Slightly disheveled as if he had just come from somewhere, Eun Woo’s appearance drew more attention.
Seeing him made Seol Hee’s heart feel tight. She felt like she should talk about today’s events, but meeting him so suddenly left her unprepared.
Pretend not to see him. I’ll sort out my feelings today and talk to him tomorrow.
As Seol Hee was about to close the door, holding the doorknob, Eun Woo quickly walked over and caught the door just before it closed.
It was about to close in just 1 cm!
“Yu Seol Hee!”
There, as always, was the neat, yet bright-eyed Dr. Ok.
“Yes… Yes? Dr. Ok, did you go out somewhere? Nice to meet you.”
Nice to meet you? What nonsense. Under normal circumstances, Eun Woo, who would have laughed at such a comment, frowned. His sharp gaze dropped.
“Why, why?”
“Why did you try to close the door on me just now?”
So he did see. Of course, if he hadn’t, he wouldn’t be human.
But admitting that she closed the door upon seeing him would also be problematic.
“Me? I didn’t see Dr. Ok.”
“Lies. Just now, we made eye contact as I was by the elevator.”
At Dr. Ok’s words, Seol Hee shook her head.
“Me! My eyesight is bad, that’s why.”
Dr. Ok then pointed to Seol Hee’s right eye and said,
“1.6.”
And then to her left eye, murmuring,
“1.8. I know everything. You’ve never worn glasses or contact lenses in your life.”
Where does he get such information? I don’t remember telling him.
Seol Hee sighed softly without realizing it. As she lowered her head to avoid his piercing gaze, Eun Woo’s fingers touched her chin. He gently lifted her chin to meet his gaze.
Making it impossible for her to escape anywhere.
“Yu Seol Hee.”
It seemed like the first time she was facing Dr. Ok after avoiding him for days because of the manager, no, because of that darn kiss.
Her heart fluttered. It was nervous, yet why?
However, unlike usual, annoyance was evident in Dr. Ok’s eyes. His lips twisted in frustration as he spoke.
“Do you dislike me?”
Caught off guard by his unexpected question, Seol Hee’s eyes widened in surprise.
“No…”
But, despite her feeble response, Dr. Ok was not convinced.
“Then why are you avoiding me?”
Eun Woo’s fingertips on her chin made Seol Hee’s neck tingle.
“I want you like this.”
Eun Woo held her chin, looking into her face.
His face, seen up close, made her heart race.
Sharp nose, neat lips. And those black eyes seemed to pierce her soul. She rolled her eyes to avoid his gaze, but it was still in the palm of his hand. There was nowhere to escape.
“When have I ever avoided you?”
Seol Hee made a futile attempt at resistance. But the returning words from Dr. Ok were low and cold.
“You don’t even want to go home together, and you’re avoiding even the casual conversations among coworkers.”
Dr. Ok had noticed. Of course, it would be strange if he hadn’t. Why am I so tactless?
She should have explained properly to him.
Seol Hee felt sorry. As her lips quivered, not knowing what to say, her face naturally slipped out of Eun Woo’s hand.
At Seol Hee’s hesitant behavior, Dr. Ok let out a sigh. Deep furrows formed between his brows, and his fingers trembled and crossed each other.
“Yu Seol Hee.”
“Yes…”
“Are you embarrassed?”
About our relationship.
“Or do you regret it?”
His expression seemed calm, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
“I’m a woman, I don’t know much. No, I don’t really understand human emotions. I’ve been awkward in relationships since I was young, so books and animals are what I’m most comfortable with. But…”
Eun Woo’s lips quivered. He started to speak, then stopped, opened his mouth again, and closed it. After several attempts, his voice, when he finally spoke, was deep.
“It’s the first time I’ve liked someone this much.”
“…”
“I can’t understand more. Yu Seol Hee, you’re too difficult. You seem within reach, then suddenly you get offended and drift away…”
He spoke softly and tenderly, yet decisively.
“If you don’t speak, I won’t understand. Other men might, but I don’t.”
Seol Hee bit her lip and looked up at him. His voice enveloped everything inside her.
“I’m a simple person who thinks as I see. When I look at you now, it seems like I’m a burden, and you dislike it. It seems like my feelings for you are too heavy and you want to avoid me. If you don’t speak now, if you don’t clarify why you’re avoiding me, I can only continue to think that way.”
“…”
“Yu Seol Hee, you had a boyfriend before, right? You said you liked him but he kept clinging to you. I don’t want that to happen.”
“…”
“Please tell me, what’s in your heart.”
His eyes intensely focused on Seol Hee, then slowly opened and closed. Still, Seol Hee remained silent, not knowing what to say.
Finally, Eun Woo made a decision.
He stepped back from Seol Hee and whispered in a shaky voice.
“Understood. I understand your feelings now. I’m sorry for everything so far.”
Thud.
His words of apology felt like a declaration of the end.
It was like declaring that he would no longer take an interest in her.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
