Regret was futile now. Once words were out, they couldn’t be taken back.
Chan Jung and Seol Hee were stunned by what she had said, silence hanging heavily for a moment. He was flabbergasted, his mouth agape before finally managing to utter.
“What? Marriage? You… you said you weren’t dating him back then. You said it wasn’t an affair.”
“We weren’t in a relationship back then.”
“But you’re saying that now, a week later, you’re dating with marriage in mind?”
“Yes.”
Lies effortlessly rolled off her tongue, already unloosed. Seol Hee hastily added more.
“That man was the one who comforted me when we broke up. He asked me to date him, with marriage in mind. I had just broken up, and I liked him, so I decided to date him.”
Halftruth, halflie.
Eun Woo had indeed been there to comfort the devastated Seol Hee that day, silently standing by her side. He had been there, watching over her as she cried.
And it was true that he had asked her to date him.
Of course, it wasn’t with genuine feelings, and there was no mention of dating with marriage in mind.
‘I’m sorry, Professor Ok. But you’ve lied before, too. Please understand.’
As she silently apologized to him, Seol Hee lifted her chin.
“So, Chan Jung, I really can’t get back together with you.”
“Don’t lie, Yu Seol Hee.”
However, Chan Jung didn’t fall for her hastily constructed lie.
“I’ve known you for more than a day or two, haven’t I? I can tell you’re lying.”
“On what grounds do you say it’s a lie?”
“Do you know when you lie, your eyebrows form a figureeight shape?”
“What?”
At his assertion, Seol Hee looked at her reflection in the shop window.
Her eyebrows in the reflection formed a figureeight shape. Chan Jung said triumphantly.
“You’re lying because you’re upset that I said you don’t match with that guy.”
Embarrassed.
Seol Hee was taken aback and at a loss for words. Then, as if to make a point, Chan Jung laughed.
“Yu Seol Hee, I know you better than you know yourself.”
“No, it’s true. I am dating.”
“Really? Then prove it.”
“What… How do you want me to prove it? Should I get a marriage certificate even though we’re not married yet?”
“No, there’s a class reunion next month.”
“What?”
Chan Jung and Seol Hee were from the same university and major.
Seol Hee’s major was small, with only 40 students, and the specialized courses often resulted in everyone taking classes together.
So, they all got along well and would gather once a quarter.
Because Chan Jung and Seol Hee had been dating at the company, they always attended together.
“Bring your boy.friend. there. If you’re seriously dating to the point of marriage, you should be able to bring him.”
“That’s ridiculous.”
If she brought a new boyfriend there, all her classmates would know.
It was a world of difference from simply telling Chan Jung she had a boyfriend.
If she went, her classmates would scrutinize and interrogate her about who she was dating after breaking up with Chan Jung, and later, if she broke up with Eun Woo, they would tease her.
Of course, it wasn’t unheard of for someone to bring a partner, but they were all prospective spouses.
On top of that, was Eun Woo an ordinary person? His face shone so brightly that even the guardians who came to the hospital would momentarily lose their words at their first consultation.
Even when they had dinner at the restaurant last time, the staff member who guided them had blushed at Eun Woo’s innocuous words.
With that face, even after 10 years, her friends would probably reminisce, “That guy you dated was really handsome.” It was a dead end for her marriage prospects.
Seol Hee stammered out her words, flustered.
“How can I go there together… when we’ve only been dating for a week?”
“And yet it’s okay to talk about marriage after just a week?”
Chan Jung raised his eyebrows.
“You said it was a premarriage relationship. Eventually, you’ll have to introduce him to your friends. Why can’t he come? Can’t he come because it’s a lie?”
She had nothing to say. Chan Jung had a good intuition at the most useless times.
“You have to be with me, Yu Seol Hee.”
You have to be with me.
Chan Jung, who had cheated and suddenly became coy, was annoying. Anger surged to her head.
“Lee Chan Jung. You mean nothing to me. You have to be with me? I can live just fine without you.”
“….”
“Come that day and see with your own eyes. See how loveydovey we are.”
Certainly, I would regret it, but looking at his face that momentarily crumbled at my words, I felt momentarily thrilled.
“Why did I do that?”
The thrill was momentary, the regret was longlasting.
Even if I regret it a hundred times, it was something that could not be reversed. Even if Chan Jung spat harsh words at me, it just meant I didn’t have to see him again.
We worked at different companies, and we only saw each other occasionally at alumni meetings. So, I just had to ignore him, so why couldn’t I stand his provocation once and responded childishly?
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.
