A Beastly Boss (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 13
It was a shocking statement—one so powerful it even shut Mi Jin’s mouth, which had been chattering with questions.
The man who’d said it gave a slight grin and walked off toward the changing room. Unlike Eun Woo, whose expression hadn’t changed at all, Seul Hee’s face burned bright red.
What on earth is that man talking about?
“He’s completely lost it, Mr. Ok. Over that woman.”
“I know, right?”
“The way he talks like that—he’s totally gone crazy. We all thought Mr. Ok wasn’t interested in women at all. Turns out he just hadn’t met the right one yet.”
Mr. Ok wasn’t interested in women? Seul Hee tilted her head and asked,
“Why did you think that?”
Worried Eun Woo might overhear, Mi Jin lowered her voice in response to Seul Hee’s question.
“It’s already been about four years since you joined the clinic, right? In all that time, I’ve never once seen him talk about women. Never heard him mention dating anyone, and he never seemed even slightly interested in the women who came and went. Honestly.”
She glanced once more toward the changing room to make sure Eun Woo hadn’t come out yet, then continued.
“With his looks, he could easily date anyone he wanted. Remember that super pretty guardian who came to our clinic a month ago and gave him her number? He flat-out turned her down, saying he wasn’t interested in dating women.”
Now that she mentioned it, Seul Hee remembered—she’d almost forgotten about that incident.
It must’ve been about a month ago—a stunning beauty with long, flowing straight hair had come in with an adorable, fluffy white Spitz.
After getting treatment from Eun Woo, she couldn’t take her eyes off Mr. Ok’s face the entire time. Right before leaving, she asked if he didn’t have a girlfriend, maybe he could contact her.
He simply shook his head and said,
“I’m sorry, but that might be a bit difficult.”
Recollecting that moment, Mi Jin continued,
“I mean, she was way too beautiful! If I’d been a guy, I would’ve wanted to date her at least once!”
Mi Jin nodded, recalling the event clearly.
“I kept wondering—maybe the Director’s too picky, or maybe he’s gay? Or maybe he refused just because she was a client? But now it turns out he already has someone he likes.”
“I’m curious who she is. I mean, if even picky Mr. Ok has fallen for her…”
“If he says he likes everything about her starting from her face, she must be stunningly gorgeous.”
Seul Hee glanced at her own reflection in the mirror—just an utterly ordinary face. She let out a tiny sigh.
“I guess so.”
Seul Hee truly didn’t know what else to say. Whatever came out of her mouth was always just, “I guess so,” or “I see.” What could she possibly say?
Just the idea of him having a girlfriend already set her whole day into chaos—what if they found out it was her?
This commotion would be nothing compared to what would happen then.
⁂⁂⁂
Before meeting Seul Hee’s friends and before paying respects to Eun Woo’s grandmother, the two decided they should get a bit closer.
After all, at this point, their level of intimacy was barely more than that of strangers.
They’d go on dates on weekends and leave work together on weekdays.
To avoid being seen, Seul Hee would get into his car from a distant parking lot, and he’d drive her home.
She opened the door and climbed into the passenger seat. As always, unlike Eun Woo, who looked at her with his usual cool composure, Seul Hee’s expression was anything but steady.
“You worked hard today.”
“You too, Mr. Ok. But… why did you say those things today?”
As he turned the steering wheel, Eun Woo replied to Seul Hee’s question.
“What things?”
“You know—the part about having someone you like, and liking everything about her starting from her face…”
“Did it bother you?”
“It’s not that…”
She’d nearly died of embarrassment.
Ever since starting this fake relationship—this “not-quite-dating”—with Eun Woo, she honestly had no idea what to do. Her heart kept leaping out of her chest as if she couldn’t catch her breath.
“It’s just… I felt a little embarrassed. I kept hearing people talk about it all day.”
Even though she knew it was just acting, her face automatically flushed.
At her words, Eun Woo lifted the corners of his mouth into a soft smile. The setting sun slowly cast long shadows across his sharp, chiseled nose.
“Why would you be embarrassed?”
“…”
“I never said I was talking about Seul Hee.”
Her eyes widened in surprise.
You didn’t say it was me?
“Oh, uh… I…”
Flustered, strange words slipped out. She mentally replayed their earlier conversation in detail.
“Yes, I do. I have someone I like.”
“Hmm.”
“…”
“That person—I just like everything about her.”
“…”
“Starting from her face, everything.”
Now that she thought about it, he’d mentioned going to Wonderland with a woman and said he’d found someone he liked—but he’d never actually said the woman he went to Wonderland with was the one he liked.
And he certainly never said that woman was Yoo Seul Hee.
All this time, Seul Hee had assumed everything Eun Woo said was just to get out of a tricky situation—but if he’d actually been talking about someone else, she’d made a huge mistake.
“You really do have someone you like?”
So shocked, her voice cracked. It wasn’t that it was impossible—of course he could like someone—but then why was he pretending to date her?
If he already had someone he liked, how could he be leaving work with her every day and planning weekend dates? Wouldn’t it be simpler to just tell his grandmother he had a girlfriend?
Just say, “The woman in that photo isn’t the one I like—there’s someone else. Let’s set me up with her.”
