“Seo Ah is more important than that piece of work.”
Was it genuine? Or was it to win the fight against Min Jung? At that moment, when Seo Ah was looking intently at Ha Joon to gauge his intentions, sparks flew.
“Se Ah, how can you say such a thing in my presence?”
However, Tae Hyuk and Min Jun, who had been silently listening, stepped forward.
“Why would Ji Yeong donate the piece of work?”
“Yes, indeed!”
“Was it urgent? Was it something that needed to be done right away?”
“No, not exactly… that wasn’t the case…”
“It’s not like that, but you’re saying we should work that hard even on our honeymoon? You need to take breaks, brother.”
“Her mind might change. She might end up donating it to DK…”
“The suggestion to take a honeymoon trip came from your mother. I felt like I was under surveillance, with every little thing being broadcasted to the media. How can I meet another woman leaving Seo Ah alone?”
Upon hearing Ha Joon’s final words, Min Jung blushed. His subsequent statement left her with no choice but to drop the subject.
“The purpose of the donation is to promote the gallery. Don’t worry, those who are curious will come first.”
She knew this, but the fact that all three men were only interested in Seo Ah made her want to find a way to retaliate.
Dealing with Ha Joon alone was tough, but when all three men attacked at once, she had no choice but to wait for the next opportunity.
((()))
Min Jun volunteered to take Ha Joon and Seo Ah home.
While Seo Ah went to the restroom for a moment, Min Jun and Ha Joon were left alone.
“Brother, loosen up. Seo Ah is scared.”
Ha Joon’s brow furrowed further, he was already sensitive due to Min Jung.
“I thought you’d changed after seeing the article’s photo, but it was all an act? Your acting has improved a lot. I didn’t even recognize you. Just now too…”
Min Jun, who was surprised that he openly sided with Seo Ah in front of Min Jung, couldn’t finish his sentence.
“Not Seo Ah, but sisterinlaw.”
Ha Joon warned him solemnly with a stern expression.
Other people might find it chilling, but Min Jun was used to it and didn’t care.
“Understood. I’ll be careful when other people are around, so don’t worry.”
“You should also be careful in front of our parents. If you’re too casual, Seo Ah will get blamed.”
“I’ll handle that myself, so don’t change the subject. Seo Ah may seem strong on the outside, but she’s very fragile, so be gentle with her.”
‘Our Seo Ah’ again. Ha Joon let out a deep sigh internally before he spoke.
“Stay out of our marital affairs.”
He emphasized the words ‘our marital affairs’.
He was grateful to Min Jun for comforting Seo Ah when they were younger, and for siding with her in front of Min Jung just now, but he wished he would draw a clear line.
If Min Jung found out, the backlash would be directed at Seo Ah.
“I say this not only because I worry about Seo Ah, but also for you.”
For me? Did he notice that I liked Seo Ah from the beginning? I didn’t give any hint, did I? As question marks floated in Ha Joon’s mind, Seo Ah arrived.
“Are you back?”
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Min Jun saw Seo Ah in the rearview mirror and gave a bright smile.
Then, Seo Ah also gave a bright smile.
Seeing this, Ha Joon flinched and turned his gaze out the window.
((()))
After arriving home, Seo Ah noticed Ha Joon’s mood hadn’t improved, and she felt uncomfortable.
She worried that her suggestion to go to his family home might have ruined his mood.
Although he stood up for her every time Min Jung said something, she felt it was not for her sake, but rather because he didn’t want to lose to Min Jung.
If Min Jung liked her, Ha Joon wouldn’t have been stressed out,
Shortly after, Seo Ah plucked up the courage to approach him. She had brought a tangerine chocolate from Jeju Island, hoping the sweet treat would lift his spirits.
“Do you… want to try this?”
Ha Joon’s heart clenched again. He felt breathless.
“…Leave it there.”
Pointing at the table, Ha Joon spoke and Seo Ah, relieved that he didn’t reject it, left the chocolate on the table.
“Go wash up. I’ll wash up downstairs.”
((()))
Much later, after washing up first, Seo Ah was surprised to see that the chocolate she left on the table was gone.
Did he eat it? Surely he didn’t throw it away?
She immediately checked the trash can, but there was no trace of it. He didn’t throw it away, nor was there any sign of him eating it.
Did he dislike chocolates? He did look unhappy when she bought the chocolate,
Did that day 6 years ago bother Ha Joon as well?
Seo Ah hadn’t forgotten about that day either. It was neither okay nor indifferent.
She couldn’t blame Ha Joon, she knew she had been lacking then.
Now, she thought that his recent kindness may be simply because she had become someone who fits him.
Back then, she disliked even the idea of talking to him, but now it was different.
Just like Ji Young mixes words out of necessity, she was doing the same now.
She remembered what Ha Joon had said to Min Jung earlier.
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.”
