“Are you a beast, Ban Jaehyuk?”
Instinctively lifting his head, he yelled to grab those lips. A strong force surged into his lower body.
However, he knew well that if he started now, he wouldn’t be able to stop easily.
“East Sea and Baekdu Mountain…”
He sang the national anthem silently in his mind, turning his steps while fighting his instincts.
A voice filled with laughter from behind reached his ears.
“Take care! Fighting!”
Jaehyuk immediately entered the elevator. Only after Arin’s figure disappeared did he release the tension in his clenched fist.
“Ha.”
There were nail marks inside his palm, indicating how tightly he had grasped.
The heat inside him had not yet cooled down.
It didn’t merely refer to his body.
His body and mind were still hot.
Whenever he heard the words “Take care” from the pretty lips of the woman he loved, his chest warmed.
Having someone to see you off and someone waiting for you at home were beyond words, it was so good that words were insufficient to express the happiness.
It was a happiness that he would never want to lose at any cost.
Lunch that day.
Arin headed to a workshop in Cheongdam-dong.
Now her mind had recovered enough for her to go out. Of course, she was accompanied by a security team for her outing.
Moreover, today’s outing was special. It was to pick up the birthday present for Jaehyuk that she had pre-ordered online.
“Here it is. I’ll check it for you.”
It was a custom tie pin and cufflinks made exclusively for him.
“Wow, it’s really beautiful.”
His initials were engraved on the tie pin, and a small logo she had made for him was embedded in the cufflinks.
Seeing the actual items, she felt like she was rewarded for the days of contemplation.
“How would you like the packaging?”
“Can I take this case with me now?”
“Yes, you can.”
“Then, I’ll take it like this.”
“Yes. If you’re here, I’ll repack it for you.”
While the employee was repackaging, she found the phone number to pick up the cake from the cake shop.
At that moment, a call came in.
[Arin, can I call you now?]It was Euna.
“Yes, I’m fine now.”
[I’m passing by near your house now. I called to have a meal together if you’re at home.]“Really? I’m outside now.”
[Outside? Where are you?]“Near Cheongdam Intersection.”
[Did you go out alone?]Arin quickly replied to Euna’s question.
“No. I’m with the security guards.”
[Ah, you’re out with Vice Chairman Ban. Why did you go out alone?]In a concerned call that came one day, Arin confided everything to Euna. Since that day, she started to pay more attention to me.
Her concern was not burdensome at all. On the contrary, I felt more at ease when I was with Euna.
“Oh, I’m looking for something today.”
[I see.]Euna came to Korea as a temporary consultant to VAN Group.
The suggestion came from Euna first, but because Arin enjoyed their time together, the two started having meals together once a week. So far, for Arin, who found it difficult to go out, it was Euna who came to her house.
However, today, for some reason, she didn’t want that.
“Mrs.”
[Yes?]“Would you like to have a meal outside today instead of at our house?”
[Ah.]Quickly adding to Euna’s hesitation, Arin spoke.
“If it’s not convenient today, we can do it next time.”
[No, it’s okay. I just felt like having a meal outside.]“It’s okay. The restaurant Oppa and I went to last time was very private.”
[Then that’s fortunate. I’ll go that way.]“No! I have security guards with me now, so you don’t have to come. I’ll give you the address; let’s meet at the restaurant.”
After ending the call, Arin left immediately and arrived first at the agreed-upon place. She entered her room.
And a little later, the door opened, and Euna came in.
“Are you okay?”
Droplets of sweat on Euna’s forehead entered her eyes.
When Arin offered a tissue, Euna accepted it, nodding slightly.
“You could have come slowly; I’m sorry. I just thought…”
In response to Arin’s words, Euna strongly held her hand.
“I wanted to come quickly. What do you want to eat?”
“Hmm. I want this and this. Should I ask to change the sauce for you?”
“When ordering, ask, I’ll do it, probably. Do you dislike peanuts?”
“No, I don’t dislike them.”
Arin put down the menu and locked eyes with Euna.
“I have a peanut allergy.”
Euna’s gaze shook visibly at her words.
“Why is that?”
Arin asked with concern as she looked at Euna.
“Mrs., besides peanuts, do you have…?”
“Yes?”
After a brief silence, Euna asked.
“Other than that… any allergic foods you can’t eat?”
“Oh, can’t eat?”
Instead of answering, Euna nodded.
“Well, yes. I can’t eat milk. It hurts my stomach. Later, I found out it’s lactose intolerance? Something like that. Most shellfish is okay, but I can’t eat shrimp because it doesn’t agree with me.”
“…”
“When I was young, I once fainted after eating shrimp tempura, but I didn’t know I had a shrimp allergy at that time.”
The more Arin spoke, the more Euna’s expression sank.
Euna’s heart soared.
‘A peanut allergy.’
Even my late husband had a peanut allergy.
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.”
