Regaining her senses, Dajeong realized she was in his space. She thought she might be dreaming. She was half-lost in reality.
Lee Jaeho was there in front of her, moving back and forth with a coffee cup.
“Do you like coffee?”
“Yes.”
“Good.”
What did he mean by ‘good’? Lee Jaeho was making coffee. For her.
Dajeong vigorously shook her head. If it was a dream, she wanted to wake up. But the more she shook her head, the clearer her mind became, and Lee Jaeho still didn’t disappear from her sight.
It wasn’t a dream.
So, she left Lee Jaeho’s fan club to live by the beach for a month, and here Lee Jaeho was.
Dajeong just absorbed the sight of Jaeho, as if watching TV. She knew he had broad shoulders, but seeing them in person, they seemed unrealistically long.
His arms, filled with muscles, were fatally beautiful. The very body she had wished to touch every day.
She was breathless.
“Make yourself comfortable.”
Their eyes met, and Jaeho spoke to her kindly. Dajeong couldn’t take her eyes off his gaze that seemed to see right through her. As she stared, he smiled again.
Crazy. Why does he keep smiling like that?
Dajeong swallowed quietly. She had seen Lee Jaeho many times, but never in such a relaxed setting, making everything feel unfamiliar.
The most she had seen of Lee Jaeho in person was him quickly passing through events or leaving the airport with his hat pulled low.
The longest was at a fan signing event, where Lee Jaeho was perfectly styled from head to toe, very different from his current image.
‘It’s so natural, it’s unfamiliar.’
It felt unfamiliar, like a Lee Jaeho she didn’t know. And yet, strangely familiar.
Like a celebrity Lee Jaeho, but more like someone she had seen before. Especially those eyes…
Shadows of some foggy past lingered.
It can’t be, but she kept having strange thoughts.
‘How could I have known him from before!’
Today, her brain must be off. Dajeong concluded. It’s impossible for Lee Jaeho to be personally familiar. His past was shrouded in mystery, with even his high school unknown, though rumors swirled in the securities world gossip that he was from a chaebol family.
Of course, the chaebol theory was probably exaggerated, but rumors like that indicated he must be from a well-to-do family. That’s why he graduated from the prestigious Wharton School. The tuition wouldn’t have been cheap.
He was such an extraordinary man.
Today was just a dream-like day, and she must have fallen into a strange land, hence the weird thoughts.
“The coffee machine here is quite good. In this pension.”
“Yes.”
A more collected Dajeong awkwardly responded. She gradually expanded her observation to the whole living room. Built in the same structure, the interior was almost identical, but the only difference was the sofa.
Her place had a deep yellow sofa, but here it was blue. A single sofa could change the whole atmosphere of the house, she thought.
The coffee cup was placed before her.
“I hope it suits your taste. The beans are good.”
“Thank you.”
Dajeong took a sip of the coffee. It was as good as he said. A small smile formed on her lips.
“Shall we introduce ourselves now?”
“?”
“I’m Lee Jaeho.”
As the cup was set down, a hand suddenly appeared before her eyes. Dajeong’s eyes widened. She was not unaware of the concept of a casual handshake, but she couldn’t dare to respond readily. Holding that hand seemed as if it would electrocute her to death.
The large, firm back of the hand and long fingers felt as if they were tickling her bare skin. Just looking at it made her feel this way, what would happen if she actually held it? Perhaps her heart might burst out. Dajeong still wanted to live a bit longer.
“What’s this? Are you embarrassed by my hand?”
“!”
Was that, coquetry? That tone of voice just now.
I’m going to faint…….
Dajeong felt dizzy all of a sudden, like the day after drinking too much. Eventually, she reached out haphazardly, grabbed his hand, and quickly greeted him.
“I’m Yoon Dajeong.”
She quickly withdrew her hand and hastily grabbed her coffee cup. She brought the cup to her lips in a hurry, gulping down the coffee without realizing it was hot. Her ears began to burn. Probably because of the hot drink.
[What if you meet Lee Jaeho personally?]It was a frequent question among the fans. Although Dajeong had blabbered about holding hands, hugging, and even linking arms, now she could hardly breathe. She laughed at herself, feeling pathetic.
“Yoon Dajeong.”
Jaeho, unaware of Dajeong’s feelings, quietly called her name and smiled softly.
“That’s a pretty name.”
“……Ah, yes.”
“You’re pretty, Miss Dajeong.”
“Yes, yes. Yes……. Yes?”
As Dajeong looked surprised, he smiled again. Strange. He wasn’t an actor known for smiling so much. With a cold and arrogant image, his usual demeanor seemed so full of laughter….
Cute…… Can I think he’s cute?
“But, by any chance, are you my anti?”
Dajeong, silent at his words, was startled and opened her mouth wide. How could such an absurd misunderstanding happen!
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.
