A Relentless Senior (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 13
“Are you really not going?”
Sa Rang glanced around and crept slowly toward Do Han.
She had worried someone else might be there, but luckily, he was alone.
“Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
She reached the foot of the bed and examined Do Han’s face.
Her heart pounded wildly at the sight of him with his eyes closed.
What was she even doing here?
Consumed only by worry that Do Han might be sick, she hadn’t realized where she was or what she was doing.
His house. His bed. And the man lying right in front of her.
The person she liked was just an arm’s length away.
Her face burned so fiercely she couldn’t catch her breath.
What should she do now?
She couldn’t just leave again, yet she couldn’t shake him awake either.
As she silently admired Do Han’s sleeping face, his eyes slowly opened.
“Aren’t you supposed to stop doing morning calls?”
“Huh?”
Caught red-handed, Sa Rang flustered like a thief.
Do Han looked up at her for a moment, then sat up.
“I thought you’d stopped.”
“You’d prefer that, wouldn’t you?”
“Yeah.”
She’d hoped he’d say no, but his immediate “yes” made her knees go weak.
Hiding her emotions with effort, she asked again,
“Am I bothering you?”
“A little.”
It hurt her more than when she’d been told to like someone else.
She’d never regretted confessing—except at this very moment.
Do Han avoided looking at her wounded expression and raked his fingers through his hair, as if scolding himself for what he’d just said.
Yet again, words he’d soon regret slipped out.
“Are you really going on that blind date?”
“Should I… not go?”
Not knowing what to do with her hopeful, expectant gaze, Do Han unintentionally spoke his true feelings.
“Don’t go.”
For an instant, Sa Rang’s eyes widened.
She even felt a chill run down her spine, as if her heart had dropped to her toes.
What did that mean?
Did he not want her to go on the blind date?
As Sa Rang struggled to untangle her thoughts, Do Han sighed.
“I guess I’m still not sober. Just pretend you didn’t hear that and leave. I’ll go to class anyway.”
He got off the bed and walked into the bathroom.
The moment the bathroom door shut, Sa Rang collapsed onto the bed.
She no longer had the strength to stand.
With just a single sentence from him, she’d swung between heaven and hell.
“But I already heard it—what am I supposed to do about that?”
How could she possibly pretend not to hear words that had pierced deep into her chest?
For a fleeting moment, she’d thought he cared enough to hold her back—and her heart had plummeted.
“You jerk.”
The curse slipped out naturally.
Why on earth had she come here?
What did she care if he was sick or not?
Did she really have no self-respect at all?
What made that man—who told her to like someone else—so special that she’d barged into his home just to check if he was alive?
Frustrated with the legs that had brought her here, Sa Rang punched them lightly with her fists.
Just then, the bathroom door swung open, and her head turned reflexively.
“Aaah!”
Startled by Do Han’s bare upper body, Sa Rang quickly covered her face with both hands.
Though it lasted only a split second, she’d already seen his firm muscles.
She hadn’t even touched him, yet she could almost feel their solidity in her palms.
Even though he was wearing pants, his perfectly proportioned torso reminded her of a men’s underwear model from a magazine.
When she screamed as if she’d seen something indecent, Do Han frowned.
“Anyone watching would think I’d barged into your house.”
“What—what is it? Why’d you come out without a shirt?”
“I thought you’d left. What are you doing on my bed if you’re not gone yet?”
“I’m going, I’m going. I was just about to leave.”
Still covering her eyes, Sa Rang stood up and shuffled forward hesitantly.
Once she safely opened the door and left the house, Do Han pulled out some underwear from his closet.
He’d taken off his T-shirt to shower but realized he’d forgotten to bring clean underwear.
Assuming Sa Rang had already left, he’d walked out without hesitation—only to be surprised she was still there.
But it wasn’t like he’d come out completely naked.
Do Han turned his eyes toward his bed where Sa Rang had been sitting.
“She makes things awkward in all sorts of ways.”
Now it seemed he’d think of her every time he lay on this bed.
Sa Rang and Ji Woo sat on a bench in front of the library, enjoying the spring breeze.
Cherry blossoms were in full bloom.
It was a shame they had to study for exams on such a beautiful day.
“Aren’t you meeting Tae Hoon oppa?”
Sa Rang asked, watching the falling petals.
