The One [Chapter 109]

[Free talk: To the readers who are in the US, stay safe and warm. I read that it is really cold there.]

And, Eros is flying in the airplane. He recalls crying Angus saying that he remembered and Angus kept on apologizing. Recalling how Taylor, Berry, Angus and An Bai tell Eros to get Lele back, Eros thinks that finally, there’s no need to worry about Angus. It turns out that when he lost his memory, it has temporarily taken away Angus’ pain and hatred. It caused his twisted spirit to be restored at its purest state wherein he sees and believes that the people beside him love him. So now, Eros can now be totally at ease. Meanwhile, it is big news that Glenn came to hold a fashion season[?] in Taiwan. At a restaurant, Glenn meets up with Lele. Glenn says that it has been many years but he finally got on this trip. Lele tells him that it is because he is a perfectionist that there should be no little bit flaw that this kept on being postponed. Giving her an okay sign, Glenn says that the clothes, the entire season’s theme, and the whole working team are all re-positioned..[everything is] perfect! The only constant is Lele would be responsible for the opening and the finale [of the fashion show, I presume]. “Are you ready, my goddess?” Lele beams and says, “Of course!” At the magazine stand, Eros reads on Lele and Andre’s fashion show which states that they are passionately in love. The picture of their kiss is also there. While walking with Lele, Andre is playing around with Xiao Yu. Lele tells him that he’s spoiling her [Xiao Yu] rotten. Andre says that this kid should be spoiled. Lele says that every time he comes, he buys her a toy, and spend a lot of time to play with her so she’ll be quite miserable when he goes back..at least crying for a week. Andre laughs and says that it is inevitable for who made their Little Lele so cute. Lele exclaims that she’s called Xiao Yu. Andre says that he likes calling her Little Lele. From the bushes, jealous Eros is stalking them. At her apartment, Lele is relieved that Xiao Yu has fallen asleep. She tells Andre that she’ll carry her to bed and good job on accompanying Xiao Yu and let her play with him the whole day. Andre says that it’s no problem and does she always stay with her. Lele says pretty much for there is always a few days in a month when Xiao Yu stays because her aunt and her husband are workaholic that even if there is a nanny in the morning, there are times when they have to stay up all night working so they bring Xiao Yu to her place. Andre says that no wonder she is becoming more and more like a ‘good wife and loving mother’ and the way she carries Xiao Yu is quite gentle. “All the more I want to bring take you home for my wife! I really want to know what kind of expression you’ll have when you carry our child.” Lele scolds him that his brain fast-forwarded way too ahead. Andre tells her to quickly answer him then, whether or not, she’ll go steady with him. Lele looks flustered.
Lele wonders if the time has really come for her to let go. Lele says that she promises him that she’ll properly think about it. In her room, Lele starts to remove her ‘Angus’ posters. She thinks that three years is too long and she shouldn’t have expectations. The next day, Glenn calls Lele not to forget to meet up with the show director. Lele says that she’s on her way. Glenn tells her good luck. Lele wonders if Glenn really values this show, because it is always his assistant who would notify her about this kind of thing yet he personally called her. Today’s work is for her to go to hotel where the show director is checked in. The show director will be doing some silhouette painting of the models and this time around, some of the silhouette paintings will be laid out [/arranged] on the main stage. Upon arriving at the room, she is surprised that the door isn’t locked. She knocks and asks if anyone is there. Someone tells her to come in. The man tells her that she’s the last one. He asks her to close the door. Lele goes in the room and sees the other models’ silhouette painting. The man tells her to strip to her underwear and do a good pose in front of the canvas. Lele takes off her clothes and sits on the chair near the canvas. The man enters and says that didn’t he tell her to do a good pose. Lele looks behind her and is flustered to see Eros. While wiping his hand on a cloth and the two look at each other, Eros coldly tells her to how many times does he have to tell her, stand in front of the canvas. Lele stands up and goes in front of the canvas. Eros asks what is it, couldn’t she even make a pose. Flustered Lele wonders what’s going on. She made a pose. She thinks that even if the spotlight is hot, Eros’ stare made her feel cold. Lele is trembling. While Eros traces her outline on the canvas, Lele thinks that it felt intimate when his hand that holds the pen touches her body as it draws her curves but the way he looks at her isn’t a bit intimate at all. “On contrary, it seems like..he’s punishing me!” Eros says that it is done. Lele sighs in relief. Covering herself with her hands, Lele asks him if she can put her clothes on. To her surprise, Eros says of course not. She looks back and sees him holding her clothes. She shouts her clothes.. Eros opens the window and throws them out. Lele shouts what he is doing. Eros casually tells her not to think that she can leave this place, unless she dares to go out of the hotel in her underwear. While Lele is freaking out that he..he is.., Eros darkly says that’s right, he’s kidnapping her. He approaches her that Lele tells him not to come near her. Lele screams. Eros carries her on his shoulders. Lele shouts how come he likes to carry her on his shoulders and bring her here and there, it’s very humiliating. Eros throws her into the bed.
