“Baby, did you sleep well? It seems chilly from the morning, probably because of the early spring cold snap.”
“…….”
“I envy the pretty flowers like you that bloom. I praise the baby who bloomed into such a beautiful flower while playing games with the cold winter.”
Our baby, so cute.
“Are you crazy?”
Sunhye stuck her tongue out at Hyojin, who sprayed mist on the potted plant on the veranda and gently wiped the stem of the sunlit Phalaenopsis with a soft cloth.
“Hush.”
Hyojin covered the ear of the Phalaenopsis with both hands, as if blocking it.
“Grandma said so. Even flowers have ears that can hear.”
Calling out her name and talking to her every morning, the flower bud had blossomed into a full bloom.
“Our baby is completely thriving, right? At first, when the flower stalk came up, it died quickly.”
It withered because it received too much sunlight by the window.
So, when I gave it a lot of water, the flower stalk rotted and died.
But still, without giving up, it proudly burst into a larger flower bud.
“I hope our baby grows up so beautifully. Right?”
“Do you find this amusing?”
Better to cry wholeheartedly than to pretend.
“Hey, then should I cry because I broke up with the baby?”
Crying won’t solve the problem either.
“Grandma, did you think I’d be a fool to become a dad?”
Even if the contract fell through, even if I couldn’t get the money I lent to my trusted friend, even if I scratched my back with my mom. Laughing stupidly without any speed.
“Now I understand why. It wasn’t because I’m a fool.”
Even if I have to smile to ease the pain for the remaining family.
“I’m not pretending to be unconcerned because I’m worried that grandma will be upset. Crying would make it even more difficult.”
“Hello. It’s Bong Hyojin. Do you remember me by any chance? Introduced by Announcer Kang Hanna.”
After having breakfast and entering the room, Hyojin, who had seen Seon last fall, sent a text message to the blind date guy.
Prosecutor Lee Seongmin.
When he heard from Kang Jaeik that his dad had been framed and passed away, he went to the police, but he only received the answer that he did as instructed by the prosecutor.
No matter how much he thought, there was no one else to ask for help.
Because he heard that he was working at the Seocho District Prosecutors’ Office at that time.
“Hello. Of course, I remember. Have you been well all this time?”
Worried that he might be ignored because it had been too long since they last contacted, the man fortunately replied immediately.
“I’m sorry, but I have something to tell you. Can you spare some time? I’ll go to where the prosecutor is.”
Setting a time and appointment, he left the house, and the moist spring rain was barely melting the frozen ground.
It’s raining again. I wonder if Dad is recovering well?
Reaching for the necklace embroidered with longing on the black turtleneck, his soft skin scent wafted in the rain-scented breeze.
“Ah, what is this fragrance?”
Hyojin looked around without even remembering to use an umbrella, but there was no one around.
Of course not. It must be my imagination.
When it is explicitly said not to meet, it mischievously happens to run into each other.
It was a cruel reality that, when you wanted to run into someone by chance, there was no sign of it happening.
“Miss Bong Hyojin?”
Hyojin, who had arrived first at the coffee shop and was lost in thought, looked up at Prosecutor Lee Seongmin standing in front of her and quickly stood up.
“Oh, hello?”
“Why are you pondering so seriously?”
“Ah….”
Unable to say that she was thinking about her father, Hyojin turned the conversation while stroking her stiff neck with the palm of her hand.
“What would you like to drink?”
The man took out his wallet as if he was going to buy.
“No, please sit. I will buy since I invited you.”
Besides, there’s something to ask for.
Hyojin brought the warm Americano the man ordered and sat across the table.
“I was really sorry last time.”
“Ah.”
Thinking back to the absurd situation at that time, the man chuckled.
“You contacted me quite quickly.”
When was that? Was it in the fall? Spring is just around the corner.
Moreover, she, who used to reveal rough language like a servant, looked so delicate now.
I was really curious about what kind of story it was.
“What do you have to say to me?”
It wasn’t a personal interest that prompted her to contact him all of a sudden.
“I’m sorry, but I have a favor to ask.”
Eight years ago, Hyojin’s father passed away in a traffic accident, and she wanted to obtain the prosecution’s investigation records.
There was no other legal professional around to ask for help.
“It’s something very important to me. How can you help me?”
Under normal circumstances, Hyojin would never have said such a thing, even if it hurt her pride, but perhaps because it was about her deceased father, she asked for help without hesitation.
“So, what can you do for me?”
“Huh?”
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.
