“Why not choose an easy girl?”
“Yes?”
“I find Yoon Dajeong too difficult. She’s so difficult, it’s driving me crazy.”
“Difficult? Isn’t it too easy for you?”
The man laughed as if he found it absurd.
“Easy? Where? How?”
“Well, I think I’m easy…”
Jaeho made a shocked expression, tilting his head. Dajeong, wrapped in a strange sense of victory, smiled softly.
**
That night, the weather was good for the first time in a while. The stars sparkled brightly. Although Dajeong couldn’t see the night sky from the small corner hospital room with only one tiny window, she was certain that the stars would be twinkling.
If not here, then by the seaside, there would definitely be stars.
Her heart sparkled. Like the stars.
Seated side by side on the bed, they began to have a candid conversation. Dajeong confessed that she had seen a photo of Jaeho with O Chaewon on the day he went up to Seoul. Since then, her heart hadn’t been right.
“There’s a fan chat room. It was posted there. The link to that photo.”
“Ah.”
“Actually, I… I think I kept feeling jealous. It kept coming to my mind. It was uncomfortable, bothered me…”
Dajeong blushed, admitting her jealousy. Jaeho quickly began to explain, perhaps sensing such feelings.
“I met her briefly to reject the drama. It didn’t even take 10 minutes. Really.”
“There must have been reasons. I understand. I just felt uncomfortable, regardless of those reasons. I wanted to tell you that at least once.”
Understanding and jealousy are entirely different.
Dajeong flicked her fingers nervously.
“As for me, I don’t even have a single feeling for O Chaewon. She’s nothing to me, to the point where thinking about it is a luxury.”
Jaeho gently comforted her and spoke.
“…Still, how can you not have any feelings at all? You’ve kissed so much.”
“What?”
Jaeho, who looked like he might burst into laughter due to your crazy eyes, barely held back his laughter.
“Do it that much. Let’s assume acting is inevitable. I have to make a living too, right?”
“…”
“If only it weren’t a hospital…”
Jaeho frowned, revealing his full desire while responding to Dajeong’s short bout of jealousy. Dajeong, instead, awkwardly pushed him away.
“Did you even undress?”
“Well…!”
Dajeong finally pushed him away, completely blushing. The man smoothly stepped back, laughing. However, his blatantly swollen desire was not hidden. Dajeong’s gaze briefly touched and dropped to that place.
“…!”
“What.”
Boldly.
Looking at Dajeong, who was arranging her lips with the back of her hand, he spoke.
Work is work. Dajeong made an exaggerated expression, as if slightly annoyed. Upon this, he burst into laughter. Dajeong, who had been trying to hold back her laughter, finally laughed along.
Like this, it eventually became like this.
“Yeah. On a night like this, it feels nice here too.”
Dajeong admitted it. Jaeho responded casually.
“This hospital room? It’s just shabby. If we’re talking about being nice, the suite room back then was much better.”
“I didn’t even properly see the room that day!”
Dajeong retorted sharply.
“You have to see it. How can you compare this hospital room to a hotel?”
It must have been a room worth millions.
I know.
Even so.
“Still, I prefer it here.”
It’s a bit embarrassing.
“Because you and I made up and are laughing.”
Confessing like this.
A gleam appeared in the man’s eyes. Whatever he was about to say, he just gently pulled Dajeong and hugged her. It seemed like he murmured, “I have nothing more to wish for.”
**
The next day arrived. It felt like walking on clouds. Among the floating emotions, a bubbling excitement emerged. In the end, Dajeong decided to accept everything.
Just like I did, he fell in love with me at first sight.
An unbelievable story, but it was true. Jaeho remembered that day in great detail.
Why is that?
An uncontrollable smile kept spreading.
She even gained the courage to be a bit more greedy. From the beginning, he was a man who had come forward despite knowing various circumstances.
A man who, without saying that he had been watching for quite a while, simply laughed.
Really.
Embarrassingly.
“Yoon Nurse. Tell me honestly. Do you have a man?”
Yeongsuk approached and playfully teased Dajeong, who was laughing alone. Dajeong raised her head.
“No.”
“If you’re in this state without having a man, you should go to the hospital.”
Yeongsuk jokingly shook Dajeong’s shoulders, grabbing her like a paper doll. Dajeong stammered out an answer as she swayed.
“But this is a hospital.”
As the night shift ended, Dajeong packed her things. Yumi, who was just starting her day shift, approached and pointed at Dajeong.
“Hey! Nurse Yoon! Stop right there.”
Yumi ran up excitedly, stood in front of Dajeong, and made a fist. Then, as if she were a detective, she squinted her eyes and began deducing.
“I saw you yesterday, driving home in a really nice foreign car, and wondered if something was up… but wow, that car is here again today? What’s going on? How do I explain this?”
Yeongsuk, with surprised rabbit eyes, joined the conversation.

Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!

- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
