Then, Eun’s words about having only instant coffee at home came to mind.
Instant coffee.
Come to think of it, he had never tasted it.
With a sigh mixed with laughter, Doha raised his gaze to look at Mihee.
“What could be the matter for a son to come see his mom?”
“Yeah.”
Mihee answered firmly, then stared at Doha with a serious look.
“What about you?”
Doha, meeting his mother’s gaze squarely, finally burst into laughter.
“I can’t deceive you, Author Jung Mihee.”
Doha respected his parents.
Father as a father, and mother as a mother.
Stubbornly upright, wanting to resemble them in their dazzling wisdom.
So, whenever he had concerns, he always consulted with the two of them.
Then faintly, an answer seemed to emerge.
But even that ended six years ago.
There’s nothing perfect in this world, and ultimately, one has to walk alone, realizing that.
That’s when he impulsively sought out Mihee.
It had been six years.
“I want something, but I also don’t want to have it.”
Doha, speaking honestly, posed a question.
“Should I take it when it’s like this, or should I not?”
In response to the seemingly casual remark, Mihee asked the question with a rather serious expression.
“Why do you want it?”
“It seems like it would be fun.”
“Then why don’t you want to have it?”
According to that woman, playing with toys that don’t match one’s status will bring disgrace, but his thoughts were different.
“It seems like it would be bothersome.”
There’s no disgrace. It’s just bothersome, that’s all.
Various things follow when you have Seo Yeeun, and they are indeed bothersome.
“Is she worth that much affection?”
“What kind of question is that?”
To Mihee’s question, Doha raised one eyebrow in a somewhat sly manner.
“If my son is considering a woman to this extent, it doesn’t seem like it’s just for fun.”
“I didn’t say it’s a woman.”
Mihee had always been somewhat ghost-like.
“Hey, I’m your mother.”
She always packaged it with the phrase “I’m your mother.”
“Do you really have to say it like that?”
Mihee, nibbling on a croissant with honey spooned on it, explained.
“If coming here is complicated, and seeing your complicated face, it doesn’t seem to be easily cut off.”
Such a face.
What kind of face is it?
“Bring her once. I’ll take a look.”
“It’s not that serious.”
Doha, narrowing his eyes slightly, shook his head.
“I’ll just have coffee and leave.”
Then, Doha, who had unknowingly let the coffee go cold, took a big sip.
“Why? Have lunch before you go.”
“I’m busy. I just came to see Mom’s face for a moment.”
Ironically, he thought of Mihee when he saw Yeeun.
And now, looking at Mihee, he thought of Yeeun.
“Was Mom’s life so difficult too?”
The woman, who was trying to pretend as if her difficult life was nothing, seemed a bit pitiful.
Then suddenly, her mouth, which had been sipping coffee, puckered.
Doha, who placed the coffee cup on the table, clenched his molars.
Whether it was because she had bitten her lips, or because every time he thought of her, it seemed as if there was sugar in her mouth, making it sweet. But now, it tasted bitter.
It used to be sweet.
So sweet that her face wrinkled.
“I’ll go.”
“Already? You didn’t even bring tea…….”
“I have a car waiting in front of the workshop from the secretary’s office right now.”
Just like when she entered, Doha left the workshop without even a proper greeting.
For the time being, Yeeun, who had started working at the Hanju Group Strategic Planning Headquarters, was granted a two-day leave on Thursday and Friday, thanks to Jisoo’s consideration.
It was an unexpected vacation.
After leaving the emergency room and arriving home, Yeeun called the company, expecting that she would be a bit late for work, only to be informed of this fact.
[Got a call. Take a good rest for two days and come to the main office from Monday. Team Leader Seo Yeeun.]
[I’m sorry for keeping on saying this, but our persona’s future lies on your shoulders. You know, right?]
[Still, don’t push yourself too hard. If it’s tough, run away.]
From start to finish, after the call with Jisoo, who was always absent, Yeeun stared at the sink.
The coffee she poured into a cup after tearing open the bag yesterday was still there.
Then, Cha Doha came to her mind so naturally.
Approaching closely, Yeeun remembered Cha Doha’s lips overlapping with hers in a casual manner.
Raising her hand to touch her lips, Yeeun quickly lowered her head.
“This is crazy. I should have pushed him away properly.”
Yeeun, who stood up from her seat, quickly entered the bathroom.
Even though it was a vacation, there was no time to sit back and relax.
She had some household chores to catch up on, and she needed to visit her mom.
A little while ago, Cha Hyun sent a message saying he would move to the first-class cabin when the money arrives.
She was in a hurry.
After thoroughly washing away the residue of the long day, Yeeun dried her hair and changed her clothes.
Wearing a loose-fitting shirt and jeans she usually doesn’t wear to work, she quickly did the laundry and finished cleaning.
After finishing the household chores, Yeeun, who had cleaned up the lingering remnants of the long day, changed into dry clothes.
There was no time for leisure when on vacation.
She checked her phone, which she had left in the pocket of her jeans, and saw a message.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
