In case of an unexpected situation, Jinwoo lowered his voice and stood in front of the entrance as if nothing had happened. After taking a deep breath, Jinwoo cautiously spoke to the front door.
“Who… is it?”
“It’s me. Open the door.”
Upon hearing the cynical voice, Jinwoo was so overwhelmed with joy that his throat seemed to tighten.
“I-Isa-nim!”
“What?”
At that sound, Sejin, surprised, got up from his seat and looked toward the entrance. When Jinwoo opened the entrance widely, Joo Hyerim, neatly dressed and with a serious face, walked in.
“Isa-nim!”
“Why are you making a fuss?”
Unlike Jinwoo, who greeted warmly, Sejin, as soon as the door closed, poured out resentment toward Hyerim.
“Who the hell are you! Do you know what kind of situation I’m in right now?”
“I know. I know very well.”
Despite Sejin’s resentment, Hyerim didn’t show a hint of expression and approached confidently. She was originally good at hiding her emotions, but today, Sejin felt her demeanor to be ominous.
Sejin and Hyerim were of the same age, and due to Sejin’s various mishaps being resolved, they had become close outside of work, like friends.
“Hurry up and stop the articles. They say they’ll sue the people who testified.”
“Why would they sue for not lying?”
“What?”
“If it’s not a lie, what grounds do they have to sue?”
An ominous feeling was never wrong. The bold and carefree personality that used to comfort herself, telling her not to worry, was now like a sword targeting Sejin. Hyerim’s gaze, looking at herself indifferently, felt ominous and unpleasant.
With the staff harassment and the testimonies of the victims supporting it, various speculations, criticisms, and mockery filled the overflowing comments.
The only person who could resolve this dilemma was Joo Hyerim. As she had connections with those who supported her, a single word from her could reset everything.
“You can do it.”
“Where did you hear that from?”
A desperate word filled with sincerity crumbled in the face of Hyerim’s gloomy reaction.
“I told you there’s no aftercare now, so handle it properly, didn’t I?”
At the dismissive words, Sejin’s mind went blank. If Joo Hyerim didn’t take action, no one else would help her.
Now, how should she gracefully get through this? It seemed like she could let this one slide, but she couldn’t think of a way.
At that moment, she remembered one fact she had forgotten. Sejin quickly overcame her confusion and retorted.
“I’m still under IF. You have an obligation to protect affiliated artists!”
“Oh, right.”
Regardless of what happened, the contract with IF had not yet ended. Seeing Hyerim narrowing her eyes and sticking out her tongue, Sejin felt relieved, thinking that this was indeed a true hidden card.
Sejin made a gesture as if she would overlook it this time.
“I’ll let it go this time, so quickly handle these articles.”
Sejin’s condition, not knowing the topic and making a fuss, was a mess. Despite Hyerim’s warning to be careful with her words, she recklessly started a problem. She probably regretted it quite a bit.
What she thought was in her hands turned out to be in someone else’s hands. No matter what, she felt helpless.
No, perhaps from the beginning, she was stuck in her own delusion. The record and statements in the article were not lies. Sejin exaggerated so much that it raised suspicions of falsehood.
Hyerim pondered how to strike back at this clueless individual. Unexpectedly, a directive followed.
“Also, find out who did it. We won’t just let it go.”
This was truly trying to control Hyerim like one’s own possession. For several years, while dealing with Sejin’s troublesome actions, she had done so only to elevate Sejin’s abilities, and there was nothing else to it.
In the current uneasy situation, Sejin, who needed to be cautious even about her body, remained oblivious, without a sense or thought. Sejin, entangled in her unwavering logic, seemed to be firmly stuck, facing the difficulty of being disciplined and appearing to be on the verge of becoming human.
Unexpectedly, Sejin, who was thoughtless and had no regard for her own situation, pointed to an unexpected figure.
“Ah, deal with CH Baek Ihyun. It’s definitely that guy’s doing.”
“Oh, this is convenient.”
Whether she had some sense now, she had definitely lost her courage. Hyerim took advantage of the opportunity to inquire about Sejin’s thoughts.
“Before that, why on earth did you publish such an article?”
“What do you mean, I said I would find my woman. What’s wrong with that?”
My woman, did Jinyura still love Oh Sejin? It was the most fundamental curiosity and the beginning of this ordeal. She recalled Oh Sejin’s ambition, confidently declaring that since she loves herself, they could start again.
But why did Jinyura marry Baek Fox as soon as Oh Sejin appeared? Why did Baek Fox insist on this marriage?
Even if Jinyura didn’t know, at least Baek Fox had her own sincerity, whether it was sincere love or simply possessiveness.
“That woman didn’t love you?”
“She loves me. Jinyura loves only me. It’s just that Baek Ihyun interfered and caused a little trouble.”
Hyerim pitied Sejin, who was forcing herself so forcefully. It was pitiful and even pathetic. With a forced expression, she asked again, bewildered by what grounds Sejin was insisting on.
“If Baek Ihyun wasn’t there, she would have loved you, right?”
“I am in love! I’m just denying it because of Baek Ihyun!”
At the outburst that came out like a tantrum, Joo Hyerim concluded her judgment of Oh Sejin with a single sentence.
‘You’ve completely lost it.’
Oh Sejin was trapped in delusions like mental illness and records. She firmly concluded that Jinyura’s only love was herself and everything else was just falsehood. Whether it started from somewhere unknown or not, it was absurd.
Hyerim contemplated how to strike back at this clueless individual. Unexpectedly, an instruction followed.
“Also, find out who did it. We won’t just let it go.”
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.
