“Don’t mess with Dyul. If Dyul gets involved, it will ruin everything you have. Everything you have now, things you might have in the future, everything that might be rare but you could have.”
“You… Ha. You’re quite…”
“Curious? Whether I can do it or not.”
Hantae, looking into my eyes, was startled and stiffened. I turned my back on such Hantae.
“You! You’re always the guy for whom everything is easy! Popularity, studying, warm and affectionate parents! Friends who can throw everything for you! Everything I struggled to get, whether I could get it or not, but you… Why is everything so easy for you! You good-for-nothing!”
Hantae screamed from behind.
Afterwards, whether my warning was heeded, or Hantae lost interest in tormenting me, Hantae did not appear in front of me and Dyul anymore.

As soon as I woke up in the morning, I had to dig potatoes. Lloy, my dog. The smell that lingered in the air, piercing my nose, dispelled the sleep. Lloy, who had eaten all the morning feed and cleaned up, approached me and wrapped his tail around my foot.
“How does your owner raise you with such frequent business trips?”
Nam Junmo works for a famous magazine company. The cat that ended up staying in my studio apartment for about a month, saying that he was assigned to cover overseas fashion weeks, adapted quickly.
Clearing the fur was quite a hassle, but when I saw the cat acting cute like this from time to time, I could somewhat understand why Mundayul would follow him around, calling him ‘General Cat.’
Mundayul was more stubborn than I thought.
He went to find Yura from the HR team and demanded an apology confidently. And he got an apology.
I picked up the cat, who was rubbing his face ‘meow’ between my legs. Touching his soft fur, I remembered a conversation I accidentally overheard.
“That little girl caused all this trouble for me. Just because I listened to that girl’s words… I must be crazy.”
It was really a coincidence that I saw Manager Kim, who was holding a cellphone and heading for the emergency stairs.
‘7998.’
The license plate of the car Baiyinha got on. Manager Kim, the owner of that car. I recalled the uncomfortable bits of information.
Unintentionally, I followed him.
“To the Travel Plan team, the one who always sticks to Mundayul! Ah, this is driving me crazy. It seems like proper disciplinary action will be taken this time… Should I just resign?”
I couldn’t hear the conversation anymore as another person entered, but it was certain now. Baiyinha was related to Manager Kim.
I subtly conveyed this fact to Mundayul as well, but Mundayul, who didn’t want to believe it, remained unconvinced.
“Meow.”
Lost in thought, I was awakened by the cat’s crying. It was about time to take a shower now.
“Since I’ll bring one of your fans today, wait quietly at home. Got it? Don’t tear up the sofa, and diligently tear up the scratcher I bought. Understand?”
“Meow.”
Whether he really understood or not, General Cat replied, and I went into the bathroom with a satisfied expression.
Grabbed by Lloy, who caught me as I left the front door to go to work, I was a bit late for work because of his rubbing and purring.
When the company building was getting closer.
‘Squeak.’
Along with the harsh sound of brakes, there was a ‘thud’ sound. After that, a few people’s short screams were heard, and people began to gather at the scene of the accident.
It was a disturbance that I would have just passed by as usual. However, when I saw the pale face of Baiyinha, I realized that something was wrong.
My stiffened head turned sharply. After the harsh sound of brakes, something ‘thumped.’ Then, a few people’s short screams were heard, and people began to gather at the scene of the accident.
If it were the usual, it would have been just a passing commotion. However, when I saw the pale face of Baiyinha, I realized that something was wrong.
My stiffened head turned sharply. Among the people gathered, the fallen arm under the feet was particularly vivid.
Unconsciously, I moved. People who noticed me gradually moved away. An elongated place. There, I found Mundayul lying on the ground, bleeding.
‘Squeak.’
The sharp siren echoed in my ears. Everything seemed to stop as if time had frozen. I couldn’t hear anything, only the persistent mechanical sound in my ears. The moment Mundayul’s eyes slowly closed. Suddenly, everything started moving again.
“Mundayul!”
Only then could I run to my fallen girlfriend.
The warm and sticky liquid felt in my hands oozed out between my fingers and dropped onto the cold asphalt.
“Can, can someone please call an ambulance! 119. Someone call 119…”
Without stopping, I kept crying as I saw the continuously flowing red blood.
After that, my memories are like a film that has been cut off. I screamed for a long time, and as I rode the ambulance, I held Mundayul’s cold hand and prayed until we reached the hospital.
When we entered the emergency room, the doctors who rushed in examined Mundayul. Later, she went into the operating room for emergency surgery.
In the swamp of indescribable despair, I could barely lift my head, thanks to Mundayul’s parents who had rushed here.
“It’s okay. It’s okay, Seojun.”
They must have been surprised too, but looking at the aunt and uncle who calmed their trembling hands and patted my back, my blocked breath eased.
“It’s not that serious… So, let’s not worry too much and watch over her. Our Dayul might not know other things, but she’s persistent. Occasionally, she might be sick, but she has a sturdy backbone, and she’s not a fragile child. Understand?”
In front of the monitor in front of the operating room, the letters “[Age 28 Mundayul]” were displayed. Staring at those letters, the aunt continued to offer words of comfort to me.
“It will be okay.”
Whether it was a statement to herself, to me, or to God, the comforting wind continued until the letters “During surgery” disappeared.
The operating room door opened, and the doctor who operated on Mundayul came out.
“There was more bleeding than expected, so we urgently performed emergency surgery, but fortunately, the injured area was not in a critical location. The surgery went well, and it’s completed successfully. Once she wakes up in the recovery room, we will transfer her to the intensive care unit. We will observe her progress and then move her to a regular ward.”
Upon the doctor’s words, I felt as if blood was circulating throughout my body. The aunt thanked him continuously, expressing gratitude and bursting into tears.
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.
