“Hey, Im Jeongdon. They say you’re good at soccer?”
A classmate holding a soccer ball asked Jeongdon.
“…I’m not that good, but I like it.”
“Wanna play soccer together?”
Jeongdon hesitated for a moment. He had planned to go straight home, concerned about Arin. However, seeing the soccer ball, he became indecisive.
“I have plans…”
“Oh, really? Well, can’t be helped.”
“How about just a little?”
“Sure!”
They intended to play for a short while, but ended up playing for two hours. Jeongdon hastily grabbed his backpack and ran home.
Thinking of going to Arin after leaving his bag, Jeongdon was surprised to find Arin sitting in front of his house.
“I was going to see you!”
“Why?”
“Because I was worried about what happened earlier.”
“It’s okay! Thanks for helping.”
Jeongdon scratched his head awkwardly. In reality, Jeongdon hadn’t done anything. Arin indeed turned out to be Taein’s sister. Cool and brave.
“I didn’t do anything, though.”
“Thanks for being my friend.”
Arin smiled like a mischievous child, shaking Jeongdon’s hand.
Jeongdon was truly grateful. In the world where the market was the playground, he had no same-age friends. Arin was his first same-age friend.
“I came to give you this.”
Arin held out a shopping bag.
“What’s this?”
Inside the bag was a leather jacket.
“It’s a dress made by my sister. A gift. Try it on quickly.”
Jeongdon reluctantly put on the jacket.
“Isn’t it strange…?”
“No, it looks incredibly good on you!”
Jeongdon felt awkward. It was his first time wearing such clothes. However, when Arin said it looked good on him, he felt embarrassed but pleased.
“Someone said that dominance is important.”
Arin said with a serious face.
“Dominance?”
“Yeah. When you wear this, we’ll be braver.”
Arin’s words made sense. Wearing the clothes seemed to give him the courage to confront anyone. Jeongdon nodded vigorously.
“How’s married life? Is it good?”
Today, as usual, after cleaning up the cooking academy, Yun Isadang asked Nokhyun.
“Yes.”
Nokhyun replied briefly.
“Explain it a bit more. What do you like the most?”
Yun Isadang chuckled as if frustrated.
“The fact that I can see her every day?”
“…What’s the second thing?”
“That I can see her as soon as I open my eyes in the morning.”
“Okay, I won’t ask anymore.”
Yun Isadang sighed, lowering her head as if tired.
“But why, are you getting married too, Yun Isadang?”
“I’ve found someone to marry.”
“But you didn’t have a boyfriend.”
Yun Isadang pointed her chin to the table opposite. The woman who had been looking at Nokhyun’s table until just now quickly averted her gaze.
“She’s been staring at me since the last class. It’s obvious she’s fallen for me. I’ll try talking to her today. No, should I wait until she talks to me?”
“Do you want me to donate a dishwasher for washing dishes?”
“That’s a good idea.”
“Even jokes aren’t welcomed, it’s really not fun. How did you get married when it’s so dull like this…?”
Nokhyun stared at Yun Isadang without saying a word.
As if saying, ‘Don’t you understand even if you look at me?’
“No, you got married because of your face? Just for that reason?”
“She was my ideal type.”
Whether it was a joke or sincere, Yun Isadang shook her head with a confused expression.
It was a moment when she was about to finish cleaning up and return home.
A woman from the opposite table approached Nokhyun’s table.
Yun Isadang waited with an expression that seemed to say, ‘Well, go ahead and talk to me.’
“…Would you like to have a cup of tea with me by any chance?”
The woman couldn’t look directly at Nokhyun, seeming embarrassed.
“Sure. Should we go to a cafe I know? There’s a quiet place nearby.”
Yun Isadang spoke as if she had prepared.
Where should I book for the wedding? There’s no plan for the second child yet, but I hope it looks like me.
Yun Isadang planned for a happy future.
The woman who lifted her head looked momentarily surprised but soon smiled.
“Under this, my friend has a cafe. Shall we go there?”
The woman said shyly.
“Sure, shall we?”
“Let’s go together.”
The woman said to Nokhyun, who was about to leave alone.
“Yes, let’s go together.”
Yun Isadang quickly grabbed Nokhyun’s wrist. The woman seemed to be shy and didn’t seem to want to have a private conversation.
“That’s enough.”
“Oh, don’t say that. I’ll buy you 300 candies.”
Yun Isadang urgently whispered to Nokhyun’s ear.
Nokhyun looked at the woman, who avoided eye contact again, and nodded as if he understood something.
“Okay, 500.”
“Ah, the richest person in Korea.”
The three of them sat down in the cafe. While Yun Isadang went to buy coffee, the woman occasionally glanced at Nokhyun, then pursed her lips, avoiding eye contact again.
Returning quickly, Yun Isadang placed coffee in front of each person.
“What’s your name? And your age?”
Yun Isadang asked what she was curious about first.
“I’m Kim Dallae, 25 years old. I’m a college student.”
“Oh, is it summer vacation now?”
“Yes.”
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.
