“Where have you been till now?”
At the entrance, Ja Hyeon who had been waiting sourly met Yong Hoon and hit Gyo Hwan’s chest hard with his fist as he came in.
“Ah, why?”
Even the team leader is watching. He hadn’t even done this when he was a child.
“What on earth are you, a father, doing? The kid has a fever.”
“He has a fever?”
Gyo Hwan blinked his eyes in surprise.
“Then, why didn’t you call?”
“Oh, you burn victim.”
Not because he didn’t know. Ja Hyeon, who was scolding, tried to hit him again but was conscious of the team leader standing next to him and cried out loudly.
“The kid had a fever up to 39 degrees, but he said never to contact his father! He says he gets scolded for being whiny.”
“Ha, if anyone hears, they might think he’s a good child who listens very well to his father.”
He doesn’t usually listen that well.
Feeling guilty for hitting the child and having drunk alcohol on top of that, Gyo Hwan, feeling upset, brushed off his stiff face.
“So? Has the fever gone down?”
“He just fell asleep after getting a fever shot because the fever reducer didn’t work. Dr. Lee Sang Myung was surprised when he saw Seung Yul’s calf. He said it seemed like you, as the representative of the law firm, didn’t know to be afraid of the law.”
“Why? Did he say to report it?”
“Dr. Lee said he should report it to the police, but even in the midst of this, Seung Yul snatched his cell phone and said absolutely not. He got up with a fever patch on his forehead. He said our dad is not a bad person.”
“Ha.”
I said I was a bad child.
“Why are you so stubborn, who did you take after? Your father and I have never raised our voices at you, let alone hit you. How could you…!”
“So I guess that’s how I’ve grown up.”
Into a ruthless father, without blood or tears.
Gyo Hwan, who was sighing deeply, headed towards Seung Yul’s room.
“Where are you going? He just fell asleep.”
Furthermore, reeking of alcohol.
“Take a shower and sober up a bit before checking on him. Don’t wake up the child who just fell asleep.”
“Then, I’ll go in now.”
Gyo Hwan subtly turned around, as if to wish the team leader a good night.
“Wait, let me see you for a moment.”
“Excuse me?”
The team leader, who had intended to give space for a motherchild conversation, followed into the office with a puzzled expression.
“Come here and roll up your trousers.”
“Excuse me? Why?”
Gyo Hwan, who had taken off his coat and jacket and hung them on a chair, pulled out a cane from behind the desk.
“Did I do something wrong?”
So now, after grabbing Seung Yul, he wants to grab me?
“I want to test how painful it is to be hit with a cane.”
“But why do I have to be hit?”
The team leader was not only taken aback, but also alarmed.
Isn’t it supposed to be him who gets hit to understand the pain?
“Well, I was the one who hit Yul. Only the same person can know the intensity of the pain, right?”
“But I think I can understand it perfectly well without getting hit? How painful it is.”
The CEO, who grew up without ever being hit, would never know.
“Should I hit you? I watched closely how you hit, so I think I can recreate it well.”
Suspicion deepened in Gyo Hwan’s eyes at the team leader’s eyes filled with personal intentions.
“You’re not trying to take this opportunity to act out some personal grudge, are you?”
“Hey, what a bitter thing to say. I’m just trying to help you out of longstanding loyalty because you’re curious.”
“That’s strange. But why does it look to me like there’s personal intention involved?”
Gyo Hwan, who was mumbling to himself, handed over the cane. While he was rolling up his trousers, the team leader, who had knelt down on the floor, began to warm up by swinging the cane like wielding a sword.
“Hey!”
Gyo Hwan clicked his tongue at the team leader, who acted as if he had become a swordsman.
“You say there are no personal feelings, but it seems like you’ve accumulated a lot of emotions against me over the years.”
“No way. Why would I towards you, sir. You’ve been so good to me since we were in the military.”
Not only did he take care of his birthday every year, but also his parents’ birthdays, to the extent that even at home, he was nagged to be good to the CEO.
“It doesn’t sound sincere.”
“Once again, I’m trying to satisfy your curiosity out of longstanding loyalty, so quickly roll up your calf. Don’t make me say it twice. If you act spoilt, the number of hits will increase.”
Ha, Gyo Hwan bit his lip in annoyance at the team leader’s blatant imitation.
“But why does it increase by one each time? I intended to get hit only once.”
Gyo Hwan, who was rolling up one side of his pants, paused and looked at the team leader.
“Why are you only getting hit once? Seung Yul got hit more than ten times.”
“……!”
Gyo Hwan, pricked by his conscience for a moment, clamped his mouth shut and clenched his jaw tightly.
“Weren’t you supposed to hit until the cane breaks?”
This man, really.
“Are you really doing this out of longstanding loyalty?”
Gyo Hwan stopped rolling up his pants and asked.
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.