Going on top of her, Eros asks if she is afraid of being humiliated and isn’t it humiliating compared to what she did to him. Lele starts to cry. She covers her face and says that in the end, he is angry at her. He grabs her hand off her face and tells her to look at him. “You woman..you even have the nerve to cry? Of course, I’m blowing my top.. You actually dared to hide from me that you secretly gave birth to a child, and you would even go dating with some other guy along with my daughter!” Lele asks wasn’t he angry that she forced him to tell Angus the truth that caused that Angus and Young’s accident. Eros angrily shouts, “Of course not!” This made Lele look aghast in shock. She gave Eros a heavy blow on the stomach and shouts, “Then, how come you didn’t contact me for three full years! *Eros clutches his stomach* Do you know how much I blamed myself [for that]? How can you just not say a word and disappear for three years?” Eros shouts back that she said that she wants to break up. Puzzled Lele asks when she said that she wants to break up. Holding his cellphone, Eros says that it is when he informed her of the news that he has to live in seclusion with Angus, and then, this is her reply, so could it be that she is only casually saying that. Lele reads the message and recalls how her aunt said that she accidentally broke her phone. To Eros’ surprise, Lele says that it is definitely her aunt.. “But, that is also not important! It turns out that you basically don’t understand me nor trust me that you actually believe that I’ll just easily give up! And, your perseverance is only just this little bit.. *looks at him* With just one text, it made you not contact [me] for three whole years?” Eros looks flustered. He holds her crying face and apologizes. “I’m sorry.. but afterwards, I called your cellphone for almost a week and you didn’t answer, like that..how else would you want me to think [about it]?” Lele pushes him away and shouts, “I don’t care anymore! Anyway, your feelings towards me aren’t committed [/resolute]! What Andre said is right, a guy like you is basically not worthy for me to wait on! I won’t mind you again!” As Lele starts walking fast away from the bed, Eros asks where she is going when she’s only wearing that. Lele shouts, “Don’t even think that you can keep me in house arrest here! *Eros is surprised when Lele puts on a bathrobe from the bathroom.* I’ll let you see how a famous model can wear a hotel’s bathrobe and make it like a high class custom-made outfit! *takes her bag and walks out* Hmph!” She slams door at sweatdropping and speechless Eros. At the hotel’s reception area, Lele says, “Handsome, can you help me in calling a taxi.” Lele looks so gorgeous and full of confidence that the receptionists are all wow-ed by her. The others are saying that isn’t that famous model Lele, her outfit is like a hotel bathrobe, how can that be, that is definitely the latest fashion style, a bathrobe that is like a dress, it looks sexy with high heels, hubby I also want one.
By the time Eros emerges out of the hotel, Lele had already ridden on the taxi and left. Then, a man bumps into Eros. It is his unlucky day for he just got pickpocketed since his wallet is gone. At her house, Lele informs Andre that Eros has appeared. Nervous Andre says that means that the problem with Angus is already resolved, and does..he want to start all over again with her? Lele hits the table and exclaims don’t even think about it, for she still doesn’t plan on forgiving him. “Even if because of auntie doing that hindrance and caused a misunderstanding, but to be indifferent [/no news and not asking about her] for three years, that is too heartless! There’s eighty percent [chance] that he has a new flame at the countryside!” Holding her hands, Andre says that’s right, guys are like that, thinking that she broke up with him, he’ll definitely take this special opportunity to play around to heal [his heart]! Lele says right, she’s also thinking of that, he is definitely has so many country girls that he’s awfully busy! “Or else, disappearing for three years is too much! *Andre is surprised when Lele stomps on the table* Why would I painstakingly wait for such a rotten person!” Andre gives her a thumbs up and exclaims that’s right, she’s so cool! “Venting out your anger is always stronger than crying! *Lele’s expression softens as she looks at Andre* It’s true.. I’m actually always very worried that when you see him again, you’ll definitely fall apart! But, I’m at ease seeing you like this! You’re so much stronger than I imagined!” Lele is moved. She invites Andre to go to a hot spring for didn’t he always say that he wanted to try out Taiwan’s hot spring. “I’ll bring you to Beitou [district of Taipei]’s most amazing hot spring.” Soon, it is dark. Eros is sitting outside the sidewalk. Lele and Andre are happily holding hands and singing as they walk back to the house. They are shock when Eros suddenly appears in front of them and asks where they went at 3:30 in the morning. Lele shouts how come he appeared in front of her house. Eros timidly says that his wallet got stolen. Lele angrily shouts what does that got to do with her. Eros asks instead that for them to have fun so late at night, did they left his daughter alone in the house. The two are face by Eros ‘caring father’s fury’. Lele whispers to Andre that Eros think that Xiao Yu is his daughter, and let him misunderstand a bit to make him angry. Acting casual, Lele says that the place they went, isn’t suitable to bring a child so she left the child at her aunt’s place. Eros angrily asks a place not suitable for a child, could it be that she went to outside open store[?, probably a hotel].. Lele shouts that it has nothing to do with him. She tells Andre that they are going inside.
