At Sunwoo’s words, Ra Jin laughed as if she couldn’t believe what she heard.
“You still have a way with cheesy lines, don’t you, brother?”
“Do I? Haha.”
“But it’s fascinating. How the timing worked out so perfectly.”
“It’s called fate.”
“Oh, come on.”
Hiding his sincerity behind laughter was nothing new for Sunwoo.
Yet, at this very moment, it felt as if he and Ra Jin were genuinely bound by destiny.
She arrived while he was waiting. They hadn’t even contacted each other.
This small coincidence made his heart race, fluttering wildly.
“Can I be more cheesy?”
“Even if I told you not to, you would.”
“You really do know me well, Ra Jin.”
Can you imagine how happy it makes me to be able to say that?
It feels like proof of how close we’ve become, that you can anticipate my reactions.
Sunwoo said, with genuine feelings hidden behind his playful tone,
“It’s been a while, but you still look stunning. Makes my heart flutter.”
Ra Jin smirked, narrowing her eyes.
“That was even cheesier than I expected.”
“Haha. You know, it’s really funny when you make that face.”
“I never realized. I guess my face is quite amusing.”
“Why?”
Unintentionally, Ra Jin almost mentioned ‘Mr. Jae Heon’ but slightly shook her head.
‘Pull yourself together! Our agreement cannot be disclosed to anyone.’
She steadied herself, recalling the third clause, ‘Ensure the agreement remains confidential’.
“I’ve heard similar things from someone else.”
A sense of unease brushed through Sunwoo.
“That someone… Is it… Jae Heon?”
Ra Jin nodded.
“Yes, it is.”
Throughout their previous phone conversations or when they met at alumni events, Ra Jin never mentioned Jae Heon.
Even when others inquired about him, she only mentioned that apart from being her senior, he was her boss, so she couldn’t provide any details.
Sunwoo clenched his fist inside his pocket, but outwardly remained calm.
“You two must have grown quite close.”
“We’ve been working together for about four years.”
“Four years… Right, it’s already been that long.”
Four years is quite a duration. Enough for them to have casual conversations. Actually, even longer than expected.
“I’m glad to see you’ve gotten closer.”
Words without real sentiment. Mocking himself, he chuckled upon seeing Ra Jin’s reaction.
Even when she scowled or pulled a disgusted face, Ra Jin looked irresistibly cute.
…Did she look the same in Jae Heon’s eyes?
She must have. How could anyone’s heart remain cold after seeing such an endearing sight?
‘Is the time truly approaching? The time to end this unrequited love.’
Sunwoo knew that Ra Jin had feelings for Jae Heon.
During college, from the moment he first fell for freshman Ra Jin, he noticed where her gaze often lingered. And naturally, he realized where her attention was directed.
Library entrance. The shortcut from the green field to the parking lot. In front of the college bulletin board.
Then he realized, wherever Ra Jin looked, Jae Heon was always there.
At first, he dismissed it as a mere coincidence. After all, while everyone was eager to engage with Jae Heon, only Ra Jin seemed indifferent.
But then, he once saw Jae Heon and Ra Jin exchange words behind the library.
Watching Ra Jin’s gaze linger on Jae Heon until he was out of sight and noting her blushing cheeks, Sunwoo finally recognized her feelings. That night, he drank heavily, probably the most he’d ever drunk in his life.
But no matter how drunk he was, the image of Ra Jin’s gaze constantly focused on Jae Heon never faded.
“Ra Jin can look at someone with that kind of expression… She’s never looked at me that way…”
Although Sunwoo was quite popular, if Ra Jin’s type was Jae Heon, he didn’t stand a chance.
‘Seo Jae Heon is the exact opposite of Jung Sunwoo’. They were polar opposites.
If Jae Heon was a charismatic, cold beast dominating his territory, Sunwoo was like a warm and gentle sunlight.
Not just in personality but even in appearance, they were polar opposites.
Jae Heon was slightly taller and more robust than Sunwoo, had darker hair, eyebrows, and eyes, and his facial features were more prominent.
There were no commonalities between them whatsoever.
However, in some ways, Ra Jin and Jae Heon were similar.
They both had captivating beauty but carried a cold, expressionless facade making them unapproachable.
Their focus on their own tasks, seeking high efficiency, and achieving their goals in the shortest possible time were also similar traits.
He knew he had to give up. There was no other option.
Even from a man’s perspective, Jae Heon was nothing short of perfect, and Ra Jin was an incredibly stunning woman. Objectively speaking, they made a perfect pair.
So, he resolved,
‘If the two start dating, I’ll end these feelings.’
But Ra Jin never seemed to confess her feelings to Jae Heon.
She merely observed him from a distance, and once he was out of sight, she went her own way.
Jae Heon, too, did not show any special interest in Ra Jin and treated her just like everyone else.
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.”
