‘Ugh. Heavy.’
As Ha Joon tried to get up in the morning sunlight, he felt something pressing down on his body.
Barely raising his head to visually confirm the cause of the weight, a thick wrinkle formed on Ha Joon’s forehead.
This was because he saw the arms and legs of two people entangled on his body, peeking through his slightly opened eyelids.
“When did these two again……”
Ha Joon quickly scanned his memory of yesterday.
The moment he was about to leave the house after confessing his past mistakes to Hyun Seong and Hye Sun, he was stopped by Ji Hoon and Si Woo, who had been hiding on the second floor, eavesdropping since who knows when.
And then, unable to refuse Hye Sun’s words to sleep at home since Si Woo was there after a long time, had led to this current predicament.
He distinctly remembered sleeping in their respective rooms yesterday, but he had no memory of when they had crawled onto his bed.
Sigh. Anyway, how do I get rid of these two?
“Hey! Stop moving!”
Ha Joon moved roughly, trying to free his arms and legs that were tied up by Ji Hoon and Si Woo.
“Mmm…… Let’s sleep a little more.”
Despite hearing Ha Joon’s sharp voice, the two started to nestle in deeper, not even bothering to open their eyes, let alone getting up.
Should I just push them off the bed?
While he was seriously contemplating kicking them off with his foot, given the deep furrow in his brow, Hye Sun’s voice came from the first floor.
“Ha Joon, Si Woo, Ji Hoon. Come down and eat breakfast.”
“Yes. We’re coming down now.”
“You were awake?”
As Ji Hoon and Si Woo jumped up from their spots at Hye Sun’s voice, Ha Joon’s gaze shone fiercely as he looked at them.
“No. How could we wake you up when you look so cute sleeping, Min Ha Joon.”
“That’s right. Our big brother looks like an angel when he’s asleep, doesn’t he?”
As if they had decided to tease Ha Joon at this opportunity.
They had their arms around each other’s shoulders, both with their lips curled up in a smirk. They seemed to have made up their minds.
“Stop joking around. It’s not funny at all.”
Ha Joon’s voice was heated and forceful, but no one paid any attention to it.
Rather, they seemed even more excited. Was it just his imagination?
Watching the two of them humming a tune and exiting the room, Ha Joon finally let out a faint smile.
A moment later.
Hyun Seong and Hye Sun, Ha Joon, Si Woo, Ji Hoon.
The five of them sat facing each other at the table just like two days ago, but the atmosphere was quite different.
It was because everyone had come to know that Ha Joon had decided to open his heart to his parents.
“Ha Joon, try some more of this.”
Hye Sun pushed one of Ha Joon’s favorite side dishes towards him.
Normally, he would have been too shy to even put it in his mouth, but perhaps because of his firm resolution yesterday, Ha Joon hesitated and then reached out to put the side dish in front of him into his mouth.
The family watched him silently, and a satisfied smile spread across their faces.
“Our Ha Joon, eat a lot.”
“Ha Joon, try this too.”
Ji Hoon and Si Woo picked up a side dish each and placed it on Ha Joon’s rice, chuckling to themselves.
It’s starting again.
Ha Joon’s eyes were filled with barely concealed anger, but he managed to suppress it, mindful of Hyun Seong and Hye Sun.
And so, just like any other family, they continued their meal in a harmonious atmosphere. That’s when Si Woo, who had been waiting for an opportunity, opened his mouth.
“Alright! Alright! You all remember that the issue of my employment was left unresolved last time because of Ha Joon, right?”
“Yes. What do you want to do at the company?”
In response to Hyun Seong’s question, Si Woo answered as if he had been waiting.
“I want to join the marketing team. I studied that field in the United States, and since Ji Hoon is also in the marketing department, I think it would be nice to work together.”
The marketing team, where Su Ah was.
Why the marketing team out of all the many departments? Ha Joon felt a strange sense of unease.
“Oh, by the way! I have a favor to ask everyone.”
“A favor?”
“Please keep it a secret that I’m the chairman’s son and Ha Joon’s younger brother. I just want to work quietly as a regular employee. I don’t like feeling burdened.”
As soon as Si Woo finished speaking, Hyun Seong’s gaze turned towards Ha Joon.
Having noticed Hyun Seong’s gaze, Ha Joon gave a slight nod.
“I’ll arrange for your transfer to the marketing team within the day.”
“Alright. You’ll start work next week, and Si Woo, although it’s a secret, make sure you work hard without causing trouble for Ha Joon and Ji Hoon.”
“Yes. Don’t worry about that.”
Si Woo shrugged his shoulders as if to say it was a given, in response to Hyun Seong’s advice.
As time passed, Ha Joon and Ji Hoon, having finished breakfast, started preparing for work.
There were still items in Hyun Seong’s house that Ha Joon had used, so there was no difficulty in getting ready for work.
As they were about to finish getting ready, Ji Hoon came into Ha Joon’s room and whispered in his ear.
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.
