Nodding, Brandon checked the time on his wristwatch.
It seemed like it was time to go to Roosevelt Hospital.
Eun Jo, having barely finished getting ready for work, came down to the first floor.
“……!”
The living room was filled with the pleasant aroma of coffee, and Kwon Jae Ha’s whistling served as the background music!
All last week, he’d kept Eun Jo from lifting a finger to do anything, even cooking or laundry.
And he’d mentioned that someone was taking care of household chores.
Eun Jo clenched her small fist, glancing back and forth between the neatly arranged breakfast table and Jae Ha, who was moving leisurely around the kitchen.
So, this was his plan… to lure me into the house.
She’d been tormented for days and suddenly felt enraged.
Someone even prepared Kimchi…
Jae Ha was impeccably dressed, right down to his wrinkle-free pants, shirt, and tie.
“You’re up. You sounded like you were dying, but you look pretty.”
“……Beast.”
“I made coffee, baked bread, and prepared a salad. Thanks for the compliment, sit.”
“Low-life.”
“Ha, keep it coming.”
“……”
“Ah, you need jam. Hold on.”
Jae Ha brought the jam and gently kissed Eun Jo’s forehead.
“Eat a lot. You have low stamina.”
“You’re the weird one! You’re… you’re like…”
“What a fruitful and spicy conversation to have in the morning, right?”
“What are you—childish!”
“Ah, I thought we were on a first-name basis. Sorry.”
“Stop with the insincere apologies! I can’t stand you.”
“You say I’m pretty at night, but act like this when the sun rises. You’re just a pretentious twit.”
“……What? I spoke the truth! It’s daylight! As if it’s not enough that you’re doing something underhanded, you also go on pointing it out……”
“Ah, speaking of pointing it out, we don’t do it in the dark, do we?”
Pervert[Dash]Jae Ha silently shaped his lips into a wink.
Quickly closing her mouth, Eun Jo lowered her head and spread jam on the well-toasted bread.
I have to be careful.
Just the other day, I was fooled by his tricks and narrowly avoided being late.
Even at twenty-two, he didn’t act like this[Dash]Kwon Jae Ha is not normal.
Unlike me, who was visibly losing weight day by day, he seemed like he was taking some excellent medicine.
Going to bed late and waking up at dawn, clearly using more energy, yet irritatingly energetic.
At this rate, I’m going to get osteoporosis.
Eun Jo purposefully looked away from his glancing eyes and took a big bite of the crispy bread.
Then she took a sip of milk and pulled out her trump card.
“Min Ah has something to do, so Da On will come over this evening. Is that okay?”
Jae Ha, who was spreading butter on the bread, paused and blinked.
“Sure, of course.”
“Hmph.”
“Hmph? What does that mean? Because Dong Goo Ri will save you?”
That’s ridiculous.
“Don’t talk like that, even about an innocent child. It’s uncomfortable to hear.”
“Eun Jo, even if they’re innocent, by the time boys are twelve, no, these days, even when they’re ten.”
“Enough! Our Dong[Dash]no, Da On is still a child!”
As if that was absurd, Jae Ha chuckled.
“Alright, alright, everyone’s a child. Dong Goo Ri’s a child, you’re a child. Very tricky……”
I’ll go first[Dash]Eun Jo, who abruptly stood up, was quickly held back by Jae Ha.
“Fine! I won’t do it. Sit. You have to eat more.”
Eun Jo slapped away the large hand resting on her buttocks.
Whenever he has a chance, whenever an excuse comes up[Dash]
“Try this in front of a child.”
“Then? You’ll punish me? How?”
“……”
Don’t fall for it. This is all calculated[Dash]a sinister scheme[Dash]
Eun Jo blinked her round, wide eyes.
Regardless, Jae Ha once again reached for her cheek.
It was quite cute how she’d have fun with him at night but turn red-faced and irritated in the morning.
“What should I gift this time, for Dong Goo Ri?”
“You don’t have to. You overdid it last time.”
“Still, he’s a precious guest. Besides chicken, what else does Dong Goo Ri like?”
Though it was irritating to hear him softly say ‘Dong Goo Ri[Dash]Dong Goo Ri,’ Eun Jo avoided Jae Ha’s hand that was stroking her cheek.
“I’ll cook. You tell me what you want to eat.”
“Me[Dash]what I want to eat, if I say it now? Will you give it right away?”
“Really…… I hate to see you.”
“Alright, alright, when you’re sober, rant all you want. You can’t do it at night.”
See[Dash]Jae Ha smiled with his eyes and took a bite of the bread.
Meanwhile, at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Registration number BS8068[Dash]Boeing 737 AXJ.
Blackstone Partners’ private jet had just taken off.
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.
