Yeo Woon, who responded with notatall fine pronunciation, turned around and walked away briskly. Even though she was obviously walking forward, Yeo Woon’s feet kept moving sideways like a crab.
Yeo Woon bit her lip hard.
Her vision was spinning, her face was hot, and even though she needed to go home, she didn’t know where she was. And most of all…
Her stomach was in knots. No matter how pathetic she looked now, she didn’t understand Seol Ji Oh, who pretended not to know her until the very end.
Did the time we spent together mean nothing to Seol Ji Oh?
Suddenly saddened, Yeo Woon stopped walking. Even if it wasn’t a tearful reunion, wasn’t it too much to ignore and pretend not to know each other like this?
Even if she got hurt, she wanted to ask Seol Ji Oh why.
Yeo Woon clenched her fist tight and swiftly turned around.
“Hey!!!”
Yeo Woon, with her face flushed red, yelled at Seol Ji Oh. Then, staggering towards Seol Ji Oh, she looked up at his face and said,
“Why are you pretending not to know?!”
For a moment, Seol Ji Oh stopped, his lips slightly parted as he looked at Yeo Woon. Confusion swirled in his blinking eyes.
“…What are you talking about?”
“I’m Yeo Woon! Yeo Woon!!!”
“Do I…need to know you?”
At Seol Ji Oh’s words, Yeo Woon’s eyes widened and she looked at him as if she had lost her words. Seol Ji Oh too, with a frown on his forehead, looked down at Yeo Woon with a bewildered expression.
Just blinking. Their confusing eye contact continued.
Suddenly, Yeo Woon bit her lip. Then, with one hand, she quickly covered her mouth. Perhaps it was because she had moved too intensely in a short period of time, a storm raged inside her.
Seol Ji Oh looked at Yeo Woon as if he couldn’t believe it. He did not forget to step back.
In a moment of crisis, Yeo Woon hastily turned her body.
“Ugh…!!”
Yeo Woon, who had made a mess in a corner, only came to her senses when her retching stopped. A siren rang loudly in her head.
I’m crazy. What am I doing?
Feeling her hair stand on end, Yeo Woon slowly turned her head towards Seol Ji Oh. And then she saw it. On Seol Ji Oh’s pants… her own trace.
Yeo Woon’s mouth fell open. At the same time, the cigarette Seol Ji Oh was holding fell to the ground.
“What… are you doing?”
Seol Ji Oh’s voice had grown cold.
“I’m ssorry!”
Yeo Woon, with a sorry heart, bowed her head to inspect Seol Ji Oh’s pants, but Seol Ji Oh stepped back with an irritated motion. As a result, she lost her balance and crumpled to the floor.
“Ugh….”
Yeo Woon sat down on the ground, clutching her dizzy head. Everything was a mess.
Watching this, Seol Ji Oh sighed as if he couldn’t believe it and touched the side of his neck with one hand.
“Hey. Get up.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry….”
“Get up! Want to get photographed?”
Seol Ji Oh’s voice became sharp. For a celebrity like Seol Ji Oh, there must have been paparazzi pointing cameras at him from hundreds of meters away.
The sight of him with a woman sitting on the ground was not good for Seol Ji Oh. Yeo Woon, startled, got up from her spot. Seol Ji Oh took out his cell phone and made a call somewhere.
“Manager. Please come here right away. And bring clothes. Yes. Top to bottom.”
While Seol Ji Oh was on the phone, Yeo Woon looked up at him while biting her nails.
After finishing the call, Seol Ji Oh sighed and looked at Yeo Woon. When Yeo Woon met his eyes, she lowered her head to apologize again. Then, Yeo Woon’s body swayed once more.
“Ugh…”
Seol Ji Oh let out a deep sigh. There were clear wrinkles between his eyebrows.
“Miss Yeo Woon. I’ll take your apology when you’re sober. And be sure to pay the cleaning fee.”
Seol Ji Oh took a business card from his pocket and handed it to Yeo Woon. Then he got into a black car that had arrived and left without a word.
“Oh… I’m screwed.”
Yeo Woon wished she could just sink into the ground if she could.
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…
