So much for a boyfriend. More like a bonechilling exboyfriend.
“What are you doing here?”
Chanjeong, surprised by the appearance of Seolhee from the examination room, got up from his seat with a gentle smile.
“I couldn’t reach you, Seolhee. I was worried, so I came to find you.”
“What?”
Worried about her?
How could he be so shameless?
Cheating on me and then claiming to be worried about me? She wanted to run up and rip his smug smile off his face, but Seolhee swallowed her rising anger.
Hold it, Seolhee, hold it.
If she were to start a fight, it would become the talk of the town.
She couldn’t let strange rumors spread around the neighborhood and cause trouble at the animal hospital. Already, the waiting guardians, bored from waiting, were watching the scene between Seolhee and Chanjeong with wide eyes.
“Stay right here.”
Seolhee briefly went back and poked her head out. She asked the manager, who was keeping a close eye on the situation outside.
“Manager, could I step out for a moment?”
The manager nodded at Seolhee’s words.
“Go ahead. I’ll let Dr. Ok know.”
“Thank you, I’ll be right back.”
Then Seolhee glared at Chanjeong.
“Let’s talk outside.”
She dragged Chanjeong by the arm to a place out of sight from the hospital, let go of his arm, and glared at him.
“Why are you here? No, how did you know to come here?”
“I asked Inkyung.”
Inkyung, that… I won’t let her off. She clicked her tongue internally.
Seolhee, Chanjeong, and Seolhee’s friend Inkyung were all university classmates, so they knew each other.
However, Inkyung knew very well how much Seolhee had suffered and how miserably it ended, since Seolhee had cursed Chanjeong on the phone after the last incident. Why would Inkyung have told him?
Without realizing Seolhee’s inner turmoil, Chanjeong reached out his hand and pulled her into his arms.
“Don’t be mad at Inkyung. I nagged her. I’ve reflected on my actions. I told her all about how I feel.”
“……”
“Seolhee, so please forgive me. Let’s start over.”
Seolhee stared at him, blinking her eyes in disbelief at Chanjeong’s words.
“What are you talking about?”
“Alright, I’ll be honest. The team leader said she likes me. So, I… I might have used that a little for promotion. But it’s Team Leader Ido Young! I wouldn’t have seriously dated her. I was going to quit as soon as I got promoted and changed teams.”
“Huh.”
“You’re the only one for me, Seolhee.”
After hearing the whole story, she was even more astounded. It would have been better if he had just said he had fallen in love with the team leader.
She was too shocked to even be angry. As she was standing there, her lips twitching and unable to speak, Chanjeong began to babble excuses.
“Back then… my heart was momentarily shaken. I was an idiot.”
“……”
“I understand why you’re angry. And I’ll also understand why you were with another man that day. Let’s forget the past and start over.”
Seolhee composed herself.
“I have no intention of getting back together.”
It wasn’t just anger.
“And this is my workplace. It’s not a place where just anyone can show up. I’d appreciate it if you didn’t come here anymore.”
“Why are you being like this, are you still that angry?”
Even when they were dating, Seolhee always tolerated any unreasonable behavior.
They had been dating for a long time, and their friendship and trust were deep. But he had gone too far. She hadn’t known he was such a terrible person.
“Why would I get mad at you. What good would it do to get angry about a relationship that’s already over?”
“Do you really want to break up? Over something like this?”
He was flabbergasted at the remark. As Seol Hee’s anger began to rise, she bit her lip. Chan Jeong, too, furrowed his brow, possibly angry at the continued refusal.
“Yu Seol Hee. Think about it. Do you honestly believe you can meet a better man than me at your age?”
“What about my age?”
“Let’s be honest, we’ve been together for a long time because it’s me. You don’t have much going for you. You’re short. If you look at the conditions, I’m much better.”
At Chan Jeong’s insulting words, Seol Hee was dumbfounded, her mouth half open.
“What did you just say… Hey, Lee Chan Jeong. You don’t need to worry about me. And there are plenty of better men in South Korea than you.”
Even if I had to live alone for the rest of my life, it would be better than arguing with you like this. She was about to shout that out when Chan Jeong narrowed his eyes.
“Are you doing this because of that guy you were with at the restaurant last time? He doesn’t suit you.”
“What?”
“That guy, he’s too wishywashy. Do you think such a man would genuinely date you? He’s just playing with you for a while. You said so too. You weren’t dating him then. Someone like me is just right for you. Actually, it’s a bit of a waste for me.”
Seol Hee was not the type to get angry. It was also not familiar to her. But his words even made her lose her temper.
“What right do you have to decide if that man is playing with me? It was you who cheated.”
“That was just because I was worried about you.”
At the word ‘worried’, Seol Hee finally exploded.
“Don’t worry! I’m already dating that guy.”
“What?”
“He’s not just playing with me. We are dating with the idea of getting married.”
With that, Seol Hee smiled confidently.
Of course, screaming inside.
I did it.
I caused an accident…
That man and I are dating with the idea of getting married…
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