Then, she notices something. She looks back and shouts how come Eros is coming along. Eros timidly says that he got no place to go to. His ID, passport and hotel’s [proximity] card are in the wallet and he used up the cash he has in riding a taxi to this place. Pointing at Andre, Eros says, “That guy can stay at your house, then, I’ll also [stay here]!” Lele exclaims on what basis he is leaning on [as to why he has to stay there]. Eros says that the basis is he is her child’s father! Lele shouts that he has already abandoned them, mother and the child, for three years and he has no right to say those words! Eros is speechless and sweatdrops. Inside, Andre wonders if Eros really got his wallet and ID stolen. Lele exclaims that most likely, it is a trick [to win her confidence/trust] and even if it is true, there’s no need to mind him anyway, he is amazing as a bum, since that is his expertise. Flustered Eros sits down and sighs. Looking out the window, Andre says that it is already night, that guy is always sitting at the door and not moving at all. He asks her what she meant about Eros being an expert on being a bum. Lele says that is his usual hobby when he got nothing to do, and he was a bum when she got acquainted with him. Andre is puzzled. Lele says that at first, she thought that it is just for fun that he’s acting as a bum, and after knowing his past, she realized that he had experienced living a life wherein the streets is his home. For him to like acting as a bum, perhaps it is through it, he can constantly observe the dark side of the lowest layer of society. “It ought to be a way to remind oneself not to repeat that disastrous thing [/way of life] again, right?” Feeling defeated since he became an ordinary person, Andre says that guy’s life is really special that it unexpectedly gave him a feeling of ‘you lost’ and if he knew earlier, he would have stayed into a not man, not woman transvestite. Lele calls him an idiot for what’s up with that comparison. Two days later, Andre who went out to buy something passes by Eros. He tells Lele that he thinks that the situation isn’t quite reassuring for it seems that Eros really doesn’t have money to buy food. He says that Eros’ face looks haggard, his lips are dry and cracked, and very weak looking. “What will [we] do in case, he really dies in front of your house’s door?” This surprises Lele. Holding a sandwich on a plate, Andre comes out and tells Eros that he’s still really stubborn. “According to logic, you are my love rival, I actually don’t have the heart to help you a little bit! But, it is also of no advantage to me if you were to die of hunger here! Come and eat! Lele made this!” Just when Andre is holding down the plate to him, the sandwich slips and falls on the floor in front of Eros. Andre freaks out over this. The next chapter will be the finale. It will be out in Taiwan on February 5th.
Comment: And so, I will indeed get my grand fashion show of Lele with Eros directing..I didn’t expect it to be the finale though. ^^; I wonder if in some way Angus and Feidna are also joining. Is there anyone here studying psychology or anything related to that? Can you tell me if the thing regarding Angus actually happens in real life? It seems a bit unbelievable. Just like that, it’s okay already? Since it is like that, I guess for Angus, An Bai is indeed ‘the one’ for him. Apparently, Eros thought that Xiao Yu is his daughter with Lele. Well, Andre calls her Little Lele. ^^; That part is amusing if you don’t take the chapter too seriously. I think in a way, Eros has been infected by Angus’ bad side because of how awful he acted there at the hotel. I guess that is his ‘dark side’..and perhaps, like what was mentioned before, ‘a bit like his father’. Thankfully, after all the crying and harassment, Lele immediately recovers or else, that would be really painful to read. It turns out that Lele also feels angry over how easily Eros gave up just because of her aunt’s hindrance. Lele pretty much blew her top as if all her waiting and suffering is for nothing. Eros pretty much blew this opportunity ^^;; The way Lele walk out with the bathrobe, I think there is already no question on how amazing Lele is as a model. The receptionist are probably too dazzled by her and didn’t charged her for ‘taking out’ the bathrobe. ^^;; Ah, Eros is probably too stunned by what Lele did that she already left by the time he chased after her..and he is too depressed that he didn’t notice that his wallet is stolen. Ah, I’m assuming that since he lived on the streets before, he somewhat knows those kind of tricks that he can immediately stop such things from happening. I think Lele just needs to vent off some anger and steam, and then, she’ll forgive Eros. In a way, it really does seem that Andre is more like a friend than a lover for Lele because of their interaction. Regarding how he is goading her on, I somewhat remember Leo. Furious Lele is indeed better than crying Lele. In a way, this chapter shows how caring Lele and Eros be a parents..well, Eros can be a bit overprotective =P Somehow, I wonder how Xiao Yu would react if bum Eros suddenly insist to her that he’s her father. =P From the looks of things, it is currently, ‘make Eros suffer a bit’ before getting Lele back. In a way, I guess it is good that Lele still like Eros even if she is currently angry at him..I mean, won’t it be really creepy/scary if your ex-lover is going on hunger strike in front of your house if you don’t reconcile with him? Perhaps, that wasn’t his intention here but rather because he got nowhere else to go to? As a story, it is a catalyst to probably make the two reconcile..even if it seems to be a pity effect..or, showing how serious he is with her. Practically though, I wonder if that is a good thing to do..use up one’s remaining cash to go to the house of one’s lover whom you just had a quarrel with and thick-facedly/humbly ask for her help. I’m thinking why not call the police for help, or the US embassy if he is a US citizen, or even call Taylor to send some money or something..surely, he knows the number, right? If he has his credit card, I hope he got it cancelled. Because of such things/loopholes, it seems things are slightly rushed. I think the mangaka made a mistake with the pacing in this last arc. It would be better if she rushed a bit those Angus parts and focus more on this part which I think is more interesting to most, if not, all readers. Unless she doesn’t want to prolong the ‘make Eros suffer’ bit. ^^; Or at least, she could have made Eros look better in trying to win Lele back = more chapters, rather than how things are and make Eros look..sigh. I guess since making him look good was already done in Spain so, to make things a full circle, he is a bum again in Taiwan. Anyway, we can pretty much guess what’s going to happen at the finale = reconcile and fashion show..it is how it will be done which I hope will be great. ^^ Ah, since this series can do time skips, maybe the mangaka would put in a bit of time skip for their wedding or family?

