Inside, Ji Ho barely held back the soft feelings welling up. He had known since about three seconds into it that Hye Yoon was tenderly pressing her delicate lips against his, while recalling the memory of that day. He merely accepted it quietly, though his heart didn’t agree.
“Four, five.”
Counting to five as she wanted, she pulled her lips away. As she opened her eyes slowly, she could see herself reflected clearly in his dark eyes. She felt dazed due to the sensation remaining on her lips and his deep gaze.
“…Are you taking revenge?”
With a low voice resembling the night, Ji Ho captured Hye Yoon in his eyes, which held a hint of a light jest. At that, she slowly let go of his face with her small hands and nodded her head. Her face, flushed with red, had a lovely mix of shyness and pride.
‘Yes, I should have avoided this face by all means…’
At the moment when the tips of their noses were about to drift apart, Ji Ho finally wrapped his hand around her neck. His lips overlapped hers as if gulping hurriedly, and his intense desire cut through her lips. His earnest warmth touched her tender insides, causing Hye Yoon to shudder.
As much as Hye Yoon had counted to five, Ji Ho also indulged in his desire only that much. Even though he held himself back before they got any deeper, he couldn’t help but suck in her falling lips.
“Haah…”
As her lips parted, Hye Yoon expelled the tremble she couldn’t hide. The rapid rise of her breath made her chest flutter, clearly visible to Ji Ho’s eyes.
Anywhere, it seemed he shouldn’t fix his gaze on her for too long now.
“You shouldn’t touch a drunk woman… This is as far as it goes.”
As if talking to himself, Ji Ho’s words, which seemed like a resolution, also reached Hye Yoon.
The limit seemed to be here for her bravery, which had somehow mustered courage. Hye Yoon left a tiny nod and turned around to exit the stairs. Her retreating figure was full of embarrassment.
When he saw her hand about to press the passcode, Ji Ho turned his eyes away. At the sound of the door opening, he finally approached Hye Yoon.
“…Thank you for taking me home.”
Hesitantly stepping inside the entrance, Hye Yoon looked back at him. Whether she had used all her courage and had none left, it was cute how she would immediately avoid his gaze once their eyes met.
“Thank you for telling me everything that made you upset. Sleep well.”
It was really time to say goodbye. Ji Ho etched her face, blushing like a petal, into his mind and gestured that it was okay to close the door. However, with her small lips just faintly harassing the night air, she did not close the door.
There seemed to be a hint of the anxiety from a few days ago in her gaze. This time, he wondered what was making her anxious. He felt as if he was the one who had done something wrong, yet it seemed like Hye Yoon was the one being considerate.
“Heh heh. Go in quickly. A person who needs to be seen well… stop making it hard for yourself.”
At Ji Ho’s tease, she faintly smiled. It was a face that now seemed to be at ease. She must have been worried about whether it was okay to just let him go.
Creak
And they both stood there for a few minutes in front of the closed door.
Both of them.
“Hye Yoon, you’re really fascinating.”
“Hm? What is?”
Early in the morning. Hye Yoon, full of tiredness, barely opened her heavy eyes and looked at Min Joo. It seemed that Min Joo was stealing glances at her face whenever she could while driving.
“It’s your face. You look tired but you’re brimming with vitality? What’s that about?”
“Ah, I didn’t sleep well.”
“That’s it. You seem like you didn’t sleep well but how can you look so happy?”
Min Joo gave her a glance with curious eyes. Normally, she would have tried to keep her eyes wide open even if she was sleepy, but she was too flooded with sleep. It couldn’t be helped. She couldn’t calm her mind and barely slept for three hours.
“Um… because I get to see Min Joo’s face after two days?”
Hye Yoon, who closed her eyes again, showed a light smile on the corners of her mouth. Along with an appropriate answer.
“Oh… I can’t relate at all?”
“Heh heh. No, it’s true.”
Whether her closed eyes were filled with happiness, her eyes curled up prettily.
“What did you do yesterday?”
And without a moment to fully enjoy the happiness, Min Joo’s questioning began.
“Just… script editing…”
It seemed she could only say up to there. From then on, just the thought of talking made her heart pound. Stories from last night that couldn’t get out were hopping around in her mouth, making heat rise to her cheeks.
“Does script editing make you so excited? Why is your face turning red?”
“Hey, it’s not turning red.”
Even though sneaking glances while focusing on driving should have been all Min Joo could do, she accurately read Hye Yoon’s emotions.
“But why did you edit the script? Is the ending changing?”
“No. … Jeon Ji Na decided to make a special appearance. So, I was creating more lines.”
And now, her heart was filled with round and soft toys, she could mention that pretty name with a pretty heart.
“Wow, that’s crazy. So, are the exlovers acting together?”
“No! It’s not like that!”
Of course, it wasn’t always possible to do so.
“Ah, what a surprise.”
“Sorry… but really… it’s not like that. They were not that kind of relationship.”
“Who says?”
The car stopped just in time for a signal. Given the opportunity, Min Joo also stretched her gaze to the next seat. Her face, which she looked at carefully while waiting for an answer, was really beautiful today.
“… I heard it from Ji Ho. He said it wasn’t.”
“Wow, amazing! You asked the person concerned?”
“Yes. So, let’s not misunderstand. Ji Ho will be upset.”
Hye Yoon, who seemed especially radiant today, seemed to have pretty thoughts to match. So, Min Joo decided not to make any more connections. It’s obvious that it’s not good to be misunderstood. As she put her foot back on the accelerator, the car started moving.
“Then, while you asked, didn’t you ask that?”
“What?”
“If he likes Woo Jun.”
“….”
“No, it’s better not to ask. What if he really does? If he asks me to introduce him… Ah, that’s a problem too. Heh heh.”
The answer was abruptly cut off. Min Joo glanced to the side, thinking Hye Yoon had fallen asleep as she was tired. But instead of falling asleep, she looked like she had shaken off all drowsiness.
“I’m going to… kill Kim Woo Jun soon.”
It seemed she wasn’t only thinking pretty thoughts.

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.
