting to develop feelings for Hyunjae. Still, he never proposes a real relationship. Why is that? Why won’t he say he wants to be my lover…? “Hyunjae, we agreed not to get emotionally involved.” When Hyunjae tentatively reveals his feelings, Nanyeong draws a line, treating their connection as nothing more than a s*xual arrangement. He even offers Hyunjae a large sum of money, as if to soothe the pain of rejection with cash—almost like buying off his heartbreak. In the end, driven by his longing to be with Nanyeong, Hyunjae accepts the money. What exactly are we to each other? Is my body really all you want?

My Thoughts on We Are Not Lovers
"We Are Not Lovers" is a wild ride, a tangled web of complicated emotions and flawed characters that had me hooked from the start. This novel dives deep into the complexities of a relationship built on shaky foundations, and while it's not always a comfortable read, it's definitely a compelling one.
First Impressions
Jumping into this story, I was immediately struck by the raw honesty of the characters. They're not perfect, not even close, and their flaws are on full display. This isn't a fairytale romance; it's a gritty portrayal of two people grappling with their pasts and trying to navigate a relationship that's more complicated than it seems. The initial chapters pulled me in with their emotional intensity and the promise of a turbulent journey.
What Works Well
The strength of this novel lies in its characters. Both the MC and ML are deeply flawed, shaped by their experiences and driven by their insecurities. Despite their imperfections, I found myself invested in their journey, even when I wanted to shake them both. The author does a fantastic job of portraying their internal struggles, their misunderstandings, and their moments of vulnerability. It’s this depth that makes the story so captivating.
Areas of Concern
There's no sugarcoating it – this story deals with some heavy themes. One particular scene involving dubcon was a bit jarring, especially considering the MC's initial gentle nature. It raised questions about the direction of the story and the characters' motivations. How the author handles these sensitive topics and navigates the characters' development will be crucial to the overall success of the novel.
