Staring at the white ceiling, Chae Rin quietly sighed. She was lying on the bed in a hotel room she was visiting for the first time.
“What a hectic day.”
A stranger had shown up at her house, prompting her to come to this hotel. But, deciding to come here seemed like the right choice. Had she stayed at home, she would have been anxious all night.
Jin Ho had suggested going to the hotel, and stayed by Chae Rin’s side as she packed her belongings. He comforted her as her hands trembled, and once everything was packed, he carried her bag and accompanied her to the hotel.
He knew someone at a nearby hotel, secured a room for her, and said, “Call me if anything happens. You can call even if there’s nothing.” Then he left the room.
He never showed any displeasure, never revealed any ulterior motives, always looking worried.
He simply acted out of kindness towards a person trembling and filled with fear.
Truly a good person.
For Chae Rin, this was the first time meeting such a kind man from start to end. Neither her ex-boyfriend nor her father had ever shown such tenderness. She had never thought about relying on someone.
Tick, tock, tick, tock, in the quiet room, only the sound of the clock’s second hand could be heard.
“Call me if anything happens. You can call even if there’s nothing.”
She recalled Jin Ho’s words. Chae Rin picked up her phone and found Jin Ho’s name in the recent list.
Without thinking, she pressed his name.
Before the ringtone could sound twice, a gentle male voice came from the other side of the phone.
[Dash] Hello?“Ah, Jin Ho.”
[Dash] Chae Rin. Is something wrong?“No, nothing.”
She remembered him saying she could call even without a reason, but it still felt odd to call without one.
“Are you busy?”
[Dash] I’m free. I was just watching TV.“Ah, that must be fun. Go on with it, then…….”
[Dash] No!A desperate voice came from the other end of the phone.
[Dash] Watching TV is nothing compared to talking with Chae Rin.“I’m not good at making interesting conversation.”
[Dash] No, your mere presence is interesting. So, please, keep talking.She couldn’t help but chuckle at his words.
The interesting one was Jin Ho. A fresh type she hadn’t encountered before. Initially unfamiliar, she gradually became immersed in him.
“It’s my first time sleeping in a hotel.”
[Dash] Really? Don’t you like traveling?“Yes.”
She never had such a habit. Sometimes, when she saw landscapes on TV, she thought about visiting them, but never had the courage.
“Do you like traveling?”
[Dash] Yes, I really enjoy traveling.It showed. He was active and energetic. A very different type from her static self.
“Where have you been?”
[Dash] Where have I been…….Thus, they exchanged trivial conversations until 3 in the morning.
It was a relatively peaceful hospital stay.
With the prolonged summer, the hospital was crowded with patients, and Seol Hee was busy. She hardly made mistakes, avoiding any scoldings. If there was one problem, if there was something that weighed on Seol Hee’s mind.
It was the manager.
“Seol Hee, you really don’t have to worry about that day. I didn’t see anything.”
Seol Hee had been caught by the manager kissing Eun Woo at her uncle’s villa. Since then, whenever the manager saw Seol Hee, he would smile knowingly and show extra consideration, which made her even more uncomfortable.
This is driving me crazy.
That’s why Seol Hee kept avoiding Eun Woo at the hospital. She didn’t want the manager to see her with him.
Moreover, there was the issue of her own feelings.
Seeing Eun Woo stirred something inside her. It wasn’t just fear or excitement; it was a clear, red emotion that sometimes scared her, making her worry she might make a mistake at the hospital.
After finishing work in the evening, Seol Hee blinked her dry eyes and raised her stiff shoulders before letting them fall.
The soreness spread from her neck muscles throughout her body.
“Sigh…”
She let out a deep sigh and put on the clothes she had set aside.
Then, the sound of footsteps made Seol Hee’s ears perk up. Eun Woo was standing behind her, preparing to leave. He had taken off his white coat and was wearing casual clothes, looking dazzling. The broad chest, the defined shoulders, the thin T-shirt revealing his solid muscles.
I had my hand on that chest.
“No, no, what am I thinking?”
“What are you thinking about?”
Eun Woo tilted his head slightly, looking down at Seol Hee, who was much smaller than him. A lazy smile played on his lips, his attractive curves catching her eye.
“It’s nothing. Just something I forgot to finish earlier.”
Then he whispered softly.
“Seol Hee, are you done with work?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Shall we go home then?”
He suggested it as if it were the most natural thing.
Well, of course.
They worked at the same place and lived in the same area, so it would normally be natural for coworkers to go home together after work. However, Seol Hee saw the manager standing beyond Dr. Ok, near the open door.
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.