“I saw him briefly earlier—well, we’re going to study together at the library tomorrow.”
“Don’t worry about me. Go see him. You spent all weekend at home because of me.”
Ever since Ji Woo got a boyfriend, she’d felt guilty about leaving Sa Rang alone and hadn’t gone out all last weekend.
Sa Rang had recently been unwell, and on top of that, had been rejected by Do Han—so Ji Woo had felt especially sorry for her.
Understanding her friend’s feelings, Sa Rang assured her there was no need.
“What do you mean, because of you? I just didn’t feel like going out since it was raining.”
Changing the subject with an excuse, Ji Woo checked the time on her phone.
“We should get up in just a bit.”
Sa Rang’s blind date was in thirty minutes.
Ji Woo was even more excited than her friend about the upcoming meeting.
“He really is a good guy, so give it a try, okay?”
Wanting Sa Rang to experience love too, Ji Woo sincerely hoped the blind date would go well.
“Weren’t you saying you and Yoon Jae matched well before?”
“It’d be fine if it worked out with Yoon Jae too.”
“So anyone’s fine, as long as it’s not Do Han oppa?”
Seeing Sa Rang’s hazy smile, Ji Woo’s chest tightened.
The girl about to go on a blind date showed neither nervousness nor anticipation.
If that was how she felt, why had she agreed to go at all?
“Just be honest with me.”
“About what?”
“You declared you’d go on a blind date right in front of Do Han oppa—while never actually intending to date anyone else, right?”
Sa Rang couldn’t deny it—it was partly true.
“It wasn’t to show off… but yes, it was because of Do Han oppa.”
“What does that even mean?”
“He said it’s overwhelming because I’ve never been in a relationship.”
“What?”
“Since I’ve never dated anyone, everything would be new to me, so…”
Ji Woo let out an exasperated sigh, utterly flabbergasted.
“Isn’t that guy just too much? What kind of nonsense is that to say to someone who confessed with so much difficulty? How can he even say those things?”
Fanning herself to calm the fury bubbling inside, Ji Woo’s flushed face wouldn’t cool down.
The more she thought about it, the hotter she became.
Who did he think he was to dismiss someone’s feelings like that?
Ji Woo trembled with rage from head to toe.
“So that’s why you’re going on a blind date? Thinking that if you meet someone else, Do Han oppa might accept your confession?”
“He still said no, even then.”
“Wow. He’s seriously the worst. Why do you even like someone like him?!”
She couldn’t help but raise her voice.
Unable to contain her boiling anger, Ji Woo shot up from the bench.
Sa Rang checked the time on her wristwatch and stood up too.
“Let’s go. We’ll be late at this rate.”
“Why go on a blind date if you don’t even plan to try?”
“If he seems nice, I’ll give it a shot.”
“You’re lying.”
“I’m not lying. If I meet different people, maybe I’ll realize how foolish I was to like someone like Do Han oppa—and regret it. That’s why I’m going on this blind date: to find someone better.”
So she could maybe forget him.
After all, he’d already said no.
Even though her feelings for him hadn’t faded even a little, surely effort would make a difference somewhere.
It might take time, but someday, she’d be able to let go.
“Yeah. I hope you quickly realize how hard it is to find someone with a worse personality than Do Han oppa.”
Still grumbling, Ji Woo launched into a full-blown rant against Do Han.
She was even more annoyed that he hadn’t flinched at all when the blind date was mentioned, and furious that he hadn’t shown concern despite knowing Sa Rang was hurting because of him.
She even shuddered in disgust, calling him unbearable—especially after hearing he’d nodded along when Tae Hoon praised the junior who was Sa Rang’s blind date.
Watching Ji Woo’s uncharacteristically fierce outburst, Sa Rang resolved never to tell her about what had happened at Do Han’s house that morning.
If Ji Woo found out that Do Han—the one who’d hurt her so deeply—had told her not to go on the blind date, she’d probably march straight to his place immediately.
Despite drinking heavily the previous night, Do Han called out Tae Hoon for another drink today.
It was the time Sa Rang would be on her blind date with Jae Sung.
Left alone at home, he kept imagining the two of them together—it was driving him crazy.
She’d matched well with Jung Yoon Jae, so she’d probably get along with Jae Sung too.
Jae Sung was friendly and kind, especially favored by seniors.
