“I came out of the police station.”
Whether someone reported or not, the police rushed out from the station, and the police who arrived stopped Ji Seo-jun. Han Tae-i, who was tidying up his crumpled clothes as he looked at Ji Seo-jun, who had fallen on his own, said.
“It’s nothing. It’s just a misunderstanding that got a little heated.”
“Misunderstanding?”
When Ji Seo-jun reacted to the word “misunderstanding,” the police who had rushed out quickly intervened.
“Don’t get excited, let’s talk… talk. Right?”
“Seo-jun, endure. Huh?”
When I started to stop him, Ji Seo-jun, who was finally calming down, was holding back. This excited appearance was the second time since Manager Kim.
“Endure it, even if it’s for your girlfriend.”
To resolve it amicably, the police stopped Ji Seo-jun, and Han Tae-i, who was watching Ji Seo-jun like a spectator, smirked. The police who were stopping asked Han Tae-i.
“Did you approach the lady with a purpose? It’s not right for a fine young man like you to do that.”
Apparently, in the eyes of the police, the current situation seemed like Han Tae-i had made a spectacle of me, and Ji Seo-jun, my boyfriend, seemed angry about it.
“Me? Approach Munda-yul?”
Only then did Han Tae-i, who understood what misunderstanding the police had, laugh loudly. When the police frowned at that sight, he stopped laughing and raised his hand.
“It’s not like that… Well, if I have to explain, I’m not fond of such outspoken women.”
Han Tae-i looked at me and shook his head.
“We’ve known each other since middle school. It was a trivial misunderstanding that led to a fight. Forgive us. Okay?”
There was no damage to property, and there was no assault incident as the police had thought. Of course, since there was no violence, the police warned Ji Seo-jun and Han Tae-i, then turned away.
When the police disappeared, Ji Seo-jun, without being stopped by me, approached Han Tae-i with a threatening force. Then Han Tae-i stepped back quickly.
“Whoa, whoa. Calm down.”
Ji Seo-jun, who was silently staring at Han Tae-i, looked at me.
“Munda-yul, I need to talk to Han Tae-i.”
“What? You can talk here.”
“Just a moment, it’ll be quick.”
Seeing Ji Seo-jun’s gaze, I unconsciously nodded my head.
A famous franchise cafe on the main street. Even though it was late, there were still many people. Sitting in a secluded spot, I sipped a warm drink for 30 minutes.
Ji Seo-jun received a call.
Where are you?
Not a bad voice than expected. But the uneasiness did not go away.
“I’m at the cafe right now. Where are you? I’ll come there.”
No. I’ll come.
Not long after the call ended, Ji Seo-jun showed up. Perhaps they didn’t fight. He looked around with a fierce look in his eyes, but he seemed calm.
“Why? Did you think we fought?”
What’s the point of asking when you know. As I nodded, Ji Seo-jun patted my head.
“We didn’t fight. We just talked.”
In Ji Seo-jun’s voice, which spoke to comfort me, the tension that had been in my body all along was released.
“How did you know I was meeting Han Tae-i?”
“Doyira called.”
I nodded, tightly gripping the lukewarm mug with both hands, still containing some residual warmth.
“Feeling tired? Let’s go.”
Ji Seo-jun, who had been silently watching me, got up from his seat. I followed Ji Seo-jun and left the cafe. Ji Seo-jun hurriedly hailed a taxi as I hunched my body against the cold wind.
“You came here by taxi?”
I asked as Ji Seo-jun shook his head instead of hailing a taxi.
“Then? Did you come by car?”
“Yeah.”
“Where’s the car?”
“…It got towed.”
“What?”
Ji Seo-jun, who received a call from Doyira, ran to find me and parked the car wherever near the place where Doyira and I broke up.
When he finished talking to Han Tae-i and tried to contact me, he found out that the car had been towed. Ji Seo-jun’s hair was quite disheveled as he casually mentioned it.
I started tying Ji Seo-jun’s shoelaces, realizing how hastily he had come to find me. His shoelaces were dirty, having been stepped on and stained.
“Well, what are you doing? I’ll do it.”
“Shh. Stay still.”
I grabbed Ji Seo-jun’s foot as he tried to escape. The tangled shoelaces were trampled and dirty.
“Thanks for coming to find me.”
My words collided with the cold air, creating a white breath. The breath disappeared in an instant, but it seemed like my feelings were adequately conveyed to Ji Seo-jun.
Someone who would come running if I were in danger. The shoelaces, now turned into a pretty ribbon, seemed like Ji Seo-jun’s exclusive security badge. I didn’t know how Ji Seo-jun, who was looking down at me, would react, but…
“Let’s go find the car!”
I stood up and confidently said to Ji Seo-jun.
“Now? I can go alone. So, you go home first.”
“I just want to find the car with you. The taxi is coming!”
I raised my hand towards the taxi in the distance.
“Inha, Miss Inha?”
Inha had been a bit strange lately. It seemed like she had left her soul somewhere, carrying only about 600g of it.
“Yes? Yes! Manager. You called?”
“What’s wrong? You don’t look good… ”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