  1. Thanks for the recap, Kat.
    Like you, i was wondering why Eros did not lodge a police report and have Glenn vouch for his identity. Surely a world class fashion director would be easily recognised even though he was not active in the industry for a few years.

    I felt quite incredulous when Eros assumed that Xiao Yu is his daughter. I was scratching my head, wondering how he came to that conclusion. My guess is that he's grasping at straws for a reason to reconcile with Lele. Cause given the situation, that child could be Andre's or Lele's "man-with-8pecs". ^^ It is quite ironic that he assumes Lele's "child" is his but does not equate it to her strong sense of loyalty to stick by him when Angus had his phase.

    I really gasped out loud, then laughed when Andre dropped the sandwich. Hahahahahaha. That's too funny. Eros could misconstrued it as Andre mocking him and TRY to pulverise him but given his current state, it's going to be like the time Lele force-fed him sushi which got him sick. And he tried to kick her out of his room only to wither away into a puddle. Lol.

    I hope Lele milk this situation for all its worth. Hee...maybe it's the sadist in me but i like it when Eros is at the mercy of Lele and she's her angry, confident self.

    Kat, will next month be the last chapter for The One? Cause like you, i'm hoping we get a few more chapters of Eros and Lele doing their push-and-pull thang. I loath to let them go. Their most entertaining when they're arguing with each other. Haha.

    Oohhhh....Lele in the bathrobe doing her strut; Spectabulous. And sizzling too. She really is her mother's daughter.

    Thanks again for the summary.

    1. Thanks for reading, Niki ^-^

      Ya..it makes me think that was a loophole.

      That's right..that was a bit contradicting.

      Yup, Eros might..Lol, that's a good one..maybe she might give him more sushi =P

      True..those scenes can be quite fun and yes, I hope there were more that's why I wished the mangaka focused more on this stuff rather than the Angus thing.

      Ya..she is indeed ^^

  2. thanks for the summary but i am more on eros side because if lele really loved eros so much then why would she first live with another man in her house and second even think about going steady with him...she claims eros would have had a lot of women in the past 3 years but who knows with how many people she had slept in order to forget about eros only to claim later on that she had still feelings for him-.-why should after this 3 years only eros suffer and not the stupid lele, too?^^ after eros said to her why he hasn't contacted her why didn't she said to him that she tried to get in contact with him, well i think she wanted that he contacts her because she didn't even try to contact him because if she tried then she would know where he is apparently he was in taylors mansion where she once was...

    so for me this kind of ending is a little unfair for the main guy because only he gets to suffer and suffering for the main girls is rare at the end of mangas manhwas and manhuas xD

      I assumed that she is letting Andre live in her house as a guest/as a friend. They did live together before for the shooting. I think in Asian ones, people would usually let their friend stay at their house when they visit their country as hospitality and it seems that Lele has a big house . Andre does not permanently stay at her house. He only stays when he visits her. I think he is still based in Europe.

      It is only after three years, when she thinks of going steady with him. She is tired of waiting for Eros with whom she has no news of. Also, that rant is a stereotype? of guys = they sleep around/flirt with other women after being dumped to boost their ego. I think Lele isn't the type to do that and it is really rare for girls to sleep around after a break up/forget someone. Do they do that now? At most, I know they cry, and go dating. Maybe if its those type of girls like Feidna. I also assumed that her grandmother didn't brought her up that way.