Then again… had he ever actually said he didn’t have a girlfriend? Was he seriously doing this while already having one?
“Do you… have a girlfriend?”
She didn’t know why, but flustered beyond reason, she blurted out the question almost breathlessly. Surprised by her unusually rattled reaction, he gave a faint smile.
His low chuckle vibrated gently through her.
“No. There’s no one else.”
Her head spun.
“I’m sorry. You looked so flustered—I didn’t mean to, but it just slipped out.”
“So… you were joking?”
While stopped at a traffic light, Eun Woo turned his head to look at Seul Hee. His soft lips curled upward slightly. He gave a small nod before continuing.
“It really was about you, Yoo Seul Hee.”
“…Oh.”
“Everything I said today—it was all about you, Yoo Seul Hee.”
At those words, Seul Hee fell silent.
Earlier, she’d thought he was talking about someone else and her heart had pounded wildly—but now that she knew it was about her, it raced even faster.
“Yes, I do. I have someone I like.”
“Hmm.”
“…”
“That person—I just like everything about her.”
“…”
“Starting from her face, everything.”
Those words echoed again in her ears. He ran his fingers through his neatly combed hair, sweeping it back from his forehead.
“So don’t worry. There’s no one else.”
“I—I wasn’t worried!”
“Really? I wish you had been.”
He spoke calmly, then as the light turned green, shifted gears and pressed the accelerator.
You wish I’d been jealous?
Outside the moving car window, the cityscape blurred past in a flash. No traffic lights stopped them—the road stretched wide open ahead. The car raced as fast as her whirling thoughts.
Mr. Ok—what are you even saying? Surely you don’t mean you like me… No, it must’ve just been a casual remark, nothing more.
Each offhand comment he made sealed her lips shut. As she flustered in silence, Eun Woo asked,
“Are you mad?”
“No, not mad…”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you nervous, but things just turned out that way.”
“What do you mean, ‘turned out that way’?”
“Jin Ho knows my grandmother. I thought it’d be best if people believed I already had a serious girlfriend—especially since Chae Rin and Jin Ho are bound to meet. So I figured I should let everyone at the clinic know I’ve started dating someone.”
“But then won’t Chae Rin realize I’m the one?”
Chae Rin might keep it a secret, but secrets always had a way of slipping out eventually.
“Of course, I did tell Jin Ho it’s an office romance, so I asked him to keep your identity hidden.”
So he’d had no choice but to say he’d fallen for someone—and pretend to be head-over-heels in love.
That was all it was.
Hearing his explanation, Seul Hee’s frantic heartbeat finally began to settle. Ah, I see, she murmured softly. Watching her, Eun Woo gave a quiet chuckle, the corners of his lips rising.
“Sounds like the clinic was pretty loud today—enough to make you uncomfortable.”
“…Yeah, it was awful.”
“Haha.”
Whenever Eun Woo moved, everyone perked up like meerkats, eager for any news about his personal life.
“He’s always working—where on earth did he meet a woman?”
“Maybe it’s one of the guardians who comes to the clinic?”
“No, maybe it’s an old university classmate!”
For a while, the gossip wouldn’t stop. If his phone rang, people would whisper, “Must be his girlfriend.”
“Plus, there weren’t many patients today, so everyone was idle—that probably made it worse.”
“I see. It’ll probably calm down in a few days.”
“It’d better… It really, really has to.”
If anyone found out about their dates, it wouldn’t just be a clinic problem. The director of Dolmare Animal Hospital was Seul Hee’s maternal uncle. If he found out about her and Eun Woo, it’d only be a matter of time before her mom discovered everything—and then…
“Sigh…”
She couldn’t help but sigh.
Carefully, Seul Hee said,
“Please be extra careful at the clinic. I really, really don’t want anyone to find out.”
“I will. I won’t let anyone find out—ever.”
Just then, the car pulled over to an empty lot a short distance from Seul Hee’s house. He shifted into park and turned to her.
“Last week, we did the date I wanted—what would you like to do this week?”
“I’m not sure. What would you like to do, sir?”
At her question, the man looked at her quietly for a moment before speaking.
“But… how long are you going to keep calling me ‘sir,’ Yoo Seul Hee?”
“Huh?”
“You’re not planning to call me ‘sir’ in front of your friends too, are you?”
“Oh.”
That was true. If he wasn’t just a regular boyfriend but someone she was considering marriage with, it really would be strange to keep calling him “sir.”
So what should she call him?
“I hadn’t thought about it… Honestly, I’ve never really considered it before.”
“Just call me however feels natural to you, Seul Hee.”
“Okay… but what should I call you…”
As she rolled her eyes, deep in thought, she suddenly spoke up.
“You can call me casually too, you know.”
“What would be good?”
“Just… my name? You can even use informal speech when we’re alone. After all, I’m four years younger than you.”
“Oh. Okay, then.”
“Yeah.”
He turned toward her and reached out, clicking open her seatbelt before leaning closer.
With every inch between them closing, the faint scent of white musk brushed against her skin, filling her lungs completely.
“Yoo Seul Hee.”
His voice was low and gentle.
“Seul Hee-ya.”
So tenderly—he called out her name.
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.
