As the wound next to his lips subsided, Rain’s forehead also twisted in pain.
“Don’t do that to your lips! It’s irritating the wound!”
Even in this situation, Songkang was on the verge of laughter at her assertive attitude.
“Right. Since I’m not feeling well today, shouldn’t Prosecutor Jin Rain take a look?”
When he mentioned that he was in pain, Rain’s body relaxed, and she approached him like a magnet. Then, she looked closely at his face.
“Does it hurt? A lot… Does it hurt?”
“It’s just pain.”
He embraced her, leaning on her petite frame.
“Look at it somewhere.”
“Just being together like this makes everything feel better.”
Songkang brought his breath to Rain’s shoulder and neckline. Rain laid her hand on the side of his collarbone, sharing warmth for a moment.
While warming her body, as he calmly contemplated, he felt that he might be too selfish. He knew that her insides might be in turmoil.
Even if there was no reason to apologize for the investigation against Chairman Na, there could have been other ways to slightly improve his mood…
But then, he was curious about how he, who was usually calm and collected, could have come to this point because of his father’s words…
“In any situation… Please stand by my father’s side.”
Rain spoke with a small, hesitant voice. Songkang smiled, feeling thankful for her words. She couldn’t see his expression.
Rain wanted to move away from him to see his face. However, Songkang held her tighter. Eventually, Rain was picked up and carried deep into the house, placing her bottom on the corner shelf.
Rain looked up at him. Gazing at him with a somewhat pitiful expression, she cautiously wiped his face. He twitched the muscles of his face.
“Does it hurt?”
She found the only clue she needed to figure out his agony, but due to her excessive fear, she couldn’t use that method, which was regrettable.
Instead of answering, he kissed her lips. She opened her eyes wide, continually glancing at his cracked lips.
When he moved his lips to her forehead, her gaze followed suit. He couldn’t help but smile at her cute appearance. Leaning against the wall with one hand, he continued with gentle kisses.
At that moment, Songkang’s phone rang.
It was a call from Chairman Na. At this hour, for what reason… Songkang thought for a moment.
“Who is it?”
Unable to hear Rain’s questioning voice, Songkang, after contemplating for a while, answered the call.
“Yes, Father.”
Come home right now.
“What happened?”
The call that came out of the blue made Songkang worry about his father’s health.
As Songkang’s expression darkened in an instant, Rain’s heart also felt unexpectedly heavy.
“Director… What’s the matter?”
“I need to briefly visit the main house.”
If it’s Chairman Na’s call… Rain couldn’t help but feel a greater sense of responsibility.
“It’s nothing serious. I’ll be back soon.”
“Director, be careful while driving. I’ll just rest here. Take your time…”
“Chairman, it seems you’ve had too much stress today. Your shoulders are stiff.”
Geum Moran was massaging Chairman Na’s shoulders. She had already heard about what happened at the company.
At first, she didn’t believe the story about Songkang threatening Na Chairman with a knife. To ruin the precious relationship with her son was unthinkable. It could have been an opportunity.
“Your hand must hurt. Stop and rest.”
Today, her touch didn’t seem to work, and Chairman Na coughed as if he was annoyed.
Standing behind the sofa, Geum Moran approached Chairman Na’s side like a nimble cat and sat down close to him. Then, she began massaging his hands.
“Chairman, today, I want to mold your hands into feet. It’s all because of me…”
“What nonsense is that?”
“Because of my humble background… Do you think the prosecution looks down on me and attacks me?”
When Geum Moran, with moist eyes, looked at Chairman Na, he adjusted his posture, blushing.
“Who says such things! I chose you, and you are the owner of Taesung. How dare anyone!”
“Oh… Chairman, it’s not good for your health to get angry. I’ve been through all sorts of misfortunes, but I can’t live without you.”
Hugging Chairman Na’s chest and leaning on him, Geum Moran spoke.
“Hmm…”
Chairman Na let out a deep sigh.
“Lately, I don’t understand why Songkang is acting like this. He has never been a disobedient child.”
Geum Moran slyly rolled her eyes. She didn’t miss that moment while looking at Chairman Na with a serious expression.
“Since it’s come to this… let Songkang take over the company and live with me in a quiet place. Chairman.”
“What… What are you talking about?”
“Isn’t Songkang doing this because he has some thoughts? Thinking of Taesung as somewhat his own…”
“Whose decision is that! I inherited Taesung and raised him!”
Getting angry like a fire, Chairman Na’s appearance made Geum Moran smile inwardly, showing an expression of great fear outwardly.
“Well, since it’s come to this, I apologize if I upset you.”
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.
