It seemed that Taeseok was the only one calm among the people in the elevator, either because he didn’t care about other people’s gazes or because he was so accustomed to receiving attention.
Sweat dripped down Yeoreum’s back. The journey from the 3rd basement floor to the 8th floor felt excessively long. The glances and whispers made her throat tighten. Taeseok, who didn’t even blink, was impressive.
‘Wow… Amazing. It’s Seo Taeseok.’
‘She’s pregnant.’
‘He even came to the hospital. Amazing.’
Although it was a very small voice, it sounded very clear. Yeoreum hid behind Taeseok.
However, the real ordeal began when the elevator doors opened.
Due to the nature of the building, the hospital was right in front as the door opened, and as the door opened, everyone’s gaze gathered in the direction Taeseok indicated, as if confirming their appointment. Nervous Yeoreum tiptoed.
By the time the two reached the counter, almost everyone was looking at Taeseok. At this point, it could be said that he had absorbed all the attention.
“Oh my, I think I’m crazy. It’s Seo Taeseok.”
He was a man who magically drew everyone’s attention.
The suffocating gazes frightened Yeoreum, and she tried to subtly withdraw her hand.
“Why are you pulling away?”
Taeseok, as if not understanding English, held her hand more firmly, balled it into a fist, and walked to the counter.
“It’s our first time here.”
“Amazing. Mr. Seo Taeseok. Is it really Seo Taeseok? It’s an honor. I’m a fan. I’m a really long-time fan. Congratulations.”
The nurse at the counter covered her mouth and almost cried out, as if overwhelmed with emotion. Starting from her voice, people began to murmur. Everyone remained frozen for a few seconds after Seo Taeseok appeared.
“Wow. I thought time had stopped.”
Someone’s joking voice was heard.
“Thank you.”
Taeseok responded with a smile that stirred hearts wildly.
“I-if it’s your first visit, please write down your registration form…”
Eventually, the nurse, overcome with emotion, cried. A colleague comforted her and said, “This friend is a real fan of Seo Taeseok. They worried a lot and supported you a lot during this incident.”
“Thank you. Please redo your makeup beautifully and come back. We’ll take a picture for you.”
Yeoreum handed the nurse the completed registration form. The nurse took her to a corner, checked her blood pressure, body temperature, and weight.
Since you didn’t make a reservation, there might be a wait. Please have a seat, and we’ll call you when it’s your turn.”
Compared to the university hospital, the women’s hospital was decidedly charming. The hospital’s characteristic white interior, firm plastic chairs, and the absence of anatomy drawings alone made Yeoreum like this place.
Warm wood-tone interior, green plants, cute baby and D-line pregnant women’s photos were hung everywhere. The sofa they sat on was also a soft yellow, and cushions for pregnant women were placed all over. There were also casually arranged light books for entertainment.
“Oppa, I like it here.”
“You haven’t even had your checkup yet.”
Taeseok was practical. He considered the doctor’s skills and professionalism more important, so he tried not to judge before seeing the doctor.
What if the sofa is yellow? The value of the hospital lies solely in the doctor’s skills. Perhaps because he was not a medical school student, he had an unnecessarily cold side.
“It looks like a maternity photo. Should I take a picture when my belly is that big?”
People still whisper and murmur. However, the commotion Yeoreum expected did not happen as a rush of people did not occur.
The hospital’s specificity might be one reason, and having the official fiancee next to him could be burdensome.
Moreover, most of the patients were pregnant mothers, which could be uncomfortable in itself.
“Oppa, this tree is a happy tree.”
Yeoreum pointed to a large pot next to her. The tree was taller than Yeoreum.
“It’s beautiful. I want to grow such a big tree too, but I’m afraid it might die. Did I tell you the story of how I almost killed and revived my Alocasia at home?”
“I’ll help. Let’s grow it together.”
Taeseok replied seriously. He said there was nothing as important as knowing Yeoreum’s interests. The big tree is called a Happy Tree. Yeoreum laughed as she watched Taeseok repeating it a few times.
Then, it happened. A visibly pregnant mother with a D-line that anyone could see approached cautiously and spoke.
“Um… I’m sorry… I’m really sorry for bothering you. Taeseok oppa, can I ask for just one autograph? I’m really a fan.”
Taeseok politely agreed and stood up from his seat. He suggested to let the pregnant woman sit and stood instead. The woman sat down and greeted Yeoreum lightly.
“What’s your name?”
“I’m Kim Yujin.”
“What’s the baby’s nickname?”
“It’s Haetsari.”
“Haetsari.”
Taeseok nodded and wrote something on paper. The woman, staring absentmindedly at the scene, finally said,
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.”