Do Han had met him through Tae Hoon.
Since Jae Sung was Tae Hoon’s junior in their club, he’d often been invited to their drinking sessions—and they’d grown close over time.
From their first meeting, Jae Sung hadn’t been intimidated by Do Han’s blunt manner like others.
Even when Do Han acted coldly, Jae Sung would always approach him warmly with a smile.
Naturally, Do Han, being human after all, had gradually drawn closer to Jae Sung’s bright personality.
“I wonder how Jae Sung and Sa Rang are getting along.”
As the matchmaker, Tae Hoon was naturally curious about their meeting.
It mattered even more since Sa Rang was Ji Woo’s friend.
“Their personalities seem similar—they’ll probably talk well together, don’t you think?”
It had been just recently when Tae Hoon was eating with Jae Sung. Jae Sung suddenly begged him for a blind date introduction, and Tae Hoon immediately thought of Sa Rang.
Both had gentle natures—he figured they’d suit each other well.
Do Han finished his drink and frowned, as if the alcohol tasted bitter.
“Yeah. They’re probably having a good time.”
“Just the fact that he’s nice to you proves he’s mature. Even though you push people away so harshly, he still treats you with respect—he’s destined for great things.”
“Yeah. Jae Sung’s a good kid.”
That’s exactly why the alcohol tasted bitter today.
Seeing Do Han pour himself another drink silently, Tae Hoon took the bottle and refilled his empty glass.
“Didn’t you drink yesterday too?”
“I won’t drink tomorrow.”
As Do Han emptied his glass again, he saw Jae Sung walk in through the shop door.
Noticing Do Han’s surprised expression, Tae Hoon turned to look behind him.
“Huh? What are you doing here?”
How had the guy, who should’ve been on a blind date right now, ended up here?
Jae Sung bowed politely to the two bewildered men and sat down beside Tae Hoon.
“You’re still here? I thought maybe I’d find you here.”
Earlier, while heading to the blind date, Jae Sung had spoken with Tae Hoon and heard he was with Do Han.
On a hunch, he’d dropped by—and was glad to find them both here.
“I’ll have one too, please.”
Jae Sung accepted the glass the staff brought over and held out his hand toward Tae Hoon.
Though filled with questions, Tae Hoon poured him a drink first.
“Why did you two part ways so early?”
Tae Hoon asked the question Do Han wanted to ask.
Jae Sung emptied his glass, even popped an appetizer into his mouth, before answering.
“I’m sorry, but she’s just not my type.”
“What’s your type, then?”
Tae Hoon gave an incredulous look—he’d deliberately introduced someone with a similar personality.
“A fox-like woman.”
“What?”
“The girl I met today didn’t seem like that type. I’m not really into kind girls.”
“That’s surprising. You don’t look like the type who’d dislike fox-like women.”
“A fox is better than a bear. There’s a lively, bouncy charm to it.”
Just as Jae Sung reached for another skewer—having enjoyed the appetizer—the sound of Do Han slamming his glass down hard on the table startled him.
Worried he’d done something wrong, Jae Sung slowly put the skewer back down, but Do Han stood up.
“Going to the restroom?”
Seeing Do Han’s unusual expression, Tae Hoon asked.
“Going home.”
“Now? Suddenly?”
“Yeah.”
“But why, hyung? I just got here.”
Jae Sung, who usually admired and followed Do Han closely, looked disappointed that he was leaving so soon.
He’d even cut his blind date short just to see him—but their meeting had been far too brief.
Do Han stared at the crestfallen Jae Sung with sharp eyes.
“Because I can’t stand the sight of you.”
With a cold, expressionless face, Do Han spat out the cruel words and stormed out.
Tae Hoon and Jae Sung blinked at each other, stunned.
“Hyung… did I do something wrong?”
“Beats me.”
“It seems like Do Han hyung is mad at me.”
Feeling sorry for Jae Sung’s sad expression, Tae Hoon poured him another drink and placed a skewer in his hand.
“He’s always been this harsh—it’s not new. Don’t worry about it, just eat.”
He couldn’t figure out what had ruffled Do Han’s feathers today.
It wasn’t like he was even a teenager going through puberty.
Shaking his head, Tae Hoon worried about his friend, whose mood swings had grown worse lately.
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.
