Due to Sunwoo’s explicit and warm words, Green was so embarrassed that her fingers didn’t move easily, and she accidentally pressed the end call button.
“Oh, what should I do? Hello? Sunwoo!”
Flustered Green pressed buttons on the phone, but the call had already been disconnected.
Feeling embarrassed and trying to call Sunwoo again, she couldn’t move her fingers easily because of the image that kept coming to her mind—her lips wandering relentlessly on Sunwoo’s firm chest.
At that moment, the phone she was tightly holding trembled again.
“Mom!”
Lost in her imagination, Green was startled by the vibrating sound of the phone. Fortunately, this time it wasn’t a video call.
After calming her voice for a moment and soothing her mind, Green pressed the call button.
“Yes, Sunwoo.”
“Well, I was so surprised…”
Unable to decide how to respond to Green’s embarrassed answer, Sunwoo laughed really loudly as if the bathroom echoed.
At that moment, there was a knocking sound on the door through the phone. Soon, An Yong-gi’s voice faintly reached Green’s ears.
Sunwoo, who responded to Yong-gi with irritation, soon apologized to Green.
“Yes. Sunwoo, take care of your meals too. Don’t overdo it.”
With Green’s nagging seemingly enjoyable, Sunwoo replied with a voice full of laughter and ended the call.
For a while, staring at the disconnected phone, Green suddenly envied the courage that was now with Sunwoo.
When Sunwoo was with Yong-gi, he looked most comfortable. So, she occasionally felt jealous of him.
‘If Sunwoo knew my feelings like this, he and Yong-gi would both be surprised!’
Green left the study and went to the bedroom. Hanna was lying on the couple’s bed, snoring lightly in her sleep.
Green went to Hanna’s side and hugged her tightly.
“Ah, $%$&*”
Even though Hanna mumbled in her sleep, she didn’t push Green away. And soon, she fell into a deep sleep.
With her friend securely in her arms, Green, after a while, could finally fall asleep too.
The next morning, the three early risers sat around the table, spreading jam and butter on freshly baked bread, having coffee, and discussing their plans.
“Jenny, wouldn’t it be better to look around the studio and buy the necessary supplies first?”
“No, let’s watch my movie first. You guys haven’t seen my movie yet, have you?”
Under Jenny’s sharp gaze, Hanna quickly averted her eyes. Green had seen it with Sunwoo, but she could barely remember the plot because she fell asleep in the middle.
“Let’s go early when there are fewer people. I’ll handle the reservations.”
Jenny searched for a theater near the studio. Then Green jumped up.
“I don’t like that theater. Let’s just go to a nearby one from home.”
When Green strongly objected, Hannah, who was good at handling situations, immediately put her chin on Green’s neck.
“Why do you dislike that theater so much? The facilities there are much better.”
“You know. Actually, on Saturday, I went with Sunwoo to watch a late-night movie at that theater…”
Although Hanna lightly teased her, Green, looking resigned, smoothly recounted what had happened that day.
Green was convinced that if Sunwoo had been born during the Japanese colonial era, he would never have been able to participate in the independence movement, and Hanna cautiously presented her opinion.
“You can easily find out the best seats for couples with a little search. It’s not easy to determine that your husband frequented the place with his ex-girlfriend just because of the seats, right?”
“Seats may be like that, but the nachos are different.”
This time, Jenny countered Hanna’s words.
“Unless that movie theater is a nacho hot spot, it’s suspicious to buy nachos instead of popcorn.”
In the face of Jenny’s rational analysis, Green quickly became deflated. Hanna glanced at Jenny and then patted Green’s shoulder.
“Many people prefer nachos over popcorn! I bet Mr. Sunwoo also likes nachos!”
“Green, if you prefer popcorn, did you go out to buy popcorn? In my opinion, you used to habitually buy nachos because your ex-girlfriend liked them.”
Today, Hanna, who found Jenny unnecessarily sharp-tongued and talkative, gave Green a warning glance. However, Jenny unabashedly confronted Green.
“So, Green, are you going to avoid any place that reminds your husband of his ex-girlfriend today?”
“Huh?”
“Your husband’s fancy restaurants, hotels, cafes, theaters, etc. Can you guarantee that he never went there with his ex-girlfriend?”
“…”
“Are you going to feel sad and upset every time thinking about his ex-girlfriend?”
Under Jenny’s sharp interrogation, Green’s face turned red. The more she thought, the more she felt like a fool.
“No, it won’t be like that.”
Green whispered weakly. Hanna hugged her tightly.
“Oh, our little one is so stubborn. It’s okay! We, older sisters, also dug and messed up alone, realizing things.”
Upon Hanna’s comfort, Green smiled bashfully, and even Jenny, who had been sternly looking at her, softened a bit.
“If by any chance you meet that woman later, just show her this one thing.”
“What? Should I grab her by the hair or something?”
When Green asked anxiously, Jenny smirked, raising the corner of her mouth.
“You? It’s fortunate if you can even grab her hair.”
“Why are you like this? I have strong arms! Do you know how strong your arms need to be to hold a heavy camera for hours?”
“Forget all that; just show who Jin Sunwoo belongs to.”
“Whose is he? Obviously, he’s mine.”
“Okay, then show it!”
Encouraged by Jenny’s words, Green confidently shrugged her shoulders. She was no longer afraid of the theater near the studio or even nachos.
Jin Sunwoo, he was already Green’s both physically and emotionally.
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.”
