“So, Lee Soo is my girlfriend.”
That’s all Ji Ho needed to say.
Ji Ho swallowed the words he originally wanted to say, as if reading Lee Soo’s eyes.
“My girlfriend… she’s someone else.”
He continued, looking at Lee Soo’s relieved eyes.
“So, there’s no need to keep asking the wrong person these questions.”
Yumi was the most shocked by Ji Ho’s words.
“What do you mean you have a girlfriend, oppa?”
Yumi blinked her big eyes in disbelief.
It meant Ji Ho was already in a relationship with someone else, not just a crush.
“Oppa really has a girlfriend?”
Ignoring everyone’s gaze, Yumi repeatedly asked the same question.
“Yes. There seems to be a false rumor that you’re my girlfriend, so be careful in the future to avoid any misunderstandings.”
“What did I…”
“Don’t show up unannounced, don’t wait for me on your own, and don’t touch me without permission.”
Yumi looked like she had heard something unbearable, her expression on the verge of tears.
“It’s because of your actions that such baseless rumors spread. Don’t create situations that need clarifying.”
“What? How can you say that to me?”
Ji Ho’s cold gaze and tone made Yumi’s eyes well up with tears.
Humiliated in front of everyone, especially in front of Lee Soo, Yumi couldn’t bear the embarrassment and left the place.
“Hey, take it easy. Why make her cry? It’s hard to get used to your ways.”
Ha Joon, who had been quietly eating, shook his head.
“It’s embarrassing even for me to listen. Look, I’m getting goosebumps.”
Ju Hee showed the goosebumps on her arm to Lee Soo.
“Hearing him talk so coldly and rationally, no wonder girls can’t easily confess to him.”
Ju Hee clicked her tongue.
Lee Soo was equally surprised.
This was the first time she had seen Ji Ho so cold.
Leaning back in his chair, Ji Ho spoke indifferently.
“I think it’s not polite to pretend when I know my feelings are different from the other person’s. If you let it go, it eventually becomes uncomfortable for both. If it’s not right, you should know how to give up cleanly.”
Dong Woo, who had been eating silently, looked up at Ji Ho’s words.
Their eyes met briefly, and Ji Ho just smirked and shrugged.
“Let’s go together.”
Ji Ho suddenly appeared over Lee Soo’s shoulder.
Startled, Lee Soo turned her head, almost bumping into Ji Ho’s face.
“What! You scared me.”
“You knew I’d follow you.”
Ji Ho’s expression was once again gentle and warm.
“How would I know? I don’t have eyes on the back of my head.”
Lee Soo quickened her pace, trying to put some distance between them.
“You’re not running away on purpose, are you?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Why are you walking so fast? If you avoid me when you’re so friendly with Dong Woo, I’ll really get upset!”
“Friendly? What…”
At that, Lee Soo slowed down and walked beside Ji Ho.
Unknowingly, Lee Soo had indeed been trying to keep a distance from Ji Ho.
“Didn’t you see me at the basketball court?”
Lee Soo’s expression, unskilled at lying, immediately turned awkward.
“…So you did see. But why did you just walk away pretending not to know?”
“…”
“There’s no need to pretend you didn’t see me. When you walk away laughing with another guy instead of me, it makes me…”
“You were with someone else, so I didn’t want to disturb.”
Lee Soo had actually wanted to avoid Yumi, not Ji Ho, but she couldn’t admit it outright and felt frustrated.
She had been putting it off, but she realized she should soon open up to Ji Ho about her relationship with Yumi.
“Disturb? I’ve already told you she and I are nothing. I drew the line with her in front of you today because I was worried you might act like this.”
Lee Soo had clearly seen him acting coldly, enough to make Yumi run out in tears.
His too different demeanor was a little scary.
“But did you really need to be that harsh?”
“When it comes to a girl I don’t like, I act that way. I’m only gentle with you.”
Ji Ho stopped walking, turned to face Lee Soo, and looked down into her eyes.
“So, I wish you would do the same. Smile only for me, be gentle only to me.”
Lee Soo remembered Ji Ho once saying he’d go crazy with jealousy.
He must have been upset seeing her with Dong Woo earlier.
“I did that on purpose for you to see. That’s how you reject someone.”
“…”
“Remember it well and do the same to Dong Woo someday. Don’t let him have any false hope.”
Ji Ho spoke confidently as if he was sure Dong Woo liked Lee Soo.
He refused to believe they were just friends.
“I don’t think that will be necessary. But if it happens, I will.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon]Saturday afternoon.
Lee Soo had arranged to meet her high school friend Daeun.
Daeun, who had gone to university in Busan, had maintained a close friendship with Lee Soo since their first year of high school.
On days she met Daeun, Lee Soo would dress up and even put on makeup, which she didn’t usually do.
Having carefully done her makeup, Lee Soo wore a V-line mini dress that plunged deeply at the chest.
The dress accentuated her slender neck and long legs.
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.”
