Wujin’s movements, from heating up the lunchbox to bringing it to the table, were very cautious.
Observing each of his actions as if watching a performance, Seoyoung carefully selected matching pairs of utensils and neatly set the table.
As Wujin took a sip of water, Seoyoung, with an “Ah” sound, touched her mouth.
“Does it hurt? Is it serious?”
Seated across from her, Wujin asked seriously. Seoyoung, still sipping water with a slurping sound, replied.
“I thought only my face was swollen, but it seems my mouth is torn a bit.”
“What should we do? It’s making my already ugly face even uglier.”
“This guy, isn’t he ugly? On a global scale, Korean women are recognized as beautiful! Ah, ow…”
As Seoyoung, wrapping her mouth with her hand, exaggerated, Wujin sighed and stood up from his seat.
Approaching her cautiously, his broad chest seemed to lean toward her, and then his long arms gently pulled her into an embrace.
“Why all of a sudden? Feeling sorry for me?”
“…I’m sorry. It was just a little joke, but… I didn’t know it would get this bad. I’m sorry.”
“It’s Seolwoojin’s fault, huh? I endured and got hit because I wanted to show off a bit.”
Then, Wujin detached himself and asked seriously, “Shall I properly show the meaning of an apology?”
Seoyoung’s face turned slightly pink.
“Well, what are you going to show properly?”
“As an apology, shall I show you up to where? How far should I go?”
“Ack! Seolwoojin, you’re crazy! This isn’t audacious; it’s a disease!”
Even though Seoyoung shouted while covering her face with both hands and spreading her fingers to secure visibility, Wujin just chuckled and went back to sit across from her.
“As long as your nose isn’t broken, we don’t need to go to the hospital, right? You should decide; I don’t know your condition. Don’t regret it later.”
“I really don’t need to go to the hospital. Really. If there are any aftereffects later, I’ll claim medical expenses.”
Smiling, Seoyoung said, but Wujin, looking at her with a concerned expression, spoke seriously.
“Kim Seoyoung, what will happen if I keep getting hurt because of me? Last time, I broke my leg, and now my face is broken. If your mom finds out, she won’t just oppose it; she’ll probably try to kill me.”
“That’s why be good to me from now on.”
“I’m trying my best to be good.”
“Try harder, more. I’m still thirsty.”
“How can I make Kim Seoyoung’s throat not dry?”
When Wujin asked, as if wanting to console a child, Seoyoung suddenly wanted to act cute. They were at the resort… they even met fans…
“My birthday is next week. Will you give me a nice birthday present?”
At the mention of her birthday, Wujin’s eyes widened slightly.
“What kind of birthday present do you want?”
“…I want to go to the movies with Seolwoojin.”
Then, his facial expression changed quickly. Worried that this might still be too much, Seoyoung offered an excuse.
“If it’s too hard, we can rent out the entire movie theater. No one else can come in. I’ve seen it in dramas; the male leads from chaebol families do that kind of thing.”
In response to Seoyoung’s words, Wujin frowned.
“As Grandpa always says, it’s an abuse of money and power. Spending money on unnecessary things, preventing others from watching movies during that time.”
Movies and reality seemed different. Still, a chaebol boyfriend who rented out an entire cinema for his girlfriend seemed cool.
“No, am I doing this for myself? Is Seolwoojin suggesting this for himself because Seolwoojin sees people having a hard time?”
Although Seoyoung responded to Wujin’s excuses, he remained silent, pressing on the pork belly in his mouth.
Whether it was about money, abuse, or power, for Seoyoung, he wanted more than just a movie theater.
But even if they rented a theater, the path to the screening room and the staff there couldn’t be avoided…
In various ways, stress was inevitable for Wujin. Crucially, in a movie theater, they wouldn’t describe scenes like in OTT, so accurate understanding might be impossible.
Still… should they check it out once? How much does it cost to rent a movie theater?
As Wujin remained silent, Seoyoung responded playfully.
“Don’t take it too seriously. It’s just something I said, just that. Besides, don’t they only show scenes in a movie theater without explaining them? Only dialogues come out, right? Then Seolwoojin won’t enjoy it. On my birthday, let’s watch OTT at your place, Wujin. A lot of interesting things have been uploaded lately, haven’t they?”
“Kim Seoyoung.”
“Yes?”
“…I’m sorry.”
“What is it…”
“…Your nose is hurt.”
Actually, there was something else he felt sorry for, but he just mentioned the nose. Seoyoung also knew what he was sorry for, but she accepted it as just the nose.
“Since it’s not broken, it’s okay. Besides, I ran into it, so it’s half my fault.”
“…Okay.”
For a while at the dining table, only the sounds of utensils and chewing were heard.
Due to recent poor performance, ominous rumors circulated within the company. There were talks about a large-scale reduction in personnel.
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.”
