It was a method to quickly erase the nightmares from her memory.
He then embraced Kang even tighter.
The fear and sadness she emitted were quickly absorbed by San’s entire body.
“I pity you.”
“…….”
“It feels as though you’re looking at me.”
He whispered softly, paused, and then continued.
“So, I think I felt it would be nice if you were a bit happier.”
He continued to erase the nightmares, whispering as if he was singing a lullaby.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long for her face to regain its serenity.
Now, she had fallen into a comfortable sleep without feeling fear or sadness.
San relaxed the arm that had been tightly holding her.
He then extended one arm towards her, slightly distancing himself, and looked at the sleeping Kang.
Without realizing, he touched her dense eyelashes and the straight nose ending in a cute round tip.
His hovering fingers lightly touched her lips, then caressed her baby-like cheek.
A crack appeared on his otherwise calm face.
“……Ah. I remembered again.”
The memory of Jane kissing Kang’s cheek resurfaced.
San turned his body, gazed into the void, and covered his face with his large hand.
With a sigh, he brushed his face as if wiping away his thoughts.
Regaining his composure, he looked back at Kang’s face.
Her face, having forgotten all the nightmares, was incredibly peaceful.
And, as always, beautiful.
“…….”
“…….”
In a space where all sounds had vanished.
It felt as if time had stood still.
San, intently observing Kang’s face without even blinking, unconsciously lowered his head.
Then, he gently pressed his lips against her soft cheek.
The touch of their skin was so soft and sweet that he felt an urge to taste it with his tongue.
It felt like it would melt in his mouth, and he even wanted to nibble on it.
It seemed like even her flesh would taste sweet.
Intrigued by the scent of shampoo, he pressed his lips once more, then distanced himself without hesitation.
The desire to consume nightmares and even souls was now manageable.
The problem was that other desires became harder to suppress.
“Was I starved for romance?”
Repeating it to himself, finding it absurd, he chuckled.
He then lightly brushed the white cheek where his lips had touched.
“Kang, don’t misunderstand.”
He said, slightly lowering his gaze.
“I mean, this…”
“…….”
“It’s just a kind of territorial marking.”
It’s disgusting when someone else’s saliva is on what’s mine.
That’s all there is to it.
The entertainment section was buzzing from the morning.
It goes without saying that the company was in turmoil.
“That writer Yang Eun-oh I know?”
Kang asked with wide eyes, and Director Hwang answered with an excited face.
“Yes! You know, I know, everyone knows that writer Yang Eun-oh! This is a must. Kang, you get it, right? When it comes to this writer’s works, there’s no questioning, no hesitation! Even if it means shaving my head and taking on a character, it’s a must!”
He emphasized repeatedly, spitting as he spoke.
For a good reason too, as writer Yang Eun-oh’s reputation was so great that it was needless to mention.
The rough selection for the next project seemed meaningless in an instant. That said it all.
But even so, how did this project come to me?
I heard that the scheduling was already done, and even the casting had been finalized.
“Didn’t the casting already finish for this?”
At her question, Director Hwang laughed uproariously as if he had been waiting for it.
“Ha ha ha! Let me tell you! Hyun So-young made a big blunder.”
Hyun So-young was a top actress who had been selected for the lead female role in Yang Eun-oh’s work.
“What did Hyun So-young do?”
“She’s recently caught up in a huge personal life controversy.”
A controversy regarding her personal life?
Given how confident Director Hwang was, it probably wasn’t a minor issue.
“You know that writer Yang Eun-oh doesn’t care about such things, right?”
“I haven’t seen any news articles about it.”
“Just wait and see. There’ll be a flood of articles in less than an hour.”
“……How did you even find out?”
“I have a few informants in this field. Anyway, can you believe how fortunate and grateful I am for this?”
He was the type who’d find happiness in others’ misfortunes.
Kang, who had been observing him, spoke.
“I’d like to look at the script first…”
“Why do you need to look? Isn’t it obvious? You love Yang Eun-oh’s works. This is truly an opportunity given by heaven!”
Director Hwang said so, adding that a dinner appointment with writer Yang Eun-oh and Director Seong Chan-su had already been arranged.
“It’s tomorrow evening at 6. Got it?”
With a grin stretching from ear to ear, he whistled and disappeared.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
