When I Reach You (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98
Eun Jae, seated on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, shivered involuntarily at the chill in the air.
Though the living room remained dark without any lights on, her eyes—accustomed to the darkness—clearly made out the shapes of objects around her.
For instance, Seon Woo’s back as he stood in the kitchen, shirtless, brewing herbal tea, or the scattered clothing strewn haphazardly from the island counter all the way to the sofa.
For a moment, Eun Jae hesitated whether to get up and gather the clothes, but instead she pulled the blanket resting on the sofa over herself, wrapping her bare body tightly.
It hadn’t even been long since he’d left her side, yet the warmth that had enveloped her just moments ago was already fading fast.
Crouching on the sofa, Eun Jae gazed blankly out at the rain falling outside. Even the moonlight, which had hidden earlier, now peeked out again, and the rain had visibly lessened.
Pitter-patter—the pleasant sound of raindrops tapped rhythmically against the windowpane.
Eun Jae rose slightly, perching herself on the sofa’s headrest. Pressing close to the glass, she exhaled a soft “Haa—,” fogging the pane, then traced her finger across the moistened surface.
There, she wrote a familiar name, and afterward drew a heart beside it. As she debated whether to fill in the heart, Eun Jae let out a quiet chuckle.
Though she knew it was childish, it was a little prank she’d always wanted to try—just once.
“What’re you doing?”
Startled by the sudden voice, Eun Jae hastily erased the writing with her palm. Seon Woo set a warm cup of herbal tea down before her and asked,
“Aren’t you tired?”
It was already 2 a.m. Whispering, Seon Woo settled beside Eun Jae and wiped the moisture from her hand onto his own thigh.
“I already saw everything you wrote.”

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
