“Hyung. I really thought I was going to die this time. Absolutely no to the medicine.”
“You’re right, Director. Four years ago, he almost died from an overdose of sleeping pills. If I had discovered it a little later at that time…”
“Stop nagging.”
Jae-ho raised his hand, cutting off Director Jung’s words. Then, he awkwardly addressed Dr. Kim.
“You must have been surprised at night, Doctor. It wasn’t necessary for you to come all the way here. Byunghoon went overboard.”
Ignoring Jae-ho’s explanation, Dr. Kim entered medical mode. Adjusting his glasses, he sat up straight.
“How was today? Another nightmare? Did the darkness sway like a figure? Or did it distinctly take on a human shape?”
“Doctor.”
“Or was it a clear person?”
With keen eyes, Dr. Kim continued to inquire.
In his late 40s, Dr. Kim, a genius in the field of psychiatry, was Jae-ho’s secret personal doctor. Although he came from an orphanage, with the support of a sponsor, he followed an elite path and graduated from college. As a result, he cared for Jae-ho like a younger brother.
“Tell me quickly, Mr. Jae-ho.”
“Yeah, speak quickly, Hyung.”
“Mr. Director, it’s faster to explain…”
“Enough, everyone.”
Jae-ho pressed his temples with his fingers.
“Do you all have no privacy? Don’t you have things to do? Just give me one sleeping pill and leave.”
But the three didn’t budge.
“If you don’t know, then don’t. I can’t just let you leave. Answer. It’s an order as a doctor.”
Having given up the fight, Jae-ho sighed briefly and answered in a low voice.
“It was a swaying figure.”
“Not a human figure?”
“No. Just like a lump.”
“Then fortunately, it’s still in the early stages. You have to pay attention so that the apparition doesn’t appear clearly. If it starts taking on a concrete form and becoming threatening like last time, it’s dangerous. If it suddenly appears even in broad daylight, it’s a big problem.”
“…”
“A few pills won’t solve it. We need to find a fundamental solution. Have there been any changes in your mental state recently?”
Both Byunghoon and Director Jung exchanged glances in response to that question. Eventually, Byunghoon spoke up.
“He got into a fight with Nuna, Doctor.”
“You met Yoon Dajeong? Finally?”
Dr. Kim’s eyes widened. Spending a long time by Jae-ho’s side for treatment purposes, he had naturally learned this fact.
“Oh. Doctor, you don’t even know that. Then, let’s keep it short.”
Byunghoon summarized the long story concisely. Dr. Kim nodded.
“She left. Miss Dajeong.”
Somewhat strangely, Jae-ho, whose tension had risen, growled softly.
“No, we just had a little argument. She’ll come back. It’s not permanent.”
Dr. Kim cleanly dismissed it.
“I brought some nutritional supplements and tea. Try to endure tonight with those. There shouldn’t be a need for a prescription.”
“Doctor.”
“Rather than getting a prescription from me, resolving the conflict with Miss Yoon Dajeong seems faster.”
Dr. Kim was firm. Byunghoon protested.
“Look at that, Hyung. Don’t be stubborn. And in my opinion, there’s no other way. How about just being honest with Dajeong Nuna? You’ve done enough, haven’t you?”
Jae-ho’s eyes momentarily darkened, but the groggy Byunghoon, not fully awake, didn’t catch on to the situation. Yawning heavily, he spoke.
“Hyung. Even if Nuna knows you’re Kim Seonghyun, she’s nice, so she’ll definitely understand everything. So, just stop now.”
Jae-ho’s gaze sank coldly.
“Byunghoon.”
“Yes, Hyung.”
“How can I say that?”
“…”
“I have to say it with my own mouth. Why to me, as if both of you have squeezed it out.”
The hand that had wiped away the stern expression slipped abruptly.
Jae-ho looked down at his own hand, then clenched his fist. As if trying to hide a story that shouldn’t be told, he put a lot of force into his fingertips.
“Hyung, I’m sorry.”
Only now did Byunghoon, realizing Jae-ho’s condition, try to recover awkwardly. But Jae-ho’s untied emotions flooded like a torrent.
“How can I…”
To you, I am just a sinner.
Knowing that, I decided to ask in the end.
“How can you…”
The beginning of your unhappiness.
“I, how can I say it with my own mouth.”
As your family crumbled, life fell apart, and eventually, climbing up your life, I am here.
“I took your place.”
Thirteen years ago, I survived by leaving a friend I had called a blood brother in the flames.
At a young and passionate age, during a time when I swore easily. Despite boasting about a friendship that could share even lives, in the end, I couldn’t keep it. Life was much heavier than the light jokes of teenage boys.
Fate was fleeting.
“Yoon Dajeong’s unhappiness is all my fault, but how can I…”
Even though I knew that, I couldn’t bring myself to burn the feelings you had for me.
Jae-ho finally collapsed. Director Jung left to get water, and Byunghoon couldn’t even offer comfort. Jae-ho’s breathing was so difficult that Kim Doctor helped him with calming breaths.
“Now, breathe. Mr. Jae-ho. Take a deep breath. You’re good at it. Yes, just like that.”
I tried to forget.
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.
