Suddenly, her gaze fell on a place where she found a pink postit note.
Stepping on the chilly floor, one step at a time, Eun Ha picked it up.
· Round button at the top → All lights on
· Button 1 → Living room
· Button 2 → Bedroom
· Button 3 → Bathroom
· Button 4 → Balcony and laundry room
· Triangle button at the bottom → All lights off
· If the remote doesn’t work, charge it in the charger at the entrance for 10 minutes or more. ☆Never break it☆
Eun Ha paid attention to the crooked star at the bottom of the postit note. The crumpled star resembled Siwoo’s handwriting when he signed the contract.
The image of him casually playing with the pen, holding the small postit note, seemed a bit humorous.
“In case you get confused.”
Siwoo had suddenly come up behind her, scratching his cheek. When had he come here and written this?
“……You’re thorough.”
“It’s basic consideration.”
Swoosh─
As she drew back the white curtain, a moderately spacious balcony appeared. Underneath the large full moon, the night view of Seoul, fast asleep, could be seen all at once.
“From here, you can see where your mother is. See that hill behind the blue sign?”
The moonlight reflected on the cold balcony glass, showing Eun Ha’s face. As Siwoo had said, her mother’s tombstone could be seen clearly from here.
But rather than being moved by his consideration, Eun Ha…
‘Strange.’
Eun Ha looked around.
Royal floor, Hangang view beyond the balcony. The spacious living room, bathroom with a large tub, and even four small empty rooms. The sofa, dining table, even the carpet on the floor seemed quite valuable.
Her jetblack eyes, slowly scanning the interior, finally fixed on Siwoo again.
“You have a lot of money, don’t you?”
At Eun Ha’s sudden statement, Siwoo stiffened for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth a little mischievously.
“Didn’t you know?”
“I don’t know.”
─Anything.
Yes, she knew very little about him. Just as he knew almost nothing about Eun Ha.
“I don’t know how much the status of a Hunter has risen compared to before, or how much capital the guild called ‘Wolf’ has.”
As always, Eun Ha opened her mouth with a cool face.
Tap, tap.
Her slender fingers tapped the glass surface of the table.
“But I know this contract isn’t ordinary.”
Not far away, a faint horn sound rang out. The white curtain, embracing the quiet night air, swelled roundly.
“I told you. Because you are…”
“Don’t say it’s because I’m a firstgeneration Hunter.”
Eun Ha cut off his words.
The white curtain brushed softly past, leaving a place where dark eyes appeared without a tremor.
“Shouldn’t I have the right to know the real reason?”
Eunha looked up at Siwoo, slanting. The black hair that never melted even in the darkness fell below in the moonlight like a thread.
Siwoo accepted Eunha’s condition that she didn’t want to reveal that she was a firstgeneration hunter. He created a false identity for her called Euyura and did not leak information about Eunha’s true identity to his fellow guild members or even to the mansion’s cleaners.
But was the reason she was doing this just because she was a ‘firstgeneration hunter’? The benefits Eunha was receiving from him were extraordinary, enough to be unexplainable with just that. Even Eunha, who was ignorant of modern prices, felt so.
Siwoo spoke in a slightly lowered voice.
“Are you thinking of breaking the contract for a trivial reason?”
“It doesn’t matter what the reason is. I just want to be convinced.”
A long silence passed, during which even the second hand of the clock ran slowly.
The only thing illuminating the unlit room was the moonlight. In the midst of it, the gazes of the two intertwined quietly.
‘I thought it was a successful piece, but it was a failure.’
‘My lord, do not disappoint the master.’
It’s only you.
You alone can do it.
If only you do well.
Only you.
You alone.
Only you do well.
You can do it.
Just you alone.
Only you.
“…….”
“…….”
At the end of the long silence, Siwoo blinked slowly. Eunha was still staring at him, resting her chin.
It was a relief that the place was dark. He didn’t have to worry about showing his expression to her.
Bathed in moonlight, Siwoo faintly lifted the corners of his mouth. The crumbling moonlight graciously hid his slight trembling.
“It scares me.”
……Scary? Eunha’s black eyes fixed on him.
He leaned loosely against the glass door, arms crossed. His halfshadowed face was turned away from Eunha.
“Monsters scare me, and I can’t stand the smell of blood. So, I’m thinking of quitting being a hunter.”
With a smile, he said,
“It’s a runaway.”
Korea’s largest guild, Wolf.
He was the son and the mentioned successor of that place. It felt like always having shackles on his right foot.
And two years ago, after the measurement at the association, he became Korea’s sixth Sclass hunter. That fact shackled his remaining foot as well.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
