GN entered the cultural business after rising to the ranks of a major company in the distribution industry. After acquiring a cable broadcasting company, GN Entertainment was sent Jinhan with the goal of fostering stars.
Unlike traditional industries, there were no limits to cultural business.
If content tailored to the public’s taste succeeded, astronomical profits were obtained.
“This is crazy.”
There was a reason Chairman Yoo generously invested in GN Entertainment. To GN, the celebrity planning agency GN Entertainment was like a factory producing content.
However, the production factory kept malfunctioning.
By now, Chairman Yoo suspected that Jinhan liked Haeju.
“No way?”
While investigating with Han Jintae, Kwak’s director’s movie seemed to be worthwhile.
Coincidentally, Haeju was the lead in that movie, and knowing that Dojun was an investor…
“So that’s it.”
Chairman Yoo’s greed had shaped GN as it was now.
He probably hoped that Jinhan, his son, would be like him.
The Jinhan Chairman was currently looking at; it was evident how pathetic he must appear.
So, he was even angrier. This was an act of open disregard for himself, who bore the responsibility of a company.
Jinhan, arriving at the company’s main gate, stopped for a moment.
After organizing his thoughts, he went to the manager’s office.
“Hyun Sung, come see me.”
“Yes, Director.”
Hyun Sung, who had been busy all day, took a short break before being called again.
In the office, Jinhan was rinsing his face with cold water.
“You took the CCTV footage from Haeju’s waiting room during the press conference, right?”
“……!”
“I just came back from the control room.”
“W-Well.”
“Tell me honestly. Why did you take that footage?”
Under Jinhan’s pressing, Hyun Sung lowered his head deeply.
Uncertain of what answer to give, he tightly closed his eyes.
“Which company do you belong to? Whom do you work for?”
“…For Haeju noona.”
“What?”
“I work for Haeju noona.”
“Could it be that you gave that footage to President Park Dojun?”
With no answer from Hyun Sung, Jinhan felt a burning sensation inside.
Seemingly knowing the reason, he erupted in anger.
“Why did you secretly take it outside?”
“…….!”
“You should have at least consulted with me!”
“But you weren’t there at that moment.”
“What?”
“No one could protect Haeju noona. Do you know how frightening the atmosphere was at that time?”
“Even if that’s true, does it mean your actions were justified?”
“That’s not the case.”
Jinhan intended to persuade Chairman Yoo to settle the matter somehow. Even if it meant leaving GN Entertainment himself.
But if that video fell into Dojun’s hands, it would be a problem.
“Hyun Sung, exclude yourself from all tasks.”
“Director!”
“Return the car key, employee card, and wait for disposal.”
“……Yes.”
Turning his back on the agitated Jinhan, Hyun Sung bowed deeply. It had been uncomfortable for him to hold his position in the first place.
About to leave the office, Jinhan grabbed the doorknob.
However, experiencing such an event, Hyun Sung felt truly unpleasant.
“Director.”
“I don’t want to hear it. Just leave.”
“Our team leader often contacts Chairman-nim.”
“……!”
“Just mentioning it.”
Returning to his seat, Hyun Sung took out everything from his desk, including the car key received from the company. With a gloomy face, he wrote a leave application and handed it to the team leader.
“I’ll take a break at home until tomorrow.”
“Hey, what’s this all of a sudden?”
Without responding, Hyun Sung turned away.
After leaving the company, he sent a message to Dojun’s phone.
It seemed like he would be cut soon.
A call came from an unknown number that might wander anywhere without purpose.
Asking who it was, he introduced himself as Manager Song.
Where are you right now?
After Manager Song picked him up in a car, they arrived at a secluded villa near Seoul.
The tranquil surroundings harmonized with the autumn scenery.
As Hyun Sung got off, Haeju came out and greeted him.
“Hyun Sung!”
“Noona!”
Seeing Haeju, Hyun Sung couldn’t hold back his sorrow and tears welled up.
In a heartwarming manner, Haeju comforted him.
“Let’s talk inside.”
“Yes.”
Inside, Haeju seemed more vibrant than before.
After struggling for the past few days, Hyun Sung finally felt a sense of relief.
He confessed what happened today to Haeju and Dojun.
Dojun, who had been quietly listening, raised his head.
“Did you resign and come?”
“If so, what about Haeju noona being left alone?”
“You can sign a separate contract with Haeju.”
“Oh!”
“Or you can work with me.”
“If that’s the case, you should have told me in advance.”
“Anyway, if I say to leave, leave.”
“Yes.”
“Then, is your problem solved?”
“Oh, really?”
Hyun Sung’s depression, which seemed like it would bury him, was completely lifted after half a day. It would be better to contract with Haeju and not witness the company’s dirty state.
“Let’s have dinner here before you leave. I have an appointment, so I need to go out for a bit.”
“Understood!”
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.
