Even after putting on her best outfit and makeup, she felt like a squid compared to Yoon Taeha she just saw. Even the extravagant venue suddenly seemed tacky.
“I’m fine.”
She forced a smile in response, but it couldn’t be as bright as before.
Shortly after, the ceremony began. The groom entered first, and Bora, holding her father’s arm, stood in front of the wedding aisle.
“Bride’s entrance.”
With gentle music playing, Bora, with a delicate smile, gracefully walked down the wedding aisle beside her father. Applause poured out generously for the beautiful bride.
When they were about halfway down the wedding aisle.
“Oh my god!”
“What’s that?”
Suddenly, the music stopped, and instead, surprised voices from the guests’ seats reached Bora’s ears. Wondering what was happening, she looked up and couldn’t believe her eyes.
On the large screen behind the officiant’s seat, instead of wedding photos, an inappropriate image appeared.
In a dark room, a naked man and woman entangled in each other’s arms looked somewhat familiar. Although the man’s face was not clearly visible, the woman’s face was unmistakable.
… For a moment, time seemed to stop for Bora.
Amidst the complete silence that engulfed the spacious wedding venue, the screen eventually switched to a video.
[“Oppa, they took my phone! Quickly!”]The woman, covering her naked body with a sheet, shouted nervously on the screen.
The chairman standing next to Bora shouted like thunder.
“What the hell is going on? Hurry up and turn it off!”
Some people rushed to the front, but the father, sitting in the ceremonial seat, stood up and shouted even louder.
“Just leave it!”
Thump, thump, thump. Following the shock, the screen turned pitch black. Watching it unfold, Bora thought of it as someone else’s business. Ah, they must have broken the phone back then.
From then on, only voices continued to flow.
[“Was it you from the beginning, Bora?”] [“I’m sorry, Director. I really messed up!”]Amidst the voices of the two women.
“Turn it off quickly!”
“Stop it!”
Voices of struggle and confrontation could be heard.
The guests looked at Bora with bewildered and shocked eyes. However, none of it reached Bora’s ears. Bora stared blankly at the pitch-black screen, forgetting to even blink.
“[Lee Bora.]”
“Yes? Yes, Director.”
“I said everything looked good on me, right? Then, take it all.”
With Si-hyun’s voice being the last, the sound stopped, and Bora thought.
Well, it wasn’t a big deal.
Before a wedding, such incidents could happen to anyone, right?
Besides, that girl took mine first.
Right? As if saying so, the groom glared at Bora with his teeth clenched.
A man who had pulled out the rose from his chest, smashed it on the floor, and began stomping on it with his boots. The white wedding aisle was quickly stained with flower water flowing from the crushed flowers.
Bora, wide-eyed, watched the groom leaving the venue step by step.
Her father, who was just beside her a moment ago, had disappeared. Looking around, she saw her father hanging onto the arm of the groom’s father, heading towards the master of ceremonies’ seat.
“Father-in-law, hold on for a moment…”
Trying to hold onto the chairman’s arm somehow, the father-in-law rudely brushed it off.
“Who’s the father-in-law?”
With a flushed face, the father-in-law spoke into the master of ceremonies’ microphone.
“Sorry, but today’s wedding is canceled. We’ll refund the congratulatory money, so please come and get it, and those who came can have a meal and leave.”
Then, urgent cries were heard from the opposite side.
“Mom!”
“Mom!”
Bora’s sister and brother rushed to support their mother, who had lost consciousness.
Some guests, instead of helping, were busy capturing the chaos with their phone cameras. Trying to stop them led to another uproar.
“There! Don’t take pictures!”
“Snatch their phones!”
Amidst the chaos, Bora, standing there as if watching someone else’s business, gradually began to think about who might have caused this.
Of course, it must be Kang Si-hyun.
‘You pretended to be so sophisticated, and in the end, you ended up here too.’
In the meantime, a strange satisfaction was felt.
Bora looked around and found Si-hyun. When their eyes met from the back of the guest seats, Bora raised the corner of her mouth.
‘How does it feel to be stuck in the mud with me, whom you despised so much?’
However, Si-hyun had a completely different expression than Bora had expected. The difficulty in her expression was not a smile of victory but rather a look of surprise, as if she hadn’t anticipated any of this.
Why is she making that expression?
Bora felt anxious. Even when her semi-nude figure appeared on the large screen a while ago, she didn’t feel this emotion.
This is not right.
Bora, holding the hem of her dress from behind, sharply said to the wedding assistant.
“Bring my handbag.”
“What?”
“I said bring me my handbag!”
The wedding assistant, not knowing what to do, brought Bora’s handbag and handed it to her. Bora took out the envelope Si-hyun gave her earlier.
Inside the envelope was a short letter.
[Dash] Since you’re getting married, live happily.I’ll get rid of what I have, so don’t worry.
Congratulations on your marriage, Lee Bora.
Bora’s hand holding the letter trembled slightly.
In the end, Kang Si-hyun didn’t do anything to herself.
From start to finish, she was the only one stuck in the mud.
Realizing that she had strangled her own neck with her own hands, there was a sense of amusement that she couldn’t bear.
As if she were an unlucky woman, pretending to be so sophisticated until the end…
Amidst the chaos, Bora burst into laughter as if she had lost her mind.
“Ahahaha…!”
Sitting down in the middle of the wedding aisle and laughing loudly as if she had lost her mind, the guests stared at the bride with astonished eyes.
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.
