Yeoreum rubbed her drowsy eyes, but Tae-seok didn’t easily allow sleep.
“Open your eyes. I said I wouldn’t let you sleep.”
Persistently tickling her ears, he breathed warm air. Yeoreum half-opened her sleepy eyes. Even her drowsy gaze stimulated Tae-seok’s senses.
He knew about a hundred ways to wake Yeoreum from her sleep.
“……Oppa, please let me sleep.”
But Tae-seok kissed her while breathing in her breath. In this strange situation, when Yeoreum giggled, a similar-sized dimple formed on Tae-seok’s lips.
“I don’t want to put you to sleep. Choi Rabbit.”
“No. I’m really, really sleepy.”
Tae-seok locked eyes with Yeoreum and stared silently. After exhaling a short breath, he nodded.
He could have forcefully awakened her, but there were still many days ahead. Tae-seok decided to gradually erase the impatience stamped in his heart.
He was well aware that the time he missed and the anxiety of losing again made him more persistent. Even though he knew he had to let go now, it wasn’t easy, and he kept clinging more.
“Okay. I’ll let you sleep.”
“And stop acting recklessly. I’m really… so embarrassed and worried…”
Yeoreum mumbled, closing her eyes. Tae-seok lightly kissed her eyelids and covered her with a blanket.
“There’s no need to hide now.”
Assuming there were no special incidents, the shoot was scheduled to wrap up in a month. Pre-production provided plenty of flexibility. Except for the inability to immediately respond to viewer feedback, it was a perfect environment.
‘What should I do from now on.’
Lost in deep thought, Tae-seok comforted Yeoreum. He would try to handle things as neatly as possible, but he didn’t think there would be no disturbances. In the process, he worried that Yeoreum might get hurt again.
‘Ji Hyun-jung wouldn’t just take it lying down……’
A long and messy fight was expected, and he had somewhat accepted the fact that his image would be tarnished. Prepared for the worst-case scenario of becoming the protagonist of the video if it got out, he was determined.
It didn’t matter to him, but if it happened, Yeoreum would be greatly disappointed. Afraid that he might regret confessing, he was scared that if she ran away again…
‘That won’t work.’
Once this matter was resolved, he was determined not to engage in such relationships again.
Love was more uncertain and ambiguous than anything else, making them both foolish. Tae-seok needed a more solid fortress.
Marriage.
He made up his mind as he kissed Yeoreum’s forehead, who had fallen into a deep sleep. This time, he would completely make her his.
So, watch and see how well I handle it.
The next day, K contacted him again.
[Phone analysis is roughly done. But about P Entertainment’s Shin Min-cheol? It was known that they were on good terms, but it’s not true. Ji Hyun-jung has someone watching Shin Min-cheol.]Tae-seok’s forehead tightened.
If we focus only on Ji Hyun-jung’s revenge, the story of Shin Min-cheol is actually irrelevant and could be ignored.
Whether they got along or not, it had nothing to do with Yeoreum. But something bothered him. Once he knew Ji Hyun-jung’s true colors, their divorce seemed different.
Rumors circulated about a divorce due to Shin Min-cheol’s affair, but when he thought there might be another reason, he wanted to ask Shin Min-cheol.
After much contemplation, Tae-seok made an appointment with him.
“Someday, I knew a day like this would come. I had a bunch of remarks prepared for that time. I’ve forgotten them all now. Hey, you. This is because you came late, later than I expected.”
Shin Min-cheol, who used an awkward expression and unconventional language, suddenly reproached Tae-seok. Tae-seok responded quite incredulously.
“I haven’t said anything yet.”
“Why did you divorce? That. I knew you’d come to ask.”
“Why?”
Instead of answering, Shin Min-cheol offered coffee. The coffee didn’t taste good.
“Is it bitter?”
“I’ll give you canned coffee.”
Going to the refrigerator, Shin Min-cheol took out a can and placed it in front of Tae-seok, clearing away the paper cup.
“She liked another man, so I just let her go. Am I not cool?”
“Be serious.”
“This is serious.”
Tae-seok hesitated for a moment. If the ‘other man’ Shin Min-cheol mentioned referred to himself, he couldn’t tell when such feelings began. He thought Shin Min-cheol, who seemed quite quick-witted, was an unbelievably naive guy.
Moreover, if that man really was him, Tae-seok felt sorry for the once-friendly Min-cheol, even though he never shared his feelings with Ji Hyun-jung. Despite that, thanks to Seo Tae-seok, Shin Min-cheol became a divorced man.
In that case, shouldn’t Shin Min-cheol know the truth about Ji Hyun-jung?
“Hyung, how’s your relationship with President Ji these days? I’m just asking because it doesn’t seem to be going as well as it’s known.”
“Nothing special.”
Shin Min-cheol, who had been answering leisurely, suddenly brightened his eyes and asked.
“But hey, you don’t call her ‘nuna’ anymore.”
Tae-seok didn’t respond to that comment.
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.
