After coming down from the rooftop lounge, Taehee’s mind was blank, but she acted as usual.
So came the Friday evening commute.
As she stepped outside the building, thanks to the lengthening sun, it was still bright as if it were midday.
Under the dazzling sky, Taehee calmly walked towards the station.
The bustling streets of Gangnam, filled with commuters heading home, felt crowded, but she felt as if she were walking alone.
She was that absorbed in deep thought.
Even though it had been only a little over a week, she felt uneasy.
Until now, there had never been a time when the dates were off by more than two days.
No matter how many times she thought about it, she was sure about contraception.
It was one of the conditions for their relationship, and she had even made up her mind before going on a business trip. There was no way she would make such a mistake.
But why wasn’t it happening? It’s driving me crazy.
Taehee felt like tearing her hair out.
Based on information she gathered through internet searches whenever she had a chance, Taehee came up with three assumptions.
The first assumption: Skipping or irregular menstruation due to stress.
“Have I been too stressed lately?”
No, it was the opposite. The past month was the happiest and smoothest in her 29 years of life, thanks to their relationship.
The second assumption: Changes in her body.
“Did something go wrong with my health?”
During her annual health check-ups, Taehee was always healthy. Although she had an increased appetite and felt sleepy, it was all because of Kang Sajun. Besides that, there were no other changes in her body.
The third assumption: Actual pregnancy.
“That’s absurd!”
While indulging in self-pity, Taehee saw a pharmacy.
Looking at it with a wry smile, she passed by but turned back and entered the pharmacy.
Instead of foolishly agonizing alone, she should seek the power of medicine in times like this.
“What are you looking for?”
“One, no, give me two pregnancy test kits.”
As she put the test kits into the bag, it happened when she was leaving the pharmacy.
Suddenly, Sajun appeared, blocking her way, and Taehee, surprised, let out a scream and sat down.
Seeing Taehee like that, Sajun was also surprised.
He grabbed her shoulder with his large hand and lifted her up. Taehee glared at Sajun, who seemed to find it amusing.
“We almost had a heart attack!”
Sajun laughed as if he had heard an amusing comment.
“Min Taehee, in times like this, you should say you almost had a heart attack from cardiac arrest.”
“Kang Sajun, instead of correcting expressions, you should apologize first.”
Where’s the criticism coming from? I’m so distressed right now.
“Sorry for surprising you.”
One of the things that changed since they started dating was that Sajun became a good listener to Taehee’s words.
With Sajun’s apology, Taehee’s restless heart gradually settled down.
“Suddenly, what’s going on at work? We don’t meet on weekdays, right?”
“Today is Friday. The day I come to pick you up, the day we agreed to meet in front of the company.”
“…Right.”
When Taehee made a forgetful expression, Sajun looked disappointed.
“Forgetting our promise, not even answering calls. What would you have done if I didn’t come looking for you?”
“Sorry, I was a bit out of it today.”
Sajun, who was silently looking at Taehee’s face as she weakly apologized, extended his arms.
Covering her forehead with his large hand, he spoke with a serious expression.
“No fever, so where does it hurt?”
“No fever, not sick.”
“Then what did you buy at the pharmacy?”
At Sajun’s question, Taehee’s throat seemed to tighten for a moment.
Speak, or not. She wanted to vent everything she felt like saying, but she didn’t want to make a fuss over something uncertain.
“Painkillers. Bought a bottle because I was tired.”
“Hmm.”
As if suspicious, Sajun squinted his eyes. Feeling pricked in her conscience, Taehee snapped.
“Because of you, I can’t rest properly on weekends, so on weekdays, I groan like a sick chicken.”
“Don’t nag, Min Taehee. I’m making so much effort to follow the rules you set.”
Only on weekends and only once a day.
Sajun was properly keeping that promise without complaining.
Feeling like she had needlessly picked a fight with Sajun, who said it was good for them to be together, Taehee held his hand first.
“Kang Sajun, I want to eat red bean shaved ice.”
She earnestly wished to cool down her flushed cheeks and heated mind.
The shaved ice shop. Sitting with Sajun by the window, they earnestly ate mango shaved ice.
Suddenly feeling strange, Taehee turned her head.
A baby, just beginning to walk, had grabbed the hem of Taehee’s dress and was looking up at her with bright eyes.
Did they say every woman is born with maternal love?
Looking at the baby, Taehee smiled unknowingly.
How adorable.
“I’m so sorry!”
Surprised, the mother came over, picked up the baby, and apologized to Taehee. Taehee reassured her, then turned to Sajun.
“Kang Sajun, did you see the baby just now?”
“Yeah.”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
