“Were you fantasizing again?”
“Wha, what…!”
“You avoided because you thought I was undressing.”
“You, you started saying weird things first…”
Seo Ah looked down and bit her lips.
Watching her, Ha Joon let out a deep sigh inside and hugged her even tighter.
It was fun to tease her because her reactions were interesting, but the problem was that she was too adorable.
“Oh, oppa, you need to get ready for work.”
Seo Ah tried to push him away but it was no use.
“Let’s stay like this a little longer.”
Seo Ah felt good, but she was also feeling restless.
Today, it was fortunate that the sun hadn’t risen yet, but yesterday he woke up so late that he ate hastily and prepared in a fluster, which worried her.
If Min Jung found out, it would be a disaster. The fact that she didn’t even prepare breakfast with her husband and overslept.
Last week, he woke up early on his own, but why was he like this yesterday and today? Was this his true self?
No, it couldn’t be. The sharp demeanor from last week suited the worldclass Kang Ha Joon…
Could it be that he was uncomfortable sleeping with me? Was it because he took some medication and fell asleep not long after tossing and turning?
Then, Ha Joon’s hand moved down her back, and it felt ominous.
Could it be he wants to do it even in the morning?
But he kept rubbing her waist and back insistently. She felt a bit of pain, and without realizing, she pressed against his chest.
Then, his languid voice reached her ears.
“Does it hurt?”
She did feel pain, but wondering if he would worry, she hesitated about what to answer. Meanwhile, he slightly let go of her body and met her eyes.
“Are you okay?”
Ha Joon asked while rubbing her waist a bit more intensely.
Seo Ah thought to herself. Was this like giving sickness and medicine…
“I’m okay…”
Seo Ah couldn’t continue speaking. That’s because he had pressed on the spot that really hurt.
Unconsciously furrowing her brows, Ha Joon started kissing her from her forehead, then all over her face, continuing with the massage.
“Indeed, you need to be just charming enough.”
At Ha Joon’s words that seemed like a monologue, Seo Ah’s body heated up.
Ha Joon himself was surprised. It was just a thought, but it slipped out of his mouth.
But it didn’t matter. He was grateful to express his feelings for her in any way possible.
But seeing her adorable blushing face, he felt like he shouldn’t have said it.
He tried to restrain himself in the morning for her sake since she liked to sleep in…
“Hmm…”
In the midst of the massage, an unexpected sound flowed out of Seo Ah’s mouth.
With an amorous expression.
In the end, Ha Joon had no choice but to get up.
If he kept holding her until morning, her waist wouldn’t survive.
((()))
After breakfast, Seo Ah prepared Ha Joon’s clothes.
It was a routine no different from last week, but it felt different.
Yesterday they woke up late, both of them were busy preparing separately so they didn’t notice, but after returning from Jeju Island, after they had shared their feelings to some extent, it felt strangely different.
Last week, they were busy hurting each other with harsh words while keeping each other in check. But today, they were exchanging natural conversation with smiles.
Seo Ah couldn’t understand him, who received help from an assistant even for these things, but now, she would feel bad if he told her not to do it. She liked being by his side in any way possible.
“Are your exams next week?”
“Yes.”
“They end the week after next, right? After that, it’s vacation.”
“Yes.”
Honey was dripping from Ha Joon’s eyes.
Her replies were curt, but her blushing face, shy tone, and the way she couldn’t stay still and fiddled with her fingers were extremely adorable. He couldn’t help but want to tease her whenever he had a chance.
“Do you have any interest in working out?”
“What…”
“Anything, that can build muscle.”
Seo Ah blushed. It reminded her of the morning when he massaged her waist.
“What about doing it together during the vacation? It’ll be a bit hard at first, but once you get used to it, you’ll be able to continue even while attending school.”
Seo Ah shyly nodded her head. She didn’t enjoy exercising, no, she hated it, but she liked everything she did with him. She had been painfully realizing that recently.
While sharing schedules with him, Ji Young’s words suddenly came to mind.
You’re coming to the Alumni Night on Friday, right? Are you coming together? Ah, you can’t come because you’re not an alumnus?
If I go, we’re going together. A married couple is one, right?
She remembered Ha Joon’s exciting reply as well.
She had said she would go every year, but was she planning to go alone, as if they would go together? Was it a place she really couldn’t go to unless she was an alumna?
Or was something happening there that she shouldn’t see herself? She may have had the chance to see what he was like when he was with his friends, so she plucked up the courage to open her mouth.
“Um… are you going to the alumni night on Friday?”
“Why?”
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…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. 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…
