He casually spoke words that seemed unlikely to be true and laughed warmly like a teddy bear. This person was none other than Sol’s new boyfriend, Hong Junho.
And his girlfriend genuinely enjoyed the silly joke. With a playful look, Sol exchanged claps with him.
“Oh, Joon! Eating together, shopping together while being sisters, and later even traveling together, and at the end, cursing at husbands together would be really fun.”
“Wow, I didn’t think that far, you’re indeed our powerful captain!”
It had only been a few days since they met, but Dajeong’s eyes narrowed sharply toward the man and woman who seemed to match so well. Something fatal that made any man bow down before Sol was undoubtedly present, but she couldn’t figure out why she kept getting betrayed and ending up in tears each time.
“Did Mr. Hong Junho say he’s the manager of a kimchi factory? Looks like the kimchi factory isn’t busy at all. If the manager of the kimchi factory isn’t at the kimchi factory but at the cafe, you see.”
Even though her eyes looked disdainful as she casually ridiculed, Hong Junho good-naturedly laughed.
“My part-timer quit without saying a word. What can I do? No matter how busy I am, I have to come out and help. I know Sol is delicate.”
He was a volleyball player! 10.3 seconds in the 100 meters! Catching cockroaches barehanded!
She had a lot to say, but unsure of what to say, Dajeong pressed her lips together and swallowed her saliva.
Meanwhile, Sol redirected the focus of the conversation.
“The problem is, Siwoo. Hong Gildong isn’t Hong Gildong for no reason, you. It’s okay now because Siwoo is young, so you can roughly accept it. If, after two days, the uncle you see once in a while turns out to be your dad, won’t that be more shocking? Then, from that point on, things will start to go awry.”
“Awry…?”
My son, the cutest and loveliest in the world? No way. It was inconceivable. Yet, Sol’s insight was not unreasonable.
It could be the secret of birth. In the end, if Dajeong kept it hidden and Siwoo found out the fact a bit more when he grew up, what then?
If that coincidence happened to coincide with the stormy adolescence period, the situation might flow in an even more uncontrollable direction.
Dajeong immersed herself in a serious expression, contemplating the possible scenarios. Suddenly, the rebellious face of Siwoo, who had entered adolescence, flashed before her eyes.
“Oh, X! What has Mom done to me that you’re meddling in? I’m going to go astray! So, don’t care about my life, XX!”
Dajeong vigorously shook her head, dispelling the horrific delusion that passed before her eyes.
Just imagining scenes and lines that could commonly be associated with the words ‘adolescence’ or ‘rebellion’ was enough to make her heart race, and tears threatened to pour.
Amidst the seriousness, there was a lively atmosphere in front. As if to say it was too much in front of people, Sol gave a sidelong glance, and then Sol playfully stuck her tongue out.
“If you envy it, go date too.”
“Who’s envious?!”
For some reason, Dajeong snapped.
“Oh my, or not. Why are you getting mad?”
“Enough! I’m leaving!”
Snatching the bottle with cosmos, Dajeong turned around with a thoroughly annoyed face and left the cafe.
I don’t know. Perhaps, seeing the overly affectionate behavior of the couple, her mood became sour for some reason.
Perhaps the contrasting images of the two people who had only met a short while ago with her own image were what made her feel deeply uneasy.
She ended up venting her frustration on her annoying friend, but strangely, the one Dajeong was angry with was herself.
For others, it seems so easy, and even adding a child to the relationship with the man. I don’t know why it feels so difficult and challenging for me.
Perhaps due to the vague time, the department store was surprisingly quiet.
Dojun stood in front of a pillar wrapped in white tiles. It was a location where he wouldn’t have difficulty finding her since it faced the front of the arrival point of the upward escalator.
Quietly gazing towards the escalator, Dojun raised his left arm and checked the time out of habit.
There were still about three minutes until the appointment time, but waiting time didn’t feel free at all. It was because he was confident that the person he was meeting would definitely appear within those three minutes.
Gradually, now a quite familiar face appeared above the escalator. She was a stylish woman with long orange hair cascading over one shoulder.
As intended by Dojun, Sookyung was able to spot him at once. When their eyes met, she smiled kindly.
“I didn’t make you wait, did I?”
Instead of a greeting, Dojun tapped the glass surface of his wristwatch.
“I saved you some time.”
Today marked the official fourth date between the two.
On the first date, they watched a movie and had pork belly and soju for dinner. It was a meaningful time where they enthusiastically joined forces as fans of Marvel’s villain, Dark Black.
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.
