Danwoo, trying to hold back his laughter, said, “We’re a married couple. What’s so embarrassing about sleeping together and even this?”
“What can I do? It’s still embarrassing.”
“So should we turn off the lights?”
“Yeah.”
Watching Jian blush even to her ears, Danwoo stood up first. He collected the empty bowls and headed to the sink.
“I’ll do the dishes. …I want to see what you’re wearing.”
“…”
“Can’t you show me? I’ll turn off the lights.”
“I don’t know.”
Ignoring Jian’s pretended ignorance, he quietly went to sit on the sofa.
‘Now that it’s like this, should I just put it on?’
Even if he said it wasn’t allowed, Danwoo wouldn’t insist. Yet, the thought of secretly trying it on crossed her mind.
After finishing the dishes, Danwoo brought wine and placed it on the coffee table.
“Is wine okay? Or would you like tea?”
“I’ll have wine.”
“Come here.”
Danwoo sat down under the sofa and pointed in front of him. He was sitting with one leg stretched out.
Jian sat in front of him and pulled a wine glass.
“Lean comfortably. Also, take a look at the curtains.”
Sip.
He detached his lips from his cheek and added, “Snow blankets, snow curtains. You know a lot of pretty words. My dear is all pretty.”
“Do you really think so?”
When Jian turned her head slightly, Danwoo’s lips touched hers again and then pulled away.
“Well, I really think so.”
Leaving Jian’s hand alone, Danwoo comfortably leaned against him.
The night scenery they were enjoying together was beautiful.
But only for a moment.
Due to the busy schedule of coming to Jeju from the morning, Jian began to feel drowsy.
The wine, sipped one sip at a time, also induced sleepiness.
“Dear, I’m sleepy.”
“Oh? Go in first. I’ll clean this up and follow you.”
“Yeah.”
Entering the bedroom, Jian unknowingly looked at the carrier.
Hesitating, she finally took out the underwear from the pouch and turned to the door.
‘What should I do? Should I just put it on?’
At that moment, Danwoo entered as he opened the door.
Ah!
Seeing Danwoo’s gaze on her hand, Jian sighed softly.
“We should turn off the lights. Take it slow.”
“Huh?”
“I haven’t seen anything.”
He turned off the light switch and closed the door.
Alone in the dark room, Jian stared at the closed door.
‘I don’t know.’
Closing her eyes, Jian stood in front of the door after changing her clothes and swallowed hard.
Knock, knock.
When she knocked on the door, Danwoo, who was waiting, came in.
As he closed the door, the room became dark again.
Even in the darkness, Danwoo’s smiling face seemed clear. Along with that, the sound of swallowing became louder.
“What should I do?”
Hearing Jian’s tense words, Danwoo asked in a soft and moist voice.
“What?”
“I’ve put on the clothes. I’m worried about what to do next. It’s embarrassing again.”
Danwoo pulled Jian close, who became talkative.
Although he said he wanted to see, Danwoo himself felt awkward in this situation.
It wasn’t the first time he hugged Jian, but the unexpected event heated up the atmosphere.
“I’ll take care of the rest.”
“…”
He took off Jian’s shirt, holding her delicate shoulders, and stepped back.
Slowly raising his gaze that had touched the tip of his toes, he finally looked into Jian’s eyes.
When Danwoo smiled mysteriously, Jian said, “Is this your preference? I didn’t know.”
“No. My preference is always Kim Jian.”
“…You’re really good with words.”
“Should I only be good at that?”
Like the sound of falling snow, something fell under Jian’s feet.
Danwoo wished for the winter snow to fall for a long time.
He wanted to stay here with Jian until spring came.
It snowed for three days straight.
Due to the heavy snowfall, Danwoo and Jian had no choice but to delay their return to Seoul.
Although it wasn’t intentional, Danwoo was secretly pleased that he and Jian could be alone, as he had wished.
As he wished, they woke up together in the morning, spent the whole day doing something together, and embraced her at night.
On the morning after the third night.
Danwoo and Jian, who woke up slowly, lay on the bed and looked out the window.
The snow was falling less frequently than yesterday.
Danwoo said with regret, “I wished the freezing weather would continue like this.”
“Then, how will we eat and live?”
“I’m fine as long as you’re here.”
Jian, who guessed the meaning of Danwoo’s words, was surprised.
“Really?”
“If I catch fish for you, you can eat that.”
“But we couldn’t even leave the yard because of the snow.”
Jian laughed inexplicably, hugging Danwoo.
At times like this, there was a subtle old-fashioned aspect to the CEO of the game company, which was unexpected.
When he felt a punch on his chest, Danwoo held Jian’s wrist and gently touched her lips with his fingertips.
Amidst the sound of the kiss, Danwoo’s voice mixed in and flowed out.
“What should we have for lunch?”
“I’m tired of just having things at home. Let’s just have instant noodles.”
“Then, we should catch octopus today. The one we released last year might come to say hello.”
“Stop kidding. I have no strength to make you laugh, tormented by you.”
Rrrrr. Rrrrr.
While Danwoo was kissing Jian’s back and whispering, his phone rang.
However, after confirming that the caller was Taeyoon, Danwoo pressed the end button.
“If it’s the director, answer it.”
“And say what? I didn’t make it snow, and the plane won’t take off.”
“If it’s the director’s ability, he could come even by helicopter. Answer it before that happens.”
Danwoo changed his mind and opened the phone.
“If Taeyoon says that, he must be a troublesome guy. Lie down a little more. I’ll boil instant noodles for you.”
“Let’s do it together.”
Beyond the closed door, Danwoo’s voice during the call could be heard. It seemed that the call would be long today as well, as there was a lot to do.
In the afternoon, time passed quickly as they cleared the snow piled up in the yard.
Danwoo, seeming a bit regretful about the fact that he had to return to Seoul, checked the weather forecast again.
Seeing Jian’s smiling face, he shook his head.
“Why are you laughing like that?”
“Because the boss seems to hate working, I feel like I’ve become a demon for making him work.”
“Oh! Right. I had a dream last night. I’m not a person who usually dreams.”
“A dream?”
Danwoo set the snow shovel on one side and pulled Jian’s shoulder.
Then he sat on the duck chair and started telling the story of the dream about the salmon he saw.
“It really happened. It was much bigger than my forearm, and its body was golden.”
“Didn’t you dream about fishing because you keep talking about it?”
“I might have.”
The snow piled up in the yard of the stone wall house reflected the sunlight, shining white.
Listening to Danwoo’s increasingly talkative story, Jian laughed out loud.
The gradually growing laughter spread clearly beyond the low wall.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