      I don't recall Lele going to Taylor's ranch. I would be hard on her if she knew Taylor's contact information but then, Taylor has a 'gag order' from Eros not to tell Lele where he is. Now that you mentioned it, that's right. How come she didn't contact him and only just waited for him to call. It seems that he still has the same number. Unless he texted her from a different number and her aunt destroyed that phone. If she does know his number, why not contact him rather than going to the US after three years with hopes of getting news about Eros. Guess that is another loophole.

      True, I would have it ended a bit better than that for Eros but then, from how Lele reacted to his actions, I think that is also the mangaka's point of view. I don't really pity him either since this happened after how he treated her at the hotel with that silhouette painting and roughly throwing her at the bed. I find that awful and if I were Lele, it would make me think twice - is this the person I would want to spend the rest of my life with. ^^;;

      Oh well, I guess it is because the mangaka made it this way for the finale = reunion of the couple. Some things in this arc is a bit..'unnatural' and 'not realistic'. ^^;

  3. OK, as a psychology student, I'll try answering your Angus related question :)
    Getting amnesia and regressing back after a traumatic event like that is indeed quite possible, especially for mentally weakened and a bit unstable persons (though, from my point of view, there are many aspects of the story which shows that Angus isn't necessarily like that throughout the story line), and, even though it's quite possible to heal oneself after an event like that, it's pretty much impossible to get back to normal just like that (chances of something like that happening in real life are statistically insignificant). A person would have to go through a lot of psychotherapy, not only in order to remember (which is only the smallest piece of the problem), but to learn how to deal with the pain buried inside of him/her and how to live in the everyday life together with what happened to him/her. Also, person needs to learn how to cope with other problems and segments of life besides the one in which the problem occurred, 'cause (especially in Angus case here) person does not get a chance to properly learn the social and life skills necessary to live as a regular person (and by regular I don't just mean non famous people, but all the people in the world), problem solving in real life would be an example of those skills, and the therapy and some kind of education are what is used to help the people with this kind of problems. Therefore, the whole Angus thing in last few chapters is highly improbable (I know it is written the the process lasted for 3 years, but those were 3 years of doing nothing, not 3 years of learning how to deal with the truth and move on and that is exactly what makes the whole story impossible).
    Hope my explanation helps you out a bit :)

    1. Thanks for the insightful explanation ^-^

      And, I guess in real life, he needs professional help to get through that. By the way, is it recommendable to make the 'patient' have no contact with any people indirectly related to the cause of trauma after getting amnesia?

      Delete
    2. Well it depends on the patient and it also depends on what is the goal of the therapy. If a person is trying to remember what happened to him/her (for example for crime solving) it is recommendable to as many people related to trauma. Although there are also cases when the contact isn't the best option. But, in the end, patient would have to confront all of the people related to the situation in order to 'heal' from the suffered psychological disorder. The question is when is the person ready for confrontation and that is totally individual and up to doctor and therapist to determinate :)

      Delete
    3. I see..thanks for the info ^_^

      So, based on your opinion, in Angus' case, is it okay to keep him having an 'amnesia' even if he is exhibiting post traumatic stress disorder? Or on contrary, it will only worsen the problem?

      Also, I'm actually thinking if it is advisable to not have Lele any contact with Angus in fear that she might trigger his possessiveness with his twin but not exactly the cause of the trauma. Added to the fact that he might not remember her..or only vaguely remembers her. Whereas, is it safe to presume that An Bai is okay because she totally doesn't have any trigger for any bad experience for Angus since their relationship was previously based on work?

      Hope you don't mind these questions. I'm just curious and it intrigues me. Thanks for answering my inquiries ^-^

  4. Thanks for the summary Kat!!!

    Poor baby Eros :(... he is hungry Ç_Ç and yet doesn't have money.

    Well, I understand both sides (Eros and Lele)... But how all of us know: next chapter both of them will reconcile and work together \o/.

    I'll miss The One a lot! It's pretty sad that a manhwa like "The One" is not too famous to a country translate it... :(

  5. Thanks for the summary. I hope Lele will torment him more since he deserves it because he didn't make any contact with her for 3 years! Lele didn't go sidetrack with other men or with Andre. Andre and Lele remain friends like they always be. Even Andre wants more than being friends, but I know Lele will end up with Eros no matter what.

    I think Eros assumes Xiao Yu is his daughter since Andre called her little Lele and she does look like Lele when Lele was around Xiao Yu's age.

    I laughed so hard when Eros's wallet got stolen because it happened to him exactly same way when Lele got her wallet stolen in New York = a man bump into them and they got their wallet stolen. It's like their role is reverted!

