“으아아악!”
The man was sent flying from Banhamin’s kick.
‘What is this? Am I dreaming?’
Denying reality, Banhamin shot an imaginary gun at me, winking.
“…….”
People around were murmuring, and all eyes were fixed on us. Banhamin turned back to the man with a solemn expression and declared,
“I won’t let anyone mess with Jooeuni!”
Please, just calm down.
Even Seonwoojin, who usually remained unresponsive to most incidents, looked puzzled. Overhearing people’s conversations made me cringe.
“What did he just say?”
“Jooeuni?”
“Is he talking about that girl?”
People glanced in my direction. I wanted to disappear.
“You, what’s going on!”
The man, who belatedly regained his senses, got up from the floor.
“Why did this crazy guy suddenly kick someone!”
“You harassed Jooeuni first!”
“I didn’t harass her!”
“Liar!”
Banhamin pointed towards Seonwoojin and me.
“She wasn’t harassed, so why is Jooeuni with Junni, clinging to him with fists raised? Jooeuni lies every time there’s danger!”
“…….”
In a way, it was an insightful remark.
‘This guy strangely catches on quickly…’
I released Seonwoojin’s arm that I was holding.
Banhamin proudly shouted,
“I am Jooeuni’s guardian angel!”
Come to think of it, Banhamin appeared when I was in trouble from time to time.
I’m scared because the day might come when this crazy guy is officially recognized as my guardian angel.
“A guardian angel? What a load of crap! Are you an elementary schooler?”
“No! Hamini is a high school student!”
“Did I ask because I didn’t know? Enough! Apologize quickly!”
“Screw you! Nyeh!”
Banhamin and the man continued their argument.
And I…
‘Wow… a pigeon…’
I gave up on thinking.
The pigeon walked across the ground. Why doesn’t it fly around?
‘I just want to disappear from this place right now.’
I looked at the scene in front of me with a helpless gaze. If I leave them alone, won’t Banhamin just fight and then go home? I hope he does.
‘I better call someone else.’
I took out my phone from my pocket and checked the battery.
While the phone was off, several messages had arrived.
[Where are you, Jueun?]“Hey, why is your phone off?”
“Call me when you see this!”
[Look at this and call!] [I’ll take Hee and go first… see you later]In order, they were from Seol Yubin, Yuhina, Yuhina again, Sung Jichan, and again from Seol Yubin.
‘Is Yubin back home?’
Looking at the clock, it was 4 PM. We played for a long time in the morning, but… don’t people usually play more before going home? She seemed a bit weak, but did it get tough after all?
‘And Yuhina… why call me?’
She didn’t answer earlier. Is everything sorted out now?
I immediately called Yuhina.
“Hello?”
Lee Jueun!
As soon as she answered, Yuhina shouted loudly. Ouch, my ears hurt. I frowned and said,
“Why, what’s going on?”
Something big happened! Banhamin disappeared!
Now she realized it…?
“Why is that a big deal?”
If we leave him alone, he’ll cause another weird incident!
Indeed, Yuhina, being Banhamin’s long-time friend, had insight.
“It’s already too late.”
What?
“Banhamin caused trouble.”
In front of me, Banhamin and the man were still having a childish argument.
When he fought with Seonwoojin earlier, the atmosphere was hostile, but now it looked petty and pathetic.
Banhamin sure has the ability to bring anyone down to his level, no matter who the opponent is.
I sighed and said, “We’re near the Mia Protection Center, so come this way for now. Let’s talk when we meet.”
Why did you go to the Mia Protection Center again?
“Banhamin was there.”
…….
Yuhina couldn’t find words, seemingly perplexed. I ended the call with Yuhina like that.
“Seonwoojin.”
“What.”
“Shouldn’t you start cooling down your friend a bit now?”
Seonwoojin, expressionless, replied, “I’ve never kept such a guy as a friend.”
I was truly submerged.
“Then what is he if not a friend?”
“Well? Your guardian angel?”
“…….,”
I jabbed Seonwoojin’s foot.
“Ah! Lee Jueun, have you finally gone crazy?”
I went crazy a long time ago. Otherwise, why would I have come to the amusement park with you guys in the first place?
‘There’s no choice.’
I discreetly stepped back.
“What are you doing?”
“Just pretending not to know someone.”
I naturally distanced myself, ignoring Seonwoojin’s pitiful gaze.
Not long after, Yuhina and Sung Jichan arrived.
“Jueun! What on earth is happening!”
I explained the situation to Yuhina, and after hearing the explanation, Yuhina muttered with a determined face.
“It won’t work. I have to go!”
Then she went straight to Banhamin and the man.
“Excuse me!”
Yuhina shouted ambitiously.
“Please calm down for a moment! Everyone is watching! Banhamin, stop it too!”
Then the man scanned Yuhina from top to bottom and spoke nervously.
“What is this little brat doing here! Stop meddling in other people’s business and get lost!”
Those words precisely hit Yuhina’s Achilles’ heel.
“What did you say? Little brat? Hey! Are you crazy?”
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.
