Min Hyuk’s gaze was unknowingly caught in the lazily folded eyes of Da Hyun, who was offering him a glass.
He stared at her without a word for a moment. Da Hyun felt awkward and cleared her throat.
She thought it could be surprising for him since it was the first time she had approached first.
“……Sure.”
Min Hyuk lifted his glass with a faint smile on his lips.
Clink
The transparent wine glasses filled with red liquid clashed.
Although his eyes reflected joy, she did not know.
That the night wouldn’t end with just one drink.
The next day.
Da Hyun slowly lifted her heavy eyelids under the pressure weighing down her body.

Anyway, how did I sleep in the bed? Even drunk, did I manage to walk up the stairs to the bedroom without twisting my ankle?
Ji Yeon had fled the house, and feeling somewhat exhilarated, I enjoyed the wine he poured.
It was after meeting Min Hyuk that I got to see Ji Yeon embarrassed or uncomfortable because of me.
Seeing her flustered because things didn’t go her way felt as thrilling as an electric shock.
Well, it wasn’t bad. It’s over being the only one taken advantage of. The discrimination and disregard ended when I left my home.
It felt like my head was floating in the sky like a cloud.
I felt lighthearted and relieved.
Whether Min Hyuk knew about my relieved and exciting feelings, he silently refilled my glass whenever it was empty.
He kept pouring as if he were going to empty the opened wine mechanically.
Drinking and drinking because it was refilled…

I don’t know how many times it was repeated. I crossed the line carelessly, unable to gauge my alcohol tolerance.
“Ah, my head.”
I should have controlled myself, but I didn’t.
So what happened as I was drinking? What kind of conversation did we have?
Attempting to recall, Da Hyun let out a groan due to the headache from the hangover.
The events of last night seemed hidden behind a hazy fog.
Anyway, what is this heavy object suppressing my body?
It even feels like human skin. It feels like there are not one, but two people lying on the bed.
“……”
Da Hyun’s hand, which was feeling around the object wrapped around her waist, became stiff.
“……”
Da Hyun, who had been suppressing the nonchalant body pressing down, blinked rapidly.
The hazy consciousness became clearer as the effects of alcohol disappeared.

“……”
Da Hyun swallowed the saliva that didn’t seem to go down her throat, and cautiously withdrew her hand.
She struggled to remember what happened last night.
Gradually rising memories sent chills down her spine, making it stand straight. She swallowed the scream that was about to burst from her throat.
In astonishment, she slowly raised her hand and covered her mouth.
Oh my God.
Did I have an accident? With whom?
Really? But I don’t remember?
Denying reality, Da Hyun tightly closed her eyes.
This can’t be. It’s a dream.
“This, this is a dream.”
When she opened her eyes again, she was lying alone in bed, hoping to greet a refreshing morning, taking steady breaths.

Why am I lying in the same bed with this man?
And so lovingly like a real couple…
Da Hyun belatedly realized that what she was currently laying her head on was not a pillow.
If she hadn’t shut her mouth, the suppressed scream might have burst out.
If it wasn’t a dream, this situation couldn’t be explained. But the cruel reality made her feel it was not a dream.
In surprise and drunkenness, she was speechless. Her heart felt like it was freezing then suddenly beat fast. Blood rushed backwards in her body, heating her up. She was fortunate that she could still breathe.
She felt hot breath from the top of her head. At the low sound of breathing, Da Hyun pretended not to know and tossed and turned.
She naturally tried to get away, but the arm around her waist did not budge.
Da Hyun pushed the arm around her waist with all her strength.
However, when she confirmed that his sturdy arm did not budge, Da Hyun muttered quietly.

“Mr. Min Hyuk… You’re not sleeping, are you? You’ve woken up, haven’t you?”
At that, a gasping breath erupted from his chest instead of the regular breathing from the top of her head.
“Ah, I’ve been caught.”
He laughed mischievously and smiled brightly. Da Hyun squinted her eyes dazzled by his bright smile.
His smile was like a boy full of mischief.
“Don’t you think you’re too active to pretend to be asleep?”
Min Hyuk, with a hint of a smile, lovingly touched her cheek with his index finger.
“Whe, when exactly did you wake up?”
Da Hyun was too flustered, even though it was for a moment, she failed to recognize that he touched her cheek.
“Before you woke up.”
“… Then let go. Don’t keep holding me.”
“Do you mind if I keep doing this?”
His voice was languid and teasing. While saying that he wouldn’t let go, he lifted the arm that hadn’t moved even though she had pushed with all her strength.
As if she had been waiting, Da Hyun sprang up like a spring.
The bed was spacious enough for four adults to sleep.
He might not know, but it was her first time sleeping with a man.
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.
