Sirak stared intently at the woman who effortlessly lied, bursting into laughter.
“Oh, really? I almost misunderstood again.”
Well, a woman who keeps her husband and her lover separate wouldn’t easily admit to that.
Anyway, thinking it might be a good time to talk to Taejin, Sirak casually asked a question.
“Manager, then I’ll leave first.”
Taejin, carrying his tumbler, went outside, and Sirak immediately called Taejin.
Taejin, who was getting nail art done, frowned at the loud ringing of his phone.
After confirming the caller, he answered.
“Oh, Oppa.”
I heard something incredible today.
“What is it?”
Jin-Daeri and Cha Dojun, the head of the branch, were together.
Tae-yeon’s mood sank even further at the names of the two people coming out of Sirak’s mouth.
Right on time, the employee mentioned that the nail art was completed, and Taejin moved to a soft sofa.
“Why are those two…”
Did you know they had an unusual relationship?
Of course, he knew. Was there anyone foolish enough not to know that they were a married couple?
Taejin continued the call with a furrowed face.
“Do some people not know about it?”
Huh? You knew, right?
“Do you think I called just to gossip about those two getting close, like it’s some big scoop?”
Sirak seemed lost for words in the face of Taejin’s sarcasm.
“What, is it true?”
Yeah… I just found out today.
At that, Taejin laughed as if he found it amusing.
“Oppa, I told you to bring me news I don’t know. What’s the point of telling me something I already know?”
Oh, I knew about this because of your sister.
Sirak quickly lost her words again.
“What? Is that the only news you have to tell me?”
…
Seeing Sirak’s silence through the phone, it seemed that was all there was to it.
No, I didn’t know that Jin-Daeri would keep her husband and Cha Dojun, the head of the branch, from doing such things at the company.
“What?”
Your sister asked me not to say anything since she’s your sister.
“What are you saying?”
Well, she looked so innocent that I couldn’t bring myself to talk about her mischievous side.
“Hahaha.”
Taejin, looking as if he finally saw the true side of Tae-yeon, laughed while tilting his head back.
“Just a moment. What did Oppa just say?”
What?
“What did you say about Tae-yeon, having a husband separately from Cha Dojun?”
Jin-Daeri’s husband is overseas.
“……. ”
This time, confusion filled Taejin’s face.
The husband of Tae-yeon, who came to Korea from abroad, is none other than Cha Dojun, the head of the branch.
Sirak sensed that Taejin was unaware of this.
Why?
With a puzzled expression, Taejin asked Sirak.
“Oppa, don’t you know who Jin Tae-yeon’s husband is?”
I don’t know.
“You don’t know?”
Yeah. Daeri Jin didn’t say a word about her husband at work.
“Really?”
Taejin stood up from the sofa.
Only now did Sirak begin to understand what Taejin said.
To Sirak, Tae-yeon seemed like a woman enjoying an affair with Dojun while keeping her mysterious husband separate.
Why didn’t she reveal to her colleagues that Dojun was her husband?
It was a fascinating fact.
Excited, Taejin asked Sirak, “Why didn’t she say anything?”
I don’t know. Some even said that Jin-Daeri pretended not to be married to make things more interesting.
“That’s funny.”
Have you seen Jin-Daeri’s husband?
“Huh? Yes, I have.”
He had seen that half-and-half face just last weekend.
Who is her husband?
Taejin decided not to give out that information with an interested look on his face.
After discovering the real reason why Tae-yeon and Dojun hid their relationship at work, he could tell Sirak later.
A beam of light had entered his mundane life.
“Even if I tell you, you won’t know, Oppa.”
Well, he seems like an ordinary man.
“Why did you think that?”
I thought that he had a healthy husband but was having an affair with Cha Dojun, the head. Tsk.
The sound of Sirak clicking her tongue was transmitted through the phone.
No, those two were sticking closely together in the meeting room just now.
“What?”
Boldly in the middle of the day at the office. Ugh.
A subtle shiver ran through Taejin’s once interesting face.
Although they hadn’t publicly revealed that they were a married couple at work, it seemed they were quite close.
“What on earth are they thinking?”
That’s what I’m saying.
After leaving a message that she would call back when she had more detailed information, Sirak ended the call.
Taejin, touching his nicely groomed nails, mumbled, “Did she deliberately hide the information, thinking of divorce?”
If not, there was no reason for them to keep their relationship a secret at the company.
“But it looks like they might get divorced.”
It brought some comfort.
Watching the seemingly happy couple lately made Taejin’s stomach ache.
However, he also thought that it could just be for show.
“What should I do about Cha Dojun?”
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.
