Kang Eun Ha’s lifelong aspiration has been to join the teaching profession ever since early childhood. She carved her own path, poring over books for hours on end without expensive cram schooling, just barely passing entrance exams through pure diligence to gain admission to her ideal college.
That is the reason why fans of the series are super excited to find out what is going to happen next time in the upcoming First Love, Lasting Hate Chapter 23.
However, crossing paths with an eccentric yet vaguely familiar classmate there would throw her world for a loop. This mystery student, Ha Seung Min, apparently held an infamous reputation for aggression and intimidation in the schoolyard.
Now decked out in stereotypical bookworm apparel, his dramatic outward reformation made Kang Eun Ha understandably dubious regarding any genuine inner change.
After all, a tendency to get emotionally invested in news related to Ha Seung Min persisted from their shared upbringing.
While no longer necessarily close, rumored first loves die hard. How Kang Eun Ha adapts to unforeseen connections resurfacing as her collegiate dreams manifest remains an unfolding adventure. Will she maintain tunnel vision on scholarly aspirations or allow echoes of the past to broaden perspectives? The next chapter awaits.
Recap and Review
Previously, Hee Joo openly confessed deep affection for Ha Seung Min, describing him as someone of great personal significance. In her flustered state, she directly stated her love for him. However, likely as a self-protection mechanism, she insisted no immediate answer was required and that she would cope with potential rejection.
We can infer Hee Joo rationalized this bold approach partly from Kang Eun Ha’s accounts of Ha Seung Min’s past troublesome behavior.
Hee Joo assumed someone with his history would have some romantic experience that made him open to dating advances. Yet surprisingly, Ha Seung Min reveals no such experience, catching Hee Joo off guard.

Hee Joo assumed someone with his history would have some romantic experience that made him open to dating advances. Yet surprisingly, Ha Seung Min reveals no such experience, catching Hee Joo off guard.
After Hee Joo’s abrupt confession, Ha Seung Min returns to apologize but must decline to pursue a relationship with her. He reveals to her that his affections already lie with another. Visibly upset, Hee Joo silently gathered her things and hurried off alone.
Meanwhile, Ha Seung Min heads to the library, expecting to meet Kang Eun Ha there. However, he witnesses concerning activity instead – an unknown man furtively attempting to unlock Kang Eun Ha’s phone, which she left unattended.
Just as Ha Seung Min intervenes, the alarmed thief tosses the phone upwards and flees the scene. Despite Ha Seung Min’s efforts to catch the phone, it crashes to the floor.
Spoilers and Expectations
United by this invasion of privacy, mutual curiosity in understanding the thief’s motives could organically unite them. Perhaps their guarded facades begin crumbling through small talk chasing conspiracy theories down library aisles.
Meanwhile, isolated in processing her heartbreak, Hee Joo seeks refuge from prying eyes. But having confided in Kang Eun Ha before, might she turn to her grounded wisdom once again?
Alternatively, with camaraderie no guarantee, Hee Joo may discover wells of resilience or perspective never known to transcend this crossroads alone.
