“Are you bored?”
In Ho, walking in step with Su Yeon, sneaked a glance at her and asked.
Today, Su Yeon, who was supposed to be alone at home, insisted on coming to the shooting location, worried about her.
Though he managed to bring her to the set as he wished, his mind was not at ease.
A day at the set usually passed quickly, filled with back-to-back schedules.
But that was only from his perspective.
While he was busy, Su Yeon had to guard the van alone, waiting indefinitely for him.
This constant worry made him try to care for Su Yeon whenever he could, but it didn’t fully ease his discomfort.
“What is it?”
Su Yeon lifted her head, sipping her warm coffee.
It was a while before In Ho replied.
“Waiting for me.”
Su Yeon, walking ahead, gazed at In Ho thoughtfully.
In Ho, avoiding her gaze, looked guilty.
Her expression softened into a gentle smile.
“No, I’m not bored at all. It’s actually quite fun.”
In Ho looked disbelieving.
“Really.”
Su Yeon answered more earnestly.
It was a completely truthful statement.
Compared to the past decades, these recent times had been undeniably more joyful and happier.
She couldn’t believe she was mingling among countless people, easily conversing with those who approached her, bringing her indescribable joy.
“I can’t believe it. If that were true, there’d be no reason for you to stubbornly refuse to come with me this morning.”
“That’s because this is your workplace, In Ho. I didn’t want to be a nuisance.”
“What nuisance could you be? I’m just in the van when shooting.”
“Even so, there might be people who won’t see it positively. Your image is important, In Ho. I can’t spoil that.”
Su Yeon replied matter-of-factly.
Her face was as bright as ever.
That made In Ho feel even more upset.
“You don’t need to worry about that. If there’s anything to worry about, I’ll handle it. So, if being here with me isn’t hard or boring, if it’s truly fun and enjoyable, then just enjoy it. I’ll take care of the rest.”
He finished his words, taking a sip of his coffee, and intertwined their hands more firmly.
Su Yeon’s gaze helplessly fell on In Ho.
Just a few words and a sip of coffee, yet he looked so admirable.
She couldn’t understand why he appeared so charming.
With every breath, her heart throbbed heavily, her face flushed, and her breathing quickened.
It always happened.
Whenever she locked eyes and conversed with In Ho.
Since meeting In Ho, it had never been otherwise, but lately, these symptoms intensified.
Just that much, Su Yeon was overwhelmingly happy.
All these simple moments made Su Yeon wonder and fear if they were just a dream.
So much so, that if it were a dream, she wouldn’t want to wake up.
She was overwhelmed with happiness.
“As much as you’ve struggled because of me, I hope from now on, you’re only happy.”
“…….”
“I wish I could be that person for you.”
“…….”
“I’ve decided to be that person, though I’m still clumsy at it…….”
“…….”
“If there’s something you find hard or dislike, no matter what it is, I’ll try to fix it.”
In Ho’s eyes, filled only with Su Yeon, shone brilliantly.
There was not a hint of falsehood in them.
Her heart swelled too much.
So, Su Yeon had to avert her gaze like a fool.
How beautiful a man pouring out his heart could be.
This man is my husband.
Just the thought brought an indescribable happiness, making her flush.
“……There’s nothing like that.”
“If so, that’s good, but there might be such situations in the future.”
Despite her shy response, In Ho couldn’t shake off his worries.
As if sensing this, Su Yeon’s clear eyes sought In Ho’s.
Her tone was filled with certainty.
“There won’t be any in the future.”
“…….”
“As long as In Ho is by my side like this.”
She stood more resolute than ever.
“Staying by my side, holding hands, walking together.”
“…….”
“Meeting my eyes.”
“…….”
“And listening to what I say.”
Su Yeon gazed steadfastly at In Ho.
With their hands joined, and with her eyes.
“If you continue like this, I think I’ll always be happy.”
“…….”
“Perfectly happy.”
And she whispered her perfect happiness.
Su Yeon’s gently curved eyes resembled the distant moon.
So beautiful that In Ho couldn’t help but smile along.
His anxious heart washed away, replaced by calm.
“Happy, perfectly so.”
In Ho murmured to himself, echoing her words.
And took a sip of his warm coffee.
Just then, a cold winter wind blew towards them.
Instinctively, In Ho put their intertwined hands into his coat pocket.
His hand, already cold, slowly warmed up.
But for Su Yeon, it felt like warmth was spreading everywhere the wind touched.
Despite the harsh winter wind, as long as it was with In Ho, she felt she could endure it.
Happily, without a single complaint.
The next afternoon, Hye Kyoung, accompanied by Su Jin, headed to Han Kyung Gallery.
Arriving at the parking lot, she got out of the car and gazed at the building in the distance.
Han Kyung Gallery, run by Han Kyung Group, was the largest gallery in South Korea by land area.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
