What worried him the most was, just before the establishment of the joint venture with Woo Bang Airlines, Taekyung was absent for a long time. Even this, Director Han handled the work cleanly and without a hitch.
Smiling without much expression, Taekyung handed over the report.
“It seems I’m not needed.”
“President, I couldn’t say that…”
“I’m joking. If I don’t run, Director Han will sigh, right?”
“I’m fine.”
“You visited Jae-hee again, didn’t you?”
“…”
He probably did. In addition to the daily visits to the hospital twice a day, what he did without missing a day was probably going to see Jae-hee.
Taekyung smiled meaninglessly while handing over the spoon.
“I guess I’m not needed anymore.”
Knowing better than anyone how cruel and difficult it is to forget someone, Taekyung comforted Director Han silently. Taekyung lightly tapped his shoulders twice.
“Jae-hee won’t be lonely.”
“…”
Reading the director’s diminishing words, Taekyung quickly changed the topic.
“Chairman Cho attempted suicide in prison.”
“Yes. He received treatment at a nearby hospital and returned to prison.”
“They say he’s become somewhat crazy.”
The director nodded as if confirming the fact. Taekyung followed suit and nodded.
“How is Kim Ha-yoon?”
“She continues to receive treatment at the hospital, and now she has more time to return to normal than before because the medication has weakened a lot.”
“Thank goodness.”
“Yes. But it seems challenging for Jang Gyeong to take over the business again. There are rumors that immediate family members are already moving to take that position.”
“Anywhere is the same.”
It was no different from a famous mountain.
People who liked to cling to others like parasites while Taekyung was lying down, living by attaching themselves like parasites, grabbed Cha Woo-gang’s hand and pledged loyalty to him.
Taekyung thought it worked out well. Now, it had become clear who to filter out and who to join hands with.
There were far too many reasons to fully recover his body. Among them, Yoon Woo-yeon occupied the largest part.
When he found her injured in the midst of a battlefield like the war in Syria, Taekyung truly experienced the feeling of his life being torn apart.
Perhaps the fear of losing her, the thought that Yoon Woo-yeon shouldn’t be hurt even with one finger. At that time, she was his world, the universe, everything.
It was still the same now.
To ensure that she could live peacefully without loneliness for a lifetime, he had to become stronger than now.
Because I’m the only man who can make my woman laugh.
Because only I can do it.
He sent Director Han away and called Woo-yeon back.
“President, it’s time for rehabilitation exercises.”
Whenever he saw her, it was time to eat, exercise, and sleep. Although Yoon Woo-yeon only threw nagging remarks, it didn’t matter.
Where Yoon Woo-yeon was, here was a real paradise.
A place you can’t go even if you die.
A place you can only see if you’re alive. So, he had to live longer.
He followed silently behind Woo-yeon.
Despite the doctor’s recommendation to stay a little longer at the hospital, on the morning of the tenth day after waking up, Taekyung hurriedly left the hospital.
It was almost exhausting to comply with the doctor’s words, and he thought about giving in, but he couldn’t bear the frustrating hospital life any longer. Taekyung persuaded Woo-yeon.
He promised to come to the hospital every day until the doctor said there was no need to come anymore.
Getting into the back seat of the car driven by Director Han, Woo-yeon felt a constant low pressure.
Knowing that Taekyung was concerned about her, he silently embraced her shoulders.
“Don’t worry about Yoon Woo-yeon.”
“Of course.”
“So, stop making that face and say something to me.”
As she leaned against his shoulder in silence, about to bury her face, she looked up in shock. Taekyung glanced at Director Han, who was quietly driving, and shot a glance at Woo-yeon.
“Is now the time to say that?”
“Ms. Yoon Woo-yeon.”
“Why?”
“Didn’t you agree to listen to me last time? You cried, grabbed my patient gown, and promised to listen to me.”
“…”
“I distinctly remember saying that you would listen to me from now on.”
Woo-yeon blushed, making her look adorable, and Taekyung couldn’t bear it. He put her back in his arms and gently tickled her hair.
He intended not to touch her in the car for a while, thinking about Director Han. However, he wasn’t sure how long he could endure.
Except for lightly matching words during the time at the hospital, this fierce woman, who wouldn’t allow a kiss, had to be taught how patient I was as a man.
Looking out the window, he tightly held Woo-yeon’s nape.
The ceiling looked higher than usual from the bed today.
Woo-yeon wiped the sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand.
“Ah…”
If it was going to be like this, they shouldn’t have fought that day. Seeing Taekyung, who seemed more challenging today than after two rounds of intimacy, Woo-yeon was amazed.
“Isn’t it tough?”
“I’m not tired.”
“Hmm.”
The doctor had firmly emphasized that excessive sexual activity was undoubtedly not good. So, she didn’t let him touch her more than a light kiss at the hospital.
The rehabilitation professor also said that Taekyung’s body seemed to have good recovery and quickly returned to normal, but she didn’t expect it to be this much.
Who knows.
Who knows that the man with that ominous expression is hiding the fact that he has been lying in the hospital for quite a long time.
Yesterday, and therefore, it was decided not to come to the hospital anymore. The attending physician said that he would come for a check-up once a month and gradually reduce the frequency to every six months or a year.
He explained that it was because of his innate physical ability. All test values were stable, and the amount of food intake had almost returned to what it used to be.
However, sometimes Woo-yeon felt scared. Despite knowing that he was such a healthy man, she was afraid that he might fall into a deep sleep again one day.
Taekyung approached and hugged Woo-yeon as if he had read her face, which showed a bewildering expression and then darkened again.
“There’s nothing to worry about. So let’s throw that thought in the trash.”
It seems like he can read everything inside me. Woo-yeon let out a disappointed laugh.
“Can you make a promise?”
“Any promise.”
“Say you’ll be by my side for the rest of your life.”
“I’ll be by Yoon Woo-yeon’s side for the rest of my life.”
“Whether it rains or snows.”
Taekyung laughed and repeated those words.
“Whether it rains or snows. Until your head turns gray and your roots wither away.”
The two interlocked their pinkies and pressed their palms against each other.
It would have been enough if it ended there, but he flipped Woo-yeon over.
As if stamping her entire body, he left his mark on her trembling body.
Everywhere, as if leaving a clear promise in every sense. He was more serious than ever.
Those were the days.
Days filled with intense gazes and passionate gestures on the bed, where they loved each other so much that they couldn’t live without.
Those were the days.
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?!
