Haru’s first scenario ended like this.
「S#1. Fukuoka International Airport in Japan / Inside the restroom. Afternoon.
Haru washes her swollen eyes with cold water at the sink.
Her name is called along with the flight number for the Incheon-bound plane in the airplane announcement. She hurriedly grabs tissue and hides her face.
Haru: Oh, what do I do? At this rate, I’ll miss the plane.
Dragging the large suitcase next to the sink, she hastily leaves the restroom.
Onboard
Haru sits in her seat with her handbag on her lap. She immediately opens her bag and starts searching for her phone. After a while of searching,
Haru: Huh? My phone. I’m sure I put it here…
Even after checking her pockets while standing up, her phone doesn’t appear.
Haru: Huh? It’s really not here. I’m sure… I was holding it even at the airport…
(With a blank expression) Maybe. Sigh… I might have left it in the restroom.」
As soon as I read the last sentence, I closed my eyes tightly. My breath was caught in my throat. It was the first time I heard about that day from Haru. All the subsequent scenarios were deviating from my expectations.
The image of twenty-year-old Haru, who had lost her phone like a fool and roamed around looking for a way to contact me, flashed in my mind. The anxious feeling she had when she contacted me with trembling hands, and the disappointment she must have felt when I didn’t answer, all came vividly to my mind, squeezing my heart tightly.
Haru, you really…
It felt like everything around me was collapsing. As I stretched my foot, there was nowhere to step, and my mind became distant as if being endlessly pulled downward into the void.
Although I should read and continue with the last scenario of Haru, the front was blurry. I rubbed my eyes harshly in any way. The faint letters began to take shape more clearly.
It was the last scene of [Scenario_Farewell].
「S#9. Inside the house. Night.
Sitting in front of the computer, I continued writing the scenario. After pouring out the pent-up emotions onto the white paper, my heart felt remarkably lighter. I wrote the last sentence and quietly put a period next to it.
Haru: It’s done.
I lifted the cup placed on the table, but there was no particular weight. The beer, which was halfway filled, had already gone flat. Unable to do anything, I put the cup down and looked back at the screen.
Haru: Can I really let go? If I say I still like you. Then, what expression will you have?
Although I should send the scenario that I wrote a long time ago, I can’t bring myself to press the send button.
Haru: I’m sorry, Jun. I’m really sorry.
I decided to send another scenario, hiding the truth from Jun. The hesitation of that day, the truth of that day, eventually remained only in this small scenario that I couldn’t send.」
I closed my eyes tightly and opened them again. The vibrations in my chest were escalating, crazily increasing in speed.
Haru likes me, still likes me.
My eyes felt hot. It felt like my heart was about to burst. Feeling a burning sensation in my throat, I wiped my lips with the back of my hand. The chapped lips touched by the back of my hand were dry. The sound of the heartbeat and the exhale of breath were rough and harsh.
Gathering my thoughts and starting to peel off the tangled thoughts one by one, the last sentence bothered me. Another scenario hiding the truth…
Suddenly, two emails that followed Haru’s first email came to mind. I quickly opened the next email that Haru sent. Another scenario was attached to the email.
The content of the email I just received was a lengthy and unnecessary explanation that they accidentally sent an incomplete version. The conclusion of this email was probably something like ‘Absolutely do not read the email sent earlier.’
Sigh… Haru. What on earth are you thinking right now?
Even if I had read this email first, I wouldn’t have had the heart to follow those words, but I had already read the previous email.
This time, without hesitation, I opened the file containing the scenario that Haru belatedly sent. A bad premonition crossed my mind. It didn’t take long to confirm that this premonition was correct. Throughout the reading, the only thing that came out was a wet sigh.
A scenario that tells the exact opposite story of the scenario I received earlier.
Haru, how should I accept this? It’s an unfinished version. Sending a completely different scenario and then trying to hide it. Trying to avoid me. Trying to run away.
If the story unfolds like this, I vaguely guessed the content of the last email Haru sent. While biting my lower lip like chewing on something, I clicked on the next email.
「It seems like you’ve already checked everything. But still. I keep worrying, so.
I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I’m sorry for hurting you.
Even though I must have been hateful and resented, you still tried to open your heart to me. I know everything.
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.
