“Say it.”
“…”
“If you want, I’ll find out somehow.”
After saying that, he checked the watch on his wrist once and continued speaking.
“There are too many watchful eyes at the hospital, so let’s skip Yang Shin-hwi for now and start with Jane. How about that?”
“How will you find out?”
“I told you before.”
There are two ways to reveal the identity of a mongma.
Either she reveals it herself.
Or finding the number engraved somewhere on her body.
So, the answer to how he will uncover Jane’s identity was obvious.
“…Is that easy for you?”
Considering it had been quite a while since she uttered a word, it was quite a meaningless and amusing question.
He silently captured the complex and subtle distortion on Kang’s face during the seemingly long silence.
Then, with a slightly delayed response:
“Whether it’s easy or not, I’ll do it if it’s what you want. Willingly.”
His expression as he said that was so solemn that the thought of him enjoying making excuses crossed her mind.
Her eyes, stained with confusion, trembled finely.
And that tremor distinctly manifested in her voice.
“Why are you going to such lengths for me?”
In response to the words that flowed out like a mumble, he approached closely and bowed his waist.
The distance became a bit closer, and while San looked at Kang with a gentle expression, he slowly spoke.
“You.”
“…”
“Because it’s my wish.”
Seeing her silent response, he smiled a little.
“So, don’t think about anything else, just think about what you want.”
“…”
“What you want to do, what you desire, what results you want to achieve. I’ll take care of the process.”
Standing up from his seat, San pinched Kang’s cheek rather painfully.
“Ouch!”
She woke up with a smarting sensation.
It was like returning abruptly from a dream, just like returning to reality.
“Anyway, you think too much, and that’s the problem.”
“…”
“If you like it, you like it. If you don’t, you don’t. Is that difficult?”
With meaningful words, he turned away.
“I’ll finish within an hour, so don’t fall asleep.”
San was about to open the door and leave.
But this time, Kang felt that she couldn’t let him go like this.
So without hesitation, she called out to San.
“San.”
He stopped in his tracks and turned around.
Quickly approaching, she grabbed the hem of San’s clothes and stared at him fiercely.
As he said, there are times when you have to choose a simple and clear answer rather than a verbose reason.
She thought now was the time.
“Don’t go.”
“What?”
Kang repeated clearly with her voice.
“I told you not to go.”
It was like a muttered soliloquy that couldn’t be crossed, but if she didn’t say this today, she felt she would regret it.
He, who had been silently staring at her, asked for the reason.
“Why?”
It was a natural question.
But there was no prepared answer to that natural question.
“Because I don’t like it.”
“You have no reason to dislike my relationship.”
Because there was no reason.
“Still, I didn’t want to create something regrettable with my own hands, no matter what kind of relationship he has. Whether San is in a romantic relationship or how he treats women, or whatever form his love takes. If his feelings are so sincere and I really don’t have to let him go. At least during the time he spends with me, I thought I shouldn’t make something that would make him regret when he’s with me.”
“There’s no reason for you to nod. I just said I don’t like it.”
Upon her response, San thought that Kang understood the words he had just spoken quite well. He contemplated petting her head since she seemed praiseworthy, but she spoke again.
“And what you’re trying to do isn’t love.”
“…”
“It’s literally ‘loving.’ It’s not about enjoying it; it’s about cherishing, missing, and loving.”
It’s about giving your heart, not your body.
“Even if you find me repulsive and boring, it doesn’t matter.”
San wasn’t sure how he would take this, but he decided not to shrink back anymore in the face of different beliefs.
Determined, Kang, with wide-open eyes, firmly grasped his wrist.
Then, as if making a promise that could be considered a lecture, she said, “Sleep!”
“…”
“Sleeping with the person you love!”
Got it?
Shouting like that, she turned around abruptly and said, “Hurry up. I’m sleepy.”
San, still looking at her, who had caught his wrist, rolled his foot, gazing for a long time at her retreating figure.
It felt like he had become a student who had become tangled up in confusion.
However, he soon shrugged his shoulders and raised both hands in surrender, following her.
“Okay, fine. If you don’t want it, then don’t do it.”
Is there any need for complexity?
She dislikes my ‘gab.’
Although she accepted it, somehow it made her laugh.
When San entered the room, Kang was already lying on the bed, covering herself up to her chin with a blanket.
Sitting next to her, he decided that it was time to confess the truth of that day.
“I don’t know if you’ll believe me.”
“…”
“But there was nothing on that day that you might think.”
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.
