Do Jun came down to drink water and went out to the garden.
Looking at the brightly risen moon, he threw out an unimpressed, rough impression.
“The moon is quite big.”
“Don’t you make a wish?”
“Did you make one?”
“Sort of.”
He put his hand on his waist and narrowed his eyes. He twisted the corners of his mouth and suddenly spoke.
“Wish, done.”
“What did you wish for?”
“Secret. How about you?”
“I also have a secret.”
The two of them went up to the second floor side by side.
Hae Joo, who came to the room, recalled the wish she had made with President Park a while ago.
It wasn’t a great wish.
It was to hope that Do Jun was not lying, not even a little.
It was the first wish Hae Joo had ever made in her life.
On Monday morning, Hae Joo woke up early.
As soon as she stepped outside, the third floor was bustling.
“What’s going on?”
Do Jun was lying down without even a blanket and President Park was busy on his own.
President Park was reminiscing about his busy days, flipping through old account books he used to use.
“This woman is several months overdue on her interest. Oh my, President Kim too?”
Hae Joo quietly approached Do Jun.
He had struggled all night and was sleeping restlessly.
“Mr. Do Jun.”
Do Jun raised his heavy eyelids. He rubbed his face painfully and let out a sigh.
“I couldn’t bring my father because of this.”
“I didn’t know it was this bad.”
“He hasn’t lost his mind, but he can’t escape from the past.”
The housekeeper called after preparing breakfast.
The three of them went down to the first floor and had their meal first.
Throughout the meal, President Park was constantly complaining about being hungry.
“You’ve had enough.”
“My liver’s not even filled. How am I supposed to work like this?”
Just then, the caregiver arrived for work.
Do Jun was about to catch up on sleep when Manager Song hurriedly came to find him.
“President, John from our Hong Kong meeting has sent a proposal.”
“Really?”
“You should hurry to the office.”
Do Jun’s gaze was fixed on Hae Joo.
He had planned to take President Park to the hospital around lunchtime and then go to work.
“I’ll take my father later, you take care of your things.”
“I’m going to be home today too.”
Do Jun, having changed his clothes, set off for work.
With the caregiver there, it seemed unlikely anything would happen.
“I’ll be back.”
All morning, President Park wandered around the house talking to himself. Most of it was nagging, but no one paid any attention.
The caregiver, who had bathed him and changed his clothes, prepared to take him to the hospital. Hae Joo took the opportunity to approach President Park.
“Sir, I have something to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“Why was it me?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m curious why you chose me as your daughterinlaw.”
“Because you were pretty.”
“Is that all?”
Just like yesterday, President Park laughed heartily.
His unfocused eyes looked at Hae Joo and he spoke in a clear voice.
“My son liked you.”
“Do Jun?”
“No. Ie Jun.”
“……!”
“I don’t know what he was thinking. He even threw away the money he was supposed to receive and connected you.”
“What do you mean?”
“Ie Jun told me he knew you and asked for a favor. When I looked into it, your mother was tormenting you too much.”
“So what?”
“He felt so sorry for you. He wanted to help you get out of that house.”
Hae Joo didn’t understand what he was saying even after hearing it.
While she was confused, President Park’s memory continued.
“But this guy went and registered our marriage under my younger brother’s name all of a sudden.”
“Did Mr. Do Jun know that fact?”
“Hush, it’s a secret. Our Lee Jun wanted only me to know.”
If President Park was clearminded, this story was a secret that Do Jun also didn’t know.
From Hae Joo’s perspective, it felt like she had been hit on the head.
“Well, when I later found out, it seemed that Do Jun had been fighting because of you.”
Hae Joo, who should have asked why, her lips trembled. With a clenched fist, she barely managed to open her mouth.
“Why?”
“He’s originally rough. Despite being good, he was like that.”
“…..”
“What could the dying Lee Jun have done to protect you?”
“Protect me?”
“Park Kyung Ae is a bad person.”
“That’s right. She was a bad person.”
“I found out she tried to sell you off to another debtor besides me.”
During the conversation, a care worker put socks on President Park’s feet.
The unsettled Hae Joo went out into the garden.
“How dare she think of selling me off again!”
Mother Kyung Ae was a devil.
She was a beast who gave up being a human and drove Hae Joo to the brink.
How could she do that to her own daughter.
From the start, to Kyung Ae, Hae Joo was nothing more than disgusting waste pulled out from her stomach……
“Damn it! So annoying.”
It would have been better if she didn’t know. By asking unnecessarily, the wound she had just covered became a sore.
Her head was dizzy.
Looking at her state after so many years, it wasn’t President Park who was trapped in the past, it was her.
“Madam, I’ll go upstairs for a bit, so please stay here.”
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.
