“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
Thud, thud, thud, thud.
Bang!
The sound of the door closing with force, as Jae In sprinted away, was enough to shake the living room.
Do Hyuk remained sprawled on the floor, unmoving, his gaze fixed on the ceiling.
The moment Jae In’s lips covered his, everything else ceased to exist.
What was somewhat fortunate was that Do Hyuk’s bathrobe loosely covered his lower body, just barely.
All of this because of a phone call from Na Min Woo, and he momentarily let jealousy blind him.
As the situation unfolded in a completely unexpected direction, Do Hyuk, too, found himself bewildered.
Was this a dream?
Do Hyuk couldn’t believe the fact that he had kissed Jae In.
Jae In’s lips were far softer and sweeter than he had ever imagined.
If only he could touch those warm and moist lips again, he felt like he would willingly do anything.
“Why didn’t I just hug her tightly? And those lips… ”
Jae In, who had been pressed tightly between two layers of bathrobe, was in his thoughts.
Just imagining holding her tightly made Do Hyuk feel ecstatic.
For a brief moment, he experienced a dizzying sense of ecstasy.
Regret, belated and overwhelming, washed over him.
“What a fool I am! I had the girl I liked so close, and I couldn’t even say a proper word.”
He couldn’t help but burst into bitter laughter at his own foolishness, becoming the “Fool Limited to Seo Jae In.”
Frustrated with himself for feeling regret, Do Hyuk suddenly tapped his own cheeks with both hands.
“Get a grip! Have you forgotten what Director Kim said?”
Two days ago.
When Do Hyuk confided his concerns about Jae In, Seong Joon had given him two pieces of advice.
First, Do Hyuk should leverage his biggest advantage, his shining good looks.
Second, he should play hard to get.
“If adapting to Seo Jae In’s pace hasn’t been effective, it’s time to push her away.”
“How should I do that?”
“From now on, act indifferent. If the person who thought you were interested suddenly does a 180-degree turn, they are more likely to feel regret and be concerned. And if you actively showcase your outstanding looks, Seo Jae In will definitely be drawn to you, no doubt about it.”
From Seong Joon’s confident expression, Do Hyuk felt certain, “This is it!”
So, without further ado, he put the plan into action.
When Jae In went to meet Gyu Min, she pretended to be indifferent and deliberately averted her gaze from him whenever they were together, treating him in a strictly professional manner.
And then, tonight.
Do Hyuk had pushed his way into Jae In’s mind, showcasing his dangerously charming masculinity, his skin slightly damp.
He had briefly lost his senses due to Na Min Woo, turning into a babbling fool. But surprisingly, the phone call had turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
Do Hyuk remembered Jae In, who had blushed and stared at him dumbfoundedly before he made his escape.
“Did the new strategy work a bit?”
He chuckled, his face turning slightly red.
“But anyway, I can’t just lie here forever.”
“Ugh!”
As he tried to get up slowly, Do Hyuk’s back seared with pain, and he collapsed back onto the floor, feeling as if his spine was splitting.
It was probably because of the impact when he fell backward that his whole body ached.
It would be nice if someone could lend a helping hand.
Unfortunately, Jae In, who had run away in surprise, showed no sign of coming out of the room.
Do Hyuk stared blankly at his empty hands, where her cell phone had disappeared.
Considering how hard Jae In had been trying to get her hands on the phone, she was probably talking to Na Min Woo by now.
“Is not being able to answer Na Min Woo’s call bothering her that much? Did they talk every night until now?”
He didn’t take the claim that they were just close junior and senior students at face value.
But he hadn’t thought that they would be in contact even late at night.
Do Hyuk calmed down and tried to rationalize the current situation, suppressing the sudden surge of jealousy.
“Yeah, that’s right. It’s certain that there’s nothing going on between me and Na Min Woo. Whether it’s just a mutual liking phase or whatever, it doesn’t matter. There’s no chance I’ll lose Seo Jae In.”
Absolutely! Absolutely!
Moreover, he was actually grateful now.
Thanks to Na Min Woo’s call, he didn’t kiss Jae In.
Strictly speaking, it was a contact accident due to a mistake.
Anyway, the conclusion is a kiss.
Yes, a kiss!
A relaxed smile of a winner appeared on Do Hyuk’s face.
“A phone call? Who cares about that! I kissed Seo Jae In, that’s what matters!”
Suddenly, Do Hyuk was filled with energy throughout his body.
With that momentum, he quickly got up from his seat and moved his neck left and right, loosening his body. Joints all over his body made cracking sounds.
His back was still sore, but somehow he felt much lighter.
Do Hyuk glanced in the direction where Jae In had disappeared and raised one corner of his mouth slightly.
“Seo Jae In, if you stole my lips, you have to take responsibility, right?”
The next day, Monday,
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.”
