Hyunyoung and Yunhee slowly walked and sat side by side on a bench.
A slightly chilly breeze pleasantly touched their skin. The warm sunlight made it feel like early spring had already arrived.
During this time, Yunhee’s health had improved a lot.
“How’s your body?”
“It’s much better. Except for a bit of discomfort in my leg, I’m fine.”
Yunhee gently stroked the cane placed beside her. Hyunyoung felt a twinge in her heart as she looked at Yunhee’s cane.
“Chaeun went through a lot.”
“Yeah, well. Taking care of a sick mother is causing her a lot of trouble.”
“What will Chaeun do now? Professor Kim said you could be discharged.”
“She should be discharged. Chaeun also needs to find a job again.”
As the conversation turned to Chaeun, a shadow fell on Yunhee’s face. She had been relying on her sick mother for months. Sleeping on an uncomfortable hospital guardian bed and losing weight while taking care of Yunhee’s needs.
Watching Yunhee, who felt sorry and thankful at the same time, Hyunyoung nodded.
“Usually, you’re not so stubborn, and now you’ve become a good daughter. Taking care of a sick person is like catching a tiger alive.”
Yunhee said with bitterness. Hyunyoung nodded.
“Yunhee, if you go back to your usual self before you got sick, maybe Chaeun can find her own life.”
“That might be the case.”
“By the way, Yunhee, have you ever thought of trying kindergarten again?”
Yunhee looked at Hyunyoung with confusion and chuckled.
“Kindergarten? Will any kindergarten accept me with this body?”
“Why not? Your legs are just a little uncomfortable. We took over the kindergarten Minjun used to attend from the HY Foundation, and they need a new director. I’d like you to take charge.”
Yunhee looked at Hyunyoung in amazement and smiled wryly.
“Me? Is there a kindergarten that would accept someone like me?”
“Why wouldn’t there be? Your legs are the only issue. Minjun’s kindergarten has been acquired by the HY Group, and they need a new director. I think you’d do well.”
Yunhee spoke with a bitter tone. Hyunyoung nodded.
“Yunhee, maybe if you go back to how you were before, Chaeun can find her own life.”
“That might be true.”
“But, Yunhee, if you let Seoha take over the kindergarten, won’t it be too much for her?”
Yunhee said with a sarcastic expression to Hyunyoung.
“Do you want to give me a lot of work?”
“Yes, you need to work. That way, Chaeun can find her own life.”
“Using Chaeun as an excuse.”
“Actually, I trust your skills and experience. Your health has improved a lot, so you should return to your daily life. And it would be great if Chaeun could work at our kindergarten.”
Hyunyoung shrugged her shoulders up and down. Yunhee found it difficult to make a decision easily. She fidgeted with the drink bottle in her hand.
Prime Kindergarten was known for having many well-off kids, and it was commonly known that parents were particularly involved with the kindergarten.
Yunhee wasn’t sure if she, with her current condition, could manage the kindergarten well.
“Chaeun can work anywhere, but as for me, I’m not sure…”
“Why are you like this? Just because you’re a little sick, are you acting like you can’t do anything?”
“I’m afraid I might be a burden to you. Nowadays, moms are quite extraordinary.”
“Don’t worry about that. You did well even when you were in Yangpyeong, and you’ll do well now.”
Yunhee still had a worried expression. Hyunyoung held Yunhee’s hand and comforted her.
“I need you. Help me a bit.”
“I’ll think about it. What about Teacher Kim and Minjun?”
“I’ll ask Seoha. It’s better to do what Seoha wants. But selfishly, I wish she would continue attending the kindergarten at the HY Group headquarters. I’m living for the joy of seeing Minjun these days. That little one is so adorable.”
Thinking about Minjun, Hyunyoung’s face lit up.
Yunhee gave Hyunyoung a sarcastic remark.
“Oh, it’s pitiful for someone without a grandson to live like this. Minjun is a beautiful child. Why did you oppose it so much back then if you feel that way now?”
“Yeah, I was foolish.”
Looking at regretful Hyunyoung, Yunhee sipped her warm tea. For the past five years, Hyunyoung wanted to make up for things she couldn’t do for Minjun.
“The energy that a child gives is incredible. My life, which used to be black and white, has become colorful.”
“That’s why you couldn’t leave the kindergarten.”
“That’s why come to our kindergarten.”
Watching Hyunyoung convincing herself until the end, Yunhee shook her head reluctantly.
“You’re persistent. Well, with that personality, it’s probably why you lead such a big company. You’ll probably keep chasing me until I accept.”
“I know you well. Haha.”
Hyunyoung’s cheerful laughter warmed Yunhee’s heart.
On a holiday morning, Minjun woke up early with a smile on his face. He got up energetically and ran to Seoha’s room.
“Mom, Mom, Mom!”
“Yeah, Minjun. What’s going on?”
Seoha, still half-asleep, answered without opening her eyes. Minjun climbed onto Seoha’s bed and shook her.
“Mom, wake up! It’s already morning! We need to get ready quickly.”
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.
