Se Yeong grabbed Se Ji’s hair and slammed her head against the refrigerator.
Unyielding Se Ji didn’t even scream, her neck trembling with anger, appearing fragile enough to snap.
At that moment, Hong Kyu and Yeong Gap entered.
“What are you doing!” Hong Kyu shouted, his face scrunching at the foul smell.
Unintentionally, Se Yeong released Se Ji.
“Dad, Uncle!” Se Ji approached them, sobbing.
While Se Ji pretended to be the victim, Se Yeong assessed the situation.
Employees glared as if condemning Se Yeong, whispering among themselves.
Shaking with humiliation, Se Yeong fled to her room. After cleaning up and changing, she ordered delivery food on her phone.
“I’ll kill Seo Se Ji myself!” she vowed.
Soon, Hyo Jin arrived with Se Yeong’s ordered food.
Impatient, Se Yeong started unwrapping and eating directly. Various foods like chicken feet, army stew, rice cakes, and burgers were devoured.
Hyo Jin’s mouth hung open at the rare sight.
Se Yeong messily ate, ignoring everything else. Despite eating a lot, her hunger only grew.
“My life’s ruined because of Seo Se Ji,” Se Yeong muttered, slamming her fist on the table.
“How do I defeat Se Ji?” she thought. Se Ji had immense power, supported by her company, parents, and uncle.
“I’m no different from Seo Tae In,” Se Yeong realized, acknowledging their similar situations.
Wiping her mouth, Se Yeong looked at her protruding belly.
“First, I need money. Just think about a beautiful future with Hwi,” she resolved.
“Who were you talking to?” Nok Hyun asked, embracing Tae In from behind after his shower.
“Just work stuff,” Tae In replied, putting her phone on the bedside table. A fresh scent filled the air.
Nok Hyun’s touch on her lower belly sent tingles. Tae In turned to see him, noticing his damp hair, the muscles visible through his robe, and his sultry gaze. She swallowed dryly.
Nok Hyun pressed his lips against Tae In’s nape, eliciting a moan.
“I can’t get entangled,” Tae In thought, knowing she had to check the factory early and handle numerous tasks.
Just as Nok Hyun was about to deepen the kiss, Tae In stopped him, his eyebrow furrowing.
Tae In then embraced Nok Hyun, patting his back.
“What are you doing…?” he asked.
“Just hugging,” she said.
“That can’t be all, right?”
“Sorry, that’s all for now,” she replied, pressing her lips softly against his.
Their brief kiss left Nok Hyun visibly disappointed.
“I need to wake up early tomorrow, so let’s just hold hands and sleep,” Tae In suggested in bed.
Nok Hyun, gazing at her, shook his head.
“That won’t work for me.”
Tae In placed her phone on the bedside table and replied. A refreshing scent filled the air.
Nok Hyun’s touch on her lower belly tickled. Tae In turned to look at him.
His damp hair and the muscles visible through his robe, combined with an even more seductive gaze, made Tae In swallow hard.
Nok Hyun pressed his lips to Tae In’s nape, eliciting a moan.
‘I shouldn’t get involved.’
She needed to check the factory early in the morning and had many tasks to handle.
As Nok Hyun was about to deepen the kiss, Tae In reached out and stopped his lips, causing him to frown.
Tae In then hugged Nok Hyun, patting his back.
“What are you doing…?” he asked.
“Just hugging,” she replied.
“That can’t be all, right?”
“Sorry, that’s all it is,” she said, cupping his cheeks and lightly pressing her lips to his.
The soft touch and quick separation left Nok Hyun visibly disappointed.
“I need to wake up early tomorrow, so let’s just hold hands and sleep tonight,” Tae In suggested, tapping the bed next to her.
Nok Hyun watched her silently, then shook his head.
“That won’t be enough for me.”
He lay next to Tae In and pulled her into his embrace.
Their bodies pressed together, separated only by a thin bathrobe.
Nok Hyun patted her back, his touch slightly suggestive.
Their hearts were so close, the beats were audible.
Nok Hyun placed Tae In’s head on his chest and covered her with a blanket.
Tae In, feeling his solid muscles, forcibly closed her eyes. Despite their deep physical intimacy, her heart raced and her fingers trembled slightly.
“Don’t grope me in your sleep.”
“Me?”
“You have a history.”
Tae In acknowledged. She had groped Nok Hyun when she lost her memory and even now, she felt an urge to touch him.
“I didn’t realize it was so natural.”
“Yes.”
“This is my room, right?”
“Yes.”
“We’ve never shared a room before.”
“True.”
“Please leave, Kang Nok Hyun.”
“How about we start sharing from today?”
Tae In, unimpressed, pushed Nok Hyun away.
“You’re heartless.”
“In Gapyeong, you were the one who threw me into the hallway.”
Nok Hyun, unable to argue, silently got up.
“We’ll start sharing tomorrow.”
“I’ll think about it.”
Tae In replied with an innocent face, leaving Nok Hyun speechless.
It’s always just me feeling this way. Well, there’s still time.
“Goodnight, Tae In.”
After a goodnight kiss, Nok Hyun stood to leave. At that moment, Tae In grabbed his wrist, stopping him.
As Nok Hyun turned, Tae In, with half-closed eyes, spoke.
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.
