Chapter 165: In the first place, people don’t change
"You’re strong." Seo-Jun said and my heart skipped a beat. "How are you so strong? You’re just... An Omega."
Is it weird that my heart skipped a beat? I don’t know but that’s what happened. It wasn’t like falling in love or something like that, it was rather because I had heard the most unexpected thing come out of this man’s mouth.
He just said... I was strong? Seo-Jun did?
"When I think of how hard you’re trying to change your fate and how you never cave in no matter how cornered you are, I just can’t wonder what kind of person you are. The real person behind that mask you always put on. What goes through your mind for real and what do you wish for most? Those questions," he covered a part of his face with his left palm as he trembled.
He looked like he was going insane.
"They invade my thoughts every time and I find myself going crazy. Jo-Pil, I’m not going to ask what you did to me because just like the others, you probably didn’t need to do much for them to fawn around you like that, but I just want to know... Will I ever be someone you can smile at?" He asked, his tone sad and his expression troubled and I paused.
The question took me by surprise but it was his question that had me raising my eyebrows in speculation.
This man, what was he scheming?
I couldn’t help but doubt him, despite the kind of act he was putting up.
For all I knew, he was stooping himself to this level on purpose for his big plan to ’expose’ me to the masters who love me.
I wasn’t going to fall for it.
