Clank. The sound of the iron bars echoed loudly. Junghyuk couldn’t hide his awkward feelings. Even though the distance he could reach and touch was so close, the space where Dajeong was felt unusually cold.
“Mr. Cha Junghyuk. Something went wrong.”
Dajeong grasped the iron bars and approached closely. There were many things they hadn’t had a chance to share while spending time with Siwoo. Only about 5 minutes of the remaining time were allowed.
Her joint knuckles turned white as she clenched the iron bars tightly. Junghyuk covered her cold hands even without asking.
“I know. Someone must have framed you. You won’t be sent to the prosecutor’s office. So, endure it a little longer. It won’t take long. Okay?”
It was a speech meant to boost courage, but oddly enough, his voice trembled. Fortunately, Dajeong remained composed.
“Don’t worry about me. But more importantly, this.”
Dajeong reached into her pants pocket. After fumbling around, she pulled out a small wad of tissue. Carefully unfolding it revealed artificial nails with red nail art.
As if questioning what this was, Junghyuk looked at Dajeong, who hurriedly explained.
“I found this on the floor of the kindergarten director’s office. It seems related to the marks on Siwoo’s body. They were pinches and scratches. This could be evidence.”
The moment he saw the artificial nails with small cubic patterns forming stripes on a red background, a certain scene flashed through Junghyuk’s mind.
At the moment when he was smashing the director’s office display case, Oh Hyeona’s nails wrapped around her head were similar to these. One of them was missing, and she had a bare fingernail.
“Got it. I’ll investigate in any way possible.”
“And Siwoo needs to go to the hospital for an examination.”
“I heard he received surgery at the surgical department during the day. They said there was no major issue…”
“Not that. Siwoo doesn’t remember having such marks on his body. He took a nap during nap time and woke up with these. If these marks appeared while he was asleep and remained undisturbed, that’s strange. He should have felt pain… Please do a blood test.”
“Okay, I’ll do that.”
“Also… and also…”
Perhaps pressed for time, Dajeong, who poured out her thoughts like a rapid-fire, held the iron bars and thought about whether there was anything else to insist on.
Junghyuk clasped Dajeong’s nervously trembling hands. Dajeong’s gaze rose in the warmth.
“What about Yoo Dajeong? Is Yoo Dajeong okay? What… What can I do for you? Tell me.”
Only then did a relieved smile spread across Dajeong’s lips.
“Take care of our Siwoo, please.”
“That’s a given. I’m his dad.”
“Thank you. That’s enough for me.”
Junghyuk let out a bitter chuckle and rested his forehead against the iron bars.
“What about Cha Junghyuk? What can I do for Cha Junghyuk?”
Junghyuk closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath. Unable to do anything and feeling like tears would flow at any moment, he didn’t take any action.
“Then… give me a hug…”
Seeing him like a child, Dajeong smiled wryly. Then, reaching her arms out through the bars, she embraced the back of a man who couldn’t entirely fit in her arms.
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.”
