Transmigration: The Narcissistic Cinderella - Chapter 183

A young man was seated beside the bar, and a melancholic expression was in his eyes as he released a sigh. He held on to a glass filled with alcoholic drink and watched as the drink twirled inside of the glass.

“Are you crying over your first love’s marriage?” a voice questioned.

Hearing that familiar voice, Youngjae turned left to see that Yura pulled the chair beside him in order to sit. A small smile was visible on her face.

“What? Want to laugh at me?” Youngjae raised one of his eyebrows.

Letting out a chuckle, she said, “Of course! It has been years now, and you are still unable to let of go of your first love. Isn’t it pathetic?”

Raising one of his eyebrows, he questioned, “Do you want to pick a fight with me?”

At his words, Yura raised both of her hands and spoke out, “I have no intention of doing that. You can’t expect me to rub salt over your wounds when you are this depressed. But I clearly remember you saying how you had moved on from her, but it seems that you are close shedding tears due to her.”

“Last time,” he vocalised, “This is the last time it will happen. Now that she is married, all of my hopes are extinguished, and I will be able to move on from her.”

His words caused the girl beside him to let out a gasp while she vocalised, “Don’t tell me that you had the plans to steal Unnie from brother-in-law the entire time. Wow! Youngjae!”

He scoffed at that and answered, “It’s nothing like that. It’s just that I was waiting for her heart to be broken or her love for him to go away, so that I can make a space for myself in her heart. But I guess things doesn’t go the way you expect them to.”

“Of course they don’t,” Yura stated, “Isn’t that why my crush is oblivious to my feelings after all these years? Do you think I should confess to him?”

Her words managed to catch the boy by surprise, and after taking a sip out of the glass before him, he stared at the girl from top to bottom.

He then questioned, “You like someone?”

“You didn’t notice it until now? Wow! You are totally dense! Even Daerin Unnie was able to guess about it! Don’t you dare say that you know me the best after that,” Yura joked as laughter escaped from her mouth.

“Who do you love? Is he a decent guy? You have a tendency to get into trouble. That’s why, that guy just be verified by me before you can even get to be in a relationship with him. Remember that,” Youngjae said.

“You do know that you are not my older brother or something. I can protect myself well,” Yura said although her heart was touched due to the concern he showed towards her— even if it wasn’t in the way she wanted it to be.

“What a joke! You relied on me for your entire life!” he retorted.

“Anyway, this was supposed to be me comforting you for your failed love life. When did this become about me? Now, cry out your heart, Dear Youngjae! I will be the older sister for today, and I came prepared at here. I brought tons of tissues today,” Yura vocalised.

“You will need those tissues for yourself when I am done with you,” he voiced out.

“Are you being right now? There is no need for that. Both of us are close to the point that we don’t need to be reserved about everything. Now, start crying,” she said, looking at the male with eagerness in her eyes.

“It seems that you are really anticipating to see me cry. Unfortunately that wouldn’t be happening. If you want to truly comfort me about this, why don’t we just move on from this and talk about your love life? Who is this man you have crush on?”

“Wow! You are really curious! Well, since you don’t want to talk on it much longer, fine. Why don’t you try to guess the man I like? I ȧssure you that you know him very well!”

“I know him? Park Changmin?”

“Are you kidding me? No way! He is a bully!”

“Han Jaesuk?”

“Of course not! He talks way too much!”

“Kim Shihyuk?”

“Absolutely no! He doesn’t even like girls in the first place!”

“What does that got to do with you having a crush on me? Ryu Jeongin?”

“Are you even serious!? He is twenty years older than me! How bad do you think my taste is to mention him?”

“You don’t need to get this pissed. I was just seeing. Yoon Jaemin?”

“He is too timid. He can’t even say a word without stuttering.”

“Im Jaebum?”

“He has girls in both of his hands twenty four seven. Do you think my taste degraded that badly?” Yura raised one of her eyebrows.

“I give up. These are all the man that I know are around you. Did you befriend someone without my knowledge? Could it be that you have feelings for Oh Sookyung?”

“Are you crazy!?” she exclaimed, hitting on his arm while glaring at him.

Letting out a sigh, she knew that there was no use trying to play this game with him any longer. There was no one who was possibly as dense as this male.

“I can’t believe that you didn’t mention the most obvious option, and you call me an idiot! It’s you! Dumbass, you are the one I had feelings for from a long time.

I can’t believe that you were unable to figure out about it after I was being so obvious to you. I can’t believe that you have the audacity to call others dense!”

Those words of Yura managed to catch the boy by utter surprise as his eyes widened, and raising his hand, he pointed to himself after blinking his eyes multiple number of times.

He couldn’t believe how the things progressed all of a sudden.

“You like me?”

The stupefied Youngjae caused Yura to let out a chuckle, and standing up, she stated, “Yeah! That’s why, now I will be making you fall for me!”
