As her voice continued, Taejun, who had risen from his seat, had gradually closed the distance, sitting close and leaning in. Startled, Soeun blocked the approaching thick arm.
“No. I haven’t finished talking yet.”
“I know. Go on. I’ll listen to everything.”
A beautiful woman saying such beautiful words, I naturally couldn’t resist.
As Taejun pressed his waist against hers, he embraced her. There were words left to say, but he couldn’t cover her lips; he wanted to hold them somewhere and soothe the long thirst.
“So, was that why you were so surprised when I drank? Is that why I slept at our house that day?”
“…….”
“And you care so much about my health? You don’t let me stay long at the swimming pool?”
Let her talk; I won’t say anything. I’m busy.
Taejun’s lips grazed her jawline, earlobe, and neck, leaving kisses wherever he pleased, as if he wanted his feelings to be conveyed through his skin.
“You even make me meals?”
“…….”
“And that too… you don’t do it?”
“I regret that. Definitely.”
He, who was casually marking her body with the traces of his lips, suddenly raised his head and answered seriously.
“I won’t disappoint you in the future. I promise.”
“It’s a selective answer.”
“Yeah.”
With a quick acknowledgment, this time he kissed her lips. As she released the tension, bursting the breath she had been holding, Taejun, too, was finally relieved. He wanted to give her everything she accepted. If he could put his heart into her, he wanted to.
“I’ve never cared about someone like this before.”
“…….”
“Just because, you’re special.”
You’re special. Because my life has reached a point where I can’t let you go.
“Someday, Ms. Han Soeun, you might see me in a vulnerable state. Because I am weak.”
Taejun breathed carefully and confessed sincerely, as if extracting it. Acknowledging one’s own limits was a blow to pride and a shameful thing, so he didn’t want to show this side to anyone other than Han Soeun.
So I let myself down.
“Wow. That’s not true.”
Soeun, who had been silently listening, let out a snort as if saying it was absurd.
“How can you consider yourself weak?”
“I’m the subordinate, so of course, I’m weak.”
“Director is how a subordinate should be, not the superior.”
“How can I be the superior? The one who doesn’t contact is the superior.”
“…….”
“The one who can choose is the superior.”
“Wow, what a point.”
“Yeah.”
Taejun quickly admitted Soeun’s taunt.
Taejun couldn’t always easily pass over and choose everything. Of course, Soeun’s words might be right in terms of work. However, the relationship with Soeun was different from everything else he was involved in. It was always challenging and perplexing.
Having everything but lacking one thing. It was not at that level. That one thing could now shake his entirety at any moment.
Just looking at what happened today.
I, like a dog waiting for its owner to return, wandered around in front of that door all day long. Excited by the fact that you could come find me anytime, and fearful that you could leave me anytime.
That’s my destiny. I’ll probably be like this all the time.
“So, don’t hate me. I’ll be around for a long time.”
Maybe about 20 years. If you hurt me.
Soeun, who didn’t know his inner thoughts, smiled innocently and asked.
“Is there anything else you’re hiding from me?”
“Yeah.”
“Really nothing?”
“Nothing. Really.”
“Are you sure?”
“Really.”
To Soeun, who kept asking as if interrogating, Taejun answered as casually as possible.
“What else do I have to hide from Han Soeun?”
There was no need to mention the one secret that I would keep forever. Because I would keep it forever.
But lying to those pretty eyes and continuing to lie felt somehow guilty, so Taejun quickly changed the subject.
“When you fully recover, is there anything you want to do?”
“Drink!”
Fortunately, she also quickly responded to his question.
“I want to drink.”
“I’ll get it for you. Something expensive and delicious.”
Taejun casually promised the future.
Having borrowed 10 billion won each from a private loan shark, using their house as collateral, Malhee and Heejin sat side by side in front of a PC monitor alternately every day. Since they promised to repay 1 billion more to the loan shark in a month, they had to make at least 11 billion, but the coins were approaching 13 billion, so they had already earned 2 billion. These days, Heejin was living for the pleasure of looking at the coin chart.
Meanwhile, Malhee made a dying sound every time Heejin called. It was because of Heewook. Even though she laughed involuntarily when she saw the chart, thinking about Heewook made Heejin feel like her insides were bursting. She was worried that her mom, who had barely overcome the crisis, might get sick again because of Heewook.
“[What should I do with Heewook? He drinks on a made-up day, comes in, and now he sleeps calling Soeun’s name. What’s the point of getting married, really…….]”
“It’s truly pathetic, so pathetic. Oh well, Mom. Just wait a bit. Now that Hansoeun, this woman, is also going to get a headache. I should make her leave as if her bones are falling apart.”
During this time, Heejin had been busy trying to get an account on an anonymous community that only K Electronics Service employees could join. After much effort and paying a laughing sum to an acquaintance of an acquaintance, she finally managed to get a secret account that she could use.
Heejin quickly posted a novel on the community bulletin board.
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…
