I watched a movie of memories on the large screen that filled one side of the wall.
Eating incessantly ordered room service, I even thought my stomach would burst.
At the mention of feeling like throwing up from being too full, Sajun became a personal trainer as if he had been waiting.
“Min Taehui, you’re too weak. So, you faint at the slightest provocation.”
From Taehui’s perspective, it was an unfair statement. Although I wanted to counter that I’m not weak, but rather that he’s like a monster, there was no chance.
Despite being subjected to intense workouts relentlessly, my feelings that had been swayed by Sajun were neatly organized.
It was clear that he didn’t see me as a woman, and he definitely didn’t love me, even a bit. It was difficult, and I couldn’t refuse, so out of pride, I did it stubbornly like a bulldozer.
As a result, I exercised for almost two hours on the terrace, receiving the long afternoon sunlight. And then, room service again. If that was the case, why did he make me exercise like that, and why is the food so delicious?
Taking another shower with a full stomach, the long afternoon came to an end, and the night arrived.
On the terrace, Taehui sat side by side with Sajun on the swing chair.
Sajun drank cool ice water, saying he had to bring Taehui. Taehui drank cold beer, absentmindedly looking up at the night sky, and suddenly realized.
The time that seemed to flow slowly had passed quickly, the complex thoughts in her head were now clear, and the tense mind that had been straining had relaxed.
Had I ever had such a comfortable day? Definitely not.
“Kang Sajun.”
When Taehui called, Sajun, who had been looking at the same place, turned his gaze slightly.
When our eyes met, they deeply intertwined.
Without saying a word, we stared at each other like that for a while.
Perhaps because my heart had loosened. Perhaps it was due to the beer I enjoyed. The tightly packed feelings inside slightly opened.
Between those gaps, sincerity seemed to come out, hesitant and shy, but eventually, a little face peeped out.
“Thank you.”
Suddenly, at Taehui’s words, Sajun smiled. “For what?”
So, instead of an answer, Taehui also laughed.
If it weren’t for Sajun, I wouldn’t be who I am now.
Thinking like that, there was so much to be thankful for to Sajun that it felt almost apologetic.
After drinking the cold beer, Taehui carefully surveyed the surroundings.
A languid and comfortable atmosphere, a incredibly handsome man beside her, affectionate eyes looking down as if willing to listen to anything, and a sip of cool beer.
Will there be a happier day than today?
Maybe there won’t be, thought Taehui, and she quietly leaned her face on Sajun’s shoulder.
“Just because, I’m so happy right now.”
In a murmur that sounded like a soliloquy, Sajun didn’t say anything.
He just looked at Taehui with an inscrutable, deep gaze, silently waiting for Taehui’s next words.
Come to think of it, Sajun had always been like this.
Merely looking at me with an indescribable deep and profound gaze, silently awaiting Taehui’s next words.
Come to think of it, Kang Sajun had always been like this.
If Taehui is a capricious typhoon and a storm, Sajun is a vast sea that swallows up everything quietly.
This love will probably be the same.
Even if I’m tossed around by my feelings, boiling with capriciousness, rising with love and behaving badly again out of love, revealing my heart and then hiding it as if it never happened.
Even with such troublesome capriciousness, you will calmly accept me and probably be afraid of leaving me on such days.
As if that were your role.
I, too, will faithfully fulfill my role to you.
Even if it’s not love, even if you use me as much as you want, with the desire to be by your side if you need me, just one reason, being by your side, is enough.
But I knew that life would never be truly happy.
“Do you know that, Kang Sajun?”
It was extremely impulsive.
Maybe it’s because I’m trying to say something I’ve never wanted to say in my life.
“I can’t live without you either.”
I couldn’t say the words “I love you,” but still, I wanted to say this.
Whether a friend, a lover, or this love that might be the last. It’s all possible because it’s Kang Sajun.
I hoped Sajun would understand that much.
Instead of answering, Sajun lowered his face.
It was a warm kiss that enveloped gently like the warmth of a cozy embrace, rather than a passionate lust.
Feeling the soft touch of intertwining lips, Taehui closed her eyes quietly.
Having committed a misdeed but not feeling regret, having indulged in an impulsive escapade that might be unforgettable, she thought she spent such a day.
“Get up, Min Taehui. I’ll safely escort you to the entrance.”
It was fine for Sajun to take her to the front of the house.
No, but why suddenly insist on carrying her up to the house?
To the words saying it’s crazy, Sajun casually replied.
Because he didn’t exercise today, he felt he might have too much energy left to sleep well.
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…
