“Jung Jaehoon, you damn bastard….”
Before meeting Jung Jaehoon, Taeseo heard in detail from Jaein about the accident. Although he already knew through the report and had heard from her once, it was different from back then.
Jaein stopped speaking several times. She would close her eyes and shiver in agony as painful memories surfaced. Listening to her detailed description of the situation during the accident, Taeseo could feel the fear she had experienced at that time.
Feeling sorry for Jaein, who had endured madness with her fragile body, his nostrils became stuffy. He wanted to slam Jaehoon, who had made Jaein fearful, into the ground immediately.
Even in the presence of Jung Jaehoon, who had come to find her, promising to help her with everything after finishing all the stories, Taeseo bit his teeth, restraining his anger, as he watched the guy who didn’t seem cool even if he chewed or swallowed him.
It was because he knew that the magnitude of the emotions Jaein harbored was much greater than his anger. It was up to Jaein to pour out that anger, and knowing that, Taeseo had no choice but to endure.
“I feel safe by your side, Taeseo.”
“…….”
“So, please stay by my side.”
Before going to sleep, he had to hold back his heart pounding like crazy, not being able to grasp the atmosphere when she prettily asked to be protected from the crazy stalker.
“Thanks to Taeseo, I found the courage. It must have been difficult for you alone.”
“You’re brave, Yoon Jaein.”
“Am I?”
“Yeah. Brave Yoon Jaein, you should get some sleep now.”
“I should too. I keep feeling sleepy.”
All Taeseo could do was pat her back and hold her cold hand. It seemed like nothing more than that was available when the girl he liked was going through a hard time.
Taeseo, who was being hit by falling water, lowered his head. Between the wet strands of hair, his night-light eyes shone coldly.
Scratching sounds made Jaein open her eyes. In her room, only the lamp Taeseo had given her was softly shining. With blackout curtains drawn, she, who couldn’t gauge the time, was about to reach for her phone.
Tick-tock, scratch-scratch.
Jaein got up again at the sound that came again. It was a sound that had become somewhat familiar since spending time at Taeseo’s house.
“Are you going for a walk?”
As soon as she opened the door, a whisper-like response came from the large window in the living room. Sitting quietly below the window was, as always, a dark brown cat.
“Take care.”
As soon as she opened the window, the cat went outside. After seeing off the cat that would return only after it became morning, she checked the clock; it was well past 8 in the evening.
Jaein closed the window and looked around the living room. The living room, with the alcohol fireplace lit, was warm without a trace of coldness in the floor or the air.
The bedroom and living room weren’t cold or pitch-black. Jaein, who had been looking at the warm light illuminating the darkness, felt her cheek being cupped. A smile spread on her cheek, tickled by the considerate care of her cohabitant.
“Hmm….”
It’s been almost a week since they started living in the same house. However, it was the first time Taeseo entered her room. Comforting her as she cried, he lay down on her bed with Jaein.
How much did she cry in his embrace? Taeseo, who handed her tissues as her tears subsided, sat up, supporting himself on the upper body. Jaein, who had been sniffing, checked Taeseo’s clothes dampened by her tears and rolled her lips.
“Don’t look.”
“Why?”
“… It’s embarrassing.”
“You’re beautiful.”
Thinking of the man who used to gently stroke her eyebrows and ears, she blushed up to her neck.
“I’m really not good at crying… but I keep crying in front of you, Taeseo.”
“It’s special; I like it.”
Smiling as he interpreted it the way he liked, she chuckled awkwardly. During the time he comforted her, she buried her face in his arms and stayed still. Eventually, she fell asleep like that.
“I can’t live…”
Since it turned out like this, it seemed she might be able to sleep again only in the early morning. It was fortunate that the weekend was starting from tomorrow.
Jaein, who hesitated for a moment, headed to the bathroom. As she filled the bathtub with water, she sighed involuntarily when she met her eyes redder than usual in the mirror. Perhaps because she had cried a lot, her eyes, nose, and cheeks were swollen.
“To say I’m pretty even in this state…”
Sighing along with her head, she immersed her body in hot water. As tension throughout her body loosened, thoughts of the day surfaced.
“I heard he came looking for you.”
“Jaein, I went to you as soon as I came to my senses. I…”
“If you’re still human, there should be only one reason for you to come find me. To apologize for what happened eight years ago. If not, there’s no reason for you to come find me.”
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.”
