“Can I leak this to Dispatch?”
“……. ”
“Seo Kang is dating.”
The man laughed in a mockingly sarcastic tone.
The smell of alcohol wafted from his snickering.
As expected, he had approached after noticing something.
When a malicious guy is also drunk, there’s no solution.
Kang tried her utmost to remain calm, not wanting to unnecessarily provoke him.
Seeing her non-response, the man spoke as if to threaten.
“Seeing you with Jane, I thought you might be a celebrity, but what a surprise this is.”
“……. ”
“Seo Kang, of all people.”
But at that moment,
A long shadow cast over the man.
Soon, a familiar voice was heard.
“Hey, punk.”
The man slowly lifted his gaze to the person above.
Jane, holding ramen from Han River, seemed ready to pour it over his head at any moment.
“What’s up, punk? What’s this idiot doing?”
“……What? Idiot?”
“I’ve got cushioning in my shoes, so it’s JONNA hard to balance. I might fall in 3 seconds.”
“……What are you saying?”
“If you don’t want the ramen poured on you, leave. I’m kindly warning you, you damned fool.”
Caught off guard by her sharp words, the man jumped up.
And immediately closed the distance, ready to hit Jane.
“Wow. Jane has a terrible personality.”
“You have a plain face.”
Stunned by her unexpected witty retort, his eyes went wide.
His face reddening, he then warned in a low voice.
“……Hey, you want to quit the entertainment industry?”
“Do you want to quit having thick hair?”
“You crazy? Don’t you know YouTubers lose popularity in an instant?”
“Don’t you know hair loss happens in an instant?”
“Becoming a criminal, it’s instantaneous.”
“Becoming bald is also instantaneous.”
The woman’s fierce attitude quickly deflated the man’s bluster.
Whispers started.
Slowly, people began to gather around.
“Damn it. I’m sparing you because you’re a woman.”
Aware of people around taking out their phones, he withdrew.
Jane waved at the bystanders with a reassuring smile.
“We’re fine. Thank you, guys.”
Several people approached her, holding out their phones, seemingly wanting to take pictures.
However, Jane, shielding Kang with her body, tactfully declined.
“I met my friend after a long time, I’ll take pictures later. Sorry.”
The most disappointed were a group of high school girls. They shouted compliments and went their separate ways.
Jane quickly checked Kang’s face.
“Kang, are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m fine. Thanks to Jane.”
“Such guys need a slap.”
Jane said with an apologetic look.
“Sorry you got dragged into this because of me.”
“It’s not your fault, Jane.”
“Thanks for saying that.”
Her expressive face showed a range of emotions.
“After all, it’s hard for us to even have a quiet drink at Han River, right?”
……Wouldn’t it have been okay if you had just dressed more simply?
Kang wanted to say this but just smiled.
Jane’s chick-themed nails were too adorable.
“Your chick nails are so cute.”
“Oh, this?”
She spread out her nails for Kang to see.
“It’s a duck.”
“……Oh, it’s a duck?”
“Yes. I made it with acrylic. Pretty, right?”
“Really?”
“Yes. I studied art, so I’m crafty. If Honey likes it, I’ll do it for you later.”
Jane cheerfully waved her hand.
The rhinestones on her nails sparkled in the light.
“Kang, should we change our location?”
“Why?”
“There are many people here, and if someone recognizes Kang, it’ll be tiring. Home might be better.”
“It’s okay.”
“You sure?”
“Yes. If any bad guy shows up, you’ll handle him, right Jane?”
At that, Jane showed her white teeth and laughed.
“Right. If anyone messes with you, I’ll handle them.”
“So, let’s just chat here. It’s been a while, and it’s nice to just sit and stare at the water.”
“Okay. If Kang’s okay, let’s continue.”
“It’s ‘stare at the water,’ not ‘continue.'”
“Spot on. Zoned out.”
Though I worried she’d keep insisting on going home, fortunately, it seemed she was considerate of me and didn’t press the issue.
In this manner, the two of them sat side by side, sipping beer and water.
Jane, who was upset about being dumped by her boyfriend, simply described their breakup.
“You know, I brought up marriage and got dumped?”
“Marriage?”
“Yes. I had thought about us getting married, but it seems he wasn’t on the same page.”
“How long have you two been together?”
“A month.”
“Oh…….”
“It’s not about time. It’s about feelings.”
True. Feelings are important, but a month is a bit short.
As I was pondering a reply, after a sip of her beer, Jane spoke.
“You know what’s funny?”
“What?”
“He said he still wants to date me.”
“He’s against marriage then?”
Upon hearing that, she burst out laughing.
Startled, Kang looked at her. Taking a deep breath, Jane continued,
“He’s not against marriage.”
“Then?”
“He wants to get married, but apparently, not to me.”
“He… said that directly to you?”
“He’s a real jerk, right?”
“Maybe… considering it’s only been a month, he might’ve thought it was premature to discuss marriage?”
“He was really clear. To him, I was just a fling, maybe three months at most.”
Kang was so shocked she couldn’t find words.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