    It will be so funny if Lele appeared on the news with hotel's bathrobe since I am sure people took a picture of her since shes famous. Hotel will might be out of bathrobe because people will want it because Lele wore it.

    Eros need to work harder to get her back. He did it first time in the Spain, and he could do it again in Taiwan, but will he success this time? I know he will, but who know the managka decides to take a dramatic turn.

    1. are u reading the same manhua as me. he did contact her way before 3 years but her aunt answered him instead and said to give up on her. so it's her aunt fault mostly not eros he felt discouraged and didn't talk to her again. lele should also have contact him instead of doing nothing.

      Delete
    2. Thanks for reading, Tika ^-^

      Ya, they'll end up together no matter what.

      I also think that.

      Hm..that's right..it is a role reverse..go to the other party's home country and wallet got stolen.

      Hehe, that would be funny ^^

      Ya..whoever it turns out, hope it will turn out great for the finale. ^^

    3. Anoymous- He got discouraged over one text message. HA! if he really loves her, he will not give up over that text message! Come to think of it, Lele probably tried to respect their decision, and decide to not bother him because she believes that he will return to her! Beside why cant he contact her after one year because it was agreed that they will not contact or see each other for one year. Why didnt he come visit her in taiwan instead text her? He didnt do that when he went to Spain to win Lele back.

      Kat- I hope the end will turn out great.

    4. anyone would get discouraged after reading this message. i could say same thing to lele why didn't she contact him after one year eros did call her way before 3 years past but she didn't. she acted this way before too when the whole eros wanted revenge on mandy. it was all in the past and yet she treated him poorly and left him even though she promised him that she would never leave his side no matter what.

      Delete
    5. I would not get discourage after reading that text message. I will not give up without fight.

      Lele acted like this before because Eros treated her like a dirt!

      In chapter 59, Lele confessed her feelings to Eros, and he rejected her by said "I know" what kind of response is that?! He gave her a vague answer!

      In chapter 62, Eros almost raped her or ravished her too rough. After that, Lele shut herself in her bedroom because she was scared and shocked that Eros did that to her. I believe most girls will react to that situation the same way Lele did. He pushed her to the point that she wanted to forget him, BUT SHE DIDN'T BECAUSE SHE IS STILL IN LOVE WITH HIM!!

      After she decided to go Paris, and he asked her why didn't they stay being friends after she told him she will forget him? HA! after what he did to her, do you think she want to be friends with him? Heck no. She left because she wanted to focus on herself and career instead stay in New York for a man who gave her a unclear answer when she confessed. He didn't give her a proper way to closure the feelings she have for him. He made her confused. If I were her, I would do same thing she did. It hurts a lot when you stand by a person you love, but he/she doesn't love you back even though they know your feelings for them.

      During her staying in Paris, Leo and Lele still talk about Eros because she cares about him, and she is still in love with him. After he escaped from his father's grasp, Lele was willing to take care of him even when Taylor was there. She chose him after her career! WOW how often do you find a woman like that?! the chance is slim! After all of lele's actions to Eros, he finally let her enter his heart BUT he didnt tell her about Mandy which she found out from Feinda. It is a worst way to find a truth from others not from the one you love.

      In Spain, she got attacked by Angus which made her aunt wants her to severe a tie with twins. She didn't let her aunt to get what she wants, but she agree to not make a contact or see Eros for a year. Now tell me what did Eros had done good thing to Lele? NONE!!!!!!!! he put her a lot of pain. She went through a lot of crap because of Eros, but she chose to stay with him after he came back from his father, and gave him a chance after he explain the truth about Mandy, and even she got attacked from Angus she still wanted to be with Eros. So tell me how did Lele treated him poorly? hmm? All she did is left him. I know in the end she just want to be angry at him. After all, its Lele's aunt's fault because if she haven't send that text message to Eros. Eros and Lele will not be in this mess right now. I hope Lele will confront her aunt about it and give her a piece of her mind!

  6. Thnx a lot for the summary.. Aww, my poor bum eros :P i guess lele is making him suffer a little bit before she forgives him and as a lover she has the full right to do it ;) & after reading the summary , i am thinking that this story will end in a light note. n how can eros think that the little girl is his daughter? yeh, He can think that as he has full trust in his lele :D But Eros..are not u making a little mistake? ur daughter or son must be a little silver eyed beautiful(from his n lele) demon !!!! i wish i could see eros-lele's child at the end <3

  9. I am so happy to see a summary for The One, it was awesome. Thanks a lot Kat, but now I can't wait a whole month for the last chapter to come out, I'm sad and happy at the same time. I hope they reconcile early in the chapter and then they can show an epilogue of their happy family with lots of kids well at least that would be the best ending ever for me. Anyhow thanks again for the summary you're awesome!!!

