“What’s up, Anchor Yoon? Why are you so pretty today?”
Everyone passing by the newsroom said that one word each.
Early in the morning, on her way to work, Wooyeon confidently wore the chiffon dress she had bought in Singapore.
She used to pursue comfortable attire until she stopped by the dressing room to put on her suit, so she frowned because she looked unnecessarily sophisticated.
That was the moment.
Seeing Wooyeon entering the anchor room, Woosik, who had just finished the morning news, couldn’t close his mouth.
“Huh? Huh?”
“What.”
“Senior, the atmosphere has changed. Did something happen over the weekend?”
Wooyeon sat in front of her desk and turned on the monitor. Instead of thanking Woosik, who used to deliver coffee as before, she expressed her gratitude with her eyes and also brought out a newspaper.
“Nothing happened. I just went to the department store on the weekend, and the clerk gave me a look, so I picked whatever.”
“Was there a guy you liked next to you?”
Cough, cough.
Drinking coffee, she coughed severely at Woosik’s words.
“What do you mean?”
“Senior, you wouldn’t be aware of the clerk’s attitude. A person who didn’t care about the eyes of the potential presidential candidate during the interview, why would she care about the eyes of the clerk?”
“…”
“Senior, you’re really strange today, right? No way.”
“Well, what do you mean?”
“I’m blocking it in advance because I’m worried you might confess again. Are you pretending to have a man nearby so that I can’t come near you?”
“Hey.”
“Okay. Okay. I’ve cut off my feelings for you, senior, so don’t misunderstand from now on. I went on a blind date on the weekend too.”
At Woosik’s words that he met another woman on the weekend, Wooyeon showed relief.
She sometimes felt uneasy, as if she was walking a path similar to herself, who was cautious of new people and didn’t meet women well.
“Well done.”
“I didn’t do it to get a compliment from you, senior.”
“So, how was it? Was it okay?”
Woosik nodded lightly. It was a reaction that didn’t dislike it.
“I applied for the after. I was worried that it might be a bit burdensome because I’m an anchor, but luckily it wasn’t like that.”
“Yeah. That’s good.”
“Seniors also date. Don’t get involved in scandals like last time, being caught up with some strange rookie actor.”
“…”
“There’s no sin in an anchor falling in love.”
Leaving only those words, Woosik disappeared into the editing room. He always seemed to read people’s minds once in a while.
Wooyeon scratched near her lips.
Until now, this has been UBC News Sider, Yoon Wooyeon.
As she pulled out her earphones in the studio, Director Song raised his hand lightly from afar.
It meant that he had something to say, so she shouldn’t leave for home immediately and should visit the director’s office.
But when she visited the director’s office, he wasn’t there. She thought he might have some business for a moment, but Wooyeon’s gaze turned to the documents spread out on his desk.
Jangkyung Group, Chairman Jo Se-hoon, Kim Ha-yoon, Jo In-young.
It was the document that was secretly investigated last time.
Suddenly, she felt breathless.
At that moment, there didn’t seem to be any further progress, but it felt like my already exposed secret, which would eventually be revealed to the world, was now laid bare, making my heart tighten. Just before my tightly pursed lips were about to burst, the door creaked open, and Director Song entered.
“Why are you standing like that? Sit.”
“……Yes.”
“Anchor Yoon, you need to go to the United States next week.”
“…….?”
“Anchor Yoon?”
Her absent-mindedness that she had forgotten to think about finally returned. Wooyeon composed herself, regulated her breathing, and casually looked at Director Song.
“Why to the United States?”
“An interview with athlete Shin Jaeyoung has been scheduled.”
“Oh.”
“Instead of just talking about it, go there in person. I have to bring you to get the interview.”
Wooyeon scratched her forehead.
He is a young player with outstanding skills, joining a prestigious American team, who became a star player in Korea as well due to his clear facial features and excellent fan service. He had already resolved his military exemption, and he was even selected as the MVP in the last Olympics.
The problem was that, despite his skill, his personality was not that great, and his private life was quite messy. Although it hadn’t been reported in the media yet, as the player was being heavily protected by the club, Wooyeon’s insides still bubbled up when thinking about the last interview.
“Just find someone else…”
“No. Absolutely not.”
“Then…”
“Do you know how well Shin Jaeyoung is doing right now?”
Tap-tap, right at that moment, with a brief knock, the head of the newsroom entered the director’s office.
After the awkward atmosphere with Taekyung, fortunately, it seemed that the head of the newsroom no longer assigned just any man to Wooyeon.
However, he was still not a comfortable person for her.
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
