It wasn’t just about being handsome. He was a much kinder man than she knew. Proud to be a fan of Tae Seo Jun, Doh Soon saw him off to the shooting location outside the room.
“Have a safe trip…… Eh?”
She bowed and was late lifting her head, but Seo Jun was still there.
“Do you have something more to say……”
At Doh Soon’s words, Seo Jun scratched his forehead lightly with his long fingers and smiled kindly.
“Not really. Anyway, see you later.”
“Haha, yes.”
He was supposed to return before sunset, but strangely, his feet didn’t move easily. Still, it was fortunate that Eom So Yeon had Ye Doh Soon. Seeing Doh Soon’s smiling face, Seo Jun managed to move his feet, not too heavy.
A couple of hours later.
Seo Jun, like a valiant warrior, walked into the sandy beach.
With dozens of majestic horses and numerous extras, the beach set for a horse and carriage chase felt like a full effort was put in.
“Alright, we start shooting in 5 minutes! Safety officers, keep blocking vehicles entering the beach, and riders, gather behind the flag!”
The staff with the loudspeaker gave orders, and those deployed in the shooting area moved in an orderly manner, maintaining tension.
Seo Jun, mounted on a carriage, suddenly felt Eom So Yeon’s scent at the tip of his nose. It was possible since he had been with her all night. But the fleeting longing didn’t stop at the fragrance; it spread far and wide.
Would it be insane to have been happy all night?
If being beside her, in pain, was better than any other time, does that make me mad?
I guess I was like that.
Eom So Yeon is in the room where Tae Seo Jun stayed.
It wasn’t from Jo In Ha, who left Spain immediately yesterday, but the news somehow reached Yu Jung Hwa’s ears.
Using the excuse of being close to Oh Min Jung, Jung Hwa, who spent a day in the hotel used by the drama production team, was just looking for a chance to meet Seo Jun.
But what kind of development is this?
There are hospitals in Cadiz city to admit that girl, so why keep her with him? If the rumor is true, wouldn’t it mean he’s openly dating Eom So Yeon, stirring up all the media? I’d be like a dog chasing chickens.
Jung Hwa, who couldn’t believe that Seo Jun could be taken by a mere single mother, and finding it hard to believe, rushed to Seo Jun’s room impulsively.
Coincidentally, Seo Jun had just stepped into the room, so he thought the bell ringer was Manager Bong.
He opened the door, and Jung Hwa, who barged in relentlessly, rushed to the inner bedroom to check who was on the bed.
“You two aren’t really dating, are you?”
Seeing Eom So Yeon asleep on the big bed, Jung Hwa immediately interrogated.
“Are you just taking care of her because she’s sick, in a foreign country, and you feel sorry for her?”
“…….”
Baffled, Seo Jun could only give her a disdainful look, telling her to leave.
“Why can’t you speak? Seo Jun, you’re not someone who meets just any woman!”
“You’re wrong. I meet anyone. Just not Yu Jung Hwa.”
“Why not give me a chance just once? I’ve missed Seo Jun so much. It’s been killing me.”
“…….”
“Come back to me. If you’re still angry, I’ll wait quietly until then.”
“…….”
What is this about? Seo Jun, utterly dumbfounded, just smirked without responding.
An ex-girlfriend unexpectedly came to hold him back and begged him. Could he accept the past breakup again? Is he really wavering now?
In fact, So Yeon had been listening to their conversation. She was still groggy but the low voice and the clear voice distinctly pierced her ears. However, she was in a situation too ambiguous to dare open her eyes.
When she woke up earlier, she told Doh Soon something. Despite the pain, despite the difficulty of enduring people’s gossip, she wanted to return home as soon as possible. That’s why Doh Soon was now preparing for the return in a room downstairs.
But now, there’s no more sound of conversation.
Realizing that the two had left the room only after opening her eyes, So Yeon suddenly felt all sorts of thoughts as she was left alone.
Are they starting over? Is that why they disappeared to another place without me? Am I truly just an intruder?
Ha, I can’t understand anything……
Was it the resentment that turned into pain, or the pain that created resentment? Unable to discern which came first, her body and mind throbbed even more. Her body temperature shot up. With every tick of the clock’s second hand, So Yeon’s heart felt increasingly suffocated and tormented.
But what is this feeling that seeing him would ease the pain? Longing and waiting for his return, So Yeon slipped back into unconsciousness.
And how much time had passed?
Seo Jun, checking the thermometer, sat beside the bed.
His long and straight fingers brushed her round forehead, eyes tightly shut, and pushed back her disheveled long hair behind her ear. Sensing his delicate touch, So Yeon couldn’t hold back the tears, despite trying to restrain the overwhelming sorrow.
Tears rolled down between her long eyelashes.
“Eom So Yeon… open your eyes.”
Seo Jun seemed to know already. That she had been asleep, but her consciousness was clear.
“Why didn’t you say you were in pain?”
“…….”
So Yeon looked at Seo Jun with softly opened eyes. She wanted to ask where he had been and what he did with Yu Jung Hwa. But those words just swirled on her tongue and were swallowed.
Afraid to cry, to become weaker, to be pitiful with unwarranted jealousy, to let suppressed sadness spill out again.
“Don’t want to answer?”
“…….”
“Then just listen. You are in a lot of pain right now. So much that it wouldn’t be strange for you to be hospitalized immediately.”
“…….”
“So, stay with me until you’re okay.”
“…….”
You’d be fine without me. You can live well. But I can’t. It’s better for me to long for you from afar than to struggle by your side. I think that’s better for me.
She couldn’t voice this either. But his tightly closed lips seemed to understand So Yeon’s intentions.
“So, you’ll leave with this ailing body?”
“……I want to leave.”
Just barely managing to utter one sentence…
You’re leaving?
His gaze, heavy on thin air, seemed to be deep in thought. Seo Jun spoke with a calm voice filled with a sigh.
“Let me ask just one thing. Is this the end for us? Really the end?”
“…….”
“Can you live well without seeing me, Eom So Yeon?”
No. It was the opposite.
I can’t live well without seeing this man.
But I have a reason I must live well. I don’t want to be a burden to someone who can take me in but doesn’t know how to let go, who might drift away from me anytime, who can never be mine forever.
Even if I could cling to this man as a mother of a child, how could such a life be happy? This man is holding on to me now due to some deficiency, and when that is filled, he won’t look only at me.
So, it’s right to end it here, to end with the memories of short but beautifully sufficient Malaga.
My thoughts are probably right.
Probably.
So Yeon was too exhausted to even be sure if her judgment was correct or not.
Yet, she ultimately answered with a weak nod of her head.
…Yes.
That’s what she 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.”
