“What time is the flight tomorrow?”
Jiwu asked, watching Sarang pack her travel bag. Finally, the summer vacation begins tomorrow. Unlike herself, who has an afternoon flight, Sarang seemed curious about when she would leave since she mentioned going out early in the morning.
“At 6 o’clock.”
“Are you meeting Dohan at the airport?”
“No. He said he would bring the car to my house.”
“Then it should be more convenient.”
Watching Sarang, who neatly packed her clothes and cosmetics into the bag, Jiwu narrowed her eyes as she observed her taking out underwear from the closet.
Last week, when they were shopping at the department store, Sarang reluctantly didn’t buy couple underwear. The reason was that she thought it would be too embarrassing to wear.
“I told you to buy couple underwear back then.”
Sarang shook her head with a regretful voice.
“You did well not to buy it. What if it becomes awkward?”
“It won’t be awkward. The atmosphere might even get better.”
“You wear a lot and set the mood. I’ll think about it on the next vacation.”
Already, it was her first trip with her boyfriend, and there were many things to take care of. She didn’t have the luxury to prepare matching underwear for a couple.
After finishing organizing her bag, Sarang left it outside the door for easy carrying tomorrow and flopped onto the bed.
Then, she suddenly became curious about Jiwu.
“So, what about Jeong Yoonjae?”
“What about him?”
When Sarang didn’t respond to her suggestion to set the mood, Jiwu replied grumpily.
“Between tearing and nibbling, which preference does he have?”
Understanding her words at last, Jiwu burst into a stifled laughter.
Seeing that she remembered it properly, Sarang thought it was embarrassing but listened to her.
“I can’t tell you my boyfriend’s preferences. Let’s share our experiences after the vacation is over.”
“I didn’t buy it, so what experience is there to share?”
“Anyway.”
Sarang lightly laughed off Jiwu’s inexplicable words, not knowing what would happen to her tomorrow night.
“Since I might not wake up early in the morning, I’ll say goodbye now. Have a good trip. Enjoy your vacation to the fullest, and have a lively and exciting holiday.”
Although she didn’t understand why ‘lively’ was added, Sarang also bid farewell to Jiwu.
“Yeah, you too. Fight reasonably with Yoonjae.”
“Sure, I will. Sleep well.”
Jiwu turned off the light and left the room for Sarang, who had gone to bed early.
In the kitchen, Yoonjae was sitting at the dining table, waiting for her. Since Sarang went to bed without having dinner, the two ended up having a meal together.
“Shall we eat out? Sarang is sleeping.”
“I’m too lazy to go out. Let’s just have instant noodles.”
“Okay. I’ll boil them, so just sit there.”
While Yoonjae got up to get water in the pot, Jiwu sat in the chair. Then, she got up again and sneaked into her own room.
After a while, carrying something, she came out and quietly walked to Sarang’s room.
As she reached the door, Jiwu sat down, opened Sarang’s travel bag, and checked inside.
And searching for the pouch, she inserted the underwear inside it among the other clothes and put it back into her hand.
It was a specially prepared gift for a friend going on her first trip with her boyfriend.
When Jiwu smiled proudly, a large shadow approached her.
“What are you doing?”
“Surprise!”
Jiwu, who was about to shout, brushed off her startled chest, which almost screamed when she was startled.
“What are you doing there?”
Yoonjae glanced at the bag she had just touched.
“Oh, nothing.”
“That’s Sarang’s bag.”
When Yoonjae found it strange, Jiwu quickly closed the bag and stood up.
“I put one gift inside.”
“Give it to her directly. Why are you acting like a cat burglar?”
“It’s a surprise gift.”
“Surprise?”
“Yeah, that’s right. You don’t need to know.”
“That makes me even more curious. If you don’t tell me, Sarang will wake me up to check, right?”
When Yoonjae was about to enter the room, Jiwu stopped him.
“You’ll see tomorrow too, so why are you curious?”
“How do I look at Sarang’s gift?”
“I bought the same thing twice, so you’ll see it tomorrow.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Hurry up and eat ramen. It’s all cooked.”
Yoonjae pushed Jiwu toward the kitchen while grumbling about the incomprehensible words. However, he still looked back at Sarang’s bag.
“What on earth am I going to see tomorrow?”
Yoonjae laughed, unable to understand the completely incomprehensible words. He didn’t even know that tomorrow would be the day to check whether his taste was in his hands or mouth.
Jeju’s blue sky welcomed the lovers on vacation.
“Wow! The weather is nice.”
Sarang rolled down the window and enjoyed the breeze from the front passenger seat of the rental car.
Maybe it was because of her mood, the air in Seoul was clearly different. It somehow felt like the refreshing scent of tangerines tickled her nose.
It also seemed like the fragrance of the waves from the sea far away was being transmitted.
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…”

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…
