“Bomi!”
The corridor was empty by now.
Walking towards the elevator, it was descending to the lower floors.
Regrettably, he let go of Bomi.
There wasn’t anything particular to say, but he didn’t know why he wanted to hold onto her.
“She’s gone.”
Jinhan, who became a recluse, had chosen to be alone, lowering the punishment on himself.
Even though he was sick, the will to recover quickly didn’t emerge like before.
The reason his condition didn’t improve even when he was hospitalized was that this space had become Jinhan’s refuge.
During his illness, he regretted the arrogance and foolishness he had shown.
It was difficult to admit that the success he had achieved so far was due to the influence of his father, Chairman Yoo, who had become a public enemy.
Accepting reality, he realized that the current possessions he had were meaningless.
Nothing brought joy, and expectations had vanished.
Depression was digging a hole, attempting to reach the core, but unexpectedly, Bomi appeared and woke Jinhan up.
This night, an unforeseen longing overwhelmed him.
A sigh poured out to the point of bone-chilling cold.
“Bomi is not a girl.”
He tried to deny it, but thoughts and words played separately.
The night turned into dawn as he tossed and turned.
As the day brightened, Jinhan waited for Bomi.
If she said she was here to take care of him, he expected her to come today as well.
However, even if he stared at the hospital room door all day, Bomi never appeared.
“Is she playing hard to get?”
If you see someone naked, you should take responsibility; why isn’t she coming?
This was clearly cheating.
Feeling unfairly treated, Jinhan immediately called the nurse’s desk.
“I want to be discharged.”
The attending doctor came up, checked Jinhan’s condition, and advised him.
“Stress is the most dangerous. Especially for patients, extreme excitement is not good.”
“Is it not good to get excited in a positive way?”
“What?”
“Oh, no, can I be discharged now?”
“I’ll prescribe medication, so please wait a little.”
An hour later, Jinhan left the hospital.
Although he had been confined to the hospital for only a few days, it felt like the world had changed.
“Isn’t he the son of Chairman Yoo Jinho?”
“Really!”
People who recognized Jinhan whispered among themselves.
Feeling bothered for no reason, he immediately caught a taxi.
The journey home wasn’t smooth either.
The taxi driver kept glancing at Jinhan, avoiding eye contact, causing some trouble.
No wonder the effort put into being hospitalized seemed to be in vain.
The headache, which had disappeared, seemed to revive.
As soon as the taxi stopped, Jinhan got out.
“Ugh, annoying.”
Heading home, he took a shower.
After casually applying his usual skincare, he called Hwang Kyung-ok.
“I’ve been discharged.”
Well, you’ve worked hard.
“There’s something I need to ask.”
What is it?
“Do you happen to know where Bomi lives?”
Why do you need to know her address? She lives with her parents anyway. Call her.
“Just tell me where she lives.”
Hwang Kyung-ok described the location of Bomi’s house using words Jinhan was familiar with.
It was a neighborhood he knew well.
Hwang Kyung-ok explained the location of Bomi’s house to her son, mentioning her home address.
Jinhan had a sense of where it was, a neighborhood he knew well.
“I wonder if Bomi knows that I’ve been discharged and won’t come to the hospital?”
Despite unnecessary worries, he prepared to meet Bomi.
Even if it was just for a day, he was truly grateful for the care she provided at the hospital.
On the other hand, he also had thoughts like this, “For now, she’s more like a younger sister than a girl.”
With a stylish appearance, Jinhan left his house.
Soon, he arrived at a flower shop.
For Bomi, he ordered a large bouquet made of pure white lisianthus.
“Am I overdoing it alone?”
Before going to Bomi’s house, he called her.
After two attempts and no answer, he sighed.
He briefly considered giving up. Still curious, he decided to head towards Bomi’s house.
Even though he hadn’t done anything yet, he felt tense and repeatedly exhaled deep breaths.
“Here it is. I hope she’s not out.”
Bomi’s house was a two-story detached house.
With a high wall blocking the view, he took out the bouquet and pressed the doorbell.
Exhaling deeply, he waited for a response.
Suddenly, someone poked Jinhan’s back from behind.
“Who are you, mister?”
“Huh?”
When he turned around, it was a girl who looked like an elementary school student.
Puzzled, Jinhan stammered and pointed to Bomi’s house.
“Do you happen to live here?”
“Yes, this is our house.”
“Bomi’s sister?”
“Yes, I’m Bomi’s older sister.”
For a brief moment, Jinhan’s mind went blank, carefully choosing his words.
It was a bit rushed to be suddenly surrounded by Bomi’s sister.
“I’m Yoo Jinhan. I’m a friend of Bomi.”
“Our sister wouldn’t have an old friend like you.”
It seemed like sisters thought exactly the same way.
Emotionally moved, Jinhan regained composure.
“Look at me; I’m still young.”
“Anyway, you’re a mister.”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
