Trying to be as annoying as Kang Sajun, she intended to take it lightly.
But Sajun’s words of affection deeply pierced her heart, making her breath falter and heart slacken. She even forgot to breathe.
She had to say something. Her lips, usually quick to retort, remained silent.
Finally, Taehui closed her eyes tightly.
She couldn’t bear to look directly into Sajun’s eyes, which might hold truth or lies.
The enclosed room fell into silence.
Only the sound of her heart, as if about to burst, echoed in her ears.
But Sajun’s unbelievable confession wasn’t over yet.
“I’ve liked you for a long time, Min Taehui. So let’s stop being just friends and start dating.”
His calm, even voice resonated weightily in Taehui’s ears, stirring her heart.
It seemed Sajun was set on pursuing her today.
Of course, she knew Sajun’s confession couldn’t be sincere.
Her mind knew it, her heart knew it.
Yet, her heart fluttered at Sajun’s confession, foolishly wanting to believe. She wanted to put aside complex thoughts and simply date Kang Sajun.
Even if it was a dream beyond her reach, as long as she could stand by his side as a woman.
No, regardless of Sajun’s true feelings, Taehui just wanted to believe.
Lately, Kang Sajun had certainly been acting strange.
She wanted to misconstrue every little thing, to misunderstand and believe.
That Kang Sajun liked her too.
Perhaps this is why love makes one a fool.
Exhaling a soft sigh, Taehui slowly opened her eyes.
“…….”
“…….”
And she confronted it. Sajun’s eyes, emotionless and indifferent, despite his confession.
His eyes, hinting at a touch of blue, were cool and composed.
A painful reality returned.
Her heart ached, but Taehui managed a light smile.
“Wow, I almost really believed you.”
She still desperately wanted to believe his confession, but she knew Sajun too well.
How uninterested he was in women, why he kept only her by his side, and his heart, dried up like dust.
“Then believe it.”
Sajun’s response, without a hint of hesitation, almost made Taehui laugh absurdly.
His confession clearly had sincerity in it. While his profession of liking her might be false, his desire to date was genuine.
As a partner for a showcase relationship, he would never give up on her. He knew too well she was the most convenient, straightforward, and clean choice.
Taehui was confident about this until she recognized her impure heart.
To date cleanly, draw a precise line, and not cross it, as convenient and rational lovers.
But Kang Sajun, I’m not sure anymore. Because I like you. I like you so much it scares me. That’s why it’s frightening and terrifying.
Contrary to her overwhelmed heart, a calm voice flowed from Taehui’s lips.
“I don’t like it, I won’t believe.”
Once Sajun had said that he felt goosebumps when looked at with romantic interest.
So, for Sajun, light physical contact was possible only with her, who didn’t see him romantically.
The kiss that crossed the boundary, the hand he suddenly grabbed, the unexpected contacts, kind words, and actions.
All of Sajun’s incomprehensible words and actions, his temptations, and provocations, made sense at this moment.
Sajun wasn’t confirming his feelings for her.
He was testing how far physical contact could go, how affectionately he could act like a lover.
“You’ve been testing me all this time, haven’t you? To see if I could be in a relationship with you.”
You bad guy, how could you do such a thing.
Unaware of this, I was so shaken, worried, and troubled. Even for a fool like me, this is too much.
It hurt as if a hot knife was piercing my heart. If I continued this way, I would end up just like my mother, Hyesook.
Being swayed, adjusting, forgiving, overlooking, enduring. In agony but unable to let go. Hating it to death but unable to leave. Holding on to the mere fact of being together, pathetically unable to let go of my feelings.
Like Hyesook, who was happy to receive withered flowers from Seontae, I didn’t want to be swayed by the shallow feelings of Sajun.
Rather than being tormented by the insincere Sajun, Taehee decided to run away.
If that was the only way to protect herself from Kang Sajun.
“I’ll decline your offer. I’m sorry for what must have been a heartfelt confession.”
Contrary to the week-long intense dilemma, Taehee spoke calmly.
Although Taehee couldn’t even meet Sajun’s eyes, trembling at his confession, now her gaze was calm and composed.
“I can be friends with you, but honestly, I’m not confident about being lovers. I also don’t have the confidence to deceive your great grandfather. So, I wish you wouldn’t draw me in.”
“…….”
“You know it, I dislike men and dating just like you do. Even if it’s a fake relationship, I hate it to the point of shaking.”
Having declined the offer, Kang Sajun will surely find another partner.
As much as he didn’t want to keep several people around him, that woman, who has a greater need, will remain by Sajun’s side instead of Taehee. And with that, this relationship will end.
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.”
