Eun Woo’s large hand completely enveloped Seol Hee’s cheek. The size of his hand made Seol Hee recall last night, causing her to stiffen and turn away.
“There’s no fever…”
“Good to hear that.”
Eun Woo smiled gently.
Seol Hee’s shoulder was still exposed, making her body instinctively shrink back at the thought of his gaze on her. Unlike the heated moments of last night, this bright morning was revealing everything too clearly.
Although her body, melted by last night’s fervor, felt languid and pleasantly warm, tempting her to stay in bed a bit longer…
“Can you please leave now?”
Then, Seol Hee stiffened and looked towards the door. Eun Woo leaned in and whispered,
“Why?”
His voice, low and resonant, was attractive and seductive.
She had to ask.
Yet, Seol Hee felt bashful.
“I’m embarrassed.”
Her barely covered skin felt dangerously close to being exposed. Hearing Seol Hee’s response, Eun Woo curled his lips into a sly smile, his eyes sparkling with mischief.
“What’s so embarrassing?”
“…”
“You saw everything last night anyway.”
“What did you just say?”
Startled by Eun Woo’s teasing words, Seol Hee jumped.
“I remember everything we did last night.”
“Ugh…”
Seol Hee wished she could shoot him with a tranquilizer dart at that moment, to stop him from saying anything more bizarre.
“Please… leave…”
She wanted him to leave while asking nicely.
Eun Woo, finding the situation amusing, was met with a sharp glare from Seol Hee. Her face puffed up and her eyes widened. Seeing her like that, Eun Woo didn’t back off but chuckled instead.
“Scary.”
“I can be scarier.”
“Okay, okay. I’ll take my time and then leave.”
Eun Woo stepped back, seeing her on the verge of exploding. His voice, as he exited, carried a faint hint of laughter.
Click.
Once he was gone, Seol Hee sighed deeply.
“Sigh…”
Last night was a moment of madness. What was she thinking?
She had to spend the whole day with him today. What a reckless thing she had done!
She couldn’t escape to her own room or hide at the hospital today. The thought of spending 24 hours alone with him in this rain-drenched house…
Her head ached from too much thinking.
Swoosh.
Whoosh whoosh.
The relentless rain continued, and the wind blew. Unable to go anywhere in this weather, Seol Hee decided to take a shower first.
On a humid, rainy summer day, her sticky body welcomed the hot shower, finally making her feel a bit more alert.
“Sigh.”
Even the simple act of showering seemed draining, with her body creaking in exhaustion. She gasped for air, her body aching as if it would fall apart.
“Ugh.”
A groan escaped her lips involuntarily. It was her first experience of such an intense night.
As Seol Hee, barely finished showering, stepped out of the bathroom, Eun Woo, moving around the main hall, spoke up.
“Are you done?”
“Yes.”
“Then, let’s eat. I’ve set the table.”
On the main hall, Eun Woo had prepared a meal, seemingly fetching it from somewhere. On the table were various foods they had bought yesterday, rice, soybean paste stew, and spot prawns.
“What’s this?”
Seol Hee’s gaze drifted towards a bottle of alcohol in one corner. Responding to her questioning look, Eun Woo said,
“It’s soju. Thought you might want some since we have shrimp.”
“Ah.”
Soju in broad daylight? In Seoul?
Surprised, Seol Hee tilted her head, her expression puzzled, but Eun Woo continued,
“The flight’s probably going to be canceled today due to the weather. I’ve informed the director and rebooked our flights for tomorrow morning, so feel free to drink.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Seol Hee wondered what it would be like to drink soju, considering the chaos of the previous night without any alcohol. She eyed the unfamiliar brand on the bottle. Blue background with white lettering.
“HanXsan…?”
“It’s Jeju soju. You can find it in Seoul too. Haven’t you seen it before?”
“No.”
“Try it. It tastes good.”
Eun Woo’s casual suggestion made Seol Hee narrow her eyes.
Is this another one of his schemes?
Two bottles of HanXsan, a plate of raw spot prawns, and a pot of cooked prawns adorned the table lavishly.
Eun Woo took ice from a bucket and placed it into clear glass cups. He picked up the soju, pouring it into his and Seol Hee’s glasses.
“HanXsan is best enjoyed on the rocks.”
“On the rocks?”
“Means with ice.”
“I thought that was only for whiskey.”
“Sometimes it’s good with soju too.”
Cheers.
Drinking soju in the middle of the day, the world seemed an odd place.
Clinking glasses, they let the sharp taste of alcohol slide down their throats.
The aroma wavered at the tip of her nose, making Seol Hee shiver slightly. Then, she picked up a prawn.
The spot prawn was more akin to a miniature lobster than a regular shrimp. As she tried to peel the hard shell by twisting the shrimp’s head, the tail came off instead.
“Oh, why isn’t this working?”
Confused, Seol Hee fumbled again. Eun Woo leaned in.
“Why eat it like that?”
“I thought it would come off easily this way.”
“Give it here.”
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.
