Transmigration: The Narcissistic Cinderella

Faced with Han Sungmin, Moon Jiwoo was unable to see a way out of it. Having a confrontation was something she desperately wanted to avoid. Looking back to it, there are lots of people she would rather avoid these days.

Maybe she shouldn't let the boredom get the best of her and make her come out. After all, if it wasn't for the fact that she was unable to stay inside her room quietly, she would not have to meet face to face with Han Sungmin at this moment.

After the man had reprimanded her for absolutely no reason last time around, she had no reason to have a good impression on him. Moreover, everytime, the man looked at her as if she was a thorn by Oh Sookyung's side.

"What are you shamelessly doing at here until now!? It's because of you that Oh Sookyung has been doing crazy things recently! I advise you to stop pouring such ideas inside his mind and leave," he voiced out, "If you are not obedient, I can't ȧssure you that I wouldn't be crossing the line."

Moon Jiwoo was about to avoid the man and silently leave, but now, hearing those words, there was no she was able to do something like that.

'Shameless? Old Man, it's your son who is desperate to keep at here. It's not like I wanted to stay at here in the first place.'

"No," Moon Jiwoo answered, "Old Man, do whatever you want, but I am not getting away from here. You are really cowardly though. Just because you are unable to get Sookyung to remove me from here, you are coming and attacking me— the weaker one. 

However, one thing I am telling you that is as long as Sookyung doesn't tell me to leave this palace, I am not doing so. Instead of me being the shameless, aren't you the one being so?"

Moon Jiwoo raised one of her eyebrows.

Although the man before her was quite intimidating, Jiwoo did not understand where her all the courage had come from. Maybe it was because of how she was too idiotic to be scared of him.

"How dare you use that tone on me? Are you actually aware of who I am?" he asked.

"Can't you stop using such a cliche line? Where do you think you are at? Acting at some kind of movie or something? 

About whatever is going on between Sookyung and me, why are you coming to me about it? Just go to Sookyung if you have the courage, Old Man, and quit bothering me! I don't know why everyone has to approach me!"

"It's your fault for seducing my son, You Ill-mannered Brat! I don't know what methods you have used, but don't you have any shame for turning him against his fated one? How dare you try to create problems between both of them?" he questioned.

"Don't tell me that you are blaming me for being too beautiful and charming. Look, I am used to guys fall head over heels for me, and unfortunately, I am unable to do something about it. Seeing how attractive I am, it's no surprise actually. 

What am I supposed to do if Oh Sookyung is this crazy about me? He will wreck havoc if I go away from here. That's why, it is very crucial for me to be at here.

Please give it a proper thought, Old Man, and you will find everything I am saying valid as well," Moon Jiwoo voiced out calmly— proud of herself for being able to come up with such a comeback.

However, before she was able to congratulate herself properly, a sharp pain went through her cheek, and her eyes widened while she found a cut forming at the corner of her lips. Her face showed how shocked she was from his sudden slap.

Raising her hand, she touched her cheeks as she watched the middle-aged man before her. Anger could easily be differentiated from his features while he had his hand raised.

"Did you just slap me? How dare you? What gives you the—"

Before Moon Jiwoo was able to continue further, a gasp escaped from her mouth when she noticed how Han Sungmin flew backward due to sudden movement of the wind. His back collided against the wall while a loud sound was created due to the contact.

Taken aback due to the sudden action, she raised her hand to place the palm above her mouth while a wince left Han Sungmin's mouth.

"I have already told you to stay away from her. But it seems that I haven't informed about it properly about it to you, seeing how you came to meet up with her. How dare you raise your hands against her? Do you know who you are or what your status is, You Filthy Old Man?" 

Hearing Oh Sookyung behind, she looked back, and his features fell into her line of sight. As he made his way over to Han Sungmin, she pursed both of her lips together and anticipated about what Sookyung will be doing to the man next.

As he stood before the man, Moon Jiwoo was able to see how the air about Sookyung was different from the other times. It felt as if the temperature in the room had decreased by a couple of degrees, and a chill went down Moon Jiwoo's back although his anger wasn't directed at her in this moment.

One thing Moon Jiwoo knew about was that she was too frightened to meet with his gaze at that moment, and she was able to discern that by solely looking at his back. The aura around him was too intimidating for her.

"You are doing a big mistake from this. I just want to tell you about this," Sungmin voiced out, "Regardless of how crazy you have become, it doesn't mean that you are able to accept someone else who is not your fated one. This—"

"You should know when to shut up, Old Man. Talking way too much isn't good for you. Just because I have told you about this doesn't mean that you are able to interfere in this. 

Remember that. This time I am letting you go with a warning, but if you or any of your men continue this, I will make sure to personally take care of this.

Just because you are supposed to be my biological father doesn't mean anything to me. Hopefully, that is made clear to you, Han Sungmin. I am the king at here, and you are a mere leader at here. 

There are only certain amount of times I will be able to endure you going out of the line," Sookyung expressed, "Now, scram from here, and don't question my authority from next time onwards."

Han Sungmin let out a scoff before disappearing into the thin air, and Jiwoo's eyes continued to stare at Oh Sookyung as he turned back to face her.

Gone was that anger filled expression on his face from earlier, and it was completely replaced with worry for her. Due to that, she had a small smile forming upon her features. Having him protect her like that had Moon Jiwoo's heart fluttering.

"You Idiot, why did you stand at here and get slapped by him? You should have just run away from here. Does it hurt?" he spoke out.

"Not exactly, but it did wound my pride greatly. You let him go really easily. I wanted to beat him up before letting him leave," Jiwoo said, "What does he see me as? Someone who is easily to attack or something?"

Shaking his head, Oh Sookyung vocalised, "You can do that to him the next time you meet him, alright? Although I have threatened him, I doubt that he will be abiding by that. It would be best for you to be careful."

"Yes, I will make sure to that. Why is my luck that bad? It seems like that I always end up with the worst in-laws. This time around, it's way more horrible than the last time." Moon Jiwoo let out a loud groan.

"Who cares about in-laws when you have such a sweet boyfriend like me? I will give you all the love in the world, so that the last thing you will be feeling is deprived of love," he voiced out.

"Wow! You are cheesy to the point that I get chills for real, Oh Sookyung," she commented, "And when did you become my boyfriend? Might I remind you that two months isn't over and until now, you haven't fixed anything."

"Don't you know how reliable I am? I am very close to solving everything," he spoke out.

"You still haven't told me about what you are planning to do, Oh Sookyung," she said, "Being left in the dark is not something I am quite fond of. I am sure that you are aware of it."

"It will ruin all the fun if I tell you about it now."
