Sori’s face, bright with laughter, resembled a blossoming flower bud. Seo Hyun Woo’s face mirrored her smile as he watched her.
With Sori seated on the desk, her gaze was slightly above his. He leaned his hands beside her hips on the desk, gazing intently at her face, their lips almost touching.
The bashful Sori, trying not to shy away, bit her lower lip.
He gently pushed her hair behind her ear and said in a serious tone, “Listen carefully. I won’t say it again.”
“…….”
As their eyes met, Sori nodded slightly.
“I’ll make you happy.”
You.
“I’ll cherish you.”
You.
“More than anyone else. The most in the world.”
Yoo Sori.
“I’ll, love you.”
His deep voice.
“…….”
Sori’s eyes widened, capturing every syllable. Her heart raced wildly, stealing her laughter with the overwhelming shock of his confessions.
Overwhelmed with joy, she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.
“Professor! I like you more! Much more!”
His soft smile scattered over her shoulder.
“That’s not possible. I have to like you more.”
His voice still tickled her every cell.
“You’ll have to like me a lot, a lot more to outdo me. Still?”
“Still.”
His certain, firm voice and genuine eyes felt surreal to her.
“It’s not a dream, right? I’m not still drunk?”
“Do you want me to pinch you?”
“Yes!”
Hyun Woo moved closer and playfully nibbled her ear, then her round cheek, and finally her lips.
“Ow! Ow! It hurts.”
Sori held her cheek, saying it hurt, but her face was filled with deep laughter.
She briefly felt the lingering pain from his bites.
Her throat tightened, goosebumps rose on her back, and her feet floated and dropped repeatedly.
She couldn’t stay still.
“Now, let’s quit playing house.”
He softly pressed his lips to her cheek.
“Let’s date, you and I.”
He kissed the other cheek.
And then.
“Let’s do it properly if we’re doing it.”
Suddenly, their lips met.
Their warm temperatures fused, spreading through every small cell.
It was an especially dizzying afternoon.
Dizzy from the leftover alcohol, his confessions, and intoxicated by his scent.
The May afternoon sun heated the research room intensely.
True to his nature, their entwined lips didn’t part until they were tender.
His arms securely around her waist, she struggled to support his sturdy body leaning into her.
Gradually pushed back, Sori reached out to steady herself on the desk.
“Professor.”
“Shh.”
As their lips met anew, he soothed her, tilting his head deeper.
Fully yielding to Seo Hyun Woo was overwhelming, but she welcomed it.
Truly, it was the beginning of love.
In the H&G Production Center, Suhyang, currently starring in a drama, was on her way to the waiting room for filming.
“Manager Park, after this, I should do that one-act play that came in,” Suhyang said.
“Did you finish reading the script?”
“Yes, I read it yesterday. I liked it.”
“So that’s why your eyes are swollen? It’s a melodrama, right?”
Manager Park, aware of Suhyang’s struggle to reduce the swelling in her eyes since morning, seemed to understand the reason now.
“It’s by an award-winning rookie writer. I really liked it.”
Suhyang had spent the night in tears after opening the script late at night.
“Hello, ma’am!”
As she walked and chatted with Manager Park, a tall young man blocked her path.
“Uh, who are you?”
She recognized his face but couldn’t recall his name.
“I’m Kang Woo. I briefly appeared as your youngest son in ‘Will You Marry Me?’ two years ago.”
“Oh… sorry. I can’t believe I didn’t recognize you. I’m sorry.”
“It’s natural, we only met a few times then.”
Two years ago was a particularly busy year for Suhyang. Remembering someone she had briefly encountered on set was difficult, but his name jogged her memory.
A very polite, cheerful, and lovely-smiling junior, he was someone she would have liked to have as a son.
“Are you here for a shoot?”
“Yes, we’re just wrapping up. I’ve been watching your current work as well.”
“A weekend drama? Not even a youth drama?”
“I’m a drama buff. I watch everything I can, even morning dramas.”
“That’s the spirit of a good actor.”
After exchanging pleasantries and acquainting themselves again, there was a brief awkward silence.
“Why aren’t you moving aside?”
And why is he smiling so brightly?
Kang Woo, still smiling in front of her, made her feel like she needed to say more.
“Kang Woo, was it?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Nice name. Did you pick it yourself?”
“It’s my real name. I use a different name for my singing activities.”
“These days, kids are so talented. Nothing they can’t do.”
“Thank you.”
“But do you need something from me?”
By now, it seemed like he might have a favor to ask.
“I’d like to get your contact. You gave it to me back then, but it seems the number has changed.”
“Yes, it has.”
Kang Woo politely handed her his phone.
Suhyang was quite pleased.
A junior young enough to be her son was seeking her out so affectionately. Who wouldn’t be pleased?
She happily entered her phone number into his phone.
“I really hope to work with you in a project. I want to learn acting from you.”
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.
