Younger Man at Work (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 162
“Has Kwon Seung Hyun ever treated you as his older brother, even once?”
“Why are you suddenly asking that?”
When Seung Joo asked in return, Hye Sun quietly answered.
“I just don’t want to be too harsh on him.”
The taciturn man carefully chose his words. How could he possibly explain his relationship with his half-brother over all these years?
Seung Hyun always called him “older brother, older brother” cheerfully with that lovely face resembling their mother—but in truth, he had always been cruel.
[Dad, I really want to go fishing with you after so long.]
[Really? Then how about just the two of us going on a one-night, two-day fishing trip this weekend?]
He would always stare pointedly at Seung Joo, subtly showing off how he monopolized their father’s affection. His sidelong glances were uncannily identical to those of his stepmother.
On the day before the college entrance exam, when his stepmother dramatically faked a miscarriage after “falling down the stairs,” Seung Hyun had been right there in the living room. Although he clearly witnessed everything, he didn’t say a single word in Seung Joo’s defense while their father raged with a golf club in hand.
But above all, what was truly unforgivable was how he had exploited Seung Joo’s amnesia to blackmail Eun Seo. Just imagining how much Eun Seo must have cried behind his back, without him even knowing, made his heart ache.
After a long silence, these were the words that finally slipped from Seung Joo’s lips.
“…It felt as if I had two stepmothers.”
A single, calm statement.
There was no way Hye Sun could miss the deep pain hidden within those words.
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.
