Two days quickly passed since Kang-woo went on a business trip.
Se-ah had just finished the last lesson of her cooking class and headed to the underground parking lot. While walking, she checked the message from Kang-woo.
It was midnight in New York, and he had just finished showering and had dinner with Daniel Oh.
She scrolled through the final message with her finger, the last one saying he would contact her before going to bed. As if his face would do.
She raised her head and looked for her car, and someone was standing there. A woman with a C-curl bob that swayed under her ears, a beige trench coat, and black stockings revealing her skin, all the way to stiletto heels.
The woman, who already seemed to welcome spring, turned slightly. It was Min-young.
“Ah.”
Se-ah let out a small exclamation. When she saw Min-young in Kang-woo’s office, she had never thought of her with a wavy long hairstyle.
In just a week, both her hair and fashion had returned to when Se-ah first saw her.
A subtle smile, as if reading Se-ah’s mind, passed over Min-young’s lips. Only the subtle friction sound of her footsteps echoed.
“It looks like you’re surprised.”
“It’s sudden to run into each other. It seems like Min-young has finished the cooking class too.”
“Yes, as you can see.”
Se-ah laughed off Min-young’s challenging tone. Pressing the car key as if to show that she didn’t want to deal with her anymore.
At the sound of the car door opening, Min-young covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled. Irritated by the attitude that subtly irritated her nerves, a frown creased Se-ah’s forehead.
“Se-ah, did you breathe a sigh of relief inside?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
A loud laughter burst out. With a face that seemed to be dying of laughter, Min-young put her hand in the trench coat.
“Lately, it’s charming for Se-ah to not put on airs. Be honest. Didn’t you feel relieved when you saw me? Because I’m not going on a business trip with Kang-woo.”
In this situation, banmal wasn’t a problem. She was blatantly showing her husband that she saw him as a man. Though blood surged and her heart fluttered, she remained calm.
“Kang-woo already told me, so I knew. We share everything.”
“Really?”
“Min-young’s attitude is incomprehensible. Suddenly using banmal and being nosy about someone else’s husband. Why are you so curious?”
“Se-ah is younger. I told you to treat me like an older sister last time, didn’t I? Don’t pick on unnecessary details. I really tell Kang-woo everything, unlike you, right?”
“I have nothing more to say. I’ll go first.”
Swiftly passing by Min-young, she opened the driver’s seat door. The sound of tires hitting each other in quick succession echoed in her ears, and soon her arm was grabbed by Min-young. Enduring the urge to cry out from the painful force, she swallowed it.
“What on earth are you doing?”
“Jisea, what are you doing? You have no dignity, even if you don’t have anything else.”
“I’ve respected you because you were Kang-woo’s business partner, but you’re going too far.”
“The one crossing the line is you. You’re like a parasite clinging to Kang-woo and sucking his blood.”
Min-young grabbed Se-ah’s wrist and shook it. Anger, jealousy, and obsessive possessiveness mixed, unleashing madness.
Trying to dismiss it as nonsense and get away, Se-ah couldn’t possibly pull her wrist out of Min-young’s grip. Looking at Min-young, whose eyes were fixed properly, countless thoughts crossed Se-ah’s mind.
Was Min-young doing this to provoke Nam-tae and reject him, or was she not in her right mind?
Perhaps she knew about the contract? No, Nam-tae, who can’t trust others, wouldn’t have taken such a risk.
Anyway, like performing in a play, Min-young didn’t stop talking. Her overly affected tone sent shivers down Se-ah’s spine.
“I can’t stand people like you, who know me so well that it’s unbearable. My ex-fiancé was a guy like you, always trying to fix himself by looking for someone better than me. Just a sinister person doing something behind my back. How dare you deny it?”
“Don’t speak recklessly.”
“Be honest. When you saw Mr. Kang-woo at the orphanage, did you think about seducing him? Even that young thing.”
Smack
Both Min-young, who was slapped, and Se-ah, who slapped her, flinched inwardly. She had hit a person. Min-young, who had firmly held Se-ah’s wrist, let go of it as if throwing it away.
“Even if you’re a great guy, if you’ve liked it alone for eight years, isn’t it insincere?”
“…….,”
“Unfortunately, it’s pitiful that Ms. Min-young met a man like that in the past, but don’t vent your anger on me. I will never break up with Mr. Kang-woo, whether he’s poor or sick.”
As Se-ah’s calm words finished, Min-young sent a mocking laugh that was more frightening.
“That’s so outdated. The very idea is rotten. It’s the best a woman like you without anything can do. If it were me, I could give Mr. Kang-woo money and position if he’s having a hard time. I can give him everything I have and make him shine even more.”
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.
