She was indeed playing hard to get. She unsettled him, yet she still put on an innocent face, which couldn't be more outrageous.
If he compromised first and confessed to her, wouldn't that mean he was falling for her trick!?
He sneered, he would not do as she wished.
However she provoked him, he would return the favor. He wanted to see who would admit defeat first.
The more it was like this, the more he cared about her indifference...!
He couldn't understand where this plain-looking girl with a heart condition got the courage to provoke him. She somehow occupied his mind completely.
This made him even more irritated with her indifference!
Because her image kept involuntarily appearing in his mind, he increasingly wanted to expel her from his thoughts and be carefree like before.
If she didn't care, he could care even less! But he simply couldn't...
So when he saw her acting as if nothing happened, yet he was the only one caring, he felt very imbalanced.
