His finely wrinkled face, more expressionless than ever, made her realize her mistake. The voices of people chattering outside gradually faded away.
The silence between the two seemed to have spread even outside the room. In the quiet space, Taehong, who remained silent, still only looked at Haejin.
She wished he had at least shown anger. She thought if he revealed the suppressed emotions, it would bring relief to her heart.
However, he didn’t say anything. Quietly looking down, he pulled a chair from under the bed instead of sitting down.
Sitting close to the bed, Taehong reached out towards Haejin’s forehead. Even with his large palm covering her forehead, there was still space. His warmth on her forehead was still noticeable.
“Do you have a fever?”
Placing his hand on his own forehead, he started comparing it with hers.
“No, I don’t.”
Unable to understand his intentions, Haejin silently observed his actions.
“Did you hit your head when you fell?”
“No.”
The palm measuring the temperature still pressed firmly against her forehead. His large hand came down below her eyes. The sight was momentarily blocked by his long fingers.
“Although I know you didn’t, maybe we should take a CT scan.”
Haejin shook her head as if asking him to remove his hand. Then, Taehong’s substantial palm was lifted up. The strange emptiness quickly passed over the forehead where the weight was gone.
“I’m fine now.”
“But why has Jeonghae been talking nonsense since earlier?”
Only now did emotions show on his previously expressionless face. There was a slight dissatisfaction with defining it as perfect nonsense. The situation clearly revealed his displeasure.
“I really meant to pay you back.”
“With money?”
“Yes.”
Haejin answered briefly. Anyway, payday was coming soon, and she could cover the emergency room expenses. She didn’t want to be in such a situation.
“Well, sorry, but it seems more complicated than I thought.”
“What’s not simple about it?”
Taehong, stroking his chin, crossed one leg. The atmosphere changed subtly. There was a subtle rebellion on his strangely distorted face.
“First of all, today is the weekend. Overtime pay will be included.”
Rather than the amount written on the receipt, what does he mean by weekend overtime pay? Haejin continued to observe Taehong, who seemed not to have finished yet.
“By the way, I’m a very expensive person in terms of labor costs.”
Haejin’s face gradually stiffened. Various figures and numbers in her head spun around arbitrarily. The constantly increasing number of zeros was drawn.
“Plus, the time spent coming to this hospital.”
Is he not looking at the IV disease but calculating it? Following Taehong’s gaze, Haejin also naturally moved her gaze.
“And until I spend time in the hospital from now on.”
More than half of the treatment is still left, indicating that there is still a long time to stay in the hospital.
“When you consider all of that comprehensively.”
Now that all the formalities seemed to be over, gradually, he raised his index finger with a thoughtful expression.
“Even for my emotional damages.”
He began pressing the acupressure point. She wanted to ask when he caused damage to her mental state, but she couldn’t.
“I was really surprised.”
She knew his words were not false, having already seen his face full of concern.
“If we calculate it again comprehensively.”
Just as Taehong was about to calculate again in his mind, Haejin reached out and grabbed the raised index finger.
“W-wait a moment. Stop it.”
As desperate as she was, strength involuntarily entered her hand that held his finger. She could only look at her own fingers that held him.
“I guess I made some nonsense after all.”
Quick acknowledgment can reduce property damage.
“I probably complained too much about money in front of you.”
Only then did Taehong express satisfaction with a crumpled face.
“I’m really okay now, so you can go.”
She wanted to take the remaining injection alone. If he didn’t leave, it seemed like he would keep looking down on herself. Seeing that he didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving, she decided to speak.
“Aren’t you leaving?”
The one who hadn’t blinked suddenly raised his index finger.
“Like this?”
He raised his index finger, and why is my finger following it? Surprised, she tried to release the held finger. But now Taehong was holding her finger.
“I can do at least this much.”
She didn’t understand his words and didn’t know English, still in a state where Taehong was holding her hand.
“Jeonghae collapsed, and I was really surprised the most.”
So she couldn’t refuse him holding only her finger. And she couldn’t tell him to leave anymore.
Throughout the injection, Taehong held Haejin’s hand. More attention was paid to the hand he held than the back of the hand pierced by the needle.
Even a slight movement made his hand feel full in hers. She became sensitive even to small movements. After receiving all the injections and removing the needle, when she tried to get up slowly, her head started spinning.
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.”
