The rich and intense scent of Kyle shook Sehee’s entire being.
Her carefully composed mind was deeply confused by his lips that came with a faint, dizzying fragrance.
He was already aware that he was a perfect person, but did he have to act so perfectly until the end?
Sehee, who had fallen from Kyle’s embrace while panting, looked up at him with eyes mixed with resentment.
Why on earth?
Indignation surged.
This should be more than enough, even overflowing?
Do I have to explicitly state that all of this is his play?
She just wanted to quietly cherish the time with Kyle as precious memories.
“…Kyle.”
With a trembling voice, Sehee called Kyle.
His intense gaze drew closer to Sehee as if answering.
“…Stop, please.”
Sehee, with a desperate plea to let it end like this, spoke with great difficulty.
It was just a one-night escapade.
She thought leaving it buried like this would be a better way for herself.
After hearing the truth from him, it would be impossible to bear the wounds she would receive.
“I told you I can’t let you go.”
Kyle’s persistent gaze felt to Sehee like he was exposing the truth and commanding her to leave.
“Let’s go to Evans Venice Hotel together as we promised.”
Kyle’s dark eyes flashed.
The hand that had separated from Sehee smoothly grabbed her suitcase.
Sehee’s gaze wavered severely.
“Please… Kyle. Just let it end like this. I can’t handle anything more.”
Sehee cried out in desperation.
“What do you mean?”
Kyle’s eyebrows twisted.
Soon, Sehee’s eyes became moist.
So, it would end up like this.
She would have to accept that all of this was his play.
Sehee closed her eyes in self-abandonment.
“Now stop. Kyle. The play is over. It’s better if your acting stops now.”
In the end, those words came out of Sehee’s mouth.
It was unbearable because it was too painful.
“Play?”
Kyle asked as if wondering what she meant.
“I found out about the curse of the Jayna Cruise… So please stop now. The journey has ended safely.”
Sehee’s voice trembled.
Kyle’s expression darkened like pitch.
He couldn’t say anything.
“It’s because… I was afraid I might go to extremes. So, intentionally circling around me, meeting as if by chance, and monitoring me until the moment it all ends…”
Tears rolled down Sehee’s cheeks.
“For the sake of a new business, you deceived me, belittled me, and acted. I found out everything.”
In her voice filled with resentment, tears finally mingled.
For a moment, Kyle felt like he was falling into hell.
Sehee knew everything.
Perfectly misunderstood.
“I should’ve just told you from the beginning. That I was worried about dying because of that curse. If I had said that, you could have told me not to worry because I won’t die.”
A watery smile sparkled in Sehee’s eyes.
Watching that expression, Kyle’s heart felt painful, as if a sharp knife had pierced it.
“I wonder how funny it was for me to be fooled by your joke. Was it entertaining? For someone like you, whether I’m hurt or not, it probably didn’t matter.”
Sehee’s forcibly suppressed emotions burst out.
Even after knowing the situation, I, who had already fallen for you, struggled to the end not to get hurt by your play.
Now… What should I do?
Uttering these words, I remained foolish and pitiful, my feelings for you unchanged by hatred.
With the emotions tightly pressed inside Sehee’s heart, tears poured out.
“Sehee.”
Seeing her in that state, Kyle reached out to pull her, but Sehee forcefully brushed his hand away.
“I told you. Just let go.”
Sehee shouted as a warning.
“So that I can hide even under the guise of a one-night stand. Stop now. You must have been tired from acting sincerely. Just stop.”
A loud sob mixed in, and Sehee’s voice didn’t come out properly.
“…Even if I say something now, you probably won’t hear it. I just hope you understand one thing.”
Kyle’s intense eyes filled with sincerity were directed at Sehee.
“I know everything. That the person who orchestrated all of this is none other than you, the representative of Evans Cruise.”
Sharp resentment-filled eyes from Sehee flew towards Kyle.
“Even if there’s something left to humiliate me, stop here. I can’t endure it anymore.”
Sehee’s voice, which had relied on evil, crumbled.
“I’m such a weak and powerless person. A completely different world from you, the distinguished representative of Evans Cruise.”
So, just stop.
With tear-streaked face, Sehee turned away.
In an instant, a strong sense of self-blame pressed on Kyle’s heart.
Sehee’s gaze, the words she uttered, seemed to painfully reprimand his past mistakes.
On that night, the self couldn’t refuse Captain Marcus’s proposal, and the wrong attitude led to the current situation.
It was all their fault.
Immediately engulfed in heavy guilt, Kyle couldn’t say anything to the wailing Sehee.
Even watching Sehee walk away, sobbing and struggling, Kyle couldn’t hold on any longer.
How could things have become so tangled?
No, it wasn’t like that, it didn’t mean that.
It was all a misunderstanding.
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.
