“My mother at home was talking about it yesterday too.”
“Huh? Your motherinlaw knows about it too? Is she a member by any chance? Then ask her to let me join too!”
Young Suk asked Hye Mi with a suddenly bright expression.
“No, even if you want to join, the conditions are very strict. And I heard they are not accepting new members until a spot opens because it’s already full.”
“What? What kind of nonsense is that? It’s not like they’re running a business, right?”
“Still, their services must be different.”
“A merchant should serve customers, what nonsense is this about being full. If they don’t accept customers, they’ll fail. It’s all a scam.”
Young Suk grumbled, her temper flaring.
“Still, a significant number of wellknown ladies from politics and business circles must be members. I heard they often have social gatherings among members.”
“Well, I’ve heard Ji’s wife bragging about making friends with a big lady from the Samjung Group there. Seems like it’s true.”
“If you join and build connections, it seems you can get a lot of fresh, highend information.”
Young Suk’s eyes shone at those words, swallowing her saliva. The more she heard, the more tempting it felt.
“Really? But you said there’s no way in from your family’s side, right?”
“Ah… Yes.”
“You were boasting about your mother’s wide network.”
‘The more I see, the less there is to see. She’s just a showoff.’
She was hoping to benefit from her inlaws but was disappointed, on the other hand, she felt somewhat satisfied knowing that her always boastful and pretentious inlaw couldn’t get in.
“If my mother gets to join, I will ask her to mention you.”
“Ah, never mind! I’ll take care of it myself.”
However, Hye Mi hesitated for a moment, then leaned towards Young Suk and cautiously asked.
“So, mother, if you get to join, can I come with you?”
“Why do I feel like I’m being deceived? But I can’t say no, it would hurt my pride,” Young Suk nodded her head.
“Understood. Just trust me.”
“Oh, mother, thank you. I’ll trust you and wait.”
Hye Mi suddenly stood up from her chair and tightly held Young Suk’s hand as if begging earnestly.
Looking at Hye Mi, whose eyes were shining, Young Suk felt a bit overwhelmed, but she forced a smile on her face.
Today, she had a rare early leave from work, and had some spare time.
Even if she went to her apartment in Seocho, there was nothing to enjoy alone, so there was nothing to be happy about leaving work early.
It was better to be buried in work without a break.
The days were getting longer, so it was still light outside. Do Ha impulsively drove the car and let it flow as his heart desired.
It was his wife’s hometown, which he hadn’t visited in a few months. Sometimes, when he felt suffocated, he would drive around the neighborhood on his way home from work.
Even though he knew that the house was empty, it was the only place where he could find comfort, and he couldn’t help but be drawn to it from time to time.
Looking at the empty house only added to his loneliness, but he couldn’t stop visiting.
Entering the familiar alley, he felt a heavy feeling today. However, that feeling didn’t last long. The closer he got to the most familiar place, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Do Ha slightly raised his left eyebrow. The house had changed.
In the meantime, the house had been repaired. The gate had changed, and the fence had gotten higher.
The low wall where you could look down on the garden full of cute flowers had grown taller and didn’t show anything.
‘Did Hyun Seo come back?’
Do Ha parked the car in front of the house and rolled down the window.
However, from behind the high fence, the laughter of a child and a young man was soaring high into the sky.
‘Is it not Hyun Seo?’
It seemed that other people must have moved in. Did he sell the house to someone else?
The thought of Hyun Seo giving up this house was quite surprising, but there was no trace of Hyun Seo in the voices he heard now.
Inside the yard, the sound of a young man and a child laughing happily could be heard repeatedly.
“Do Hyun, do you like dad?”
“Yes, I like! I like dad!”
“Haha.”
The sound of the young man asking the child if he liked his father and laughing strangely resonated in his heart.
A child’s voice was heard in the house where traces of Hyun Seo remained.
Would such a scene have come to me if Hyun Seo had been by my side?
Envy filled his heart, and he felt inexplicably hostile towards the man he didn’t even know.
Suddenly, he wondered if he was going mad having such thoughts.
He felt pathetic for taking for granted someone who was always by his side and now searching for them desperately.
The sound of happy laughter spread widely throughout the neighborhood over the fence.
The house, which had been quiet for a while, looked warm again as if it had found happiness.
Indeed, this place seemed to make people happy. Even the person who just moved in was laughing so happily.
“I guess I don’t need to come anymore…….”
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.
