Yoonju, who was leaving work, noticed the familiar figure of a man standing at the bus stop. It was Director Yu.
Feeling awkward as they would be taking the same bus, she hesitated because they weren’t on friendly terms. As Yoonju pondered, the bus arrived.
Boarding the bus one by one, Yoonju grabbed the handle of the crowded bus filled with people leaving work. In the swaying bus, a strangely familiar scent filled the air.
‘Wow…’
Why was she so conscious of that man? She had no emotions.
Yoonju deliberately looked out the window to scatter the thoughts that kept coming up.
Clang!
Suddenly, as the bus stopped, Yoonju, unprepared for the moving bus, was pushed. Just before she could fall, someone grabbed her arm.
“Th-thank you.”
As Yoonju, who was surprised, nodded in thanks without raising her head, a familiar scent approached her nose. When Yoonju finally looked up, she realized that the person who had held her was Director Yu.
“Oh, Director.”
“Be careful.”
Director Yu, looking out the window as if he had caught sight of something, casually replied, seemingly unaware of when he had held her. Feeling embarrassed, Yoonju held the handle even tighter.
After getting off the bus, Yoonju hesitated whether to walk first or go slowly due to the embarrassment.
“Where is your home?”
Responding to Director Yu’s voice, Yoonju pointed in the direction of her house with her finger.
“It’s the 00 Apartments.”
Matching the floor without hesitation, Director Yu’s voice hit Yoonju awkwardly. She had needlessly worried herself.
“Shall we go?”
Thanks to Director Yu’s casual consideration of walking first, Yoonju could walk more comfortably. Now, she didn’t need to feel awkward when they accidentally met in the same direction toward their homes.
“Oh, I used the umbrella well that time. I’ll return it.”
“Yes.”
Entering the elevator, Director Yu pressed the floor first. When Yoonju, who hesitated, did not press the floor, he looked at her. Yoonju pointed to the floor that was already pressed.
“I live here too.”
This time, Director Yu seemed a bit surprised.
“Oh, okay.”
After that, an awkward silence hung in the air. How could they live in the same apartment on the same floor? It was a surprising coincidence.
Ding! As the sound rang out, like ice breaking and thawing, both of them moved simultaneously.
“Well, please be careful.”
Exchanging greetings or avoiding them, each stood in front of their doors and entered the password simultaneously. The sound of the lock being released was heard, and the doors closed simultaneously.
It was a series of awkward moments. Standing in front of the entrance with the door closed, Yoonju touched her forehead.
‘Ugh, what is going on?’
Her gaze naturally went to the black umbrella she hadn’t returned yet.
‘Should I secretly leave it in front of his house?’
As Yoonju pondered, she shook her head.
‘No, no. Why am I so concerned?’
She dismissed it as just a man from the same company and the same apartment, and Yoonju kicked off her shoes.
After leaving work and going out for dinner, beyond Jina and Jinwoo, the Han River sparkled as the sunset descended.
“My mother is coming to Korea next week.”
It was news that Jinwoo’s mother, who returned to the United States a month after attending the wedding, was coming to Korea in line with the childbirth.
“This time, she’ll stay for about three months. She wants to see her grandson and meet her friends in Korea.”
“I see.”
Jina nodded. Both sets of parents were excited about welcoming a new family member. As soon as they heard the news of childbirth, they knew she would rush to Seoul.
“Jinwoo, your father probably won’t come…?”
Jina’s question made Jinwoo close his lips.
“I don’t think he needs to come now.”
Jinwoo spoke with a somewhat heavy voice.
“Even so… He’s your father.”
In Jina’s view, Iljun loved Jinwoo as his son. He called Jinwoo in his final moments because he considered him his son.
“I lived without my father until I came to Korea.”
Jinwoo found his father’s presence rather unfamiliar. If he hadn’t been afflicted with a terminal illness, he would have continued living without his father.
“I have only one thing to be thankful for my father. Introducing me to my sister.”
Jinwoo drew a faint smile.
“I know my father made a big mistake. But I worry that if he goes back like this, your heart won’t be okay. He’s not well.”
He was aware that time was running out.
“Sister… I’ll take care of it.”
Jinwoo reached out over the table and firmly held Jina’s hand. Veins rose on the back of Jinwoo’s hand, conveying his anxious heart through the touch of Jina’s hand.
“I’m sorry for making you worry about my sister.”
It was an unexpected action from Jinwoo. Jina, slightly surprised, bit her lip as if undecided on what to say. Unable to decide, Jina quickly pressed her lips.
“I promised my mother. Not to become a man like my father. I won’t repeat the mistakes he made, especially hurting you.”
Jinwoo’s mother was his only family. Because of Jinwoo, she could endure her husband’s betrayal.
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.”
