“You said you have something to sign.”

“Oh, yes! That, um, just a moment. I haven’t printed it yet······.”

There wasn’t a corner that he found pleasing. On top of that, he missed her even more.

Fatigue overwhelmed him. Without waiting for Manager Kang, Junhwi entered his office.

“Attorney Kwon. Why are you like this today? Is something wrong?”

But the desire to quietly rest was shattered. The lawyers entered, and Attorney Yang asked with concern.

“Attorney Yang.”

“Yeah. What’s up?”

“I have something to ask.”

Junhwi, narrowing his forehead, impulsively brought up the topic. He wanted to quickly remove the heavy stone that had been weighing on him since yesterday.

“About Yeonwoo. Is it about her? Love advice?”

Junhwi hesitated, an unusual occurrence.

There’s something written on his face because of Kim Yeonwoo.

“How did you know? Perfect Attorney Yang, who’s known for his professionalism, asking me something other than work, what else could it be?”

Attorney Yang understood the question Junhwi sent with his gaze and answered.
“Attorney Kwon, did you ask me about Yeonwoo in the past because of Attorney Yeonwoo? Remember? From the crack of dawn, he called me, saying, ‘Is there a place near the company that sells snacks that women would like?'”

“Oh, right.”

“Did you like her since then? No wonder I had a hunch. Oh my. You can’t fool the eyes of a married woman.”

Everything about Kwon Junhwi, scratching his eyebrows, engaging in conversation, was unfamiliar.

“But he’s less prickly and much better looking.”

The lawyer sat on the couch, wearing a friendly smile.

“Kwon Byun-ah. Have you subtly changed since you started dating? It seems like there’s a bit more humanity.”

“Stop the nonsense.”

“Why. It looks good. Attorney Kim made a person out of you.”

Even Junhwi, who was scrutinizing Attorney Yang, sighed lightly and sat on the opposite couch.

“No. He ruined it. The person.”

“Oh, my, he seems crazy. I envy hearing that from a married woman.”

It wasn’t just ruined; he was shaking and tossing around all his thoughts. It was hard to think of anything other than that woman. Moreover, he was making mistakes like a fool.

So, yesterday, after work, when Yeonwoo and I briefly stopped by a mart near the house.

When Yeonwoo, who said it was inconvenient because the food at home was running out, refused my suggestion to go because there was plenty of food in our refrigerator, things didn’t seem right.

“Attorney Kwon’s refrigerator is packed, I know that too.”

Yeonwoo stood next to Junhwi, pushing the cart, tapping the lettuce briskly as she spoke.

“But someday we have to go back to our house, so we eventually have to fill it up, right?”

“Do we have to do it that way?”

“Huh?”

“······Without going home, just stay together.”

“Oh, there’s sliced lettuce over there. It’s perfect! One is too big.”

Excited to find half a cabbage, Yeonwoo, who didn’t properly hear Junhwi’s words, was thrilled.

In the meantime, Junhwi, without realizing it, was about to say more revealing words.

Just merge our houses. I don’t want to break up.

Be by your side 24/7, 365 days a year, without wasting a minute or a second.

······But he didn’t think of saying such things while pushing the cart at the mart. Junhwi swallowed his words and followed Yeonwoo.

Thinking about it, he probably didn’t want to let Yeonwoo go from the beginning.

Even when they spent their first night together by chance at the year-end party, he didn’t want to part ways, so he seduced her, saying, ‘Our house refrigerator is full,’ and spent one more day with her.

It worked well at the time, but now it doesn’t. I need to find another way.

The sight of himself thinking like that felt desperate and ironic. Junhwi glanced at Yeonwoo, who was stuck at the tasting corner, with a wry smile.

“Mmm, it’s delicious.”

Yeonwoo sipped on the bibimmyeon in a small paper cup and hummed.

“It’s a new one this time, and our seasoning has lemon juice in it. There’s nothing more to add because it’s already tangy.”

“Wow. It’s chewy.”
“Here, try some, handsome husband.”

The lady also handed Junhwi a paper cup.

“······!”

Husband?

Husband. She called him a husband.

Hearing the two syllables for the first time in his life, Junhwi was so shocked that he emptied the paper cup without knowing whether he was drinking through his nose or mouth.

“In the summer, cold bibim noodles are the best. If you stock up and eat them with your wife, it’s perfect.”

“Oh. Yes.”

“Wow. Looking at the size of the husband, it wouldn’t be enough with just one bundle.”

Upon hearing that, Junhwi, as if possessed, put two bundles of bibim noodles in the cart.

“Are you newlyweds? You look good together.”

“Yeah, my husband is very handsome. Now, try the acorn jelly salad.”

Following Yeonwoo, who was leading the way, Junhwi also put acorn jelly in the cart.

“What’s all this? Why is there acorn jelly?”

As they moved forward, Yeonwoo, who saw the unexpectedly odd jelly in the cart, was surprised.

“We need to make seasoning for the acorn jelly and buy more vegetables to mix with it.”

“Just buy everything.”

“How can we buy all that? It exceeds the budget.”

“All I have is money. I’ll buy it, so just get everything.”

Why is he like this? Pretending not to see Yeonwoo’s puzzled look, Junhwi calmly pulled the cart.

Then, the next stop they were dragged to was the dumpling tasting corner.

“Newlywed, try this once. It’s hot.”

“Thank you.”

“Here. Husband, have one too.”

Two dumplings skewered on a toothpick were handed to Yeonwoo.

“This time, shrimp dumplings have just been released. It’s quickly cooled, so it’s very fresh, and it’s easy to cook. How does it taste, Mrs.?”

“Oh, it’s good, but I’m not Mrs.”

With a broken response, the dumplings that were smoothly being handed over fell into Junhwi’s throat.

“I haven’t gotten married yet.”

Emphasizing it twice.

With a stiffened Junhwi, Yeonwoo, who couldn’t understand what was happening, walked towards the checkout, saying that everything they needed was bought.

Why? Does he hate being linked with me as a married couple?

Is it because I’m not a man he considers marrying?

Or is he willing to date but not get married?

“Kim Yeonwoo.”

His mind became complicated. Unconsciously, Junhwi called out to Yeonwoo, who was walking ahead.

I should ask. Whether he dislikes me or dislikes marriage. Or maybe both.

I need to know the cause to find a solution.

But when Yeonwoo turned around at Junhwi’s call, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything.

“Just checking. To see if anything was left.”

Actually, it was avoidance due to fear. Fear of saying he really didn’t want to get married.

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.

Su Heng assists a divine lord in his cultivation, aiming to make him experience all the sufferings of love, so that he can attain the Great Dao.
