“What?”
Eunsoo’s eyes were momentarily filled with worry. However, Juhan quickly spoke.
— Sorry, it’s a lie. I just wanted to be worried about.
“Hey, you crazy…!”
Forgetting that she was in the office, Eunsoo poured out a string of strong curses. The screen on Juhan’s side shook as he laughed, then barely returned to its place.
— Instead of worrying, I got a mouthful of curses. I’m full now. I can skip breakfast.
Eunsoo sighed. After calming down her anger, she suddenly remembered something that had been on her mind all day.
“But you…”
About to ask why he didn’t tell his mother the truth, she hesitated and glanced around. Even though she was alone in the office now, she still felt uneasy, wondering if someone might overhear.
“No, through a text…”
She thought about asking through a message after the call, but then changed her mind. It wouldn’t make a difference if Juhan knew now that she had met his mother.
“No, let’s just talk after you come back.”
— Are you doing this on purpose?
“What?”
— Are you deliberately making me curious by sending messages in three parts, as if I can’t stand it and will take a flight to Korea? Do you miss me?
“No.”
Juhan, who had expected nothing like that in the first place, wore a momentarily foolish expression when unexpected words followed.
“I can see you right now.”
Although they were far apart, their eyes met as if they were right in front of each other.
Eunsoo stretched her hand, holding the phone, forward, placing the other arm on the desk and supporting her chin.
“Then have a good day, Mr. CEO. I have to finish my work quickly and leave on time because I have to leave early today.”
— Leaving on time is a matter of course, but do you have plans for dinner?
“Yeah.”
— Who, Jang Sol-hee?
“No, Yoon Bin oppa.”
— What?
Juhan in the screen suddenly stood up. The screen beyond the shaking Juhan’s upper body was fully revealed. To make matters worse, he wasn’t wearing clothes.
“Hey, hey! Didn’t you turn off the camera?”
— Sorry. But, why?
Due to Juhan raising the camera extremely upwards, his eyes, forehead, and ceiling were all visible in the state of shaking.
— Why? Why is he like that?
“Why. Just because. We can meet for a meal whenever we have time.”
— Where? Not at home, right?
“Not at home, but…”
Eunsoo looked around quickly, then twisted one corner of her mouth with a mischievous expression.
“Why do you have to meddle in that? The camera is off, by the way.”
— The camera may be off, but the ring is still there.
Eunsoo was taken aback. Juhan, who had now regained a healthy and appropriate angle, combed his slightly messy hair. The ring sparkled in his hand as if to show it off.
— Anyway, just eat and don’t drink. I’m not interfering or nagging, but I’m telling you not to accumulate black history mileage by going elsewhere and getting involved. I’ll take care of everything since I’m your boyfriend.
“Stop it.”
With a single word from Eunsoo, grinding her molars, Juhan laughed softly. Then he said he should go now.
— I’ll hang up.
“Yeah.”
After leaving a simple farewell, the screen turned off cleanly.
Eunsoo, who put down her phone, looked down at her hand for a moment and touched the ring. Then, she cautiously took it off.
I’ve been wearing it for a few days, and faint marks have appeared.
Looking at the empty hand that seemed to be missing something, Eunsoo quietly placed the ring back in its place.
⭐⭐⭐
That evening, the place where Eunsoo and Yoonbin met was a small Korean restaurant.
“Oppa, is it okay to be in a place like this?”
Eunsoo looked around a bit anxiously. Since it was a regular restaurant, it was bright and spacious, making it seem like anyone could recognize Yoonbin.
“Yeah, it’s okay here.”
Yoonbin, who was seated with his back to the guests, adjusted the baseball cap he was wearing and added, “The owner here used to be our accommodation aunt. I occasionally come here when I miss the home-cooked meals I grew up with since I was a trainee.”
As soon as Yoonbin finished speaking, a woman wearing an apron approached from the kitchen.
“Bin, it’s been a long time. Junyi and Seungwoo came by the day before yesterday.”
“Really? They bragged a lot about having eaten aunt’s food.”
“Did they? Next time, they said they would come with the hyungs, all five of them together.”
Recognizing that they were talking about Crescent members, Eunsoo found it somewhat fascinating.
“Aunt, this is my friend, Seon Eunsoo.”
“Nice to meet you. It’s the first time I’ve met one of Bin’s friends. Why haven’t you told me about such a pretty sister until now?”
Aunt seemed to want to ask Eunsoo something more, but Yoonbin subtly grabbed the hem of her clothes.
“Aunt, I have to go into management starting tomorrow. I came to eat a lot of delicious food for the last time.”
“Okay, okay. Just wait a bit.”
After Aunt went back to the kitchen, not long after, a variety of side dishes, including a stew and stir-fried pork that were not on the menu, along with a thick rolled omelet, were served.
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.”
