Transmigration: The Narcissistic Cinderella

"Since the two of us as having this cooperation, would not it be better for us to get along with each other? Let's erase whatever had happened in the past," Sookyung stated.

A wide smile was placed on his face while his eyes sparkled. The aura around him currently had the ability to draw people in. However, Jiwoo remained unimpressed.

"No, I don't like being fake neither am I fond of fake people. That's why, behave with me normally, and don't try to put on that mask. I might truly get annoyed and punch you," she spoke out.

Oh Sookyung chuckled at her words and said, "You are really a fool, but you are cute I suppose."

"If you keep on acting like this, you will be reminding me of my ex, and that jerk is someone I want to break the nose of. That bastard had the audacity to exploit me before running away someone with equally fake personality as him," she expressed while Jiwoo clenched her hand into a tight fist.

"Ah! This is surprising. Even someone like you can have an ex; I am not surprised to see that person had turned out to be your ex. After all, you have no charm," he voiced out.

"Do you think you have charm?" she retorted, "The only reason he became my ex because I dumped him before. I eventually got bored of that two timing jerk and left him. He even begged me to not break up with him, but there was no way I was getting into a relationship with that jerk."

"What a lie! I would believe that the story is the other way around. That ex of yours found a better girl and wanted to be with her, but you begged him."

Turning her head back, she glared at him for being so close to the truth; the only part that was like in that was the fact he found a better girl. In Jiwoo's opinion, certainly she was a better option than that Chaeyoung.

"Why are you being this slow with those bags? With those long legs of yours, you should be faster than me! Aish! You are such a disappointment as man!" she commented while she turned towards the front. Her annoyance was clearly displayed through her voice.

Oh Sookyung's lips curved to form a small smirk. Moving his hand slightly backward and forward, he swung the shopping bag in his hand. They came in contact against Jiwoo's back.

Before Jiwoo was able to face him and stare daggers at him, he stated, "Oops! Sorry, that was totally my fault."

Holding in her anger, Moon Jiwoo decided upon letting that pass, considering the fact that she was a benevolent person— at least that was how she portrayed herself to be in the situation.

Once again, as the mischievous glint in Sookyung's eyes became more evident, he swung the bag forward, causing it to hit Jiwoo's back— this time with the impact being harder.

Moon Jiwoo tightened her jaw and was about to let out her anger at the boy before he spoke out, "I am really sorry about it. I am not used to carrying such heavy bags, so at times, I am unable to keep the control."

'It's alright, Moon Jiwoo. You can hold it in. Be the bigger person in this—'

Before she was able to compose herself and continue her thought, the bags again came in contact with her, and the force used this time around was larger than the previous time.

Being aware that he will not be quitting this unless she made it clear to him, Moon Jiwoo folded her arms across her c.h.e.s.t and stared daggers at him.

"Yah! Thief, you are growing really courageous. This is my last warning to you. If this is continued, I would not mind snapping your hands into two," Moon Jiwoo threatened.

Shrugging his shoulders, he spoke out, "I would not mind taking you to the police then."

"There you go again— taking about the police. It seems that the fetish of yours still remains," she said, "But then, I can also report you for s.e.x.u.a.l harassment."

"S.e.x.u.a.l harassment? Those are some big words. Do you even have proof for that?" he voiced out.

"I can just create some proof. What's the difficulty in that?" she expressed.

°°°

The fading light of the dawn illuminated the streets, and chilly evening breeze passed by Sookyung and Jiwoo. The atmosphere around then was serene, and eerie silence surrounded them.

On both sides of them were closed shops and abandoned mansions. There were no signs of human lives around them.

"Where are you going? Shouldn't a little girl like you be afraid of such dark places?" Sookyung questioned.

Oh Sookyung's eyes wandered off the surroundings while his face remained expressionless. Moon Jiwoo, on the other hand, carried herself with pride.

"There was an awesome hotel somewhere around here, but I can't seem to find it," she spoke out, "Maybe it was around the corner or something."

"You really speak as if you have been to Seoul before," he pointed out.

"How does my personal affairs concern you?" she questioned.

"I guess, it doesn't, but I am naturally a curious person," he mentioned.

"What do you expect me to do with that piece of information? If you're curious, then be curious; it's not like I wanted to know that," she vocalised.

"You are really rude to the point I want to punch you, but I am courteous against females. So, you are lucky," he stated.

"Liar, you hit me back at that shopping mall," she voiced out.

That's when, something caught her attention, and Moon Jiwoo instantly stopped her footsteps. Although it was subtle, she was able to hear the footsteps of someone following after them.

Moon Jiwoo turned her head back in that moment, but there was no one standing behind her. Nonetheless, her ears could not have heard wrong.

"Ah! So, you have finally noticed," he vocalised.
