With Seong Ji-chan’s help, I laid Seol Yu-bin on the health room bed.
Seong Ji-chan muttered, “I think this is the first time I’ve seen this place used as a health room.”
Yeah, me too…
I nodded in agreement and looked down at Seol Yu-bin, who seemed in a bad shape.
‘What should I do?’
If she was just sleeping, I would have left her alone, but Seol Yu-bin’s condition seemed like she needed to be taken to a hospital immediately.
Seong Ji-chan stared at Seol Yu-bin with an indecipherable expression.
Seeing this, I wondered, ‘Does he have feelings for her?’
After a moment of contemplation, I concluded that it couldn’t be. Falling for the real Seol Yu-bin would disqualify him as a male lead. After all, the male lead is supposed to react only to the female lead…
Seon Woo-jin, who had been lying on a bed inside, joined the conversation after realizing the commotion.
“But can we really call this a health room?”
I was at a loss for words.
Honestly, given Lee Yeon-ho’s usual conduct, I doubted whether this health room even had proper medicine.
“…Still, it’s called a health room, so maybe it has what we need? The teacher should be managing it.”
“Teacher? Managing? You still trust that Lee Yeon-ho guy?”
No… I can’t trust him…
Both of them fell silent, evidently sharing similar thoughts.
Seol Yu-bin’s condition wasn’t something Lee Yeon-ho or amateurs like us could handle.
I quickly decided what to do.
“…Let’s take her to the real health room.”
At my suggestion, Seong Ji-chan and Seon Woo-jin both nodded.
It was decided that Seong Ji-chan and I would take Seol Yu-bin to the ‘real health room’.
Originally, it was supposed to be the loser of rock-paper-scissors between Seon Woo-jin and Seong Ji-chan, but Seong Ji-chan dragged me along, 1+1 style.
He reasoned it would be awkward if Seol Yu-bin woke up halfway while being carried alone.
I had some questions too, so I went along without protest.
As we were passing near the playground, I spoke to Seong Ji-chan.
“Hey, can I ask you something?”
“What is it?”
I glanced at Seong Ji-chan, who was carrying Seol Yu-bin.
“So… do you feel anything right now?”
“Feel? Like what?”
I was thinking along the lines of destiny, love… but to my disappointment, Seong Ji-chan just gave me a look that read, ‘what nonsense are you talking about?’
That’s not it?
“Like, any palpitations? Excitement or nervousness?”
“Are you heat-stroked?”
Seong Ji-chan regarded me as if I was half-crazy, showing his disgust.
I felt wronged.
‘Sorry, but you’ll end up liking someone who looks just like her.’
I was slightly disappointed, having hoped this interaction would twist the original story.
But I couldn’t give up here.
“I have another question, can I ask?”
“No, don’t ask.”
I ignored him and asked anyway.
“What’s your type in women?”
Suddenly, Seong Ji-chan stopped in his tracks and looked at me awkwardly.
“What, Chun-ja. Do you like me or something?”
Are you crazy?
I failed to hide my disdain at such a ludicrous suggestion.
Seeing my face sour, Seong Ji-chan let out a sigh of relief and started walking again. Wait, a sigh of relief? That’s offensive in its own way.
“Why are you asking me that all of a sudden?”
“Just curious, since a lot of couples are popping up around these days.”
Actually, with the arrival of spring, the number of couples had indeed increased exponentially. My excuse was fairly plausible.
Thankfully, Seong Ji-chan seemed convinced by my clumsy excuse and started pondering his answer.
“Hmm, my type… Well, I don’t really look at faces. I’m not going to say I only care about personality, but looks aren’t everything either… What’s with that expression?”
Oops, I must’ve unconsciously made a face again.
I hurriedly fixed my expression and smiled, thinking to myself, ‘Lies.’
After seeing Seong Ji-chan’s ex-girlfriend, I couldn’t believe his claim of ‘not looking at faces.’
Seong Ji-chan protested, “No, really!”
But my skepticism remained.
“What made you ask that all of a sudden?”
“Just been seeing a lot of couples around recently.”
Seong Ji-chan seemed to accept my explanation and started to think about his answer.
“Well, about my type… It’s not just the face. I won’t say personality is everything, but looks aren’t the most important… What’s with that look?”
Oops, I guess my disbelief was showing on my face again
“Okay, let’s say that’s true. Then, apart from the face, what’s the most important thing for you?”
Seong Ji-chan grumbled for a moment before replying.
“Personality. Our personalities have to match well.”
“What matches well with you?”
“Well, definitely not you.”
That’s a relief.
“I like someone I can communicate well with. It’s even better if our humor matches. Oh, and I don’t like someone who’s clingy or cries easily. I prefer someone who’s cool.”
As I listened to Seong Ji-chan’s ideal type, I suddenly realized.
‘Isn’t that the exact opposite of Yu-hee-na?’
Whether he knew it or not, Seong Ji-chan was listing traits that were completely opposite to Yu-hee-na’s.
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.