  10. Thanks for the summary Kat.
    I think that the punishment of Eros is too extreme, he is not the only at fault in this story.
    It is true that he should have more believe in Lele and not to give up so quickly and completely but if we're looking for someone to blame, the aunt of Lele should be placed in head because if she had not intervened to destroy their relation the situation would have been different and Lele as well is not either outdone, she would have of try to contact Eros while knowing the burden he had on the shoulders at this moment there but she did nothing.

    To bear all the responsibility of these 3 long years of silence on Eros is unfair for me.
    And to make him feel guilty even more, Lele lets him believe that she gave birth to their child and accuses him of having abandoned them.
    When I see Eros on this bench during 2 days with haggard eyes I have the impression that he's thinking that if Lele doesn't forgive him he has nothing to lose and prefers to let himself die.. Poor Eros, life has not been soft with him.

    For the big fashion show that is announced, I wondered if Feidna would not do her appearance, don't forget that Lele had to speak to her.
    The final chapter promises to gather all these people on the podium.

    1. Thanks for reading ^-^

      True..and it makes me wonder if she couldn't contact him or something..and the mangaka wanted to make it dramatic or else, why would Lele have to personally go to New York to get news about Eros if she could simply contact him on the phone? It is illogical.

      Ya..and in a way, I find that pitiful..bordering pathetic. Sorry..it seems that way to me. That is like he is willing to commit suicide and make her go on a guilt trip for that. In a way, maybe SB!'s Kyouko way would be better = pester Lele to death to let him in by ringing the doorbell, knocking at night, etc..at least, it would be funny. I'm also wondering what is his goal for doing that..is it for Lele to forgive him or simply because he has no more money/place to go?

      Ya, I was thinking that Feidna might join and since it wasn't shown, I don't know if Lele talking with Feidna would make her change her ways or not.

  11. Thank you for posting this I am so sad that this is the second theo the last chapter! NOOOOOOOOOO. (Don't worry about us Americans, we just bundle up for the Winter.) I am liking this Lele (*u*)/ . I can tell from some of the comments that people don't feel comfortable blaming a male character for problems in the sorry even if they are the ones that are partly responsible. I think Eros and the Aunt are more responsible for the drama right not Lele.

  12. its not that we are not happy with guys say sorry but the aunt is mostly at fault she made him feel discouraged so when lele heard that from eros she should have talked to her aunt first not eros alone. he gets the blame all the times. and he's the one who is always suffering than most more than anyone in the story to me. lele should have contact him too but she didn't.

    1. True..but in their relationship, I tend to think that Lele suffer the most - always chasing after him, almost got raped even if it is fake - I think most girls would be traumatized by that, took care of him when he's 'high' even after that incident, got scolded for prioritizing him rather than her career, got attacked by his deranged twin and when she wakes up, he is nowhere around in respect of the other people's wishes for him not to see her, risk being scolded-whatever by her aunt just to sneak out after him before she got discharged from the hospital, told to wait for a year..opps, it will be an indefinite wait since Angus isn't well yet, jokingly? threatened to kill whoever if she falls in love with again, and, after meeting again, harassed to tears for secretly having his kid and being with his kid while dating someone else.

      Thankfully, they love each other, perhaps willing to move over their mistakes, and they have much better times together than the bad ones. Based on what I've mentioned, it seems that Eros' 'bad stuff' started when the series start to focus more on Angus, and their father. I let pass that 'fake rape' and he seems okay at that point in Spain..then,...sigh, I blame the mangaka for this.

  13. Thanks Kat, ooh I'm dreading this series ending! I'll miss it so much. I think the thing with Angus is kind of possible because of his accident, he might have damaged his brain, I don't remember what the doctors said.
    I love when they fight and it's great to see how far they've come from her being so naive and him so indifferent not as open. I hope she gives us a hint as what happens after (kids, marriage, Angus fate, etc.).

      I recall the doctor said that he is totally fine = no major injuries like brain damage, that is why they are puzzled why he won't wake up when Young is more injured than him.

      Ya..they've come a long wait. Hopefully.., ah about Angus, he probably stay at Taylor's ranch and live happily ever after with An Bai. =P

    2. Brain damage is not necessarily needed for a person to have symptoms like Angus did, in fact if it was brain damage he probably wouldn't ever be able to recover from it and get his memories back 'cause neurons can't heal or be replaced. His psychological and life problems are quite enough to 'cause amnesia or any other symptoms related (such as complete personality changes and regression to young age) that Angus had in the story :) Plus the whole not waking up thing that happened to Angus can be explained by severe depression (and my guess is that mangaka was going for that) 'cause it's already scientifically proven that sleeping for a long time/going to coma is on of the many symptoms of serious clinical depression :)

  17. One thing I don't understand is all the Ulysses love I see from fans. This is a man that basically blackmailed a vulnerable person, who is his son's age btw, into living with him and having a relationship with him. He FORCED Angus to stay by using his love for Eros. Never is Angus with him because he wants to be. He restricted his movements, told him who he could see and when he could see them. Even if Angus was there willingly, it was still an abusive relationship. Yes, I know he helped get Eros home and the twins free of their father, but that doesn't make up for all the other. I don't see how this is ok.

