He left…
The day when Lee Won-young, the head of the New Drug Development Division, was appointed as the new representative of JS Pharm.
Eunjo learned that Jaeha had returned to New York.
The atmosphere among the employees was positive about Lee Won-young taking charge. Above all, the news that there were no plans for restructuring, as promised by the predecessor, was a piece of good news.
It should have been nothing…
Why is this happening… Eunjo occasionally held her breath due to the unsettled feeling inside. Although the cursor was moving around on the monitor, it couldn’t be considered as working.
A feeling of disappointment, sinking so deeply that it couldn’t be expressed. Unable to do anything about it, she ended up wasting time.
The result was overtime. Despite being in a state of unfocused concentration, there was work to be completed by the next day.
She noticed a chocolate milk left on her desk by someone. It must be a small comfort left for her, who had a shattered lunch.
The worried or curious looks of her colleagues followed her all along.
“…”
In case there might be a need for Min-ah to go to New York, she hastily scheduled her saved vacation for this Friday. It’s going to be tiring for a while.
It would have been nice if they didn’t ask questions with tact, but while thinking, she discovered the new CEO when she opened the milk lid.
Standing up, Eunjo nodded lightly.
“I knocked, but it seems Eunjo didn’t hear it.”
“Huh? Ah… yes.”
He, with a friendly smile, extended what he was holding.
“It’s yuja tea. I bought it, thinking Eunjo might still be here.”
“Thank you.”
For a moment, he glanced at some employees visible through the glass walls and scratched the back of his head.
“Can I sit for a moment? I think I need to say something off-topic, and it’s weird to do it standing.”
“…?”
“Eunjo, just stay in your seat. I can sit here.”
“…”
Eunjo looked at him with round eyes as he pulled a colleague’s chair and sat down.
Friday morning.
As usual, getting ready around the same time as usual, Eunjo left her house and took the bus.
Without any reason or purpose, she boarded a bus heading to the sunflower hill. As soon as she sat down, she opened the window a little.
The scent of yellow and red autumn…
The scent of late summer bidding farewell to the beginning of autumn.
Eight years ago, the fragrance was similar to when he reappeared… It made her nostrils tingle.
Kyle J. Alexis – upon closer inspection, it was Kwon Jaeha.
In the second semester of the first year, Eunjo was busy avoiding that formidable presence that suddenly appeared.
However, somehow, he found out and frequently appeared in her secret hideout. Even bringing coffee.
Eunjo looked around with surprised eyes every time.
Although it was a bench discreetly situated among the trees, if anyone noticed, it would undoubtedly become awkward.
“What are you doing? Take it. Is drinking coffee a crime?”
“It’s no crime at all if I drink it with you.”
Giggling, he laughed without reservation, pretending to be close while seemingly amused by his own actions.
Eunjo widened her round eyes.
Knowing him like a ghost, he appeared again with ‘another’ warm coffee, and she looked up at him, chewing on her lips meticulously.
Suddenly, the laughter lines disappeared from his handsome face, tilting to one side.
“I, it’s too hot.”
“What…?”
The intense and deep gaze of the black-eyed man lingered on her lips.
Openly, sticking closely to lips that seemed about to burst, not knowing how to move.
“…It’s hot. Very.”
“You… Is this how it always is, or is it just me?”
“Maybe, just with you.”
“It’s strangely ambiguous and suggestive, you know? If you intended to make me uncomfortable, you succeeded, so stop it.”
Giggling, Jaeha, who made a mischievous laugh, put down the paper cup he was holding next to her.
Then, sitting on the edge of the bench, he crossed his long legs, put his hands with folded fingers behind his head leisurely.
Eunjo looked at the takeout coffee cup he had put down with a wrinkled face.
“If you’re free… go on a date with your girlfriend or something.”
“That’s a different matter.”
Seemingly uninterested, Jaeha shook his toes.
“I clearly said I don’t want to see you anymore. Especially here. This is my space!”
Oh, really? Changing his posture, he turned to face Eunjo directly.
From the end of his arm, which stretched long over the back of the bench, to the tip of his fingers, which were big and delicate, it seemed like he could touch her shoulders right away.
However, Eunjo, who was already sitting close to the edge of the chair, couldn’t move a bit.
“…”
“If we’re going to talk about ownership, I’m closer to my space.”
“…What?”
“Sean Alexis, remember him? My amazing half-brother unnecessarily poured out a huge donation again.”
“…”
Leaning his arm against his chin, Jaeha swept a slow gaze from the tip of Eunjo’s head to her toes.
“…I’m only taking two courses.”
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
