When she flung the door open and entered, she saw the doll with her face sleeping soundly on the pure white bed.
Without any hesitation, Su Yeon shook her body.
“Wake up, Mr. In Ho, okay?”
Despite shaking him awake in urgency, it was a feeling that really couldn’t be explained in words.
Seeing her own face on another person.
It felt like an outofbody experience.
She even thought of the absurd idea of dying the moment her body, which she was shaking awake, opened its eyes and met her gaze.
However, even that couldn’t be the most important issue right now.
Su Yeon shook her body with a little more strength.
Only then did In Ho, who had her face, start to furrow his brows and his eyelids started to flutter.
“Ha, what is it…”
“Mr. In Ho, wake up quickly, okay?”
“Ha, on the day of my early morning shoot, I told you not to wake me… what, what is it! What is this!”
Struggling to open his eyes, the face with her features, no, In Ho who had her face, was startled and sat up straight.
“What, what is it! Why is my face there??”
“I don’t know. I woke up and it was like this. But that’s not the problem right now.”
“If my face is there, what’s the problem, tell me, now!”
It seemed that In Ho was just as embarrassed by the situation as she was, uncharacteristically raising his voice.
That made Su Yeon’s nerves stand on end again, but she forcibly took a deep breath and moved her lips urgently.
“Mr. Myung Woo is coming to the house now!”
“What?”
“Mr. Myung Woo! Your manager!”
“Why would Myung Woo…! Oh, what time is it now?”
In Ho, who belatedly understood the situation, checked the time.
Then, he suddenly furrowed his brows.
“Ah, it’s late. So, of course Myung Woo said he’s coming!”
“That’s not the problem right now! What should we do? No, what should I do? When Mr. Myung Woo comes and sees me with your face, he’ll obviously take me to the filming location, how am I supposed to go there!”
Su Yeon spilled out her words, her face tearstreaked.
She dared to assert that she had never shown such a lack of calmness in her life until this day, this moment.
Su Yeon was in complete darkness.
It was shocking enough to suddenly have In Ho’s face, but what was she supposed to do, going to the filming location instead of In Ho.
Su Yeon desperately hoped that In Ho would provide a solution.
But it seemed to be too much to hope for.
“Ah, I’m really going crazy!”
In Ho tightly gripped his long hair as if to pull it out.
This made Su Yeon feel even more desperate.
“What should I do? How can I act in your place. Can I say I’m sick? Right, that’s it! I should say that I need to take a break from filming today…!”
“Say you’re sick all of a sudden? Judging by you saying that Myung Woo is coming to the house, it seems you’ve already answered Myung Woo’s call. You were fine when you were on the call, how can you suddenly say you’re sick?”
“I didn’t answer the call normally. I hardly responded… And my voice must have been groggy from sleep so it would be easy to pass it off as being sick from sleep!”
Su Yeon stamped her feet like a child throwing a tantrum.
It was a behavior she had never shown even when she was a child.
She took several deep breaths in an attempt to calm her confused mind, but she was utterly unable to view the situation she was facing rationally.
Was that all?
No matter how hard she racked her brain, she couldn’t think of a solution to avoid the situation.
She felt as if the phrase “jumping madly” was created for a situation like this.
In frustration, she stamped her feet and rolled around a couple of times, and In Ho bellowed in a high pitched voice.
“Can’t you stay still? Don’t do that kind of thing with my face!”
“Is this the time to worry about such things?”
“Ha, just stay still for a while! My head is about to explode anyway!”
In Ho furrowed his brows and roughly ran his hand through his messy hair.
Su Yeon looked at In Ho more desperately than ever.
But it seemed that In Ho also didn’t have any answers.
“I’m going crazy!”
He struck his tightly clenched fist irritably on the bed.
Su Yeon closed her eyes tightly as she felt her chest tightening more and more.
She felt as if her head was spinning.
To make matters worse, the doorbell started ringing in the quiet house.
Su Yeon looked at In Ho with a despairing face.
Then, In Ho got up from his seat with a rather serious look on his face.
“Let’s go out.”
“What are we going to do?”
“The doorbell is ringing at this hour. Do you plan on ignoring it? They’ll think we’re sleeping and they will continue to ring the doorbell and call us until there’s a fire.”
Although there was no clear solution, In Ho wasn’t wrong.
Su Yeon followed In Ho, who led the way, with small steps.
In Ho crossed the living room and headed straight to the entrance.
Su Yeon stood in the middle of the living room and watched In Ho’s retreating figure from afar.
Soon, the front door opened.
And Myung Woo’s figure appeared through the gap.
Myung Woo, who didn’t care who opened the door, furrowed his brows and leaned his body in to look.
“Bro, why are you sleeping in so late……! Huh. Si, Sisterinlaw?”
Myung Woo, who was starting to nag, stuttered with a very flustered look on his face.
Then he covered his face with a hand that was full of urgency.
Only then, In Ho, who had sensed something wrong, slowly lowered his head.
It was the place where Myung Woo’s gaze had just been.
Damn it.
Curses filled his mouth.
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.
