“Because I couldn’t send you to a good place for camping. Camping is supposed to be in really nice places. With trees and the sea.”
“Unnie, there are many trees in front of our orphanage too! We can camp here as well.”
Yesul spread her arms wide as she spoke. Da Jeong couldn’t help but smile at the innocent child’s response.
“Unnie, I am hungry because I haven’t eaten anything all day. Yesul, shall we go in first?”
“Why didn’t you eat? That’s not good.”
Yesul opened her eyes wide and tightly held Da Jeong’s hand. The small hand was unexpectedly warm. Da Jeong slowly adjusted her pace to the narrow stride.
Then, a grey Starex, which they hadn’t seen before, drove into the orphanage’s playground. Da Jeong watched the car door with wary eyes.
The roughlooking men were seen through the door that was abruptly opened. They quickly got out of the car.
Three, four, five… Da Jeong, who was slowly counting, involuntarily swallowed her dry saliva. She didn’t know who they were, but they did not fit in this place filled with children.
Moreover, there was an obvious hostility in their eyes looking at the dormitory of the orphanage.
Da Jeong quickly opened her mouth to Yesul.
“Yesul, I will go in after talking to the guests, so you go in first.”
“Guests?”
“Yes. Guests.”
Even to the eyes of a child, they did not seem like guests. Yesul looked back and forth at Da Jeong and the men with anxious eyes. It seemed like she was putting a bit of strength in her small hand.
Da Jeong smiled reassuringly and pushed the child’s back. Then, she slowly walked towards the unidentified guests.
As Da Jeong approached them, a man who got out of the passenger seat quickly walked to the front of the group.
“Are you the manager here?”
The man in the suit pointed at the orphanage and spoke. The man, who seemed to be in his early forties, held his chin high and looked down.
Because of his short stature, he didn’t feel intimidating, but he seemed to think his posture was quite dignified.
“Yes, but who are you?”
“We are the SN Construction Demolition Management Team.”
Although it sounded grandiose, it meant a private demolition service. Da Jeong stood with her shoulders straight and her back straight. The only thing that could protect the children without their parents right now was her.
“I know that the scheduled demolition day is not yet here.”
“Yes. We know that. It’s not yet. But…”
The man moved his steps shakily towards the center of the playground. His rather uncomfortable gaze headed towards the scattered goods.
“Do you think you can remove all the luggage in a day? I heard there are many kids living here.”
“You are worrying unnecessarily.”
“Oh, it’s needless worry indeed, considering the land value here. If the demolition is delayed, we have to pay not a small amount of compensation.”
“……”
In short, you came to push us out because you think we won’t leave the room in time.
Da Jeong suppressed her rising anger and spoke calmly.
“Do you know what this place is for?”
“Well… if you say so, it doesn’t it make us seem like bad people. We’re just ordinary citizens living our lives.”
The man casually shrugged his shoulders as he spoke. His exaggerated eyebrow movement seemed like a plea for understanding his regretful feelings.
“This is a place where children with nowhere else to go live. We will somehow clear out by tomorrow, so please leave for today.”
“How so? How will you find a place to go?”
The man turned his head sharply, speaking in a voice as sharp as an awl.
“Wh, what…”
“Don’t tell me you’re planning to say ‘somehow,’ or something irresponsible like that? Also, that tent over there. You’re not thinking of simply settling down here, right?”
“….”
“Ma’am, this is why we come to inspect in advance. If we leave things be, it will take months and we absolutely won’t be able to start work on the designated date.”
The man kicked a box in his path as he spoke.
There was a pressure felt from her clenched fist in her pocket and her heavily furrowed face.
Should she call the police? Or should she take the children somewhere safe?
Her mind was in turmoil when he signaled the men standing behind him.
“Hey, guys. Start by getting rid of that tent. It’ll be a headache if they settle here.”
“Yes.”
“Just, wait a moment!”
She didn’t even have time to think about what to do. Da Jeong stepped in front of the men rushing forward.
“We’re not planning on settling here. Since that won’t happen, please don’t touch the children’s belongings.”
“Lady, we’re busy. We have many places to go. Please move.”
“I’ll, I’ll call the police! It’s not even the date for eviction yet, this is trespassing!”
Da Jeong glared at the man and shouted fiercely. She had pulled out what she thought was her trump card, but the man just chuckled. It seemed as though arguing with the police was an everyday occurrence for him.
They shoved Da Jeong’s shoulder and moved on. Da Jeong was pushed a few steps back by the dull impact and finally crumpled, falling to the ground.
At that moment, a sharp voice struck her ear.

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.”
