By the time they left the safari land and arrived home, darkness had already fallen.
“……Thank you for today.”
Dajung, standing at the front door, embraced the back of Siwoo’s head.
“Siwoo should also say thank you to the gentleman.”
“Sir! Thank you.”
With his hands on his belly button, Siwoo bowed deeply. Then, as if he’d never been polite, he sprang towards Junghyuk.
“Give me Siwoo’s! ”
He was pointing at the giant tiger that Junghyuk had carried on his back.
There were various sizes of tiger dolls displayed in the souvenir shop at the entrance of the zoo, and Dajung had contemplated which size was appropriate for Siwoo.
Meanwhile, Junghyuk had already paid for the biggest tiger doll.
Although she tried to dissuade him, saying it would only be a burden, she was rebutted with the argument that how could they raise a child, whose future aspiration was to be a tiger, with such meagre resources.
Junghyuk pulled the tiger doll that he had been carrying on his back forward into a hug.
“It’s heavy. Open the door.”
He intended to bring it inside. Hesitant, Dajung shielded the number key with her body and pressed it.
As soon as the door opened, the tiger doll was dropped inside the entrance like a heap of luggage.
So far, so good. But when Junghyuk suddenly tried to remove his shoes, Dajung, taken aback, hastily grabbed his arm.
“Mr. Cha Jung Hyuk, are you planning to come in?”
The fact that he knew to take off his shoes based on the previous incident was a surprising development. However, him entering her house at his own discretion was unacceptable.
Junghyuk’s eyes widened as if he found the situation absurd. It was as if he was asking what was wrong with him entering this house.
Their gazes intertwined, and for a moment, they had a silent tug of war in the air.
“I’m hungry. Feed me.”
He tried to make an excuse, but it was already too obvious.
“No! Mr. Cha Jung Hyuk, go eat at your own place.”
“You’re going to eat anyway. Yoo Siwoo is also hungry.”
He tried to use his young son as a means to persuade her, but the landlord was absolutely resolute.
“That’s why. I’m busy taking care of Siwoo, so Mr. Cha Jung Hyuk, go eat at your own place.”
“…….”
Junghyuk’s eyes reflected a lot of contemplation. His gaze was directed at Siwoo, who was in the entrance, playfully hitting the tiger doll.
Mom! Let the gentleman eat with Siwoo!
Just one word would have done the trick…….
However, Yoo Siwoo disappointed him. Siwoo, who had stopped hitting the tiger and stood up, bowed deeply.
“Goodbye, sir!”
Then, dragging the tiger doll, he disappeared into the house.
Junghyuk exhaled a sigh of disappointment. Even after being kidnapped and shown a tiger, his own son was ungrateful.
While he stood there not knowing what to do, Dajung pushed him outside the door.
“Mr. Cha Jung Hyuk. Thank you for today. But I really wish you wouldn’t do this anymore.”
“What.”
“Honestly, it’s burdensome. You know that I’m going to marry Dojun, my senior, don’t you?”
“…….”
Upon the mention of the marriage to Dojun, Jung Hyuk’s face hardened.
The problem that irritated his nerves enough to give him a fever was mentioned again. For some reason, or perhaps because he hadn’t thought about it, he had been in a good mood that day.
But he never expected to ruin this good mood in such a way.
“Don’t look like that. Cha Jung Hyuk, you already knew about it.”
“Yoo Da Jung.”
There was a bit of excitement in his hand as he tugged on Da Jung’s elbow. His breath was short and a cold stare poured out.
“So what was yesterday about? You like me, don’t you?”
“Who, who likes you! That was a mistake. Because you said Cha Jung Hyuk was sick…..”
Her face was burning so much as she recalled the scene she had just forgotten, she didn’t know where to look.
“So if someone says they’re sick, you do this with anyone?”
“Cha Jung Hyuk, you’re going to marry Principal Oh Hyun Ah, right? So let’s pretend it never happened. We both made a mistake…..”
Da Jung, who somehow seemed a little shameless, bit her lip.
I’m not sure. Was it really a mistake? But it had to be a mistake, and it should never happen again.
While she used Dojun to push him away, Jung Hyuk had a real fiancée.
It was no different than committing adultery. Da Jung didn’t want to be an embarrassing mother to Siwoo anymore.
Da Jung shook off the hand that was gripping her elbow. And she spoke calmly.
“So Cha Jung Hyuk, I hope you never show up in front of Siwoo and me again. Please.”
Bam!
Jung Hyuk stood in front of the fiercely closed door, pushing him out for a while.
He sighed deeply and rubbed his furrowed brows habitually. After calming the brief surge of excitement, he slightly furrowed his smooth brow line.
Yoo Da Jung is always like this. Just when he thought he was getting closer, she was suddenly further away.
No matter how much she tries to run away, she will be caught.
But it’s tiring to keep his nerves on edge with the anxiety that she might disappear from his sight.
Then what.
What to do. Just block the escape hole.
“Are you alright?”
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.
