Transmigration: The Narcissistic Cinderella - Chapter 114

Seeing the tears that twinkled at the corner of his eyes— coupled with how Sookyung pressed his palm upon his face in order to compress his laughter— caused irritation to rise within Moon Jiwoo, and she glared at the boy.

“Stop! If you dare to do it, Oh Sookyung, I will make it that you will never be able to laugh again,” Jiwoo threatened.

Both of them were out of the cave now, and after Moon Jiwoo terrified reaction at the cave, Oh Sookyung found it difficult to hold his laughter in.

The teasing glint in his eyes managed to anger Jiwoo further, and it reminded her know badly she had humiliated herself in the cave. Moon Jiwoo blamed it all on the mud, since she believed that she would have been successful without that interfering.

Taking in a deep breath, Sookyung removed the hand from around his mouth and wore on a composed expression. The tears disappeared from the corner of his eyes.

Wearing a small smile on his face, he questioned, “Is this fine?”

But before Moon Jiwoo was able to nod to that, the male broke out into laughter and said, “Sorry, Daerin. I don’t think I am able to hold it in. Whatever happened was too funny!

No, you were bragging on how haunted house are childish, and the next moment you were clinging on to me as your life depended on me. You can be seriously cute at times, Shin Daerin!”

Looking at the male who was laughing loudly, Moon Jiwoo rolled her eyes, and folding her arms over her ċhėst, she voiced out, “I am pleased to hear that you find my embarrassed side cute.

Then, since you’re having fun on your own, I am leaving. It seems that you have forgotten about your objective to make me laugh.”

With that, Moon Jiwoo turned her back on the male and was about to walk away from there when Sookyung, who managed to bring some control over his laughter, placed his palm above her shoulder to stop her.

“No, wait. Sorry. I promise to seriously not laugh this time around,” Sookyung said, “But admit it. It was fun, right? There is no fun in a haunted house if you are not scared.”

Placing a smile on her face, Moon Jiwoo faced him and vocalised, “No, I did not find a single amount of fun in being humiliated. But maybe I would have decently enjoyed it if you were the one being mortified.”

“You are really a stubborn one, right? Anyway, let’s eat something before continuing. What do you want to eat? It’s my treat,” Sookyung spoke out.

“In case you are forgetting, all of my money comes from you, so you treating me doesn’t make it special,” Jiwoo pointed out.

“Well then, just consider it to be a bonus,” Sookyung voiced out, “There are lots of food I want to try out. Should we start out with their specialty first?”

“You can have them on your own. I am not particularly fond of the street foods,” Jiwoo stated, “They are—”

°°°

Staring at Moon Jiwoo who took a bite out of the dessert in her hand, Sookyung smiled at her and commented, “For someone who doesn’t like street food, you seem to be enjoying this a lot.”

The tart in Jiwoo’s hand was quite cold and unlike something Jiwoo had tasted before. Although street foods were not something Jiwoo was particularly fond of, she could not bring herself to dislike the tart in her hand.

Turning her head to face him, she retorted, “For someone who promised to make me have fun today, you are making me really upset today. Was that your true objection?”

Sookyung chuckled and voiced out, “Aren’t you having fun by eating that tart? Look at how your eyes are sparkling and at that wide smile on your face.”

“That’s nonsensical! It’s not as if I particularly like the tart; it’s just that I am really hungry,” Jiwoo stated, “I would have eaten it like this even if it was something else.”

“Fine, I won’t argue with you any longer. As long as you’re having fun, I am content with it. You don’t have to mention about it to me,” Sookyung said, “And stop scowling and just smile. Don’t ruin the day by that!”

Taken aback by his words all of a sudden, Moon Jiwoo stopped eating and said, “Why are you being so mȧturė and sweet all of a sudden? It puts me at an awkward position.”

“No idea,” he stated before extending his hand towards her face.

His thumb brushed against her cheek, wiping away the remnants of the cream, and Jiwoo found herself unable to move while her eyes followed after his thumb.

Bringing over his thumb to his mouth, he licked it and spoke out, “That’s really delicious. I should have brought one for myself as well.”

Jiwoo was startled when she found her heart pounding rapidly, and finding Sookyung to be seductive in that moment, her cheeks started to heat up slowly.

As she took a step backwards, she voiced out, “Oh Sookyung, why would you even do that!? That’s really gross.”

“It appeared quite tempting,” Sookyung said, “You should get used to things like this so. If you blush everytime I do this, this will show that you are inexperienced.”

Finding those words to be insulting, Jiwoo vocalised, “No, I am not inexperienced! If you are forgetting, I had a fiancé before. Moreover, I even shot a lot of dramas with romantic scenes, and all the men there were more handsome than you.

And what do you even mean by that I should get used to it? Why should I do that in the first place? This kind of thing should not be done casually!”

“I believe that you are not inexperienced, but since you are blushing and reacting like that, it can only imply one thing,” he stated.

At his words, Jiwoo raised one of her eyebrows in curiosity and waited for him to continue. A smirk formed on Sookyung’s face as he inched closer to the woman.

He then whispered into her ear: “That you are starting to be attracted towards me.”

His sudden words caused Moon Jiwoo’s eyes to widen, and feeling strange after listening to those words, it took her some to process the sentence.

Taking a step back, Sookyung smiled at her and waited for her reaction. Instead of her being provoked by those words, a grim expression sat on her countenance as she looked at him.

“No, that can not be the case,” Jiwoo said, “I was in love with Ahn Eunwoo, and around you, I don’t feel how I used to feel around him. This shows I don’t have such emotions towards you.”

“Geez! You don’t have to make such a face at it. You ruined the atmosphere with it and broke my heart. It would have been better if you shouted something else,” Sookyung vocalised.

“It did not make me annoyed though,” Jiwoo spoke out.

Sookyung chuckled and voiced out, “You usually get irritated at the smallest thing yet you’re unaffected by this. Daerin, you can be extremely strange at times.”

“Look who’s talking,” Jiwoo retorted.

“Anyway, you can’t be too sure that you don’t feel any attraction towards me. Maybe you do, and you don’t know about it,” he said, “It’s impossible for you to not feel anything towards me after how attractive and caring I am.”

“I am used to faces as handsome as yours, and your caring part gets deleted from my mind the moment I see you tease me,” Jiwoo pointed out, “There is no quality of yours to fall for.”

“Why don’t we test that?” Sookyung suggested.

Jiwoo raised one of her eyebrows.

“Let’s kiss. If you still feeling nothing after that, I will be sure. Kissing someone should not be a big deal to you since you’re experienced,” Sookyung said.

His words managed to tremendously shock her, and she spoke out, “What nonsense are you uttering? Why should I be kissing you? Even if I kissed thousands of handsome men before, it gives me no reason to kiss you!”

“Why aren’t you calmly replying this time around? Seeing how strongly you are rejecting this, doesn’t this mean that you are afraid of feeling something? I guessed it correctly, right? Don’t worry! Even if you feel something towards me, our relationship won’t change.”

“Fuck off!” she exclaimed.

Turning her back on him, Moon Jiwoo strode forward. She had no dėsɨrė to oblige by Oh Sookyung’s ridiculous suggestion. Knowing that he was only doing this to anger her, she suċkėd in the cold air and composed herself.

Running behind of Moon Jiwoo, Sookyung wrapped his hand around her, and hugging her from the back, he pulled her closer to him.

“Aigoo! Is my Daerinnie being shy right now?’ he asked.

Stomping on his foot, she glared at him and said, “Shut it or else I will seriously leave this time around!”
