Impure Among Friends (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 19
Last night, Tae Hee barely escaped from beneath Sa Jun as he slept and tossed and turned on the living room sofa for a long time.
She must have dozed off watching the sky beyond the terrace tinted in the faint blue hue of dawn.
Then why, when she opened her eyes, was she in Kang Sa Jun’s bed?
Still half-asleep, Tae Hee stared up at the ceiling fan spinning above.
‘…Stay by my side for the rest of your life.’
Sa Jun’s words from last night—whether drunken honesty or calculated intent—echoed clearly in her ears.
Pulling the thin sheet up to her chin, Tae Hee muttered irritably,
“I absolutely must never let him drink soju again.”
When sober, he’d asked her out in such a ridiculously dramatic, bowing-on-the-ground way.
But when drunk, he’d made even the thought of being his doormat for life sound heart-flutteringly romantic.
Kang Sa Jun had been drunk, and Tae Hee had nearly fallen for him in that state.
“But Kang Sa Jun, you’re seriously a terrible man.”
There was no other explanation—it couldn’t be otherwise. He’d completely turned her emotions upside down, stirred her heart, and then slept peacefully while she stayed wide awake.
She could’ve just brushed it off as drunken rambling or childish whining and ignored it.
But the human heart was truly fickle.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
