“Who is the father of the child?”
With a single retch, the wall of misunderstanding around this man became stronger and sturdier.
Assuming that because of her occupation as an actress, she would not willingly reveal the truth was apparent.
Given the circumstances that pointed only towards pregnancy, it was only natural to think so.
Suddenly overwhelmed with fatigue, Su Hee could not help but keep her mouth shut.
No matter how many times she clarified she was not pregnant, it seemed Seung Jo would not believe her.
“It’s not a lie. I just felt sick and vomited.”
Even though she was telling the truth, there was a tinge of pity in Seung Jo’s eyes.
As expected, Seung Jo did not believe her at all.
“I told you it’s really not that.”
Raising her voice made it look like she was rather revealing a secret in irritation.
“Are you hiding it because you are a person who cannot take responsibility for Miss Oh Su Hee?”
The words that would drive one mad and jump in frustration were meant for times like this.
Brushing her hair back, Su Hee contemplated letting him continue with his misunderstanding.
However, the rumors floating around were holding back Su Hee’s steps.
If by any chance, Seung Jo spilled today’s incident to the entertainment industry insiders…
The mere thought of it was dizzying.
“It’s absolutely not the case. You’re way off even if you’re guessing now.”
She tried to calm down and persuade Seung Jo, but he had already crossed the river of misunderstanding.
Despite Su Hee’s firm denial, Seung Jo was deep in his own thoughts.
“Excuse me, CEO.”
Wondering what he was thinking with her in front of him, Su Hee raised her hand.
She was waving her hand in front of his field of vision, but Seung Jo held her hand and lowered it.
And a voice, one spoonful more serious, flowed out from Seung Jo’s mouth.
“I will take responsibility.”
A gradually deepening wrinkle engraved itself between Su Hee’s once clear eyebrows.
“What… What did you say?”
“I said I will take responsibility for Miss Oh Su Hee.”
She hadn’t asked because she misheard. Both her ears were fine.
She just didn’t understand and asked.
Su Hee placed her hand, from which Seung Jo’s fingertips had fallen, on her chest.
“Why would you take responsibility?”
Various emotions were vividly mixed on Su Hee’s face.
It was bewildering, surprising, and absurd.
On the contrary, Seung Jo’s tone and expression did not show any significant change.
“I will help Miss Oh Su Hee to return safely even after giving birth.”
So saying he would take responsibility meant helping Su Hee return, not for Su Hee’s child.
Su Hee realized only then that she had been mistaken.
“I understand that it becomes difficult for actresses to return to work after giving birth.”
“……”
“But Ms. Oh Su Hee could be considered to have broadened her acting range.”
This man was approaching Su Hee strictly on business grounds.
When he abruptly took responsibility for her, she assumed he had personal feelings for her.
But it turned out his hidden intentions were pure.
Su Hee, who had been quietly listening to Seung Jo, opened her lips.
“I have a question.”
“What is it?”
There were no production companies that had ever praised her so highly.
They were all people who evaluated her based on money and popularity.
It was a job where you were loved for your appearance, so it was natural for it to be that way.
But Seung Jo was different. He was betting on Su Hee’s uncertain future, going against what seemed obvious.
“Why did you make such a proposal to me, CEO?”
Maybe Seung Jo was living in the past.
He reached out to Su Hee, who was floundering in crisis due to old memories.
Someone would say, why are you so tied up with that old thing that the other person doesn’t even remember?
That they forgot because you weren’t important in their life.
But I remembered.
I cherished it.
So vivid that I still remember everything she said to me.
She could tell her everything, but it didn’t seem like today was the right time.
So for now.
“Let’s say it’s because I’m a fan of Ms. Oh Su Hee.”
He decided to stay as her fan.
“Because you’re a fan… Just because of that?”
“Yes, because I’m a fan of Ms. Oh Su Hee.”
Simply as a fan, he had shown me kindness for that reason alone.
Su Hee was about to open her mouth again, her doubts not completely gone.
“Su Hee, are you okay?”
Chul Yong came looking for her when she didn’t show up no matter how long he waited.
Su Hee, who couldn’t conclude the conversation, alternately looked at Seung Jo and Chul Yong.
“Oh, I’m fine.”
“I was surprised because you suddenly looked unwell. Should we go to the hospital?”
“It’s not bad enough to go to the hospital. I think I can rest at home.”
By the time she had run out of the office, her face had regained its color.
He thought about forcibly taking Su Hee to the hospital, but it seemed like it would only attract more controversy.
“If you feel worse while resting at home, contact me right away.”
“I will.”
“Let’s go now.”
Chul Yong took the car keys out of his pocket and led the way.
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.
