For a moment, remembering the text messages that had angered her yesterday, Mi-Joo found Siyoon amusing, but thinking about him spending the day wearing the tie she had chosen made a smile spread across her face.
After finishing his shower, Siyoon came out and saw the clothes she had chosen placed in the middle of the dressing room shelf. He went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
After meeting with a housewife who helped with housework and asking about Siyoon’s taste and favorite foods, Mi-Joo felt relieved.
She received straightforward yet somewhat challenging advice. And she was told to prepare a more generous amount than expected, along with the words that Siyoon was a big eater.
Siyoon already knew that he was a big eater. Watching him always eat double or more of what he ate to maintain his robust and sturdy physique, Siyoon was always proud and impressed by his vigorous activities.
“Today’s menu is French toast, and a salad with oriental sauce on the side. Ah, milk!”
The moment I was about to take out the milk after placing the prepared food on the dining table, Si-Yoon entered the kitchen.
As expected, Mi-Joo was wearing the shirt and tie she had chosen. Whether it was due to his good eye or Si-Yoon’s ability to skillfully digest any fashion, Mi-Joo was delighted and happy that the beautiful man standing in front of her was her man, regardless of anything else.
Approaching Si-Yoon, Mi-Joo fondly touched his tie with a satisfied smile.
“It suits you well. Cool colors suit you better, Si-Yoon.”
“Thank you. I was always worried about what to wear in the morning, but you chose for me.”
Of course. Si-Yoon confidently displayed the best styling and fashion to catch Mi-Joo’s eyes every morning. There was no hesitation in choosing clothes and accessories.
Despite having such a sense, Si-Yoon, who praised and thanked her excessively for choosing a tie and clothes once or twice, felt grateful and warm.
“I made French toast. The sauce is delicious too.”
Mi-Joo took Si-Yoon’s hand and led him to the dining table. However, Si-Yoon remained still, and Mi-Joo looked at him intently.
“I’m sorry. I have to leave early today.”
“Just for a moment. Oh, should I pack it for you?”
Mi-Joo went to the kitchen island and rummaged through the drawers to find a container for the toast.
“No, it’s okay.”
‘Okay!’
Such a disappointing word flew into Mi-Joo’s chest. Mi-Joo looked at Si-Yoon as if asking what was wrong. For a moment, Si-Yoon also felt sorry as he thought about how his cold voice might have hurt Mi-Joo.
“I’m sorry. I should have told you in advance that I had to leave early. You’ve unnecessarily gone through trouble.”
“What’s going on?”
Si-Yoon looked at Mi-Joo without saying a word. In the penetrating gaze of Si-Yoon, Mi-Joo suddenly felt uneasy, as if wondering if she had done something wrong.
Si-Yoon looked at Mi-Joo without saying a word. In Si-Yoon’s piercing gaze, Mi-Joo suddenly felt anxious, as if questioning if she had done something wrong.
‘No. What could I have done wrong? Then, could it be that Si-Yoon’s feelings and gaze towards me have changed?’
Mi-Joo’s mind became as chaotic as encountering a flood. When Mi-Joo’s gaze, seemingly uneasy, wavered, Si-Yoon approached her, pulling Mi-Joo’s waist. Mi-Joo’s chest pressed against Si-Yoon, and warmth was transmitted through her entire body.
“Listen to me.”
“Yes?”
Looking up at Si-Yoon with a puzzled expression, Mi-Joo asked, “The internet?”
“Don’t ask, don’t pry, and don’t use the internet today.”
“The internet?”
“Don’t go outside either.”
“Why…?”
‘What should I do with this candy-like woman who seems to do what she wants, whether I tell her or not?’
The image of herself, leading a large organization, unable to control this small woman and being tossed around, seemed comical in someone else’s eyes. Nevertheless, Si-Yoon wanted to be swayed by this woman, wanted to be captivated.
“Don’t ask. It’s related to the recent articles, and I need time to handle it.”
“Recent articles… If I find out?”
“I don’t want you to feel upset for no reason, Mi-Joo.”
Anticipating that Si-Yoon would be troubled because of her, tears welled up in Mi-Joo’s eyes. Si-Yoon gently spoke as he touched Mi-Joo’s reddened eyes.
“I have nothing to hide from you, and I hope you have no secrets from me.”
Asserting that she had nothing to hide, Mi-Joo confidently nodded. Si-Yoon, looking at her like that, spoke hesitantly.
“I have to leave early, so let’s talk after I come back.”
Understanding, Mi-Joo blinked her moist eyes and embraced Si-Yoon boldly.
Si-Yoon also held Mi-Joo in his arms, placing his chin on her forehead. The feeling of being tightly connected was comforting. This sense of fulfillment could only be felt from Mi-Joo. He couldn’t afford to let go of this person.
“Don’t use the internet, don’t go outside. Got it?”
“Yes. Don’t worry.”
“Don’t answer any incoming calls. Understand?”
“What about calls from Si-Yoon?”
Mi-Joo looked up.
“Answer my calls, of course.”
Asking an obvious question, Si-Yoon embraced Mi-Joo even tighter, and Mi-Joo nodded against Si-Yoon’s chest.
“Trust only me. And you put my passport together with yours, right?”
“Wait. I’ll find it for you.”
Mi-Joo went into the room and came out with both her and Si-Yoon’s passports.
“Where are you going?”
Taking only his passport from Mi-Joo’s hand, Si-Yoon asked, “Si-Yoon alone?”
For a brief moment, a hint of disappointment flashed across Mi-Joo’s face.
“I’m not going far. You can go to China and back in a day.”
“Why China?”
“My grandfather entrusted me with some work, and something important came up.”
“Oh. A business trip. Are you leaving today?”
“No, depending on the situation. For now, I want to have the passport ready.”
“Before you go, please tell me.”
“Of course.”
Si-Yoon filled his hunger with a long kiss instead of a morning meal.
Even as they kissed, he couldn’t help but wonder if Su-Yeong’s hand had ever touched these soft cheeks. He felt himself unable to control the rising suspicion and jealousy.
However, Mi-Joo lightly tapped Si-Yoon’s rugged chest, offering sweet lips as if telling him to trust her.
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.
