Sunsook smiled kindly at Seolhee. She was in shock and couldn’t collect her thoughts. She blinked and asked back.
“Me… you mean me?”
“Yes, you.”
She wanted to ask what day she meant, but Seolhee wasn’t stupid enough not to know what day it was. She licked her parched lips and asked.
“…Are you talking about a wedding?”
“That’s right. Eunwoo is in his 30s now, so it would be nice if he could get married soon. I’m getting old, and I want to see my grandchildren.”
Her quiet voice echoed in the ward.
“Grandmother.”
“Yes?”
Unable to bear it any longer, Eunwoo interjected. His brows were furrowed from listening to the conversation from the side. He spat out words in a cool tone.
“We’ll take care of it ourselves. Don’t rush.”
Sunsook’s face turned gloomy at Eunwoo’s decisive words. The proud old woman’s face was quickly overcast by her grandson’s words.
“So…”
Seolhee’s heart hurt at her darkened face. She looked at Eunwoo with an expression saying, ‘You didn’t have to say it that harshly.’ However, he shrugged his shoulders as if he couldn’t help it.
After all, it’s better to cut it off cleanly, just like what Teacher Ok said, so they don’t get their hopes up more.
Sunsook, whose expression had darkened, sipped her tea. After swallowing, she suddenly coughed.
“Cough, cough.”
Sunsook trembled, covering her mouth.
“Grandmother, did you catch a chill?”
“No, I’m fine, yes, I’m… cough.”
She waved her hand to show that she was fine, but her cough was deeper than expected. Unconsciously, Seolhee rushed over to her side and patted Sunsook’s back.
Elderly people can have a blocked airway at any time. The grandmother next door to Seolhee’s grandmother in Busan almost died from catching a chill.
“Are you okay? Try to breathe.”
“Hm.”
Sunsook, who had been sitting upright until a moment ago, rolled her back as she coughed. She didn’t remember hearing from Teacher Ok why she wasn’t well, but it wasn’t pleasant to see her keep coughing when she knew she wasn’t in good health.
Sunsook’s back, which Seolhee was patting, was relatively thin. After a few bouts of coughing, Sunsook stabilized, thanks to Seolhee.
“Thank you. Ah, I got a chill. It’s been happening a lot lately.”
“That’s a relief. Are you okay now?”
“Yes, I’m fine.”
Sunsook reached out to take a handkerchief and wiped her lips. She carefully wiped the wet spot and smiled faintly.
“Maybe because I’m not in good health these days. It’s not urgent, but my body is weak… I’m getting old, yes. I’m old.”
“Ah.”
So, that was it. Despite her wellmade up face, she looked oddly shadowed. But contrary to Sunsook’s actions, Eunwoo was calm. Was he not scared of catching a chill? No, he was usually cold, but not to this extent.
“So… I’m sorry for bringing up the marriage topic out of the blue today. My only grandsons are Eunwoo and Eunwoo’s brother, and Eunwoo… he’s never said he’s dating a girl, so I’ve been particularly worried.”
After pausing for a moment to catch her breath, Sunsook continued.
“He looked excited because he got a girlfriend who seems to have no interest in women. I wanted to see him getting married before I die.”
“….”
“It would be good if he got married soon. Right? But I was too hasty, wasn’t I? I’m sorry, really sorry.”
With that, Sunsook reached out and grabbed Seolhee’s hand. Her hand, tightly clenched, was thin yet warm. Quite different from Seolhee’s plump hand.
“…Uh…”
It was as if someone had choked Seolhee’s throat, and a groan slipped out. Seolhee licked her lips and opened her mouth. In a barely audible voice, Seolhee said.
“How about next spring?”
At Seolhee’s words, Sunsook’s face brightened up.
((()))
((()))
((()))
“Argh.”
As soon as she left Sunsook’s house, Seolhee screamed, clutching her head. Eunwoo, holding the steering wheel next to her, curled up his lips and laughed at Seolhee.
“Are you okay?”
No, it wasn’t okay. No matter what, it couldn’t be okay. Unable to answer Eunwoo’s words, Seolhee grimaced for a while, clutching her head.
“Did what happened today actually happen?”
Seol Hee was still crumpled over, clutching her head towards the glove box. Eun Woo, while driving, glanced at her with raised eyebrows and smirked.
“Hmm…”
His voice stretched long, as if contemplating.
“Just a bit?”
His words seemed considerate. Seol Hee let out a deep sigh.
“It wasn’t just a bit. That.”
When Sun Sook began talking about marriage, Eun Woo finally drew the line. Don’t go too far, he cautioned.
But then Sun Sook had teary eyes, and the sight of the fraillooking grandmother tugged at her heart, leading her to inadvertently mention the wedding date. All of it was Seol Hee’s fault.
“How about next spring?”
Words that hadn’t passed through her brain tumbled out of her mouth.
Marriage, marriage.
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.
