She was a delicate beauty, yet she stumbled into his world—he scolded her, "Don't run around," but then shielded her behind his bulletproof vest; he flirted with her, "Come with me," his eyes hiding unspoken sorrow; his "fierceness" was armor, his "flirting" his weakness.

    The male lead said it was just a casual fling, and the female lead decisively left. 🍃 ① [We're playing a game between a playboy and a good girl; whoever falls in love first loses.] The relationship began with a casual "just for fun" and ended with a seemingly ordinary "I'm bored." The female lead, a good girl, wasn't clingy, greedy, demanding, or interested in the future. He said, "I don't want to get married," and she replied, "Oh." He said, "I don't like children," and she silently nodded. He said, "I'm bored; let's break up." She didn't argue or make a scene; the usually obedient and sensible woman resolutely left. Actually, they could have played together for a lifetime. The female lead was realistic; the man in a higher position bowed to love, leading to a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" scenario. 🍉
