Mr. Seung Ho rolled up his sleeves saying he would do it, but my mother chased him out of the kitchen. The person who made me stand in front of the sink saying that I had to do at least the dishes since I didn’t do anything else was also my mother.

I kept having doubts, but our mother was our biological mother.

When I was almost finished, he put the cup he had drunk water from in the sink.

“Bring it here quickly.”
Without realizing it, a scolding tone slipped out. Then, he didn’t return to the living room but kept staring down at me.

“Why… Why!”
“You.”
He called me. My heart pounded fiercely again.

“You don’t have plans tomorrow, do you?”
He figured it out.

My pounding heart ‘thud’ and dropped.

“I, I do?”
“Hmm. Really?”
“Yes!”
“With who?”
“Do I really need to tell you that?”
I scrubbed the cup Ji Seo Joon brought last with a scrubber.

“Be out in front of the house at 10 tomorrow.”
“I told you, I have plans?”
As I was about to remove the rubber gloves after washing the last dish, he abruptly mentioned the time of the appointment.

“I know you don’t have any. Tomorrow at 10.”
Then, without any hesitation, he turned back towards the living room.

My lie didn’t work this time, either.

Seeing him eating fruit seated between his parents and our mother, memories from our childhood bubbled up.

Ever since I started talking and began the primitive human instinct of lying, he had seen through my lies.

.

.

.

“Our mom said so! I’m a princess!”
“How can you be a princess?”
“Uh… I’m a princess!”
“Our country is not a kingdom. If your parents are not a king and queen, how can you be a princess? Your mom lied.”

In fact, our mother never called me a princess. I lied to young Ji Seo Joon after seeing a friend’s mother from the same kindergarten call her daughter ‘our princess’.

Young Ji Seo Joon, explaining the errors in my lies nonchalantly as he built blocks.

From then on, not a single one of my lies ever got past him.

“Da Yul, what are you doing over there? Come and eat with us.”
Uncle Seung Ho called me. I forced a smile and answered.

“Yes, I’ll be right there.”

I woke up at 8 o’clock to the alarm. Waking up to an alarm on a day without an appointment was the worst. The fact that the reason I was getting up was because of Ji Seo Joon made it even worse.

I barely got up and made myself look presentable and walked out the front door at 9:50. I had to hurry so I wouldn’t be even slightly late.

Outside, Ji Seo Joon was there.

Dressed in a shirt and slacks, Ji Seo Joon was deep in thought, looking at his phone. When Ji Seo Joon concentrates on something or is troubled, his eyebrows wrinkle slightly, and he was making that face now.

“What are you worrying about?”
As I approached and asked, he checked the time on his wristwatch and opened his mouth.

“You’re not late.”
“Do you think I’m always late?”
“Yes.”
Should I not go? Should I just go back up to the house right now?

“There aren’t many properties near the office.”
“Where is your office?”
The place he mentioned was near our company. Well, since it’s a place with many foreign companies, I thought they could overlap. I didn’t think much of it.

Then I remembered that I hadn’t heard where Ji Seo Joon had been hired. I didn’t ask because I wondered what I would do with that information. In fact, I wasn’t that curious.

I set off to see a room with Ji Seo Joon. Retracing the path to work on a weekend was not a particularly enjoyable thing to do. The good thing amongst the unfortunate was Ji Seo Joon who didn’t want to take the subway and hailed a taxi.

We didn’t spend much time at the real estate office, as we had already considered several properties in advance. After a brief explanation, we were able to immediately go out with the agent to view the rooms.

The moment we entered the first house.

“Wow…”
A very convenient transportation network, a spacious and pleasant house, and lighting so bright that it seemed almost too much. Full options. The independent room I had dreamed of was right before my eyes.

“HHow much is it here?”
“The deposit is in the early 400 million won range. The landlord is not considering monthly rent. If you want to rent monthly, I will discuss with the landlord.”
“It’s nice.”
He said next to me.

Nice?

Does he have the ability to pay a 400 million won deposit now? I gently poked him in the side.

“Do you have money?”
I whispered quietly.

“I have, that’s why I’m looking.”
Without a care in the world, he answered and began to meticulously examine everywhere from the kitchen to the balcony.

Was the reason for his increased aura the leisure that comes from money? I began to see Ji Seo Joon in a new light.

As Ji Seo Joon was silently looking around, the real estate agent hurriedly added.

“If you have a car, this place is very good. The parking space is also spacious. The management fee is low for the large space. You can move in immediately. And it’s enough space to live with your girlfriend. Isn’t it?”
The real estate agent sought agreement from me. Was he seeing me as his girlfriend?

“She’s not my girlfriend.”
Ji Seo Joon swiftly corrected him without any expression.

I should have spoken up first, but he beat me to it.

“Aha. Hahaha. I see. Usually, they come to look with their girlfriends…. I misunderstood. I apologize.”
The real estate agent only apologized to him. I’m upset too!

“Can you show us other places too?”
Before I had time to ask, Ji Seo Joon spoke.

We looked around three more places, but in the end, the house we chose was the first one.

No. Then why did we look around here and there?

My legs were hurting more than I thought from the strenuous schedule, and I glanced at him while rubbing my calves.

“If you have a complaint, say it properly.”
We arrived at the restaurant and decided to have a late lunch. Ji Seo Joon said, putting a spoon in front of me.

“When are you moving?”
“Right away. They said we can move in immediately.”
“The lady and the man must be disappointed.”
“……”
Without a word, this time he poured water and placed it in front of me.

“So, when do you start work?”
“In three weeks.”
“Where is the company?”
I wasn’t curious, but I thought it was good to ask. To not show any interest in that regard.

“S.T. Corporation.”
I doubted my ears at the all too familiar company name.

“Where?”
“Do I need to spell it out for you?”
Ji Seo Joon patiently spelled out each letter.

Goodness.

The company he mentioned was the company I was working at. In other words, we were going to work at the same company.

I felt dizzy.

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…

Trigger warning: All men in this novel are yandere style.
