Sa Rang’s eyes were glued to the floor, feeling the pressure under Do Han’s intense stare.
Had she overdone it?
The makeup, far heavier than her usual, was a cause of concern.
Her outfit, resembling that of a wedding guest, was equally embarrassing.
She had visited a salon for the first time ever, not wanting to appear too young in front of Do Han’s twentysixyearold friends.
Ji Woo had done her makeup early in the morning, but it felt awkward nonetheless.
Realizing this won’t work, Ji Woo eventually found a salon where Sa Rang could get her makeup professionally done.
The touch of the professional was truly outstanding.
Sa Rang, who had initially scowled at Ji Woo questioning the need for all this effort, was left in awe looking at her fully styled reflection in the mirror.
She felt glad that she had listened to her friend’s advice.
While not exactly twentysix, she no longer looked merely twenty.
Sa Rang repeatedly thanked the teacher who had worked miracles with makeup alone.
Dressed in the dress recommended by Ji Woo, she truly felt like a different person.
She appeared mature enough to go straight to work.
Sa Rang, who had been worried that Do Han would feel embarrassed in front of his friends because of her, felt this should be okay.
However, as soon as she stood before him, her confidence faded.
Despite her efforts, she was worried that she might still look like a freshman in his eyes.
“Do I look weird?”
With Do Han remaining silent, Sa Rang was getting anxious.
She should have just presented herself as she usually did.
She wondered if she had wasted money needlessly.
Sa Rang’s face turned hot with embarrassment.
“You look weird.”
Sa Rang tightly closed her eyes at Do Han’s indifferent comment.
So, she didn’t look good after all.
The thought of changing her clothes again made her sigh, when Do Han stepped closer.
When Sa Rang instinctively lifted her head, he kissed her without hesitation.
Surprised by the sudden kiss, her eyes widened.
Wrapping his arm around her waist, Do Han deepened the kiss.
Her heart pounded at the intensity of his seemingly gentle but forceful embrace.
It was still 5 pm, not yet sundown, and the fear of being seen made her heart race even more.
Despite that, Do Han’s lips continued to torment her.
Afraid of ruining her carefully applied makeup, Sa Rang gently pushed him away.
Even after a long kiss, Do Han licked his lips as if unsatisfied.
Then, using his thumb, he wiped the smeared lipstick off Sa Rang’s lips.
“Your lipstick is too bold.”
Hearing him say that as an excuse for the kiss, Sa Rang blushed.
She was relieved to interpret it as him saying that everything else was okay.
“Let’s go now.”
“Yes.”
Sa Rang climbed into the passenger seat as Do Han opened the car door for her.
A moment later, he leaned towards her after taking his place in the driver’s seat.
Fearing another kiss, Sa Rang flinched, but Do Han simply fastened her seatbelt.
“Th, thank you.”
Sa Rang, who had not had the occasion to ride in a car, hadn’t even thought of fastening the seatbelt.
Her mind was a mess from the heated kiss moments ago.
She had wanted to appear grownup, but felt as if she had already messed up from the start, causing her to frown secretly.
Seeing this, Do Han chuckled.
She finally looked like the Sa Rang he knew.
He found her adorable and wished to take her straight home, forgetting about the evening plans.
With a regretful heart, he started the car.
The car carrying the two of them left the alley, under the watchful eyes of someone from afar.
It was Hye Ri who had come to celebrate Do Han’s birthday.
Her clenched fist crumpled the paper bag she was holding.
It contained a birthday present for Do Han.
((())) ((())) ((()))
The meeting place was a hotel restaurant.
Sa Rang followed Do Han inside, glancing around nervously.
The luxurious interior made her tense.
At least she had dressed up, and for that, she felt relieved.
The place was incomparable to the snack bar she had visited with Ji Woo for her own birthday.
Was it customary to meet friends in such places when one turned twentysix?
Sa Rang felt intimidated even before meeting Do Han’s friends.
“It’s been a while.”
Do Han greeted the man and woman sitting side by side at the table where they had stopped.
Sa Rang, tense, bowed to them.
“Hello.”
“Ah, yes. Hello.”
They both bowed in response to her greeting. Among them, the man widened his eyes at the sight of Do Han.
“She really brought her girlfriend.”
“She said she would come with me.”
Do Han offered Sa Rang a seat and sat down beside her.
“I never thought you were serious. When have you ever brought anyone when we meet?”
“I didn’t believe it either. I thought Suho was lying.”
Suho and his girlfriend, Ayoung, looked at Sa Rang with curiosity.
Sa Rang didn’t know how to respond to their curious stares.
“Nice to meet you. Do Han is my former colleague, Park Suho.”
“I’m Kim Ayoung. I was in the same department as Ji Do Han.”
Upon their introductions, Sa Rang nodded her head.
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.
