“I tell the child to apologize for wronging you, but if you admit that you did something wrong… it sounds as if I am also doing something wrong……”
“That’s not the case. Such a thing.”
Why is everything so complicated? All I want is peace,
Hyo Jin felt like she was standing in a courtroom, not a father, despite being a lawyer who used to be a judge.
“Could you please forgive me just once, looking at me? It’s all my fault for not guiding properly.”
“But, you haven’t even taught my child yet, have you?”
What nonsense is he talking about today?
“But it’s the first time.”
“Pardon?”
“There is a law that is lenient towards firsttime offenders, isn’t there?”
What has that got to do with this?
Gyo Hwan’s forehead narrowed again like the gates of heaven.
Oh, Lord. The path you have commanded me is indeed too narrow.
With the desperate feeling of defending the defendant before the final verdict, Hyo Jin said,
“I promise to guide him better from now on, Father. Seung Yul, you’ll listen to the teacher from now on, won’t you?”
Let’s cooperate, us.
Why the sudden friendliness? Annoying.
“Yes.”
But what could Seung Yul do?
It’s childish, but if you don’t want to be hit, you have no choice but to cooperate.
“Choi Seung Yul, follow me.”
Gyo Hwan turned his body around first, furrowing his brow.
“Teacher, you follow too.”
“All of this is your fault. If only you hadn’t used violence.”
Kneeling on the floor like Seung Yul, Hyo Jin, sitting across the sofa in the closed study, was no different from being punished in a thinking chair, only not raising her hand.
“It’s not because of me, it’s because of the teacher. Because you broke the promise.”
Seung Yul, his mouth skewed, opened his eyes wide as if to speak clearly.
“Not opening your eyes nicely?”
Couldn’t move in front of dad.
“Written contract takes precedence over verbal agreement, you know?”
“Right. Then we’ll write one, a contract.”
Ah, naive child.
“So, who is in the dominant position?”
“Well, obviously.”
Seung Yul lifted his slim chin proudly.
“Do you like raw fish by any chance?”
“No, I never eat fish.”
“But why do you keep trying to consume me raw? You’re still young.”
“You were the one who made the promise first!”
“That was when I didn’t know what kind of person your dad was.”
Having witnessed his obstinate character with her own eyes, Hyo Jin couldn’t undertake a dangerous adventure.
“Just once, is that still not okay? It’s not about actually becoming a real mom, just pretending to be one.”
Just for a day.
“I don’t know why I should take such a risk. It’s better to tell your dad honestly.”
If you get caught later with that temperament, you’ll be in even more trouble.
“I told you. Dad will never understand.”
“Don’t worry. If your dad scolds you, the teacher will speak for you.”
Seung Yul, who had just seen that it was not working, smirked chicly.
“And then the teacher gets fired?”
This kid, I tried to coax him with kind words and now he wants to fight again?
Is it a family history? Both the father and the son.
“You’re the one who should be spanked until your calves explode by your dad. Didn’t you hear him asking for the cane earlier?”
At the sound of the door opening and someone entering from behind him, Seung Yul, who had been coming down awkwardly, stretched both arms up.
In the large hand of Gyo Hwan, which appeared white and delicate, was the actual cane that the driver had brought.
Gosh, did he mean to put his words into practice, not just saying it?
“Seung Yul, have you thought about what you did wrong?”
Gulp. The sound of Seung Yul swallowing saliva reached Hyo Jin’s ears, merely by the effect of the situation.
“Lower your hands and come here.”
Tap tap. The sound of the cane tapping on the reinforced wooden floor caused Hyo Jin’s shoulders to instinctively shrink.
“Why did you hit the teacher?”
Gyo Hwan, looking at the approaching Seung Yul, had a somewhat relaxed brow.
If he could talk well when that brow was widely opened like a rainbow, it seemed he could get away with it.
Hyo Jin had no idea what would come out of the baby’s mouth.
He wouldn’t be really telling the truth that he agreed to become a mom, would he?
Then it would be a real trouble.
“The teacher upset me first.”
Boss baby opened his mouth and looked at Hyo Jin with determined eyes.
What are you looking at? Are you saying the truth and getting us both killed? Anger lasers shot out of Hyo Jin’s eyes at the audacious behavior.
“What did the teacher do to upset you?”
As Gyo Hwan spoke, a highvoltage current flowed from the gaze that collided in the air between Seung Yul and Hyo Jin.
“Does he disrespect adults who work, thinking they’re worthless without dad?”
“Excuse me, dad? When did I say that I disregard them like they are worthless? I said they are nothing.”
At the AIlike voice replay, Hyo Jin felt like her face was going to disappear, it was so hot.
“Of course, if you hear such words directly, you might get angry.”
He, who had been saying there was nothing wrong with what I said.
“So, should you throw a helmet at the teacher and punch them because of that?”
So, you’re saying that Seung Yul did something wrong?
“If you’re that angry, swear inwardly.”
Excuse me, dad? So, you’re saying you were swearing at me inwardly earlier? Instead of swearing openly.
“If you don’t want to hear such words, shouldn’t you do well so they won’t come out? Why would the teacher say such things unless it was serious?”
Ha, why do you keep playing this up and down?
“Are you going to do that again?”
Tap tap. Gyo Hwan, tapping on the reinforced wooden floor with his cane, asked.
“Are you going to do that to the teacher again?”
“No.”
How could he say he would do that in this situation? He would be told to roll up his trousers immediately.
“Apologize to the teacher. Promise not to do it again from now on.”
The baby’s lips were completely twisted as he reluctantly turned to face Hyo Jin.
“It’s okay. We promised to get along well earlier, didn’t we?”
Hyo Jin spoke as if she despised the idea of receiving a formal apology.
“Just stay still, teacher.”
Ah, yes. If you saw that defiant face, you couldn’t tell me to just stay still.
“Seung Yul, aren’t you going to apologize?”
Gyo Hwan raised his voice as if asking what he was doing just standing there.
Because all he could see was the back of the baby.
“I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.”
The baby, with his eyes bulging out, spoke as if he wanted to start a fight.
“Alright, as long as you don’t do it next time.”
Let’s go out and fight.
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.
