Green finished the call with Park Chan-wook and immediately opened her email, sending Seon-woo’s photos as a compressed file. Initially, she intended to send only the A-cuts but ended up including all the B-cuts in the compressed file.
“Just to look at when I’m bored.”
In Park Chan-wook’s words, there was a profound affection for Seon-woo.
In times like this, quantity over quality! Sending as much as possible seemed like the right approach.
After sending the email, Green felt secretly proud. It felt like she had done something significant, perhaps a great filial act?
On the other hand, she couldn’t fathom why someone who cared so much about Seon-woo would personally expose the fact that he was an illegitimate child to the world.
There was a time when Green, too, was frightened by Chan-wook’s aggressive remarks. She also felt a sense of betrayal when she learned that he had revealed Seon-woo’s flaws to the media.
But the more she experienced with him, the better he seemed. Like In-young, Park Chan-wook also cherished Seon-woo tremendously.
If he didn’t care about Seon-woo, there would be no need to warn her through Green, and he wouldn’t have kept Seon-woo’s secret until now.
However, no matter how much she thought about it, understanding Park Chan-wook’s true intentions was challenging.
‘Ah, who knows! How can a sparrow understand the deep meaning of a phoenix!’
Shaking off the complicated thoughts, Green checked her mailbox again, finding a new letter. It was the proposal for Morgan’s participation in the Paris Collection audition.
Examining the contents carefully, Green’s forehead slightly wrinkled. It didn’t sit well with her for some reason.
‘I should discuss this with Hanna.’
She had just finished work in France and returned yesterday. Green sent a text to Hanna as she didn’t answer the call and headed to Hanna’s house.
When she was almost at Hanna’s house, she received a call from Seon-woo.
“I’m at Hanna’s now.”
“No, not really. Mr. Seon-woo is leaving tomorrow, so I need to go home early. Are you coming late?”
“Okay. See you later.”
After ending the call, Green hurried to Hanna. However, when her friend opened the door, Hanna’s expression was not ordinary.
“Johanna, why is your face like this? Have you been crying?”
With swollen and reddened eyes, it was evident that she had been crying until a moment ago.
“Who said I cried? I didn’t cry!”
Even while shouting, traces of tears were still evident. Green reached out and hugged the much taller Hanna.
“Who said that? Who made our Hanna cry? Tell me! I’ll put a bag of poop in front of that bastard’s house for sure.”
“Don’t be ridiculous, Green! Can you imagine you doing that?”
Even as Hanna wiped away tears and laughed, Green felt a little relieved seeing her friend smile.
“What happened? Did Jenny go straight to the UK?”
“Yeah. It seems the response to this movie in Europe is good. She went around the UK, Germany, and Spain. Cannes may be a thing of the past, but it seems to be doing well commercially.”
“Why are you like this, Hanna?”
While calmly sharing Jenny’s current situation, Hanna teared up again at Green’s question.
“Green, I… I got scolded by Ahn Yong-gi! Sob…”
“What?”
Green was genuinely taken aback. Even though Hanna seemed a bit loose in front of friends, objectively, she was exceptionally beautiful.
Was that all? She had an outstanding figure, having once worked as a model, and was currently a talented stylist counted among the top in Korea.
In short, pretty face, great body, excellent skills—she was the perfect girlfriend material. Green felt intense anger toward Ahn Yong-gi, who seemed to prefer petite and cute women.
“It’s so funny. In the state of Jenny being mentally shattered due to her breakup, suddenly, fireworks explode at night, and a sexy beauty like you says she likes it, but still, she dislikes it?”
“That person’s ideal type is a small and petite woman. Why did my parents give birth to me so big like this? Ugh… When I was young, I should have avoided drinking my younger brother’s milk.”
Suppressing tears as best she could, Hanna, whose eyes were welling up again, burst into tears once more. Green, who was burning with anger, breathed out fiery breaths.
“Let’s change your ideal type at this point. How many well-built men with a triangular body are there? Why do you like a bear like that?”
Although Green tried to comfort her, Hanna’s tears, once shed, didn’t stop easily.
As Hanna was too heartbroken, Green couldn’t bring herself to mention Morgan. All she could do was sweep her friend’s back and provide comfort.
After a while, as Hanna, who had been crying in Green’s arms, finally raised her head, she blew her nose into a tissue.
“Green, what’s suddenly wrong with you?”
After a moment of hesitation, Green thought that talking about work might be better than just being depressed and showed Morgan’s proposal.
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.
