Transmigration: The Narcissistic Cinderella - Chapter 169

Hearing the knocks on his door caused Youngjae to lift his head up, and his eyes fell upon his door. He was currently seated upon his bed while his phone was on his hand.

On his phone was a photo of Moon Jiwoo staring at the flower and smiling. Her eyes reflected her love for the flower, and before he had heard the knocks upon his door, his concentration was upon that photo of hers.

Before looking at that picture managed to brighten his mood up, but he did not feel the same way about it right then. Instead of making him feel happier, it just caused his heart to feel heavy.

Knowing how the love of his life had her captured by another and that another wasn’t even someone he was able to compete against gave him a major heartbreak.

His heart ached when he recalled about how fondly she was talking about the male although she was hurt by him, and that’s when, he understood that he did not have a chance in the first place.

He had no idea on when he started to like the girl, but as time passed by, he found it hard to keep his eyes off of the female. He found himself craving for her presence, and wherever she went, it seemed as if his eyes were following her.

Soon enough, his entire mind was engulfed by her. He often thought of her. What was she doing? Did she eat yet? Was she laughing? Or was she crying?

He was concerned with her always to the point it seemed annoying to him at times, and one day, he reached into the realization that he was truly in love with her.

But that came with a sad reality. He was clear on how he wouldn’t be more than a younger brother to her. Even when he made moves on her, she seemed to be unaffected.

There was no way he would be able to be something more than a brother and friend to her. No matter how much he wanted to change that, it wasn’t possible for him, and after a while, he gave up.

Since he wouldn’t be accepted by her any way, he decided to stay silent of his feelings and wanted to stay by her side like that for life. For then, he was satisfied.

But now, he wasn’t sure of it anymore.

The one she loved had appeared, and there were chances of her accepting him. If both of them ended up together, it would feel to him as if she was stolen away from him although she was never his to begin with.

Previously, most of her times were spent with him, but if she got into a relationship with someone she loved, he was sure that he wouldn’t be the first option for her any way.

“Come in,” he said, closing the screen of his phone.

Immediately, he removed the depressed expression from his face and put on a serious one. Knowing who the person on the other side of the door was, he knew that Yura was bound to ask him countless amount of questions after she saw him in that state.

The door to his room was soon pushed open, and Yura looked in through the gap before stepping into the room. The door was closed behind her once she had stepped in.

Looking at how Yura was staring at her feet, he knew that she had something to say, but she was having a difficult time bringing it up. This made him wonder about what it possibly could be because very rarely does she show such a reaction.

“Did Noona go to sleep?” he asked.

Yura raised her line of sight to stare at the man before her before nodding her head. Biting her lower lip, she wondered whether or not she should be letting out her question.

Nervousness began to form within her while she wondered about how she should be voicing out her question. It seemed that she was not able to find correct words to say it.

“Quickly say what you have to say to me instead of looking like this. It’s annoying.”

She nodded her head before taking in a deep breath, and mustering up all of her courage, she asked, “Do you have feelings for Daerin Unnie?”

Her question caused him to widen his eyes, and the shock was clearly visible in them. His face translated what he felt at that moment exactly.

But knowing how he was obvious, he coughed in order to fix his facial expression, and letting out a chuckle, he voiced out, “What type of nonse is that? Why would I even like Noona? I guess I can be close to her at times, but it doesn’t mean that I have any such types of feelings towards her.”

It was not as if he did not trust Yura enough to let her know about his true feelings; he just did not want for the girl to look at him in pity.

Moreover, knowing how the personality of the girl could be, he knew that she would try to interfere and help him to be with Jiwoo.

That was one of those things he did not want. Although he would be more than happy if he got the chance to date Jiwoo, he was well aware of how Jiwoo would not be agreeing to that, and it will only be ruining the relationship between both of them.

Creases formed between both of her eyebrows, and her eyes showed how she clearly did not trust the male’s words. There was no one else Youngjae was able to blame for this other than him for being this obvious— that even someone as dense as Yura was able to notice.

“Are you sure?” She questioned— her tone implying her doubt.

“Of course, silly! If I am not sure about it, then who will be? Now, stop asking such stupid questions and get to bed already. It’s already late, and I am sure you don’t want to be harshly woken by tomorrow morning.”

She nodded her head, and her face showed how she wasn’t fully convinced yet.

“I don’t believe you for some reasons. It’s not that I am calling you a liar. Maybe it is just that you haven’t come to realize your feelings.

One thing I am sure of that today you looked as if you had your heartbroken when you stared at Daerin Unnie. You seemed heartbroken. It was just like those scene from those dramas,” she pointed out.

“Are you judging by love life from the standards of your dramas now, Yura? You clearly need to stop watching them because they are just making you delusional, and the actors weren’t that good at acting.”

“No, they were really good, and dramas make me intelligent, not idiotic,” she corrected.

“How stupid are you that you need dramas to make you smart, Yura? You always seem to cross my expectations! I don’t know whether or not I should be happy at that,” he said.

“Shut up! I am smart; it’s just that I haven’t been able to show my entire potential yet. Anyway, I am sure that you feel something for Daerin Unnie, and it would just be that you haven’t come in terms with your feelings yet,” she spoke out, “But don’t worry! I will try my best to get you two to be together.

Now that, Unnie had gotten her heartbroken recently, it would be the best opportunity to strike. I know that you will be able to do it if you work hard, Youngjae! I will make you realize your feelings, and make her fall in love with you! Trust in me!”

“That’s one thing I really don’t want to do right now, and I am telling you. Stop misunderstanding! I don’t have any feelings for Unnie! I know myself the best!” he agrued. “That’s why, don’t do anything unnecessary, Yura!”

“Don’t worry! I don’t be doing anything unnecessary. Once this is over, you will be happy and grateful towards me! I promise you that,” she vocalised.

“I doubt that,” he mumbled.

But before he was able to say anything more, she stated, “Don’t look like that! I promise you that it will be a success. Now, get to bed early and wake up early. I will get to bed and think of some ideas. Then, I will be leaving. Bye!”

Before the male was able to stop her, Yura opened the door and walked out, closing the door behind her after waving at him. A baffled expression sat on his face while he stared at the door.

A sigh left his mouth while he ran his hand through his hair. Now that the girl was getting involved, without a doubt, this wouldn’t be peaceful anymore.

Seeing how determined about it she was, he might have to resort to bribing her in order to stop her from doing this.
