The time spent with Ok Eunwoo was always filled with excitement and fluttering anticipation. Today was no exception.
Five minutes before the appointed time, a familiar car slid to a stop in front of Seolhee, who had just come out. It was Eunwoo’s car. The door opened, and with light footsteps, Eunwoo jumped out of the car and stood in front of Seolhee.
“Did you wait?”
“No. Did your class go well?”
The man nodded. Lately, Eunwoo had been attending graduate school. Occasionally, he took breaks from work to go to school. Today was one of those days returning from school.
However, it didn’t feel like an ordinary return from school. Eunwoo looked too dazzling. Wearing just a T-shirt and a light jacket, he exuded a sense of elegance. The wind blew, revealing his neat forehead.
Looking at Seolhee, his eyes sparkled. Even though it was a city night where no stars were visible, it felt as if he had hung stars in his eyes.
“You’ve worked hard.”
“It’s a class I want to take. Uh, sorry for making you wait.”
Whispering affectionately, he fastened his seatbelt and smoothly started the car. They soon arrived at the restaurant.
The place they came to was an outdoor restaurant that suited the autumn night well. It was their first time here.
“It’s so cool.”
Not far from Gangnam Station, the place felt almost like a quiet suburb with trees planted along the fence. To illuminate the dark garden, string lights were hung above, adding a romantic touch.
“How did you find this place?”
“Do you want to know?”
“Yeah.”
Since the two of them were usually busy, they didn’t go on dates outside often. But when they did, Eunwoo always took her to a special place.
“It might not be fun.”
“I want to know.”
They sat facing each other at a square table with a spread white tablecloth. Reaching out, Seolhee held his hand resting on the table.
“I just want to know even if it’s not a big deal.”
In response to Seolhee’s words, Eunwoo lifted the corners of his mouth.
“It wasn’t such a noble process. A friend’s acquaintance owns this restaurant and asked if I could rent it for a whole day. I pleaded hard, thinking it would be nice because it’s quite popular.”
“You rented it for a day?”
“Yeah. It would have been better if you didn’t know the process, right?”
“Yeah. It would have been better if you didn’t know the process.”
And Eunwoo raised the corners of his mouth.
Finally, Seolhee lifted her head and looked around. When she entered earlier, she thought nothing of it, just thinking it was somewhat quiet. However, upon hearing Eunwoo’s words and looking around, aside from the staff who guided them earlier, there was truly no one else.
“You rented this place?”
“Yeah.”
“Why?”
“I have something I want to say.”
“Yeah, but did you have to say it in a place like this, just the two of us?”
In response to Seolhee’s question, Eunwoo twisted his eyebrows.
“Do you dislike it?”
“No. It’s not that. I’m just nervous about what you want to say.”
“I feel the same. I’m nervous. I don’t know how you’ll react to what I say.”
What could it be? Lips dried up with tension. At that moment, a staff member placed a decorated abalone dish in front of Seolhee.
“Shall we talk after eating?”
Normally, Seolhee would have said yes. However, today was different. Ever since he said, “I have something to say, let’s meet in the afternoon,” in the morning, she had been nervous, eager to hear what he had to say.
“Tell me first. What’s the story? I’ve been worried all day about what kind of story it could be.”
“Sorry. I didn’t mean to make you so nervous.”
Then Eunwoo reached out with his long, white hand, picked up the glass, moistened his lips, and opened his mouth.
“I’m thinking of quitting the veterinary hospital.”
“Hmm?”
“I’m thinking of quitting the veterinary hospital.”
“…….”
Seolhee’s lips were half-opened, taken aback by the unexpected words.
The reason for her surprise was clear. First, she thought that what Eunwoo was going to talk to her about today was something related to their relationship, be it a positive story like wanting to get married soon or a negative one like suggesting they take some time. She had never dreamed that he would talk about quitting the hospital.
The second reason for her surprise was that he wanted to quit the veterinary hospital.
Currently, Dolmarae Animal Hospital consisted of three veterinarians: Seolhee’s uncle and director, the newly joined Sunjin, and Eunwoo. Even with three of them, they were barely managing due to the large number of patients and the chaotic workload. In such a hectic environment, Eunwoo’s presence was overwhelming. Most guardians wanted Eunwoo to examine their pets.
“Are you going to another hospital instead of Dolmarae?”
“No.”
“Then?”
Eunwoo hesitated for a moment.
“I’m thinking of quitting being a veterinarian. To be precise, quitting being a veterinarian at the veterinary hospital.”
“……A veterinarian?”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
