The response was positive, and the rigid atmosphere softened.
“But I plan to stay in this room all week with my lover.”
At the lasciviously licking voice in her ear, her hormones reacted strongly. Da Jung swallowed dryly, looking into the man’s calm eyes.
“…That’s fine, too.”
As his large hand wrapped around Da Jung’s waist, pulling her close, his lips slid over her earlobe and eyelid.
At the sensual breath that tickled her skin, her heart pounded like mad.
The feeling was unfamiliar and strange, but not unpleasant. No, it was good. It was exciting, and her heart felt as if it were going to burst.
When a gentle hand encircled and held her nape, Da Jung’s breath halted. An uncanny heat bubbled up at the touch brushing her pulsating delicate skin.
Soon, as a dizzying breath swallowed her lips, Da Jung’s eyes firmly shut.
When he woke up, touching the corner of his eyes, the woman was not in sight.
The man, who lazily swept back his hair and got out of bed, trampled over the clothes discarded like rubble as he moved on.
Opening the wallet that had been on the table, his eyebrows slightly lifted.
The passport, watch, and cash in the wallet were untouched. Other than the woman, nothing else was missing.
He casually put on clothes and headed down to the counter.
After exchanging a few words with the host, he went outside, squinted in the sunlight, and lit a cigarette.
“She tricked me.”
The woman had tricked him in just one night, though he had thought he had a week.
His vision spun as he took a drag of the cigarette, which he hadn’t smoked for a while.
He maintained his foggy consciousness and slowly rubbed his neck with his palm. The sensation of the woman’s lips brushing past faintly came back to him.
Spending the night with the woman was impulsively done.
He admitted he played what seemed like a seductive prank due to his clumsy behavior. It was also true that he fell for her scheme.
He had no regrets. His principle was to indulge the body but not consume emotions. It was a rule he never broke before.
He just found it odd. She didn’t steal anything, but why did she disappear without a word?
Typically, women who disappear like this at vacation spots were all the same. Money or valuables. He would have willingly given them if asked, but usually, they were stolen.
Of course, he didn’t think a naivelooking and honest woman would do such a thing. It wasn’t her, judging from the way she turned serious over a notsoexpensive meal as if she was staking her life on it.
Or was it? She appeared pure and naive, but was her essence entirely different?
“I wonder…”
He exhaled a long puff of smoke and mumbled to himself when his phone in his trouser pocket vibrated.
He glanced at the screen before pressing the call button and pressed the stiff device to his ear.
“Why?”
『You rascal, you haven’t been answering your phone for days and are seriously upsetting your grandmother!』
The old man’s voice was bracing. The man exhaled a small sigh and grumbled like a whimper.
“I’m sleepy, hang up.”
『Why did you dismiss Han, the team leader, at the airport? Leaving the hotel you’ve nicely booked and where on earth are you holed up! Are you having three meals a day properly?』
The man let out a long sigh.
“I dismissed Han, the team leader, because he’s annoying, I’m holed up somewhere quiet, and I’ve been having three meals a day.”
What did he expect? Whether naive or weak, a woman is a woman. Women were never a trustworthy kind to begin with.
“Grandmother.”
『……?』
“I signed a contract.”
『You rascal! Didn’t I tell you not to sign just anywhere!』
Nothing was missing. If she didn’t steal anything, why did she run away without a word?
The questions were endless. Why did she need to disappear without leaving a single note, breaking the promised deadline? What could be the reason?
Did it disappoint after spending a night together? Was it not as satisfying as anticipated?
Suddenly, he laughed, finding the situation absurd.
How could it be? He felt a surge of annoyance at the fact he had those doubts.
She was too inexperienced to express disappointment or satisfaction. She was so clumsy at kissing that she had to worry about whether she could do it her own way.
“We had a week, but you took it in a day.”
“Who took it?”
“That would be a breach of contract. Should I sue?”
“Just tell me his name, I’ll handle it!”
“I don’t know. That’s why I’m annoyed.”
He meant it. He was so annoyed that he wanted to grab someone and beat them to a pulp.
“What on earth are you talking about?”
“End it.”
Finishing languidly, the man pressed the end button and put a hefty object into his pocket.
He squinted against the bright sun.
「YOO」
All he knew about the woman was her name, left on the accommodation register.
Soft ballad music flowed in the leisurely café.
Despite five tables being empty, Da Jung was restlessly wandering the hall, unable to sit quietly.
The jingling sound of the doorbell felt exceptionally loud as she endured the anxious time.
Sol rushed in through the door, took Da Jung’s hand, and dragged her to the bathroom.
“I bought three of each type, just in case.”
Sol took out a rustling bag from her apron pocket. She stealthily handed it over and pushed Da Jung into the bathroom.
“Hurry, hurry!”
“What should I do? What should I do?”
Da Jung looked as though she was driven into a corner, her feet moving restlessly.
A little over a month after returning from Spain, the thing that should have happened every month didn’t happen.
Just like Sol had said, she believed that what happened in Spain would be buried as a distant memory, and that was it.
What courage did she have to do that? The only explanation for that night was that she was crazy.
She was shocked when she woke up at dawn from a deep sleep and found a man sleeping next to her.
The unfamiliar sensations left all over her body were telling her that last night’s memory was not a dream.
Da Jung thought she was definitely spellbound by something.
Just like a female in heat seducing a male with strong genes, she had acted purely on instinct and ended up doing it.
She didn’t have the courage to face him when he woke up.
Regaining her senses belatedly, she ran to her room as if escaping, hurriedly packed her things, and dashed to the airport.
She thought it was over since they would never meet again, but it wasn’t.
“What are you going to do? You need to confirm it first.”
As soon as she sent Da Jung to the bathroom, Sol stuck to the door.
“How is it? Yoo Da Jung! Say something. Your friend is out of breath. Huh?”
A little later, the tightly closed bathroom door opened.
Da Jung, holding three pregnancy test sticks in her hand, appeared, swaying with her pale forehead in her hand.
“How is it? What happened?”
As soon as she heard the response, Sol quickly grabbed the sticks, as if she was about to lose her breath. Seeing all three sticks, Sol’s mouth fell open.
“Hey, Yoo Da Jung. You…”
“This is all your fault. Hmph!”
Da Jung blamed poor Sol while trying to avoid the fact that she had acted like an animal. Sol rolled her eyes in disbelief.
“Look at what this girl is saying. I told you to date, not to breed. You beast! Don’t you even know what contraception is?”
“No, it’s not! I said it’s not…”
Da Jung collapsed onto the floor, struggling. She really felt wronged and wanted to cry.
That couldn’t be it. No matter how loyal she was to her desires, she didn’t forget to take precautions. In that regard, it was rather the man who had taken more meticulous care.
All the preventive measures were perfect, without a single deviation from all the knowledge she was sure of.
But why!
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.
