She could feel the scorching heat from his hand, wondering just how high his fever was.
“Why are you doing this like a fool? Hurting people’s feelings….”
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
Tears welled up again at the sight of Ha Joon repeatedly saying sorry.
“Just get better. I’ll hit you harder than you are hurting now if you don’t.”
Leaning against the bed, Ha Joon’s gaze lingered on Su Ah’s face as she cooled the porridge with a breath of air.
After a long stare, Ha Joon’s lips parted with difficulty.
“Su Ah ssi, I am…”
“Oh, just try it. Ah.”
Su Ah cut him off midsentence and brought a spoonful of food close to his lips.
“First, eat. We’ll talk after you have the porridge and medicine.”
“….”
Ha Joon opened his mouth with effort and swallowed the porridge Su Ah gave him, keeping his eyes on her the whole time he was eating.
“Why are you looking at me like that? It’s embarrassing.”
“It still feels like a dream. I still can’t believe that Su Ah ssi is right here next to me.”
Why would she be in so much pain, and yet be so happy about it?
Unable to find a response, Su Ah could only blow on the porridge on her spoon.
After emptying the bowl of porridge, Su Ah put it down and handed over the prepared water and medicine.
Like a wellbehaved child, Ha Joon quietly followed Su Ah’s guidance.
“Now, try to sleep a bit more. Your fever should go down after you get some rest. We’ll talk then.”
As Ha Joon, who was merely blinking his eyes, was being laid back down on the bed, and as she was about to get up to fetch a wet towel to put on his forehead,
Ha Joon’s hand grabbed Su Ah’s wrist in haste.
“Where are you going? Are you going home?”
A wave of anxiety washed over his face.
“No, I’m going to get a wet towel to help lower your fever.”
“Do you have to go? I can do without the towel….”
His gaze was like that of a child clinging to his mother.
“I’ll be right back. I’m not going anywhere until Ha Joon ssi gets better, so don’t worry.”
“But still…”
His cheeks were as red as a rabbit’s that had been touched, and why were his eyes so shiny?
She knew she shouldn’t have such thoughts when looking at someone who was ill, but she couldn’t stop thinking that he was cute.
“I said I’ll be back soon. Count to a million. I’ll be back before then.”
“…. Can’t you be back within 50?”
“Okay. 50. I’ll be back within 50. Is that okay?”
“Yes. You must come back within 50. I’ll start counting now. One, two.”
As Ha Joon started counting, Su Ah went into the bathroom to gather the towel and other necessary items.
The sound of Ha Joon counting stopped at some point.
She hurried back to check on him, and Ha Joon, whether from the fever or the effects of the medicine, had already fallen asleep, letting out soft snores.
Su Ah giggled and placed the prepared wet towel on his forehead.
She then used another towel to wipe Ha Joon’s hands, face, and neck area.
Would it be good to wipe his body too?
Su Ah’s hands stopped at the top button of Ha Joon’s pajamas.
‘I am nursing him. I have no ulterior motives. I shouldn’t have strange thoughts about a sick person!’
Su Ah began to carefully unbutton one at a time with the thumbs and index fingers of both hands.
As the buttons opened, and the overlapping pajamas spread out, revealing Ha Joon’s hidden body.
“Ah…”
Without realizing it, she bit her lip and a sigh slipped out.
It was to be expected, as Ha Joon’s solid chest muscles and firm abs were wet with sweat, and with each breath he took, they emitted a brilliant light as they rose and fell subtly.
No way!
With a sudden realization, Su Ah shook her head fiercely from side to side with a flustered expression.
“This is a mannequin. A mannequin!”
The wet towel soaked in water touched Ha Joon’s chest.
“Uhm….”
Perhaps the towel felt cold, Ha Joon furrowed his brows and let out a faint moan.
“Just bear with it a little. This is how the fever will go down quickly.”
As if Su Ah’s words could be heard, Ha Joon’s moaning gradually subsided.
“Uhm….”
Despite the aches all over his body from the fever that hadn’t yet subsided, Ha Joon strenuously opened his eyes and looked around the room.
‘Su Ah ssi!’
Realizing Su Ah wasn’t in his room, Ha Joon hastily threw off the blanket he had been under and rushed out to the living room.
“Su Ah ssi! Su Ah….”
“Did you wake up?”
Hearing his voice calling her, Su Ah, who had been sitting on the sofa, quickly stood up and looked at Ha Joon.
“…..”
Dumbfoundedly staring at Su Ah, Ha Joon quickly ran to her and hugged her tightly.
“I thought it was a dream. Su Ah ssi’s touch, your voice. I was scared it might all have been a dream.”
His voice, still carrying his hot breath, was trembling thinly.
“It’s not a dream. I told you I won’t leave until you’re fully recovered.”
“Then it’s okay not to recover. It’s okay to be sick until I die.”
At Ha Joon’s words, Su Ah narrowed her eyebrows and pulled away from his body.
“No! You can’t say that in front of a worried person!”
“Ah. I’m sorry. I apologize.”
Ha Joon, looking like a deflated balloon, was so cute that she almost smiled, but she managed to hold it in.
Just then. Whether the tension had been released, his vision swirled and Ha Joon’s legs wobbled.
“Are you okay, Ha Joon ssi? Are you still dizzy? Why did you run out like that? Sit down here quickly.”
Su Ah supported Ha Joon and sat him down on the sofa.
“Do you want some water? I’ll get you some.”
“I’m fine. Just stay here by my side.”
Ha Joon’s words stopped Su Ah’s steps, which were headed towards the kitchen.
A moment of silence.
And breaking that silence, Ha Joon carefully opened his mouth.
“Su Ah ssi….”
“Let me speak first.”
Su Ah hastily interrupted Ha Joon’s words.
“I think trust should be the foundation between people.”
Our trust that was broken because of me.
At the word ‘trust’, Ha Joon’s expression quickly darkened.
“So, it’s true that I didn’t feel good about the fact that Ha Joon ssi deceived me.”
She’s probably about to talk about parting now.
Ha Joon’s gaze gradually dropped.
While looking at Ha Joon like that, Su Ah calmly continued her words.
“But I decided to forgive you just this once.”
“…What?”
At the completely unexpected words, Ha Joon’s head jerked up.
“I’m saying that I’ll forgive you, Ha Joon ssi.”

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.”
