With a blazing gaze that seemed like it would explode at any moment, Ji Han shot daggers at Jae Ha, who then moved forward.
As Jae Ha walked, Ji Han’s speechless figure came to mind, causing shivers to run down his spine.
It was the first time he had seen such a helpless expression on Ji Han’s face in the five years they had known each other.
Jae Ha left the wine bar and headed for the elevator to the guest rooms.
Even though he was out of Ji Han’s sight, he still held my wrist tightly.
My wrist, gripped by his large hand, felt like it was burning hot.
“Um, I’ll go home.”
“……”
“Jae Ha?”
Was he really planning to take me to his room? Jae Ha, who had stopped in front of the elevator, pressed the button.
The show to annoy Ji Han could be concluded by now.
However, even as I called his name again, he showed no signs of movement.
Was he really intending to go up to his room?
“……Didn’t you hear me? I said I can go home.”
I twisted my body, trying to free my wrist from his grip, and my jacket started to slip off my shoulder.
“Ah, just stay still for a moment. Don’t you know how you look right now?”
As he spoke softly, I was surprised by his gentle touch as he fixed the slipping jacket.
“Do you see the man sitting in the lobby with a tablet?”
“Yes? ……Yes.”
When I turned my gaze to where Jae Ha pointed, I saw a man sitting on a sofa in the center of the lobby.
The man’s gaze, scanning the surroundings with a tablet in hand, was quite fierce.
The moment his eyes tried to make contact with mine,
Jae Ha blocked my view with his broad back and whispered.
“He’s a reporter. He’s famous for reporting on various news about the business world.”
‘A reporter, of all people…?’
At such an unbelievable timing, my brows furrowed involuntarily.
Only then did I understand what Jae Ha had wanted to say.
The sight of me drenched in wine was more than enough to attract people’s attention.
As the empty elevator opened, Jae Ha pushed me inside and curled the corner of his lips.
“If you don’t want to end the revenge tonight, listen to me.”
“Ah…”
My eyes met the reporter’s who was sitting at a distance, and I quickly averted my gaze.
Though our eyes had met for only a brief moment, the hyena-like glint in his eyes sent shivers down my spine.
Yet, I couldn’t bring myself to press the close button, making it difficult to decide.
At that moment, as I continued to hesitate.
“You said you wanted to hear, right?”
Jae Ha, who had been standing in front of the elevator door, approached and completely blocked my view.
He handed me a card in my empty hand.
“I’ll tell you my answer to the proposal you made back then.”
His eyes seemed to say that if I wanted to hear it, I should obediently go up.
I didn’t meet him today intending to create such an awkward situation.
With a low sigh, I removed my finger from the open button.
Seemingly satisfied with my decision, he stepped back from the elevator door.
“Ah. If you’re uncomfortable, you can wear my clothes.”
How could I wear them…
As he spoke, he smirked through the slowly closing elevator doors.
Jae Ha’s suite was located on the highest Royal floor.
The neatly organized room condition, befitting the room he was staying in, came into view.
“It doesn’t look like a place where people live.”
I turned away from the beautiful view beyond the window.
As I was about to sit down on the sofa by the window, I realized that I was covered in wine and got up.
Until I came up to his room, I had no intention of changing clothes.
However, when I saw myself in the mirror, there was no other choice.
My drenched blouse clung to my skin, and my wet hair was a mess.
“I guess I can take a shower.”
After much hesitation, I eventually entered the bathroom.
The moment I finished showering and changed into Jae Ha’s large shirt, I encountered him in the room.
As I shook my wet hair, he was standing in the room, looking as flustered as I was.
‘When did he come in?’
I couldn’t help but gasp for breath.
He looked at the water dripping from my hair, which was stuck to my cheek.
Soon after, his deep gaze slowly moved from my forehead to my eyes, nose, and lips.
“I didn’t expect to be greeted like this…”
Whether he smelled the citrus scent coming from me or not, his expression became subtly distorted as he approached me.
Since I used the shower cologne he used, the scent that came from him also clung to me.
“Ah… I sent the blouse for dry cleaning. They said they’d do it at the front desk.”
When I lowered my gaze, his hands, which had gone to buy clothes, were empty.
I didn’t know if he had just come in or if he had come here upon sensing my presence.
“Jae Ha said I could borrow his clothes, so I wore them.”
I took out one of the shirts hanging in the closet I had opened for the first time and put it on.
I wanted to wear something other than a shirt, but I didn’t feel comfortable going through someone else’s wardrobe.
A pointless laugh flowed from Jae Ha’s lips, as if it was an absurd situation.
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.”
