“I’m really okay.”
A quarrel broke out in front of the black sedan.
The quarrel started from Ha Joon’s words about driving her home.
“I don’t think you should drive yet.”
“Thanks to Miss Su Ah, I’m really okay now.”
“Still…”
Looking awkward, she mumbled and averted her eyes, causing Ha Joon to chuckle.
“Are you worried that I might have an accident? I haven’t had an accident for 10 years.”
“No, it’s not that. I’m just afraid it might be troublesome for you.”
“Troublesome? Between us.”
“Between us?”
She was startled at the unexpected words, her eyebrows twitching.
Ha Joon slowly leaned his upper body towards her.
Close enough to touch if she just turned her head. His lips, which had been closed, slowly opened.
“The ‘us’ that shared a blanket.”
Huh? What did we share? Su Ah’s eyes widened.
Straightening his upper body, Ha Joon crossed his arms over his chest.
You covered me when I was asleep. That’s what his expression said.
“No, well, that day I…”
Su Ah’s face turned red as she realized what he meant.
“I know. You like it.”
Ha Joon quickly cut her off.
“Me? I like it?”
Yeah. I thought you were handsome. I thought your body was nice.
But that’s different from liking!
“You should have told me in advance. That you like it.”
“No! Why would I like you!”
“Me?”
“Yes! You just said that I like you.”
“No, I was talking about the bed.”
“The bed?”
At the sudden word, Su Ah’s eyes widened.
“Yes. Didn’t you come to the bed because you liked it? That’s what I meant…….”
His face twitched slightly, as if holding back a smile after he finished speaking.
“Ah! The bed? Right. I do like beds.”
Yes. In such cases, laughing is the best policy. Hahaha.
Su Ah forced a smile, raising the corners of her mouth.
“Oh? I thought you liked the living room that day…”
Oh no. Darn it.
“You said you’d drive me home. Let’s get going. Start! Start!”
Avoiding his gaze, Su Ah quickly climbed into the passenger seat at lightning speed, just like the day she had fled from the pension.
Heh. Cute.
Ha Joon faintly smiled and walked around the bonnet to sit in the driver’s seat.
‘What, what? Why is he looking at me like that?’
He sat in the driver’s seat and started to blatantly stare at Su Ah, to the point of embarrassment.
Even without turning her head, his gaze felt piercing enough to touch her cheeks.
Just as she was about to ask why he was staring at her, he began to lean his upper body towards her again, narrowing the distance.
‘Why? Why? Why is he coming closer again?’
Another crisis situation was upon her.
Unable to say anything, Su Ah just fidgeted with her lips and finally shut her eyes tightly.
Click.
‘……Click?’
At the unfamiliar sound, Su Ah’s eyes snapped open.
“You need to fasten your seatbelt.”
Ha Joon’s lips traced a beautiful arc upwards.
“Yes. Of course. We need to. Seat belts are lifelines. If you don’t, you get fined. Of course, we have to.”
Words that didn’t go through her head spilled rapidly from Su Ah’s flustered lips.
“Heh.”
Did she know what she was saying right now?
Seeing her flustered, Ha Joon’s suppressed laughter burst out.
Heh? Did he just laugh? No, did he scoff? This jerk!
Just as Su Ah was about to get angry, she paused.
It was because of the face that met her eyes.
‘Ah, that face that makes it impossible to get angry. What am I supposed to do?’
Su Ah pouted her lips and fiddled with the seatbelt.
“Are you nervous by any chance?”
His soft, low voice resonated in her ears.
“Ah, no? Why would I be nervous?”
Su Ah’s voice rose in surprise.
“Well, let’s just say that for now.”
Ha Joon, who had been staring at her, shook his head slightly.
“No. I didn’t get nervous at all…”
“Then, where should we go now?”
He cut her off midsentence and added with a slight smile.
“I’m asking where your home is, Su Ah.”
He could have asked where her home was from the beginning. What’s this ‘where should we go?’ It unnecessarily makes one’s heart flutter.
“I’ll put in the address.”
Afraid that he would see her flushed face if she kept looking at him, Su Ah quickly turned her head away.
As she bent her upper body to touch the navigation screen, Ha Joon’s gaze fell on Su Ah’s face.
Why couldn’t I recognize you that day?
Looking just as beautiful as you are.
His gaze moved, tracing Su Ah’s facial contours as if drawing a picture, from her forehead, to her eyes, nose, and lips.
“I’ve entered it all.”
As soon as she turned her head after speaking, her gaze met with Ha Joon’s.
‘Did he keep looking at me?’
Even though she thought it was unlikely, Su Ah’s pupils shook wildly as if they had lost their way.
“Then, let’s get going.”
Ha Joon, who quickly averted his gaze, pressed the pedal.
Even a while after they started, an awkward atmosphere lingered in the car.
“Um, if it’s not rude, can I ask why you did that back then?”
The first one to break the silence was Su Ah.
“Huh? What…”
“At the mountain. You tried to jump off.”
Ah. I couldn’t make any excuses that day.
A sudden thought crossed Ha Joon’s mind, and his lips parted slightly.
“That day, you misunderstood, Su Ah.”
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.
