Watching Phillip cry and wail on the spot, removing the vulgar language, left Hyeju speechless.
Her tightly clenched fist trembled.
“Have you reported it to the police?”
“They said they’d kill me if I reported it. Those bastards weren’t just saying it. I was accosted for over an hour on my way to the police station today.”
Phillip crawled towards Hyeju and clung to her legs.
Juwon’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Nuna, please save me. I won’t even mention asking for money. I have some dignity too.”
Such noble words don’t suit you. Get a grip.
“Just let me stay at your place for a few days. While staying with you, I’ll find a job and somehow pay off the debt. If I work hard and show it, they won’t be so reckless on their end either. I’ll stay at your place for just one month, then leave as soon as I get my paycheck. Please help me one last time, uhng…”
Hyeju didn’t even look at Phillip, who was crying and wiping away tears.
Seeing the bruised face, she felt her heart softening.
Closing my eyes to organize my thoughts, a sigh escaped from my lips.
“Sigh, what to do with this mess, seriously.”
The easiest solution was to contact Miock. If it were Miock, she would pay off Phillip’s debt, whether he lived or died.
But Hyeju didn’t want that.
A few days ago, when she talked to Sutcheol on the phone, she heard that the number of customers had decreased lately, causing business at the store to suffer. Because of this, they had to let go of the employee they had and Miock and Sutcheol were struggling to manage the store by themselves.
In such a situation, Hyeju couldn’t burden them with Phillip’s problems.
“Fine. Come into my house.”
“…Really?”
“But there are conditions.”
Phillip stopped crying and looked at Hyeju.
“You have to repay the money you borrowed with your own efforts. Don’t think about taking advantage of Miock, don’t even mention raiding my bank account. If you promise to earn and pay back, I’ll let you live with me for a month.”
“I promise! I’ll work hard and repay it, even if I have to do manual labor like a cow or work like a dog!”
“Get a job by the end of this week, no matter what.”
“Of course! I’ll work like a slave and earn like a dog!”
“If you break the promise, I won’t see you again.”
Nod, nod.
Phillip, who encountered a savior, nodded his head frantically.
At that moment.
“Wait.”
Juwon, who had been observing the situation from a distance, pointed at Phillip with a puzzled expression.
“You’re going to live with him?”
Ah, my brother hasn’t left yet.
Hyeju, who had forgotten that Juwon was there while being overwhelmed by Phillip’s appearance, looked at him belatedly.
Hm.
Then, unknowingly, she flinched.
Juwon’s eyes were blazing.
[Star Icon]One hour later.
“Wow, Hyung’s house is really nice! It’s like a palace. How many square meters is this? 70 square meters? 80 square meters? Hehe, does it exceed 100 square meters?”
Listening to Phillip’s voice whining beside him, Juwon belatedly felt a sense of reality.
‘Damn it, Kang Juwon, what the hell did you do?’
Driven by the single-minded determination not to let a man sleep at Hyeju’s place, Phillip ended up being brought into her home.
…Crazy.
Juwon knew early on that Phillip was something like Hyeju’s little brother.
He knew that he had dropped out of college as a prospective rapper and was fooling around. He was also well aware that he occasionally swindled allowance money from Hyeju.
In summary, he was the type that Juwon hated the most.
Despite that, there were two reasons why he allowed Phillip into the house.
[Dash] Oh, the situation was urgent. Looking at this guy’s pathetic state, I thought something big might happen if I didn’t let him stay. [Dash] Are you a sucker? [Dash] …Well, I’ve been trapped by him for quite a while.
What can I say? If my girl says he’s a sucker.
As someone who knew Hyeju’s personality well enough to know she wouldn’t turn Phillip away, Juwon couldn’t outright tell her to kick him out.
The second reason was indirectly receiving help from Phillip.
When Hyeju went to find the Gwinyeo shrine in Yangpyeong, she heard that Phillip accompanied her.
At that time, after hearing that if Phillip hadn’t accompanied her, something big might have happened, Juwon had once tried to meet him and express gratitude.
“If it weren’t for that incident, I wouldn’t have cared whether he froze to death on the street with not even a twitch of my eyebrow.”
No, if Hyeju’s house was just a two-room space, she wouldn’t have brought Phillip into her home in the first place.
Juwon rubbed his throbbing head, gulping down cold water.
“You can use the guest room over there.”
“Oh, there’s a guest room? Yes, that’s great!”
“The bathroom is there too. Don’t touch the one in the living room.”
“Of course. I’m a guy with that much decency.”
If he could talk.
With eyes widening like a rabbit that discovered a carrot patch, looking around here and there, Phillip seemed to have lost the peaceful days.
‘Maybe this is the biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my life.’
Honestly, the easiest thing for Juwon would be to just pay off Phillip’s money.
And more. If he wanted, he could even find him a place to live.
As Mrs. Sunwoo Yeon mentioned before, handling things with money was the easiest for him, and considering him as part of Hyeju’s family, spending that amount of money didn’t feel wasteful.
The reason he didn’t do that was because he knew Hyeju didn’t want that.
‘It would be more than delightful for someone who hesitates to get married due to burden, to receive money. It’s fortunate as long as things don’t get more complicated.’
After intense contemplation, what he ultimately chose was to make a mess.
As he uttered those words, he felt hives breaking out all over his body.
No, seriously, they broke out.
“Hyung, do you happen to have anti-hair loss shampoo in the bathroom? I’ve been doing frequent hair coloring lately, and my hair is falling out a bit, hehe.”
Watching Phillip innocently ask, Juwon clenched his fist.
…Should I kill him, or should I let him live?
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.”
