Sori was the first to sit at the dining table.
Hyun Woo, curious about her behavior, asked while filling a cup with water from the dispenser.
“Want something to drink?”
“No, I’m fine.”
“Aren’t you thirsty? At least drink some water.”
He handed her a glass of water he hadn’t ordered.
“I’m okay…”
Feeling a bit embarrassed as if her fluster over a simple peck had been noticed, Sori decided to calmly address the topic of his title.
But was it really okay?
Sitting across the table, Hyun Woo, noticing Sori’s contemplative face, said,
“You boldly claimed you’d decide on a different title, but you haven’t yet.”
“No… it’s not that. I thought you might need some time to prepare…”
Sori awkwardly smiled with her eyes wide.
“What is it that needs such preparation?”
The unpredictability of his reaction spread a slight anxiety across his face.
“Will you get angry?”
“Go ahead.”
“You promise?”
“I think dragging it out will make me angrier.”
Sori took a sip of water and raised a hand, bending a finger.
“First, Husband.”
Hyun Woo watched her with a serious face.
“Second, Hyun Woo. Third, Darling.”
With each finger she folded, his brows furrowed a bit more.
Trying to appear nonchalant, his voice quivered slightly as he looked at her expression.
“Fourth, Love…”
“Stop.”
He reached out and stopped her as if covering her mouth.
“Just call me ‘Oppa.'”
“I don’t like that.”
Her response came out more firmly than she intended, having anticipated this reaction.
That title could be used even after a hypothetical divorce, and she wanted something more special.
But saying it out loud, it seemed less significant than she thought.
“In front of the family, we should appear as a close couple, so I’ll use the fourth or third title, and casually use the second or third otherwise.”
“You think you can?”
“Yes.”
“Really? Can you manage?”
His skeptical look was met with her resolute answer.
“I’ll practice. I’m a hard worker.”
“If you allow it, Professor, I’ll give it a try.”
Sori clenched her fists, showing her determination.
The next day.
Hyun Woo, hanging his jacket and donning his white coat in the research lab, suddenly burst into laughter.
He was remembering that morning’s events.
“Hey, my Husband, I’m ready.”
“Uh, Hyun Woo, would you like some coffee? I’ll make it.”
“Ah, why does the coffee taste like this again, Hyun Su, no, Professor, sorry.”
It was a morning filled with laughter due to Sori’s amusing attempts.
Watching her struggle alone was entertaining, but Hyun Woo thought it might not help them get comfortable with each other.
He decided to select the one he found most comfortable and left the research lab.
On his way to the ward, an emergency call came through.
Informed that the 3rd and 4th-year residents were already in surgery that morning, Hyun Woo headed straight to the emergency room.
As soon as Hyun Woo entered the emergency room, he stood in front of a computer to check the charts.
Sori, in the inner area, was chatting with an orthopedic surgery (OS) resident, whispering and laughing shyly as the resident teased her about something. Her face turned bright red.
Lately, Hyun Woo had noticed that everyone seemed to like Sori, regardless of age or gender. Everyone except one person, Kang Se Hoon.
It wasn’t just as an opposite gender but more as a person that many found Sori charming. Even to Hyun Woo, Sori’s smile objectively seemed pretty.
However, her face turning red too often could lead to misunderstandings. Could this be an aftermath of their ‘couple play’?
In the sacred and urgent atmosphere of the emergency room, the professor found himself lost in odd thoughts. As he crossed the room, everyone from the emergency medicine department to residents and interns of other specialties became alert, straightening up in their places.
The authority of a professor was high and absolute for residents in the hospital, regardless of specialty. Yet, when NS (Neuro Surgery) Seo Hyun Woo appeared, the tension among residents and interns visibly increased.
“Notify the patient,” Hyun Woo muttered, returning to his duties as a professor.
Sori, belatedly sensing Hyun Woo’s presence behind her, quickly wiped the smile off her face and stiffened reflexively.
Waiting for the notification and checking the patient’s vitals, Hyun Woo looked back at the still-quiet Sori, then shot a laser-like glare at the OS resident standing opposite her.
The resident, interpreting this as a sign to leave, bowed awkwardly to Hyun Woo and shuffled to a bed nearby.
“Notify.”
Sori, still distracted by the OS resident, seemed to have missed Hyun Woo’s word again.
Hyun Woo’s brows furrowed in annoyance, his expression cooling instantly.
“Losing focus since this morning,” he remarked, clicking his fingers at Sori to come closer.
Sori, standing near the patient’s bed, moved towards him as if pulled by a magnet. She came right up to him.
Hyun Woo’s curling finger uncurled and lightly flicked her small, round forehead.
The light flick dropped off, causing Sori to squint her eyes briefly.
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.
