The man was initially captivated by the woman's beauty, unable to extricate himself, but as he watched the woman incessantly wipe the spot he had touched with a piece of paper—even after it became red and swollen—he didn't stop. Furthermore, due to the woman's earlier scream, many people had already begun to look over, with scrutinizing eyes on him, coupled with the woman's actions, it felt like he was being stripped of his clothes and thrown into the crowd. The man's face turned ashen.
He raised his hand and slapped the woman who was wiping her arm and hadn't noticed him. A crisp slap sound echoed, and the woman's action of wiping her arm stopped. Her fair and delicate face quickly swelled up red, filled with bewilderment in her eyes.
However, for the man, that slap made him feel much better. But because he had lost face due to the woman's earlier actions, looking at the woman's face now, he didn't think she was as charming as before.
