‘Well… I’m fine, but aren’t you the one who’s feeling icky?’
She mused, letting out a quiet chuckle.
Upon returning home, San aggressively removed his tie.
He then quickly undressed and entered the bathroom, turning on the water.
He felt the need to cool down with cold water.
Whoosh.
Leaning on one hand against the wall, he let the shower water pour over him.
‘Yummy.’
The scene of Jane boldly leaving a kiss mark on Kang’s cheek and the provocative words she uttered kept replaying in his mind.
If Jane turned out to be a Mongma, as he suspected, that action would be a declaration of sorts.
Jane too would probably be suspecting her own identity.
Of course, if she wasn’t, she would just be a crazy woman.
But one thing was certain: he was intent on making her pay for meddling.
No matter if she was a woman or a man.
A Mongma or a human.
There was no room for those who messed with Seo Kang.
Even after soaking his entire body in the falling water, his body’s heat didn’t easily dissipate.
Irritated, he ran his wet fingers through his hair.
“…Just show yourself.”
A heavy sigh escaped, cold as the winter wind.
It was two hours later when Kang called.
San, in casual attire, appeared and sat by the bed, asking,
“Anything unusual?”
“Unusual?”
“You were alone with that woman by the Han River, remember?”
“Oh, that.”
Lying back with her hands clasped over her blanket, Kang recalled the events at the Han River.
“It got a bit tricky when someone recognized us, but Jane handled it.”
“Weren’t you two in cahoots?”
His words and expression both hinted at disbelief, causing Kang to laugh.
“No, it’s not like that.”
“And then what?”
“With Jane?”
“Yes.”
“Well…”
Kang hesitated for a moment before finishing.
“We talked about love.”
Upon hearing this, San automatically recalled Jane’s words from earlier.
‘Come on, it’s nonsense. Where do you see friendship between a man and a woman?’
‘Shopping together? Consulting about relationships? Going to a bathhouse and scrubbing each other’s back?’
Although he himself had said ‘friend’, there wasn’t much from Jane’s list he could actually do.
Being biologically male, he couldn’t enter a women’s bath. Moreover, offline shopping was a rarity for him.
And giving relationship advice wasn’t his forte either.
Especially if it was about a human love story.
Suddenly at a loss for words, San sneakily glanced at Kang.
While discussing Jane, she looked quite content.
“Did you enjoy it?”
“Yep. It wasn’t bad.”
She spoke honestly.
Actually, she had hoped Jane was an ordinary human because their conversation was so enjoyable.
“We have surprisingly similar aspects.”
“Similarities? Like what?”
He raised an eyebrow, seemingly unable to agree.
Kang laughed at his reaction.
“Just things. Like not having friends, feeling lonely, and experiencing similar emotions because of that.”
“Why don’t you have friends? You have Sam Young as a brother.”
“Eh, it’s different with my brother.”
“…….”
She almost asked if it was because they couldn’t go to the bathhouse together but stopped herself.
And she spoke gently, as if understanding what San was worried about.
“But I’ll be careful. Since you told me to be.”
In reality, if he got attached and she turned out to be a Mongma, he would be the one to bear the brunt of the loss.
So it’s best not to give his heart in the first place.
Although he knows that’s the wisest course, it’s always easier said than done.
Watching Kang’s face, he asked as if reading her thoughts,
“Do you feel left out?”
“If I say no, it would be a lie. But I’m used to it, so it’s okay.”
“…….”
“I hoped for a moment that I’d have a friend. But I guess it’s just not in my fate.”
San silently stared at Kang again.
Then, after what seemed like deep thought, he seriously asked,
“Do you want me to find you a girlfriend?”
The question was a bit out of the blue, but she turned and asked,
“How?”
“I’ll look into it.”
“You’ll look? Things like that don’t just happen because you look.”
“When I set my mind to something, I can do anything.”
“…….”
“Finding a friend for you is no big deal.”
It’s not like he’s a tiger repaying a favor. What’s he talking about?
His absurd response made her laugh.
And so, Kang laughed for a while.
Then,
“But you.”
“…….”
“Didn’t you wish for my unhappiness?”
She caught him off guard.
“It would make my dreams taste better.”
San gave no reply. Rather, he couldn’t.
Then, she muttered to herself, sounding like she was talking in her sleep,
“But why does it feel like you keep trying to be kind to me?”
And she kept throwing questions he wouldn’t have answers to.
“Why? Are you afraid I’d give up and die from bearing too much unhappiness? Is that why?”
“…….”
“Or is it part of your grand scheme to let me taste greater despair at the end of hope?”
“…….”
“Or maybe….”
Her gaze, which was previously on the ceiling, slowly returned to him.
Her chattering, beautiful lips posed the final question.
“Do you wish for me to be happy?”
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.”
