Assuming that Eun Soo hadn’t heard her question correctly, the doctor repeated it with emphasis.
“…No, it’s not like that.”
“I’ll give you medication for three days. If you feel like your condition is getting worse, please come back.”
“Yes, understood.”
Eun Soo said her goodbyes and stood up from her seat.
Hyuk Joo, unaccustomed to formal consultations, remained standing with a stern expression. Anticipating that he might have a word with the doctor, Eun Soo pulled his arm.
“Let’s get going.”
“…Alright.”
After leaving the hospital, the two headed to a nearby pharmacy to collect their medication.
“Eun Soo.”
“Yes.”
“I’ll be around, so if you feel unwell, even slightly, call me.”
“You don’t need to do that. You should go to your company now.”
“I took a leave.”
“A leave?”
“I mentioned that I would take a leave after coming back from a business trip, don’t you remember?”
“Ah…”
Only then did she recall. Hyuk Joo had said he would take a few days off after returning from his business trip to Dubai.
Feeling it awkward to push someone who had taken a leave to go, Eun Soo didn’t add anything more.
As she was about to get in the car, she saw the fern soup restaurant across the street.
She remembered when she had met Saet Byeol before, how she had eaten the weirdlooking fern beef soup deliciously.
Was it because she had skipped breakfast?
Suddenly, she felt hungry.
“…Hyuk Joo.”
“Hmm?”
“Do you want to have a meal?”
“Sure.”
Hyuk Joo had thought that after visiting the hospital and coming out of the pharmacy, Eun Soo would only be left to discharge him. Hence, he had added that he would stay here for a few days, informing her about his leave.
He thought he would be declined again resolutely, but he was delighted at the unexpected meal proposal, as if he had been granted a miracle.
“I saw a Korean set meal restaurant on the way here.”
“A set meal?”
“Yeah. You liked the seaweed salad last time. Since it’s Jeju Island, I thought they might serve seaweed salad.”
“How about fern beef soup instead?”
“Fern beef soup?”
“It’s right in front of us.”
“…Sure. Let’s go there.”
Following behind Eun Soo, who was walking towards the fern beef soup restaurant, Hyuk Joo tilted his head. As far as he knew, the fern beef soup sold in Jeju Island was different from the usual beef soup.
Did her taste change while staying in Jeju Island for a few days?
However, it was strange since she was a person who didn’t like pork itself.
Before Hyuk Joo’s question could vanish, Eun Soo completely cleared her bowl as soon as the fern beef soup came out.
Hyuk Joo’s eyes narrowed at the sight.
He cut the opening of the medicine pouch and held it out in front of Eun Soo.
“You should take your medicine.”
“…I’ll take it a bit later.”
“You always took medicine after eating. If you take it later, your stomach will hurt.”
“…”
Hyuk Joo took a sip of water. After placing the cup on the table, he stared into Eun Soo’s eyes and said.
“Eun Soo.”
“…”
Seeing Eun Soo remain silent, Hyuk Joo’s eyes filled with doubt.

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.
