“Why? Do you think I wouldn’t know that you had Director Chun prepare a car by having him prepare it back then?”
Kyung Sook’s face turned to Madame Jung, and anger rose in her eyes.
“Shut that mouth of yours.”
“…….”
“Try opening your mouth once more. There won’t be any negotiations or anything this time.”
Madame Jung left the hospital that way.
[A moment later, boarding for the flight to New York will begin.]Thanks to booking a first-class ticket, Arin waited in the lounge and was the first to board the plane after receiving guidance from the flight attendant.
“Wow.”
Even before getting on the plane, Arin’s mouth widened even more. With her eyes squinting, she looked around like a meerkat.
‘So, this is what they call first class.’
She could stretch her legs comfortably.
Like a bed.
‘The seats can be this wide. I’ve taken flights between Jeju and Seoul, but it’s on a different level.’
Although Arin tried to hide her emotions, the corners of her mouth that couldn’t be concealed kept twitching.
‘Cute.’
She was adorable, wandering around like a meerkat, whispering ‘Wow’ softly.
A continuous smile appeared on Jae Hyuk’s face as he looked at Arin.
“They even provide pajamas. Did you hear? They give you pajamas on the plane. There’s even a hanger here.”
Arin repeated what the stewardess had said a few times. He smiled wordlessly at her.
In her innocent appearance, like a child going on her first outing, Jae Hyuk felt a strange itch in the corner of his heart.
‘We haven’t even been on a honeymoon.’
During the three years of marriage with Arin, they had never traveled.
They postponed the honeymoon, using busyness as an excuse, and the wedding was carried out quietly with only immediate family members as part of a private ceremony.
“There’s even a blanket. It’s really different.”
“There’s a turn-down service. The flight attendants will come later to spread the blanket for you.”
“Wow, really? It’s like a hotel. Seriously.”
Jae Hyuk felt a mixture of emotions.
These were things I took for granted, so I had never attributed special meaning to them and had never seriously thought about what I was enjoying.
The things I was enjoying now should have been enjoyed by Arin too.
‘How did I treat Arin?’
It would have been less sorry if I didn’t have the ability to do it.
Jae Hyuk, who could have done it but didn’t, was overwhelmed with regret and guilt for the past.
His heart swelled up. Holding back tears, he held her hand without saying a word.
“Why?”
Arin opened her eyes wide, asking what was going on with her expression.
“I just wanted to hold your hand.”
‘I’ll do more. I’ll do everything I didn’t do before.’
He swallowed the words he couldn’t convey. Holding back tears, he said.
“It’s bland.”
Her sarcasm was good too.
Because she was by his side.
Jae Hyuk’s business trip to New York was two weeks long, and on weekdays, as announced, he was busy without a break.
The only fortunate thing was having Director Han by his side.
Although it seemed unnecessary to have Director Han, who was the closest aide, with him, Jae Hyuk said,
[There’s no one more suitable than Director Han to accompany me around New York.]According to Jae Hyuk, Director Han was born and raised in New York.
Only now did Arin seem to understand why he assigned Director Han to her.
“The meal is quite late.”
In the morning, they visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Despite being one of the world’s top five museums, it took a while to look around, even though they entered as soon as it opened.
It was well past lunchtime.
Skipping breakfast, Arin felt like she could chew on anything, even a pebble sticking to her back.
The place they entered had menu descriptions with photos, making it easy to choose.
“I’ll have this burger with beef and cheese-covered potatoes, and an orange juice. What about Director Han?”
“I’ll go with this set. I’ll order and be right back.”
“Yes.”
Director Han got up and headed to the cashier.
‘It seemed like it would be uncomfortable and awkward, but it’s not as bad as I thought.’
Director Han was the person who knew the most about him and Jae Hyuk.
When he visited Jeju Island in the past, he had many harsh words.
So Director Han was uncomfortable.
In her heart, she wanted to say that she could go alone, but she wasn’t proficient in English, and relying on just a guidebook for sightseeing…
‘My problem is that I’m too bad with directions.’
Arin thought as she looked at the broad back of Director Han.
Could they walk together?
Could they talk?
Contrary to her worries, as time passed, it became increasingly strange and not uncomfortable to be with Director Han.
Director Han’s growing ease was due to the change in her feelings toward Jae Hyuk.
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.
