Mina and Yeonju sat around a long table. The two were at a famous Korean restaurant known for its delicious food, and the table was filled with appetizing dishes.
“It’s so delicious.”
After eating, Mina expressed her happiness with a contented expression.
“It’s been a long time since I had a table full of Korean dishes like this. How is everything so delicious?”
“I’m glad you like it.”
The two continued their conversation while enjoying the meal. As they exchanged stories and caught up with each other, time flew by.
“Oh, by the way, Unni, is there someone you’re meeting?”
The dishes that filled the table were cleared, and it was time for dessert and tea. When Yeonju asked, Mina replied.
“Meeting someone?”
“Yes. If Unni doesn’t have anyone to meet, I have someone I’d like to introduce.”
Mina said with a nonchalant tone, “I don’t have anyone to meet, but it’s okay. Blind dates can be a bit burdensome.”
“Don’t worry and just meet him once. His name is Jinwook, and he’s doing business in Italy. I briefly met him when he visited Korea before. He left a very good impression, and he’s meticulous and affectionate.”
“…”
“As soon as I saw him, I thought he would suit Unni well. If Unni is okay with it, just once…”
Before Yeonju could finish her sentence, Mina shook her head.
“Thanks for thinking of me. But I’m really okay.”
Mina added with a perplexed expression, “Besides, it’s not a situation where I can meet a man.”
Yeonju gave Mina a slightly puzzled look. She wondered why Mina couldn’t meet a man.
After hesitating for a while, Mina slowly opened her mouth.
“In fact, I’m…”
“…?”
“Pregnant.”
“!!”
Yeonju’s eyes widened.
“Pregnant?”
“Yeah.”
“Really?”
The surprised Yeonju exclaimed, “Congratulations!”
“… Yeah. Thanks.”
“No, when…”
Wait a moment.
The joyous Yeonju paused.
Didn’t Mina just say she wasn’t meeting anyone?
Something didn’t add up. Blinking her eyes several times, Yeonju asked her.
“Who is the child’s… I mean, the father?”
“I don’t know.”
A shocking answer came back. Yeonju, trying to suppress her confusion, asked again.
“You don’t know who the father is, but how did you get pregnant? You don’t even know the name?”
“… I don’t know the name either.”
“Do you know what kind of person he is or where he lives?”
Mina nodded slowly.
“…”
In the midst of Yeonju’s bewilderment, Mina calmly said, “About a month ago, I met a man. He saved me from almost being pickpocketed in Italy. We happened to meet again by chance in Paris.”
Yeonju listened attentively to her story with a serious expression.
“That night we met again, I was a bit drunk. Before I knew it, I spent the night with that man.”
“…”
“And a few days ago, I found out. I’m pregnant with that man’s child.”
Upon hearing the story, Yeonju asked, “You really don’t know his name or contact information?”
“… Yeah. I don’t know anything except that he’s incredibly handsome.”
“…”
Yeonju’s expression became serious. When Mina finished her story, Yeonju asked, “Are you really okay with not knowing anything about the child’s father?”
“It’s okay. It doesn’t matter who the child’s father is.”
“…”
“Don’t worry. I’ll raise this child well.”
Mina said to her.
“Unni. No matter what, you should let the child’s father know the truth. And raising a child is not an easy task.”
“But there’s nothing I can do. Even if I knew who he was, he wouldn’t accept it.”
Mina comforted Yeonju with a dark expression.
“Don’t worry. I’m really okay.”
“…”
“I can handle it on my own.”
As Mina spoke those words, her eyes looked determined and strong.
“Unni, I’ll be your support. If you need any help, just tell me.”
“Thanks. Your words alone make me feel stronger.”
Mina smiled brightly, but Yeonju still seemed somewhat conflicted.
“Let’s get up now. I’ll buy dessert.”
Mina stood up from her seat. Yeonju also rose from her seat with a confused heart.
As they opened the door and stepped outside the room, Yeonju, about to put on the shoes placed in front of her door, hesitated and glanced towards the corridor.
“Huh?”
She lowered her head upon spotting someone.
“Hello, sir. It looks like you’ve come for a meal.”
Mina followed Yeonju’s gaze and froze.
“!”
There stood the man she had spent a night with in Paris, the father of her child.
It was Inhyuk.
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.
