“Do you think my brother might do that, he might give in to our dad. So, if he really just gives in and gets married, oh how dreadful! I can’t let such a situation happen, no way.” Ji Woo suddenly gulped down cold water, as if just thinking about it made her hot.
“A strange woman might come in and mess up our house. It’s not just in dramas or movies that these things happen. So, the person who’s going to be my brother’s wife must be someone I know well.”
“Yes, you’re right. Reality is often more like a drama.” Like when I had that absurd experience not long ago.
By the way, I didn’t know the professor had such a history. Even if the hospital director was indifferent, it seems he was concerned about his son’s marriage.
Sori recalled the things Hyun Woo had said to me.
Apparently, he had proposed marriage to me, who seemed to need a guardian right away, because marriage could be done with anyone, not just me.
Hyun Woo also knew well what kind of person my mother was.
Now, all the pieces of the puzzle fit perfectly.
Above all, it was refreshing to know clearly why he had suddenly proposed marriage.
Ji Woo kept rummaging through her phone’s photo album while eating a scone.
Sori felt an odd sense of urgency.
She should have said she would think about it to Hyun Woo, not regretting that she should have answered quickly.
“At least you’re the person who’s seen my brother up close the most. Plus, you’re going to be our new sisterinlaw, so of course, I thought you should see it together.”
“New sisterinlaw?”
“Yes.”
Ji Woo was more serious and bright than ever.
Ji Woo showed Sori the picture displayed on the screen, listing main occupation and body measurements.
“Found her! This sister is a KL exclusive model. I met her at a fashion week, remember? Her face is a bit of a trendy mask, right? But her vibe was okay. The reason I ranked this sister third is because she seemed surprisingly pure.”
“You, you’re not one to easily trust people, Ji Woo.”
My friend, they say it’s darkest under the lamp post. Do you really not see me?
“You know me too. I don’t trust people easily. The only people I trust in the world are you, my brother, and our dad.”
“Right. I know.”
Yes, I know well. My friend, why am I not in your options?
Swallowing the feeling of being left out, Sori looked at the picture with narrowed eyebrows.
Her eyes are too slanted, they look bad?
Her cheekbones stick out too much, her impression seems too strong.
Not sure why only the bad points stand out and no good points can be seen, but that’s how it was in Sori’s eyes.
“She’s impressive with a model’s mask, but she looks a bit strong, doesn’t she? But there’s a rumor that this sister has a good personality.”
Sori’s gaze was again fixed on the picture on the phone that Jiwoo handed her.
The woman’s face was dazzlingly beautiful, her body slim, and a confidence that seemed to burst from the screen.
That woman and the professor are getting married?
Absolutely not!
As Sori’s expression appeared unpleased, Jiwoo brought out another picture.
“This sister is a drama scriptwriter. You know that drama too, right? The blockbuster from last year, ‘Answerless Husband’….”
Sori didn’t listen to Jiwoo’s story at all.
She was just thinking, why would the heavens give her such a trial by mistake?
Perhaps, they intended to gift her with Seo Hyun Woo as a husband.
Neurology department.
She had completed the ward round with the professor safely in the morning, and the afternoon ended with preparing for the head of the department’s surgery.
During her work, she occasionally ran into Hyun Woo in the ward, in front of the operating room, but he was indifferent and calm, as if dealing with other residents.
But every time, the women in the pictures that Jiwoo had shown her floated up beside his face.
“If it’s a marriage that has to be done anyway, I can’t give in.”
Although he doesn’t like me, this was definitely an opportunity that should not be missed.
Now, the reason why he wants to marry me wasn’t important.
Sori, who was looking at the sky as if the sun was about to set, clenched her fists tightly.
She quickly turned her body, and walked out of the department.
Taking advantage of the quiet moment, she sneaked into the treatment room with a blood collection syringe.
She sat down on the chair she dragged in, rolled up the sleeve of her left arm, and tied the band tightly.
As she clenched and unclenched her fist a few times, the veins on the inside of her elbow began to appear blue.
“Whew….”
Even though she was a doctor herself, she felt a bit nervous about sticking a needle into her own body.
After swabbing with an alcohol swab, she opened the lid of the hypodermic needle.
Just before sticking the angled needle into her vein.
Swoosh.
The sound of the treatment room curtain being pushed aside made her reflexively turn her head.
The one she locked eyes with was none other than Seo Hyun Woo.
“…Professor.”
As she called him, the clear lid that had been in her mouth fell to the ground.
“What are you doing….”
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.
