Younger Man at Work (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 105
There was an evening banquet at the hotel after the Korea Construction Grand Award ceremony. Seung Joo, who wasn’t even in the mood to force his usual business smile today, pretended to stay at his seat for just a moment before slipping away and heading straight back to his room.
The short winter daylight had already faded before six o’clock, and night had fallen early. Moonlight poured onto the dark ocean. Stepping out onto the terrace and gazing quietly at the gently rippling sea at night, he couldn’t help but think of the woman he’d left behind in Seoul.
She’d lived a life far removed from anything good, delicious, or beautiful—yet she’d been overjoyed by even the smallest things. Whenever he cooked for her, she’d eat anything, saying again and again how delicious it was. Even a mere coat costing a few hundred thousand won could make her happy as though she owned the whole world.
How happy she’d be right now if she were here, seeing this beautiful night sea—for someone who’d never even boarded a plane before.
Yet the last words he’d said to Eun Seo had been this:
“Do you even like me?”
Of course he knew. He knew she did.
“Seung Joo, I’ve met someone I like.”
Just recalling what she’d said in front of the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve still made his chest tighten so painfully that he had to deliberately exhale a deep breath even now.
Though he’d known it all along, yesterday jealousy had blinded him completely, and he’d ended up snapping angrily.
After cooling down and reflecting, he realized: Of course she could stare openly at Chris—he existed only on a screen—whereas he himself was still someone she found too intimidating even for casual physical contact.
That was exactly why he shouldn’t have gotten so angry. If only he’d gently coaxed her instead, saying something like, “Don’t you think my body’s better than that kid’s? Why not take a closer look?”—he might have even turned that moment into a chance to create a perfect, tender atmosphere.
“You weren’t even looking at me properly!”
Like any clueless beginner in love, he’d foolishly shouted and lost his temper.
“Sigh…”
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
Trigger warning: All men in this novel are yandere style.
