“Director, what should we do for real… because I was distracted…”
“First, let’s file a missing person report…”
At that moment, they heard an adult’s voice expressing anger from a distance and a child’s voice crying, admitting a mistake. It was Sora. Line hurriedly ran over.
They were in front of the stationery store that Sora wanted to go to.
“Hey, you, the childcare center kid! You little thief! Already learning to steal!”
The stationery store owner grabbed Sora’s head.
“Uwaaah! I didn’t mean to!”
Line was surprised and stood next to Sora. Song Kang, equally angry, approached that side.
“Boss, what are you doing right now?”
Line questioned the stationery store owner. Sora looked at Line and cried more pitifully.
“Sora, tell us what happened instead of crying.”
“Uwaaah! I touched this because I wanted it!”
Seeing how unfair the situation was, Line became angrier, watching Sora, who couldn’t breathe properly and explained.
“Boss, explain the situation.”
“Are you his mom or something?”
Trying to intervene, Song Kang was surprised by Line’s reaction and looked at her.
“Yeah, I’m his mom!”
Line, directly stepping forward, confronted the stationery store owner. Memories of her childhood, ignored because her parents were absent, resurfaced, intensifying her emotions.
“Did you just call me a thief? Do you have any evidence that the child stole this? Do you have CCTV? We haven’t even left this scene yet, on what basis do you accuse us of theft?”
The stationery store owner tensed at Line’s sharp words.
“Boss, a while ago, you hit our child, right? Do you know that if the victim of an incident is a child, there can be aggravated punishment under the special law? Apologize to our child politely. Otherwise, we’ll take legal action. Of course, there won’t be leniency.”
Line’s powerful momentum made the stationery store owner quickly apologize, even giving a toy to Sora.
Line wanted to shout at the stationery store owner, asking whom they took her for, but she held back, as her words might not be suitable for the young ears around her.
Sora accepted the toy and timidly hid behind Line. Line, concealing her anger, handed a 10,000-won bill, tucked into her phone case, to the child.
“Sora, in stores, you calculate and pay for things before bringing them out.”
Terrified, Sora looked for Line’s reaction. Song Kang was the same, glancing at Line.
“It’s okay. Go and pay for it.”
Even after going to pay and returning, Sora remained cowed, constantly checking Line’s mood. Line, taking Sora, walked to a place away from the stationery store and stopped walking.
She and the child continued walking, and Song Kang, who had been following them, also stopped. Line’s anger seemed about to explode, so Song Kang couldn’t help but be tense.
Sora, fearing that Line would scold her, cowered behind Song Kang, crying.
“I-I… I did wrong. Uwaaah!”
In this situation, Song Kang was conflicted. He had to consider whether hiding Sora behind him would benefit or harm the child.
At that moment, Line, with a firm expression, gestured for Sora to come. Sora held onto Song Kang’s thigh and hid behind him, crying.
“Come quickly. There’s no one here to tolerate your tantrums.”
Seeing that Line had something to say to the child, Song Kang had no choice but to let Sora go. However, he couldn’t help but keep an eye on them, fearing that Line might do something to Sora.
Feeling upset, Line sighed deeply and, sitting down to match Sora’s eye level, wiped away the tears streaming down the chubby cheeks.
“Sora, what did you do wrong? Stop crying and tell me slowly.”
“I st… stole… a toy.”
Thinking that it was only a matter of time before a crooked adult ruined a child, Line’s anger surged.
“No, Sora didn’t steal the toy. You were just looking at it. Right?”
Sora nodded, shoulders trembling.
“It’s this adult’s fault. Sora wanted to buy this and was just looking. Using harsh words hurt Sora’s feelings.”
“Tsk… Wrong…”
“No, Sora didn’t do anything wrong today. Bringing Sora here was my mistake; I got distracted. I’m sorry. Sora, will you accept an apology?”
Sora, who expected to be scolded, looked puzzled and nodded.
“Don’t say you did something wrong just because someone scolded you without a reason. Okay? You should say it’s not true if it’s not.”
Even though Line knew that Sora was not at an age to understand such words, as an adult, she wanted to say them.
Watching Line, Song Kang was moved by her as a good adult. Line’s approach, infinitely strong to the strong and weak to the weak, impressed him.
“Sora, want me to carry you when we leave?”
Sora nodded, sniffling. Line picked up Sora.
Already exhausted from the harsh injection, Sora’s body would likely ache more due to the recent incident. Line felt sorry for her distressed mind.
“I’ll carry her.”
Song Kang offered to carry Sora.
“I came here for volunteer work. It’s not like you came for volunteer work, Director.”
Refusing Song Kang’s kindness, Line carried Sora and walked away. Sora fell asleep in Line’s arms.
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.”
