“I won’t comment.”
“But I want to hear.”
Sigh. If she didn’t respond, it seemed like Dojun wouldn’t retreat.
Thinking hard, Taeyeon found the best possible answer and smiled brightly.
“I think I know.”
“What is it?”
Dojun had an expectant look on his face.
Taeyeon slowly opened her lips.
“Dojun, are you hungry right now?”
As if it wasn’t the answer he expected at all, Dojun raised his eyebrows.
“Are you hungry because you want to eat the lunch Mrs. Choi will prepare? Right?”
Dojun burst into laughter, following Taeyeon’s cheerful laughter.
“Not bad, Jintae Yeon.”
Taeyeon let out a sigh of relief and closed her eyes like crescent moons.
“I’ve been waiting too. Mrs. Choi’s lunch.”
Dojun made a snickering sound.
Actually, he was proud that he could anticipate what Taeyeon would talk about.
Whatever it was, he wanted to do it, and it was about mentioning the real work he wanted to do.
Unexpected lunch discussions are something.
Taeyeon, glancing at Dojun’s reaction, smiled.
“What menu will she make?”
Even that sight made Dojun unable to take his eyes off her.
It seemed like he had fallen hard for this woman.
In any case, what would be today’s lunch menu?
Taeyeon harbored curiosity, staring firmly at the closed door.
Descending to the first floor, Dojun revealed himself to the kitchen, hearing the regular sounds.
Mrs. Choi was placing vegetables on the cutting board and humming.
“Oh, Mr. President. Are you hungry? I’ll prepare quickly.”
“No.”
Dojun glanced at the neatly arranged counter and casually asked as he took a bottle of water from the cooler.
“What’s today’s menu?”
“Just when I was planning to go grocery shopping. Since you came back, I was making beef brisket doenjang jjigae with the ingredients at home.”
“Oh, I see. Were you planning to buy something after shopping originally?”
“When you come back tonight, I was thinking of making seolleongtang with oxtail broth.”
“I see.”
Hearing that story, Dojun smiled happily.
“I want to eat it now.”
“What? Seolleongtang?”
“Yes. Is it possible?”
Mrs. Choi looked slightly bewildered.
“Because it takes a bit of time…”
“These days, they say you can buy oxtail broth at the mart. Is that true?”
“Yes, that’s true, but I was planning to make it myself.”
Dojun pondered for a moment.
If Mrs. Choi buys the ingredients and makes the broth herself, it will take too long. If that’s the case, Taeyeon will be very hungry, so it couldn’t be left like that.
After drinking bottled water and placing the cup down, Dojun subtly spoke.
“Don’t make the broth yourself. Just bring the ingredients and make seolleongtang. How much time will that take?”
“If I go to the mart, it will take about an hour, even if I’m fast.”
It was indeed fortunate.
The time was just right, and the food was exactly to Dojun’s taste.
“Then, may I request seolleongtang for lunch?”
“Oh, sure. Since the President wants it.”
Mrs. Choi put down the knife she was holding, washed her hands, and took off her apron.
“I’ll go as quickly as possible. Please take a rest.”
“Sure. Take your time.”
Dojun personally saw off Mrs. Choi, then took a step, step by step, to the second floor.
He had to comfort the nervous Taeyeon with my warmth.
Thinking that, he first loosened his tie.
Taeyeon, who was sitting on the bed waiting, stood up in surprise at the sound of the door opening.
“Did Mr. Dojun go to the company?”
Well.
It would be difficult for him to spend a long time here with me when he had urgent work to handle.
Even thinking that, I was a little disappointed inwardly.
“He should have mentioned that he was going. But he must have had a reason.”
Still, I could understand.
“Well, then, I should take a shower first and rest before eating lunch.”
Thinking that, Taeyeon unbuttoned her blouse one by one.
Planning to change into comfortable clothes and thinking about going to the bedroom to shower, she opened the bedroom door.
“Huh?”
“…….”
However, standing in front of the door was Dojun, whom she expected to have gone to the company.
“Mr. Dojun?”
“Ms. Jintae Yeon…….”
Both of them looked at each other’s half-naked state and seemed slightly flustered.
It was understandable. Dojun’s tie wasn’t visible, and about half of his shirt buttons were already undone.
Dojun also shifted his gaze to Taeyeon’s chest and made a surprised expression.
Certainly, I told him to lie down and rest on the bed.
Why did he suddenly undo all the blouse buttons and open the door?
Taeyeon belatedly realized that Dojun’s gaze had reached her and covered her chest.
“Oh, I’m just going to change into comfortable clothes and take a shower…….”
“Hmm. Is that so.”
“Someone heard the sound of someone leaving, so I thought Mr. Dojun had gone to the company.”
“Oh, that.”
Dojun laughed brightly and explained.
“Mrs. Choi suddenly said she would go to the mart to buy ingredients for seolleongtang.”
“What?”
“I thought it would be good, so I escorted her and came back.”
“Ah……”
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.
