Transmigration: The Narcissistic Cinderella - Chapter 165

The cool air hit her face while she walked through the street. Although she was still drunk, compared to before, she was much more sober, seeing how she managed to walk properly without losing her balance.

Beside her was Oh Sookyung, and the male stares straight while both of them walked beside each other.

All the nerves that she felt other times she was beside the male was no longer there because of the alcohol and she was feeling much more brazen right now.

There was no anxiety within her, and she felt as if she would be able to reveal about all of her deepest feelings towards him right now.

The control over her mouth that she had currently was very low, and all the pent up frustrations was irritating her and wanted for her to let them out at the male beside her.

Nevertheless, seeing how Sookyung did not say anything, she made sure to be silent as well and count each footsteps she took towards her apartment.

There was an awkward silence between both of them, and the drunk Jiwoo was eager to break this. Maybe she should start the conversation.

Without caring about the consequences, she vocalised, “You, New Boss, you don’t need to walk me home. It just makes the things terrible.”

“Is that so? Then, I will be leaving,” he spoke out.

His words took Moon Jiwoo by surprise. Although she was discontent with how he was the one taking her home, that did not mean that she would be satisfied if he left her at here. After all, she was a girl and drunk; it only seemed right of him to take her home.

Noticing how the male turned his back on her and was about to walk away, Moon Jiwoo’s eyes widened, and instantly, she grabbed on to the arm of the male in order to stop him from taking a step further.

“You are leaving just like that? Aren’t you too rude?” she questioned.

Raising one of his eyebrows, he turned his head back to face the girl and pointed out, “Aren’t you worse for being ungrateful to the person who offered to take you home?”

“You are right about that,” she said, “I want to talk to you. Why don’t you come to my house?”

Seeing how Moon Jiwoo was swaying lightly as those words left her mouth, he commented, “Talk? I don’t think you are at a state to do that.”

As she felt the figure before her go blurry, she blinked her eyes multiple times in order to fix the view, and when she managed to see Sookyung clearly again, couple of giggles escaped from her mouth.

“Ah! Then, let’s talk here, you petty son of a bitch!”

“Petty son of a bitch?” he enunciated.

Moon Jiwoo nodded her head couple of times before continuing, “Yeah, that’s what you are being right now. I know that you are doing all of this to torture me!

Can’t you just grow up or something? I don’t even see the use of hanging on to the past and doing something like this. Does this make you happy, you ȧsshole!? Aish! You jerk, talking with you infuriates me!”

Instead of getting angered due to her words, he let out a chuckle, and his eyes showed how amused he was. But mixed with that was hint of mock that the drunk Jiwoo was unable perceive.

“At least your drunk self is much more honest than your sober one.”

Ignoring that sentence from him, she spoke out, “I don’t know what games you are trying to play, but can’t you just leave me out of it? I seriously don’t like you anymore and wanted to stay away from you, You Dog!”

“I can’t do that,” he answered.

This time it seemed that she properly understood his words, and finding herself being angry due to those words of his, she raised her leg to kick on his shin while her eyes started to glare at the male before her. She couldn’t believe that he had the audacity to say something like this.

It appeared as if her attack had no affect on him, and he did not seem to budge from his position or flinch slightly. Then, she remembered about how weak she was compared to before, and that saddenned her.

Before she was able to make the man cry out due to pain, but now, she wasn’t even able to hurt the man before her. It did make her feel pathetic.

“Why are you doing this? Why? Is it fun to see me suffer like this? I want to hate you, but I can’t! Why? Why? Why? Why are you doing this to me? Why did you have to come and ruin my life again? Are you having fun from all of this?”

Nodding his head, he replied, “Yes.”

Due to the frustrations, tears started to build up in her eyes, and the Jiwoo right now had enough pride to not show her tears to Oh Sookyung. She did not want to appear more of a loser in his eyes.

With that in her mind, she let go of the man, and looking away from him, she voiced out, “I don’t want to talk to you any longer. Just do whatever you want to do. I guess, this is karma for everything.”

Moon Jiwoo then looked at the ground, and while a downcast expression sat on her face, she started to walk forward. A part of her hoped that Oh Sookyung would be stopping her, but seeing how that did not come, disappointment went through her.

She was sober enough to scold herself mentally for holding such unrealistic expectations towards Oh Sookyung.

What Moon Jiwoo was not aware of was that through her entire walk to her house, the male followed after her silently, and maybe because of how duller her senses were when she was drunk, she remained unaware of his presence behind of her.

As Moon Jiwoo made her way over to the front of her apartment, she was unable to take a step forward, and with her sight becoming completely blurry, she decided to take a rest at here. Moreover, she did not have an ounce of energy within her to take out her keys and unlock her apartment.

Letting out a yawn, she leaned against the wall beside her door and slid down. As her head leaned against the wall, she closed her eyes and let herself drift into the Dreamland. The tears stopped flowing down her eyes, and a small smile replaced the frown on her face.

Oh Sookyung who stood before the girl stared at her while she fell asleep, and he shook his head at how careless she was being right now. Although she tried to act like an ȧduŀt these days, in his eyes, she bȧrėly changed.

Then, all of a sudden, that coldness from his eyes disappeared, and the corner of his lips curved to form a smile. Leaning down, he picked the girl you, and his eyes scanned through every features of hers.

He then voiced out, “How did you even survive until now, you idiot?”

°°°

Moon Jiwoo found herself on her bed once she had opened her eyes, but that wasn’t her concern at that moment. As the memories of last night began to flood inside of her mind, she started to regret everything like she did everytime she was drunk.

Grabbing on to the material of her blanket tightly, she hit her head with her hand while cringing at herself for being like that yesterday.

She recalled about all the words she had said to the male and how she ended the entire thing by crying. In Sookyung’s eyes, she probably seemed to be quite pathetic.

Maybe she should just act as if she did not remember about anything.

Although he knew about her drinking habits, probably he would be keeping along with her pretense as well. It seemed as if he was comfortabe with how the relationship between the two of them were, and she couldn’t see any signs of him wanting to ruin it— other than how he wanted to take revenge on her.

Definitely he would not be exposing her.

Even if he did, she can still just feign obliviousness. She was proud of her current acting skills and believed that she wasn’t that transparent to him like she was in her earlier days.

‘Moon Jiwoo, you will be able to do it. Although you were an idiot last night, this is not a big deal! You will definitely be able to solve something as slight as this! Have confidence in yourself! Fighting, Moon Jiwoo! Just use your amazing acting skills and you will be fine! Yeah, let’s do that!’
