Kim Haeri, too, alternated her gaze between Ye-eun’s face and hand, then frowned.
Behind her, Son Kyu-won’s whining voice was heard.
“It wasn’t me this time. She was swinging a bottle trying to kill me…”
“Will you shut up? Did I ask you?”
Kim Haeri turned back and scolded Son Kyu-won, then looked intently at Doha.
“Oppa.”
She gestured at his hand holding Ye-eun’s.
“What am I supposed to make of this?”
Realizing what Kim Haeri was pointing out, Ye-eun awkwardly twisted her hand. But Doha wouldn’t easily let go.
“What do you have to make of it? Go get a first aid kit.”
Doha’s voice was cool and indifferent, causing Kim Haeri to narrow her eyes.
Then she forcefully detached Doha’s hand from Ye-eun’s.
“Come with me. I’ll take care of you.”
Kim Haeri linked arms with Ye-eun and carefully looked her over.
“…Seo Ye-eun, right?”
Ye-eun, surprised that Kim Haeri knew her name without an introduction, looked at her with wide eyes.
Kim Haeri’s large eyes crinkled into a crescent shape.
It was a slightly cunning smile.
“Right?”
“Enough.”
Doha immediately interrupted.
He pushed Kim Haeri’s head away with his fingertips, separating her from Ye-eun, and called Director Kwon again.
“Sort out this place, including Kim Haeri. Make sure the word doesn’t get out.”
“Yes, boss.”
At the straightforward reply, Doha chuckled and looked back at Son Kyu-won.
“Make sure he’s properly dealt with.”
“I’ll leave him half-dead.”
“And shut Kim Haeri up too.”
“Don’t worry about that.”
“Then I’m counting on you.”
Doha picked up Ye-eun’s bag that had fallen to the floor and held her hand again.
“Let’s get out of here, high-maintenance Seo Ye-eun.”
He then pulled her out of the party room.
Even up to that moment, she was bewildered by the unfolding events.
Son Kyu-won’s misdeeds aside, Doha’s sudden appearance and his suppression of Son Kyu-won, the man he treated like a henchman, and even Kim Haeri were perplexing.
Wait, Kim Haeri?
It wasn’t until they reached the elevator that she came back to her senses.
“Just a moment, Director Doha.”
She felt completely out of touch with reality.
Not only Kim Haeri but also the man with her knew of her existence.
She had vaguely heard them refer to her as a ‘spy,’ suggesting Doha might have introduced her as Cha Hyun’s spy keeping tabs on him.
Moreover, Kim Haeri even knew her name precisely.
It meant she was a significant annoyance to them, but the fact that Doha rescued and intended to treat her, especially in front of Kim Haeri, didn’t seem appropriate.
If things went awry, she might need to persuade Kim Haeri to influence Doha, but creating a rift like this…
Ye-eun wriggled out of Doha’s grasp, looking back at the party room.
“If you leave such a misunderstanding with Kim Haeri…”
“Kim Haeri won’t misunderstand over something like this.”
Doha’s voice bore no particular emotion.
There was no concern that his girlfriend might misunderstand, nor was there the playful attitude typical of a womanizer.
Kim Haeri’s reaction seemed like jealousy befitting a partner, but Doha appeared utterly indifferent, confident that she would never misunderstand.
Perhaps he trusted Kim Haeri that much.
“Still, she seemed upset. Maybe you should at least appease her a little…”
“You’re being awfully noisy.”
A cool smile played at the edges of Doha’s lips.
“As far as I know, your job was to detach Kim Haeri. Wasn’t it?”
There was no emotion in his voice, not sarcasm, not mockery, not even reprimand.
He simply stated the related facts indifferently.
At this moment, the one feeling awkward and embarrassed for having her secret revealed was Ye-eun herself.
The term ‘hot under the collar’ might be fitting for such a moment.
She was also a bit fearful of Doha, who seemed to know about the directive message she received from Cha Hyun.
“That, well…”
Unable to find an excuse, she hesitated, but Doha cut her off.
“You did detach her. That’s enough.”
The elevator arrived, its doors opening with a bright light.
“Let’s go.”
Doha led her into the elevator, pulling out a room key from his pocket.
He then pressed the button for the penthouse, marked ‘P’.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
