She poured out her feelings, saying that she was confused because even though she knew it was a rejection, it didn’t feel like one. Director Kim wore a serious expression.
“Ha, it’s not even the old days. There are phones, SNS, email, etc. Why doesn’t he share any of them?”
Seo Yeon banged her fist on the desk, expressing her frustration, and Director Kim looked at her with a meaningful look.
“It’s frustrating enough to drive you mad, isn’t it?”
Seo Yeon, sticking out her lips, nodded.
“You’re the first person to have a guy act like this to you. What are you doing?”
Her eyes, which had been sharp like an angry cat’s, fell and she nodded her head.
Frankly, it was Seo Yeon’s first time encountering a man like Kwon Yool.
If he had put up a solid wall from the start, Seo Yeon would have turned away without a trace of regret.
However, he was like a candy that brings joy to the mouth.
It was an infuriating feeling, like a delicious candy that you want to buy again but they wouldn’t tell you where to get it. Exactly that.
“You are in deep.”
“What?”
“Love is a highstakes game of wit. The one who loves more takes control of the relationship.”
Seo Yeon stared intently as if not to miss a single piece of advice from Director Kim.
“That man is either an innocent man who has never dated, an extraordinary foxman, or both. Either way, you need a groundbreaking strategy.”
Director Kim pulled up a chair and sat down.
Then he began to explain in detail why it was necessary to maintain composure.
However, only one thought crossed Seo Yeon’s mind as she listened.
Whether it was a highstakes game of wits or a groundbreaking strategy, what use was a hundred good methods if she couldn’t meet Kwon Yool.
Meeting, yes, that was what she needed most now. She had to face him to use her killer move.
‘Isn’t there a good way?’
A way to meet naturally under the guise of coincidence.
Lost in thought, Seo Yeon completely ruined one of her thumbnails before she exclaimed.
“That’s it!”
As Seo Yeon jumped up from her seat as if shouting ‘Eureka’, Director Kim, who was startled, also stood up.
“Director, please plan an athleisure look this time.”
“Are you going to challenge the sportswear market you’ve been talking about?”
He was talking about men and then a new plan. Director Kim looked at Seo Yeon with a flustered expression.
“I’d like a vibrant design. Like this.”
As Seo Yeon, whose expression had considerably improved, began to swiftly draw lines on a blank paper, a cool design was quickly completed.
Director Kim was preparing to take notes, looking down at the design.
“It would be good if you could make a sample as soon as possible.”
Her own plan to cure her heartache in a positive direction was underway.
“I’ll appreciate if it’s as soon as possible. It would be best within this week.”
Director Kim listed a few functional fabrics used for sportswear as he thought of them.
“Please make the sample in my size. I want to wear it myself and test its performance.”
Seo Yeon, who looked as if she was about to run out any minute, said, spinning her waist round and round.
Director Kim hastily gathered the paper with the design Seo Yeon just completed and rushed out of the office.
Then, with a smile on her face, Seo Yeon moved to the wide window overlooking the Gangnam cityscape.
What Seo Yeon had in mind was an amazing two birds with one stone. A golden opportunity to earn money and win a man’s heart.
“Do I really need to go far to test the sample? There’s a wonderful park right in front of my house.”
Seo Yeon smirked and laughed as she remembered Kwon Yool’s story about running in the park near his home every day.
She was preparing a remarkable inevitability disguised as a coincidence.
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.
