It was a really random request. Not something else, but Chae Yoon’s picture.
“Why do you suddenly want Lady Song’s picture?”
“Don’t nag, if I tell you to bring it, bring it.”
The voice, seemingly gritting its teeth, seemed ready to explode if touched even slightly.
What on earth had happened to make him so, Woo Jong was deeply curious, but it would do no good to upset Jae Oh’s feelings here.
“Yes. Understood.”
Briefly answering, Woo Jong left the office.
Hearing Woo Jong leaving, Jae Oh let out a deep sigh and firmly pressed his temples with his thumb and middle finger.
Since that day, he had not been able to sleep properly at night for the past 5 days.
If it was just the lack of sleep, it wouldn’t have been like this.
His restless body, caused by some irritation, kept circling in Jae Oh’s head, making his daily life uncomfortable.
He tried to overcome it by exercising morning and night, draining his strength, he tried everything, but it was in vain.
Persistent thoughts made him writhe in selfloathing.
Thanks to that, he was actively avoiding even conversing with Chae Yoon.
It couldn’t be helped. Just the thought of Chae Yoon put him in this state, let alone seeing her face….
“No. Can’t see.”
He did not want to imagine what would happen next.
However, he couldn’t stay like this forever, so Jae Oh came up with a way to face Chae Yoon without feeling anything.
The method he thought of after much consideration was to practice looking at Chae Yoon’s pictures.
Finally having thought of a solution, he was not happy at all. He was afraid of how much more selfloathing he would feel looking at the picture that Woo Jong brought.
“What am I doing, really.”
In the midst of Jae Oh’s physical and mental turmoil, Woo Jong brought Chae Yoon’s picture.
Receiving Chae Yoon’s picture from Jae Oh, he made a gesture for him to leave.
It was a truly feeble gesture.
Woo Jong left his seat looking at his strange boss with a mix of curiosity and worry, and Jae Oh sighed deeply, staring at the picture of Chae Yoon that Woo Jong brought.
With a halfresigned gaze, he examined Chae Yoon’s face carefully.
Her round eyes that contributed the most to her gentle impression, her small but prominent nose that suited her small face, and her unusually red and plump lips that had impulsively kissed me not long ago.
This combination was more than…..
Beautiful.
He let out a sigh.
Now…..
“He’s crazy up and down.”
He hadn’t thought anything special seeing this face after knowing Chae Yoon until now.
Ah, he had thought about it seeing the face of a woman who sometimes giggles.
Song Chae Yoon is better, he thought.
But that was merely a comparison, and except for that time, he didn’t think of her, so Chae Yoon’s face in his mind was just Song Chae Yoon’s face, not a pretty face.
But why did I find her pretty now?
His rapt gaze seemed to be drawn and stuck to Chae Yoon’s lips.
Her lips, wearing a light smile, appeared moist.
Staring at them, I was reminded of the time when I actually faced these lips.
A faint flicker spread in his deep eyes.
“Ah, what am I thinking, really.”
Just like last time, here we go again.
Jae Oh shook his head vigorously, trying to shake off his rising thoughts.
However, the hallucination did not disappear, continuing to torment him, Jae Oh let out a weary breath and put down the photo of Chae Yoon he was holding.
Her lightly smiling face was particularly dazzling today.
((()))
A few days later.
“Jae Oh comes in late and leaves early, and Chae Yoon doesn’t come out once she enters her room, right?”
“Yes.”
An incredulous sigh escaped from Ji Pil’s lips upon receiving the secretary’s report.
‘No, if this guy isn’t going to do anything, why did he stop Chae Yoon from leaving?’
Was it just a passing comment?
If so, Ji Pil clicked his tongue, thinking what kind of person is this.
‘Ah, but it’s not that there’s no interest at all……’
Guessing from Jae Oh’s reaction after the divorce talk came out, Jae Oh was definitely interested in Chae Yoon.
Thinking that he hadn’t realized his feelings himself, he helped Jae Oh. Because if he decided to, he would be in a place where he could see her immediately, and thus have more opportunities to talk.
But the guy he thought had some thoughts had been busy avoiding Chae Yoon for the past few days.
Ji Pil let out a sigh at Jae Oh’s actions.
As if having a headache, he was lost in thought with a grim expression, when he asked his secretary, who was by his side.
“When can Chae Yoon move into her house?”
Chae Yoon didn’t know, but there was a house he had prepared to send her off immediately if there was progress between them. Since it had been maintained all along, all she had to do was move in, so the secretary immediately replied.
“She can move in right away.”
Hearing the secretary’s words, Ji Pil slowly nodded several times and then gave an order.
“Then get it ready for her to move in tomorrow, and call Chae Yoon.”
A while after that.
Chae Yoon visited Ji Pil’s room.
Chae Yoon, who sat down in front of Ji Pil, who was waiting for her, sipped the hot tea in front of her.
“Why did you call me?”
After giving a kind smile, Ji Pil asked with a nonchalant expression.
“Recently, any issues with Jae Oh?”
Chae Yoon’s hand, which was taking the tea cup to her mouth, stiffened.
There was no way Ji Pil knew what had happened between Jae Oh and her. However, the situation at that time kept repeating in her head, so Chae Yoon, who felt like the thief was feeling his own foot, asked back.
“What… happened?”
Her questioning voice trembled.
“Just, Jae Oh prevented you from leaving. So, I had some expectations.”
Upon hearing Ji Pil’s words, Chae Yoon awkwardly lifted the corners of her mouth.

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.
Intro