    1. Hm.. I cannot really say because I have read manga wherein the lead guy is like that = manipulative and possessive, etc.. I guess it is a bit twisted one-sided love = that is how he expresses his love and how he gets the object of his desire. Kind of proactive type and kind of 'bad boy' type? The bottom line is 'he loves him'.

      It also helps that he is sometimes portrayed as funny and silly. Well, he has his charm aside from the things you've mentioned. You know, something that clicks with readers/fans.

      Of course, that doesn't mean that it is okay to do those kind of things.

  18. Anonymous: your asking what did Eros ever do to Lele are u sure your reading the same manhua as me? eros did plenty for her from the begining until the latests chapters. who carried her when she fell a sleep in the living room in her house while her grandma couldn't? who helped lele when she fell on stage and she fell so embarrassed that she couldn't get up again cause everyone was laughing at her mostly angus? Eros did.she even became famous cause of what eros did.
    who confronted lele when she was sad about her grandma being at the hospital and she wanted to leave her job for her? he kissed her and gave her courage and hope.
    who made her happy again when angus didn't pay any attention to her. she saw him at the store with yang and angus said something to her that being the same. Eros did

    at first he didn't want her close cause he knows that shell end up getting her. he tried his best to push her away but she refused to so its not his fault if she doesn't give up on him.

    about mandy i didn't understand lele's crying about it? it was all in the past she shouldn't have felt any anger towards yin. she let feidna played with her feelings and she didn't trust eros. she knows almost everything about him and she said she accepts it all yet she complains now. she even said that she won't abandon him no matter what but she's doing the opposite of what she said.

    about her getting hurt all the times by eros or cause of him he pushed her many times away from him but she didn't listen to him but after they have become lovers she started to complain. shes such a strange person.

    many people have hurt lele whether they mean it or don't mean it.

    first she cried so much for her grandma when she died for weeks and she even starved her self to death.
    her aunt has become cold towards her just like eros.
    the photographer slapped lele cause andre told him to. he even caused her the burning on her shoulder.
    andre did too but she saved him and she forgave him.
    feidna did too about playing with her emotions.
    her aunt had hurt lele again by not telling her about the text message that eros had sent to her. she caused her more pain than she was in.
    everyone had hurt lele so no one has the right to complain abou eros they act like they are angles and he's the devil.

    1. i forgot to add more things he did for her also he saved her from the guys at the nick party who made her drink so they all can sleep with her.
      he saved her from his brother trap earlier in the series and even punished him for it.
      he even carries her on his back when ever she falls asleep. even though she's very heavy.
      angus even told him to throw her out but he didn't and said she's not a can or something like that. i don't remember what he really said.
      he let her sleep on his one bed at his work and even bought her breakfast and left her money for a cab and map so she won;t get lost again.
      angus complained why do u treat her so specially and told him that she's a good kid.
      he saved her from the horse while everyone just stood and did nothing to save her.
      he helped them by fixing the camera for them when it went down.
      he even gave her his lunch for her.
      all that and your asking what ever he did for her.

  19. Thanks Kat for the explanation of the chapter. Finally their reunion has come! It was more than time for that.
    Like you said in a preview post, the author has foscused too much on Angus and done an explanation on his recovery not very credible. I really wanted to see his repentence for all the bad things he made to her and to Lang. Now i'm feeling a bit frustrated. But i'm also very happy to see that Yin has decided to move forward with his life an decided to win his wife, true love, soulmate back again, even if their reunion began like that. I love this manhua and i think that N. Lee wished to show us her view of the meaning of what we call: True Love. The One here is the meaning of the true love by the characters of this fiction. Each having an ideal of the happiness to be in love. But in my point of view, and i join the mangaka on this point, the true love passes through time and space. In three years, Lele and Yin didn't betrayed each other with another person because of the strength of their feelings. This time, life gives them an opportunity to fully live their love, let's hope that thelast chapter will show that an epic reconciliation between those soulmates.

      Yup.. true, that is pretty much the concept I'm thinking that the mangaka is going for but indeed, that kind of reunion is..and based on the last arc, I don't quite see that. I wished for it to be a bit more romantic than that. It is already near the end and they are still quarreling like that. It also seems that the mangaka doesn't know whether to make things dramatic like things at the hotel or make it comedy - after the hotel incident starting from Lele in bathrobe. ^^; It comes to me as if it is 'off' due to the 'abrupt change of mood'. Rushing the reunion in two chapters?

      Oh well, probably a set-up for the 'real reunion' in the last chapter and hopefully, it is indeed epic + fashion show.

She offered to translate for them from Spanish to English but they refused.
