It couldn’t be. Right now, I had nearly died. If that was the reason, he should have pretended not to know me till the end.
All I wanted was just one person on my side to rely on. Just that, and nothing more.
“……Shina.”
Just as Chun Sin-woo was about to speak again.
“Hey. I get it’s a touching family reunion, but could you pay some attention here? Are you just going to leave me standing here after calling me over, Jeokcheon?”
Someone interrupted.
Kalri waved her hand.
Suddenly, the silence descended. The air felt cold. Was it just my imagination? No, it really was a bit chilly.
A glance at Chun Sin-woo revealed his usual cold expression.
“And from what I hear, you were too harsh on your sister. If you behave like that, you……, cough. What are you doing!”
“I wasn’t supposed to let you live…….”
Chun Sin-woo approached Kalri with a distant voice and grabbed her face with his palm.
Then he squeezed it. Fizz, crackle.
“No, maybe this is better. You’re tough, so a little venting won’t kill you.”
“Ugh, hey. Are you really crazy!”
Fizz! Kalri shouted as she narrowly avoided a second squeeze. Her face turned bright red, looking ridiculous.
“Do you realize your mistake, Gunsin?”
“Ha, I admit I made a mistake, but……!”
Boom. Crack, whoosh, swish. All sorts of noises that shouldn’t be happening in an office ensued.
“They said you were strangled.”
“Oh? Did that happen? Wait, no! Hey, it’s cheating to pull out a weapon, hic! Are you really trying to kill me!”
Kalri was clearly at a disadvantage. Dan tried to intervene but got knocked out and thrown aside.
“Gunsin, you’ve crossed a line. So, you have two choices.”
Chun Sin-woo, holding a sword-gun, was bouncing like a fish in water.
“One, you die here.”
“Like I’ll die easily!”
“Two, you get beaten to the brink of death here.”
“You crazy bastard!”
Furniture around shattered. I cautiously approached Dan and dragged his body to a corner.
Sparks and flashes continuously streaked by. Flames seemed to arise but then repeatedly failed to ignite.
There were still many things I wanted to ask, but in this state, it was impossible. I left the room, leaving them behind.
I needed time to calmly sort out my thoughts. And I felt the need to organize the facts I had just heard.
Am I really Chun Sin-woo’s sister? Is it certain? If it turned out not to be true, then ‘he deceived me. Die.’ But if I truly was his sister, then what happens to me now? Why didn’t he tell me the truth sooner?
All sorts of thoughts swirled in my mind. I was so preoccupied that I didn’t notice bumping into someone in front of me.
“Uh?”
“Oh, sorry…”
I immediately apologized and was about to go on my way before the person called out to me.
“Hmm. This floor is only accessible to designated executives. How did you get in here?”
It was a familiar voice. Huh? Before I could respond, I was pushed aside. Thud, I hit the wall, and a dagger lightly pricked my throat.
“That, um… over there…”
Why am I in this situation again? Min Yushin’s smiling face seemed eerie.
“Oh, are you not a spy from another guild? I thought our Ha Young was someone targeting Cheonrang.”
Min Yushin spoke as if singing, then withdrew the dagger from my neck. My legs gave out.
Drip. I slid down the wall. He extended his hand to me.
“Seems you got quite scared. Well, it can’t be helped given the circumstances… But how did you get here?”
His inquiring eyes were cold. Smiling with his mouth, but his eyes were so cold. Unretracted killing intent made cold sweat run down my back. I stuttered my response.
“Just, ended up here…”
“Just?”
“…….”
Honestly, I wasn’t sure. I was so distraught coming here that I couldn’t remember how I got here.
Min Yushin’s expression turned ambiguous. He hummed and cocked his head, frowning.
Bang.
Something was thrown from behind the door. It was Kalri, unconscious. And then something popped out. Chun Sin-woo, with ‘I am pissed’ written all over his face, stomped over and said.
“Oh, Guild Master. I was just about to relay some news to you…”
Thump.
He punched Min Yushin right in the face.
“Why again!”
At least he wasn’t electrocuted this time. I cautiously distanced myself from them.
“Want to die?”
“No, at least tell me why you’re doing this. Ouch, ouch, ouch! It hurts! Ouch! Hey, neighbors! The guild master is assaulting a guild member!”
A ruthless beating ensued. With each punch, I felt a breeze, or was it just my imagination? I blankly watched the scene for a while.
As I watched, a sentence surged up to my throat.
“Stop, just stop!”
“…….”
The moment I shouted, Chun Sin-woo stopped. Min Yushin, who had somehow not bled despite the beating, adjusted his fallen glasses and looked over.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
