“Phew… Phew… Persistent guy…”
I had walked almost as if running, and I felt like I was going to die from lack of breath.
I touched the exterior wall of a visible building with my hand and caught my breath.
When I looked back, there was no one there.
Fortunately, I had successfully shaken off Banhamin.
To be precise, it was Sung Jichan who had caught the tail of Banhamin trying to follow me.
“Chunja, right? Are you crazy?”
I muttered to myself in disbelief, feeling like a madman.
I had seen people sometimes calling the female lead by strange names in Insou, but I never expected that I would become the target.
Sometimes they used bizarre nicknames like glasses, alien, and so on, but to be honest, neither side was any better.
From Pretty Boy to Oppa, Focus, and now Chunja.
I had already heard too many hurtful words today, and I was already exhausted, even though it wasn’t even 2 p.m. yet… Maybe I should have gone out in the morning after all? Was it a punishment from God for being a lazy person? At this point, I couldn’t help but reflect on my life.
“Alright. Let’s go home quickly.”
The only safe place was home, after all.
If I stayed outside, I might witness something unpleasant again. I needed to get back home quickly.
At that moment, a dialogue box suddenly appeared in front of me.
[No!]“Why again!”
I couldn’t help but exclaim, and the system firmly spoke.
[I told you I would make a happy ending!]
So, in summary, the system’s message was like this:
To intervene in the original story, I had to get closer to the original characters.
Moreover, just now was a very natural opportunity to approach the male lead.
But why was I running away?
[Let’s go back quickly! It’s not too late! 〉ㅁ〈]The system displayed the text while whining. It was just text, but why did it feel like a painful sound to my ears…? I had never heard its voice, but it seemed like a really noisy guy.
But even when I didn’t respond, the system persisted.
[SYSTEM] [QUEST] [〈Appearance of the Three Boys!〉]
Sung Jichan’s number (0/1)
Banhamin’s number (0/1)
Sunwoo Jin’s number (0/1)] [Reward: ‘Turn Off the System’ 1-Day Pass] [Will you accept? Y / N]
“Ah, no. No. No.”
I waved my hand wildly and closed the quest window.
“I’d rather die than get involved with them.”
I should have just pretended not to know anything.
After witnessing Banhamin’s vulgar language habits, I couldn’t bring myself to press ‘Y.’
Besides, exchanging phone numbers?
Even if they gave me their numbers, it would still be a problem.
Wasn’t that just planting a flag to make me the female lead?
The female lead.
Me, as the Insou female lead!
The reward was tempting, but I wasn’t ready to give up my comfortable daily life for it.
“Yeah, I can’t do this.”
I nodded firmly.
When I firmly pressed ‘N,’ the system persistently displayed the quest window in front of me.
But in the end, I was the one who won.
As a result, a chat window appeared in front of me.
[I’m going to make you the female lead if you keep being uncooperative!]How could it say something so extreme?
I was shocked.
However, whether the system made me the female lead or I approached the male lead and became the female lead myself… it seemed to be the same.
“No, it’s worse for me to approach him.”
Then I would become the female lead by my own will…
[I hate you, Jueun! ㅠ^ㅠ]
Whether it said that or not.
I decided to ignore the system and go home quickly.
If I stayed out here like this, I might really look like a crazy person.
But when I looked around, the neighborhood seemed somewhat unfamiliar.
“It’s strange. When did I come all the way here?”
It seemed that after running away in a hurry from Banhamin, I had walked all the way here.
I knew I had to take the bus to get home from here… It seemed like I really wanted to avoid something badly.
“Since I have plenty of time, I might as well walk.”
I have translated the Korean paragraph verbatim into English as per your request:
“Could something happen during that time?”
No matter how you look at it, God wouldn’t be that cruel to me.
How long had I been walking like this?
Suddenly, something came into my field of vision.
“Huh? What’s that?”
People were standing in a long line across the street from the traffic light.
As I walked along the line, I saw the most famous local cafe at the very front.
1st Anniversary Event! Slice of cake, from 3 p.m., first-come-first-served, one plus one!
This cafe was known for its desserts more than coffee or drinks. They employed a high-end strategy, so the prices were on the higher side compared to regular cafes, but they paid a lot of attention not only to taste and service but also to aesthetics.
The primary customers were women in their twenties, and I had heard kids talking about this cafe at school a few times.
What’s the big deal?
I quietly stood at the end of the line.
“I should just buy two.”
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.
