The Vice-Chairman I Accidentally Found - Chapter 5
Did she think I was going to jump?
In fact, it wasn’t a suicide attempt. It was just his habit to climb high places when his thoughts got complicated.
“I am…”
As he was about to speak to clear up her somewhat absurd misunderstanding.
Tock.
“Huh?”
Startled by something that suddenly fell onto her nose, Su Ah’s eyes widened.
Tock. Tock.
It was a raindrop.
‘Huh? Did I just get rained on? It’s so clear out.’
In disbelief, Su Ah looked up at the sky.
Tock. Tock.
Another thick raindrop fell onto her forehead.
‘Wow. It’s really raining! There was no forecast for rain. And I didn’t bring an umbrella.’
Su Ah’s pupils began to shake in confusion.
“Let’s go.”
“Huh?”
Su Ah, who was flustered and hadn’t heard him properly, asked back.
“Let’s get down before it starts pouring.”
Ha Joon, with an indifferent expression, started walking down the mountain as if it were nothing.
“Hey! Wait for me!”
She quickened her steps towards Ha Joon, who was already far away.
She had heard that although it’s hard to climb a mountain, it’s easy to come down. Was that information wrong?
Somehow, it felt more difficult now than when she was climbing up.
“Huff. Huff.”
With each step she took, Su Ah’s ragged breathing could be heard.
And why is his pace so fast?
He’s like a heartless stork. Doesn’t he feel sorry for a shortlegged sparrow like me?
Biting her lip, she glared at Ha Joon walking ahead, when suddenly he turned his head.
What? Did he hear me cursing him?
Seeing him stop was her chance. Without a second thought, Su Ah hurried her steps.
As she approached him, he turned his body again and began to walk.
His steps were slower than before.
Could it be that he was waiting for me?
Regardless of the truth, Su Ah’s lips curved into a small smile.
Walking in step with each other, they soon arrived at the pension Su Ah had booked.
Just as the two were stepping inside to avoid the rain.
Whoosh! Flash! Boom! Bang!
As if it had been waiting, the rain started pouring in a threestep combo, with lightning flashing and thunder booming.
Both Su Ah and Ha Joon’s eyes filled with surprise.
“Did you book a place to stay?”
Breaking the silence, Su Ah asked.
“No.”
Ha Joon replied as if it was obvious.
After all, the initial plan was a day hike, and he had not at all considered the possibility of rain.
“Then, since it’s raining heavily and it’ll get dark soon, how about staying here for the night and leaving tomorrow? I’ll ask if there’s a vacancy.”
Not really asking for his response, Su Ah quickly walked towards the counter after speaking her piece.
The pension owner seemed frazzled, dealing with the sudden influx of people.
“Excuse me, do you have any rooms available? Even a small one is fine.”
“I’m sorry, but we’re fully booked right now.”
Of course. It was the weekend and she had barely managed to book a room. With the rain, there was no chance of a vacancy.
After a moment of consideration, Su Ah approached Ha Joon with a determined look on her face.
“They said there are no rooms available.”
“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me…”
“How about we share the room I booked?”
“Pardon…?”
As if he had heard something unbelievable, Ha Joon’s eyes widened.
In fact, Ha Joon wasn’t the only one who was surprised.
Su Ah, who had spoken the words, was equally astonished.
‘I must be crazy. Even so, to suggest sleeping together to a man I just met. How am I going to salvage this?’
Unlike the bold line she just uttered, Su Ah couldn’t even properly meet his gaze.
“What did you just say……”
“I said let’s sleep together!”
The water had already been spilled. Su Ah thought she had no choice but to push through and boldly declared it.
“……”
Did she even understand what she was saying?
Her behavior, which was beyond Ha Joon’s comprehension, was not only absurd but also curious.
“Don’t misunderstand. I’m suggesting this because I can’t just let a person with ill intentions go. It seems like there won’t be a problem as long as we stay apart.”
As if reading Ha Joon’s mind, she blurted out an excuse.
“You don’t have to go that far.”
“No. I do have to go that far.”
“I’m okay.”
“I’m not okay. I can’t ignore someone in trouble. I was born this way and can’t pretend not to know about your situation.”
“You can pretend not to know.”
Ha! You want to give it a try?
Su Ah felt something akin to stubbornness rising in response to Ha Joon’s repeated refusals.
“Then where will you spend the night? If you have a plan, then I’ll pretend not to know.”
“I’ll stay in the lobby…”
Suddenly, Ha Joon’s words stopped.
It was because he realized there was not a single vacant spot in the lobby due to the people who had come in to avoid the rain.
“You’ll do what in the lobby?”
Go on, say the next words.
“See? You have no choice, do you? There’s no space anywhere in the pension because of people in the same situation as you.”
“……”
“I checked the rooms earlier, and the bedroom and living room were separated. So, if one person sleeps in the bed and the other in the living room, it won’t be too uncomfortable.”
“……”
Su Ah’s face slightly contorted at Ha Joon’s lack of response.
No. After going this far, shouldn’t he at least say thank you?
Was it easy for me to suggest this?
Just as she was starting to feel upset, as if she was begging him to ‘please stay in my room for just one night.’
“……Then I’ll sleep in the living room.”
Ha Joon muttered in a barely audible voice and quickly turned his body away.
It was a desperate situation. Even the world’s Ha Joon had no other choice.
“Huh? Oh, yes!”
Trying hard to suppress her rising lips, Su Ah followed behind Ha Joon.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
