Suhyang continued to lead busy days without a break, even after finishing weekend drama filming.
Since her return after giving birth to So-ri, she had never had a break. It wasn’t an exaggeration to call it work addiction.
Still, she felt somewhat relieved after Hyunwoo’s definite answer regarding So-ri’s wedding, which she considered her assignment.
Fortunately, work continued steadily.
Among the various projects that came in, she chose a short drama with less physical strain.
Moreover, she got the lead role.
Today was the day of the script reading for a short drama in which she would play the lead role after a long time.
Entering a new project was always exciting. So, she had spent a sleepless night and had come to the broadcasting station with a nervous heart.
However, as the reading approached its end, Suhyang suddenly felt weak. She even felt a bit short of breath.
“Teacher, do you want to take a break for a moment?”
“Oh? No, there’s not much left. It’s better to finish quickly.”
“Yes.”
Perhaps it was because she couldn’t sleep deeply last night. After quitting the wine she used to rely on when sleep didn’t come, she suffered from insomnia again.
However, she couldn’t afford to drink the worst kind of alcohol for her body right now. Thus, she was trapped in a vicious cycle of not being able to sleep.
“Alright, everyone worked hard. The first shoot will take place on the set next week, you know?”
The cast members exchanged brief greetings. However, Suhyang couldn’t get up from the conference table while pressing her forehead.
“Teacher, aren’t you coming in?”
“Oh, you guys go first.”
She gestured for the junior actors to go inside, giving thanks to the senior actor Suhyang.
“Teacher, why do you look so pale today?”
“Director Kim, could you please bring me a glass of cold water?”
“Yes, just a moment.”
She had finished a bottle of water during the script reading, but her throat and mouth were drying up as if her insides were burning.
This was the first time her condition had deteriorated like this in a while.
First of all, she had to go home quickly.
No, maybe she should go to the hospital.
It was no longer possible to have dialysis twice a week.
“Teacher, here. Have some water.”
“Thank you.”
Director Kim brought a cold bottle of water, opened the lid, and handed it to her. Suhyang, who had received the water with difficulty, swallowed it, relieving the dryness in her throat.
Drinking the water made her feel somewhat alive, like being in the middle of a desert.
“Maybe it’s because I couldn’t sleep well yesterday.”
“Will you take care of your condition until the filming?”
“Of course. Director Kim, then see you next week.”
“Yes. Please take care.”
Suhyang tried to stand up by putting strength into her arms. However, when she was halfway up, she hesitated and sat back down in the chair.
“Oh! Teacher, are you okay?”
“Huh, huh, Director Kim…”
Her breathing became increasingly labored, and a ringing sound echoed in her ears. As her vision blurred, the table and the floor began to spin.
“Teacher, you’re sweating. I’ll call an ambulance right away.”
“No, no. It’s okay. No need to make a fuss. If I rest for a moment…”
However, somehow, it felt like she would lose consciousness as it tingled from her fingertips.
Suddenly, Suhyang felt afraid.
“My phone, call Professor Seo, please.”
Sehan Hospital Hemodialysis Room.
Suhyang was undergoing hemodialysis.
And next to her, Hyunwoo was guarding her like a loyal subject.
It was when she was coming out after the scheduled final surgery today that she received a call from Suhyang.
Hyunwoo rushed to the broadcasting station where Suhyang was and brought her to the hospital himself. He didn’t have a good expression.
“Sorry, Professor Seo. The person I remembered at that moment was only Professor Seo.”
Suhyang kept her condition a secret from her manager and her agency.
“You did well. You should have done that.”
Suhyang was diagnosed with end-stage renal failure about six months ago.
Suhyang, who prided herself on being healthy enough not to catch a cold, suddenly felt extreme fatigue one day.
Her loss of appetite became more severe than usual.
Since there were no preliminary symptoms, she came to the hospital, suspecting it might be menopause, but she found out that the disease was already in an advanced stage.
Since then, she had been coming to the hospital twice a week for hemodialysis.
“It seems two times a week won’t do anymore.”
“Yes, it would be good for you to come about once every two days.”
“I see…”
Was it getting worse? She was worried, but Suhyang didn’t show it in front of Hyunwoo.
“How long are you going to keep it a secret?”
“…”
“If So-ri finds out later.”
“No.”
Suhyang firmly shook her head. Even if So-ri found out, now was not the time.
So-ri, who worked hard to get into medical school after struggling with the empty spot left by her father, who had never made a regrettable sound, was advancing one step further toward her dream.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
