“Hello.”
“Hi.”
Sa Rang bowed her head first and Do Han accepted the greeting.
It just had to be the crossroads between the engineering and physical education departments.
From here, Sa Rang had to say goodbye to Yoon Jae and walk with Do Han to the engineering department.
She took off the coat she was wearing on her shoulder and returned it to Yoon Jae.
“I wore it well. Let’s see each other next week.”
“Sure. Eat and rest well this weekend.”
“Okay.”
After exchanging greetings, they each moved in their own directions.
Throughout the walk with Do Han, Sa Rang felt so awkward she thought she might die.
She had resolved countless times over the past few days to treat him as usual, but when she faced him, she was at a loss for what to say.
Fortunately, he broke the silence first.
“You said you were sick.”
Sa Rang peeked at Do Han.
Her face was like that of a sinner, and she couldn’t stay still.
“I wasn’t sick because of you, senior.”
She meant that he didn’t need to feel guilty, but he remained silent.
“I was worried you might feel sorry for rejecting my confession. They say that the person who got hit can sleep with his legs stretched out, but the person who hit him can’t.”
“If I’m the one who hit you, then I was right to be sick because of me.”
Surprised, Sa Rang bit her lip.
She regretted having brought up unnecessary words and wished she had just stayed quiet.
“It was cold that day, wasn’t it? They say many people catch a cold in April. So it’s not your fault, senior.”
Sa Rang emphasized again.
Do Han stared straight at her.
“……Why?”
Feeling burdened by his piercing gaze, Sa Rang avoided his eyes.
After confessing and being rejected, it was her turn to give up, but her heart pounded unjustly at his single glance.
“Why do you call me senior again?”
“What?”
“You said oppa.”
After blinking a few times, Sa Rang’s face turned bright red.
When confessing, saying ‘I like you, senior’ made her feel a distance, so she unknowingly called him oppa.
It had come out naturally then, but after returning to reality, it felt embarrassing to say.
Of course, she calls her senior in the fourth year oppa, but for some reason, it wasn’t easy with Do Han.
Sa Rang’s mind went blank as to what to respond.
Luckily, they had reached the front of the engineering department and a way to part with him appeared.
“I have to go this way. Take care then.”
Sa Rang hurriedly left the place, and Do Han watched her back until the end.
When he saw Sa Rang with Yoon Jae a while ago, he was hit with an indescribable emotion.
At first, he was glad to see her, and her pale face made him feel sorry.
Next, he became angry at the sight of her smiling at Yoon Jae.
Finally, when he saw another man’s clothes draped over her shoulder, something hot surged up in his chest as if it was about to burst.
It was a funny thing.
While he told her to like someone else, he feared she might actually come to like another man. What could this scary feeling be?
Saying they matched well with Jung Yoon Jae, while his anger was boiling at the sight of the two sweet people, what was this sentiment?
For someone who had never been sincere to anyone.
How should he take this feeling of heat rising in his chest every time he sees Sa Rang, as if he knew what that emotion was?
He let out a small sigh and murmured softly.
“The one who got hit was me.”
He didn’t know when, but she had been pounding on his heart.
Knowing he was not qualified, he wanted to open the door.
((())) ((())) ((()))
Tae Hoon finished his class and left the lecture room with Do Han.
“Let’s go eat dinner. I’ll buy.”
“Next time.”
Because of Sa Rang who was wearing Yoon Jae’s clothes, Do Han was not in the mood and had no appetite.
He only wanted to sleep rather than having a meal.
“Can’t help it if you don’t want to. Then I have to make Sa Rang buy it today.”
“I’ll go.”
“What?”
“I said I’m going too.”
“What’s with the sudden change?”
Tae Hoon, who was about to call Ji Woo and tell her to come out with Sa Rang, stopped and frowned.
It was an unfitting whim.
“We should go to the new place in front of the school. They say the pasta there is good.”
“Let’s go somewhere else.”
“Why. They say it has a good atmosphere.”
“Go there with Kang Ji Woo later.”
“Then how about the pork belly place next door?”
“It’s noisy there.”
“What do you want to eat then.”
Seeing him refuse everything he said, it was clear there was something specific he wanted to eat.
He wondered how expensive it was going to be to satisfy his appetite.
“Let’s go in,” Tae Hoon rolled his eyes.
“Beef bone soup.”
“Why beef bone soup?”
“Just because.”
Do Han wanted to give Sa Rang, who was suffering from the flu, some nutritious food.
Seeing her face pale in just a few days, he wanted to buy her a meal, but he was in no position to do so.
It was awkward to bestow such kindness as a senior.
He couldn’t casually be kind to her, knowing she liked him.
Amidst all this, it was fortunate that the four of them had a chance to meet together.
Tae Hoon, not liking the menu, furrowed his eyebrows but soon nodded his head.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
