“Still, I’ll be the one driving.”
So naturally, Jeho took the car keys from Yulri’s hand and said calmly.
“What are you doing now?”
Yulri looked at Jeho with a puzzled expression.
“I have something to say, but it’s not the right time here. Let’s go to my place first.”
“Why would I go to your place?”
“Then should we go to my studio?”
“If you have something to say, say it here. I won’t go anywhere with you.”
When she refused with a trembling voice, Jeho sighed low as if exhausted.
“Hoo, Minwoo…”
“Why Minwoo?”
But he couldn’t answer and just looked at her in silence. He couldn’t figure out where to start telling her.
Yulri still didn’t know what had happened to Minwoo. She hadn’t told her to avoid unnecessary anxiety. If he got arrested and investigated by the police, it would eventually come out in the media, and she would find out naturally.
However, unexpected things happened. Minwoo’s escape lasted longer than expected, and he disappeared without anyone knowing. The reason Jin, the teacher, called Yulri after that was because of this.
One day, he evaporated out of thin air, completely gone.
Not only in their sight but also in Manager Kwon’s view, he disappeared without a trace.
―They seem quite puzzled on that end too. He came and went without a word. The contact has completely cut off.
Even more serious was the report that it seemed like he had entered Korea secretly.
―Not sure, but it seems like he came by boat through Japan or China. So we are currently looking into it.
If Minwoo had illegally entered, Yulri’s safety would be seriously threatened. Such a serious story couldn’t be told in a place like this.
“I’m begging you. Please.”
At the word “please,” Yulri narrowed her eyes. His expression seemed quite serious.
“It will only take a moment. Please make time to hear me out.”
What is he trying to say?
After hesitating for a moment, Yulri eventually decided to accept his request. She couldn’t stand not knowing what kind of story this was if he left like this.
“Let’s go to Jeho’s place.”
She couldn’t let him come to the studio. She had worked so hard to erase his traces… Even recently, she had changed the bed and sofa they had used together. She couldn’t bear it because his image kept flashing in her mind.
If she walked out of Jeho’s house, it would be over. But her sanctuary was different.
“Thank you.”
Jeho, seating Yulri in the front passenger seat, took the steering wheel and headed to his house.
It seemed like a little more than a month had passed…
His house was just the same as when she last walked out. Everything was familiar, as if she had left this morning and returned again.
That’s why it hurt even more. Everything here remained the same, but because of the drastically changed relationship between the two…
Carefully surveying her surroundings, Yulri accepted the tea cup Jeho offered and sat on the sofa.
“So, what’s the story? Please finish it as soon as possible.”
To conceal her trembling emotions, Yulri deliberately spoke coldly. Jeho nodded lightly and took a seat opposite her.
“It might be uncomfortable to hear. But now you need to know… the situation has become a bit serious.”
“What kind of story is this?”
“Minwoo…”
Seemingly difficult to say outright, Jeho paused for a moment. Then, as if unable to hold back any longer, he slowly uttered the words.
“He killed someone.”
For a moment, Yulri looked at Jeho with an expression as if she had misheard. However, soon she realized she had heard it correctly, noticing the dark shadow that descended upon Jeho’s face.
“…That can’t be true.”
That was all she could say.
Until Jeho’s words were all finished, Yulri couldn’t say a word. Clenching her trembling hands tightly, she focused all her attention on what he was saying.
It was a story that could come out of a crime movie. However, unfortunately, the worst scenario was just beginning.
“…But a few days ago, Minwoo suddenly disappeared.”
He vanished like smoke at some point. How could that happen?
“Perhaps…”
Despite knowing it was an unnecessary concern, Yulri cautiously brought up a question.
“He didn’t become pessimistic about his situation and commit suicide, did he?”
“That’s definitely not it.”
As far as he knew, Kwon Minwoo was not someone who would commit suicide out of pessimism about his situation.
“Don’t be surprised and listen carefully. It seems like Minwoo has entered Korea.”
“…How is that possible if he’s being chased?”
She looked at him with an expression of disbelief.
“There are many ways to enter illegally.”
“But why Korea? It’s the second most dangerous place for Minwoo after France. If he wanted to run further, I don’t know, but… Ah.”
For a moment, Yulri stopped speaking as if she had realized something, and then, with an expression that showed uncertainty about whether her speculation was correct, she looked at Jeho’s face and spoke slowly again.
“…Is it because of me? Did he come to see me?”
“Probably.”
Jeho answered briefly, his expression solidifying.
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.”
