“Well, who hasn’t experienced love? You’re acting like you’ve never loved anyone before. It’s just the beginning of being so in love that you can’t live without it.”
“You’re inconsistent. Yesterday, you were complaining that you weren’t sure because you’ve only been dating for a short time.”
“Father, what if Yul overhears us like this?”
Receiving a warning from Hyo Jin, Gyo Hwan fell silent, refraining from saying anything further.
Watching Gyo Hwan shut his mouth with just one word from Hyo Jin, Jae Hyun couldn’t help but be astonished.
“Mr. Bong, you’re truly amazing. You’ve never even been near the kitchen in your life, but you’re making my son do all the cooking.”
When Hyo Jin finally spoke, her lips had been sealed like a clam, but as soon as she had something to say to Mr. Bong, she opened them eagerly.
“After it’s over, I’ll even do the dishes cleanly, so don’t meddle in other people’s relationships and go.”
Ha, unbelievable. A guy who has never once gotten his hands dirty for his own mother’s sake.
“When are you going to tell Yul?”
I can’t imagine he’ll be as shameless with his own child as he is with this woman.
“I’ll tell him soon, so please be careful, Mom. Don’t make any slip of the tongue and cause any misunderstandings.”
“Oh, you do it well. Even if you make it so obvious, how long do you think you can deceive him? Yul is so sharp.”
As if he couldn’t stand it anymore, Jae Hyun turned away first.
“Seung Yul. Try this. Dad made abalone porridge for you because Seung Yul said he wasn’t feeling well.”
Hyo Jin set the tray with porridge down and approached Seung Yul, who was lying in bed, and sat beside him.
“I don’t want it. When did I say I wanted to eat porridge?”
Seung Yul, who had a fever patch on his forehead and was lying down due to a cold, turned restlessly.
It wasn’t as if they were quarreling in pairs.
“Yul, just try a bite. Dad tried it, and it’s really delicious.”
Gyo Hwan approached and moistened the blanket, forcibly helping Seung Yul sit up.
“Dad made it, so do I have to eat it?”
“Huh?”
“My stomach isn’t hungry, so take it away!”
“Come on. Then you can just try one bite since the teacher will feed you.”
“Okay. I’ll take one bite, and if it’s not good, I don’t have to eat it.”
Gyo Hwan nodded, and Hyo Jin personally scooped up some porridge with a spoon and offered it to Seung Yul.
“Ah.”
As the spoon touched his lips, Seung Yul frowned.
“Ah, it’s hot.”
Honestly, he was more interested in testing his father, who had taken the teacher away, than in the hot porridge.
“Oh, I see. Sorry. Teacher will blow on it for you.”
Hyo Jin pursed her lips and blew on it, then offered the spoon again.
“Here, ah!”
“Ah, you got it on your face.”
“Oh, sorry. I’ll wipe it.”
Unseen by them, Gyo Hwan intervened, preventing Hyo Jin from wiping the porridge off Seung Yul’s face with a napkin.
“I’ll take care of the rest, so Teacher, please leave.”
Gyo Hwan’s facial muscles, which had been relaxed until now, suddenly stiffened.
“Dad? Can you please look at me for a moment?”
Hyo Jin, fearing a clash between the parents in the near future, pulled Gyo Hwan outside.
“Dad, why are you doing this? You even made abalone porridge with such enthusiasm.”
“Hmph, didn’t you see Teacher whining too? Teacher is no saint either.”
Gyo Hwan couldn’t understand it at all. When Ms. Bong asked where Hyo Jin would like to go, she said anywhere was fine. When did she become so devoted to Yul?
“Why are you doing this, dear? Aren’t we going a bit overboard? I’m worried that it might make things worse.”
“What’s wrong with going overboard? I want to do it.”
Despite everything, seeing Hyo Jin, who was doing it all for Yul, Gyo Hwan couldn’t help but feel even more sorry.
“It’s fine to do it for Yul, but don’t push yourself too hard. I’m worried that it might make things worse.”
“What’s wrong with pushing myself? I want to do it.”
Hyo Jin, with an almost hurt expression, gracefully averted her eyes.
“I asked you to pretend not to understand even if Yul does something I don’t understand. Yul might be feeling unwell today, and being more mature than others, he might have already entered adolescence.”
“Adolescence?”
Hyo Jin, who had grown up without even knowing what adolescence was, was at a loss.
“Just a moment.”
Hyo Jin took her vibrating phone out of her pocket.
“Oh, it’s Roy. Yul? Yul might be feeling unwell right now, so I don’t think he can talk on the phone. Why?”
Hearing the conversation coming from the receiver, Hyo Jin raised her head.
“What? He wants to come over?”
What should I do? I should ask Yul.
“Alright. Then I’ll ask Yul and let you know.”
Gyo Hwan blocked Hyo Jin, who was trying to go into the room after hanging up the phone.
“Just tell him to come in.”
“What? Yul might not like it.”
“It’s better to naturally invite him and get to know each other at times like this. I’ll say I invited him, so just tell him to come in.”
“Should I really do that then?”
The next morning.
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.
