Min Hyuk placed his hand over his rapidly beating heart.
Thump thump, the pounding was so loud. If she had been beside him continuously, it wouldn’t have been strange if she had heard it.
Just like two years ago, it attacked him when he let his guard down.
He felt bitter when Da Hyun first mentioned the wilting cherry tomato, but she was, as always, the Da Hyun he knew.
Unchanging, it drove people mad.
He never imagined two years ago that she would forget him.
Treat them well when they’re around. He didn’t know this would be etched so deeply in his mind.
“Is Mr. Min Hyuk really human? How can a person be this handsome?”
There had been times when she innocently revealed herself, not acting. At first, she hid herself, but gradually Da Hyun started to show her true self.
The relationship tied up when he took a position on behalf of Kang Si Hoon.
There were times when he denied that Da Hyun was extremely adorable. After that, he was completely drawn to her, his heart ached more than hers.
When he found out the woman Si Hoon was seeing was pregnant, he decided to inform Chairman Kang about her existence. He also had to end his relationship with her.
If Kang Si Hoon gets married, there would be no reason to meet Da Hyun.
She was not his woman from the beginning. Min Hyuk naturally decided that he didn’t need to continue meeting Da Hyun.
“…You didn’t meet me just as a substitute, right Mr. Min Hyuk? You didn’t, right? I know it’s not the case but I’m oddly anxious.”
Min Hyuk’s face hardened coldly. Unwanted memories surfaced.
Even though she might have forgotten about me, fragments of memory that make him constantly suffer and blame himself gather.
Her face twisted in despair and disappointment.
Her body crumbled as she buried her face and wept when he told her not to see each other again.
He had to tell her everything was a misunderstanding, but he ended up unable to say that it was a misunderstanding.
No matter how much he tried to erase it by washing and washing again, it was a deep lingering scent that did not disappear.
He remembered his cowardly self, who couldn’t rush straight to her even though she had an accident right in front of his eyes.
Min Hyuk’s face, which had been redhot, turned pale.
After something irreversible happened, it was beyond redemption.
He earnestly realized who she had been to him.
The heart that seemed about to burst a while ago calmed down. Min Hyuk stood in front of the door to Da Hyun’s room.
Could you forgive me a little for wanting to be by your side like this?
Her memory being broken was my fault.
She had never thought that she could make someone happy while she herself was not. She had never felt joy in her life.
Being kicked out of her homeland simply because she was the illegitimate child of the HG Group, she realized at a young age due to her mother.
If her intelligence wasn’t extraordinarily superior, she would probably have lived recklessly, causing all sorts of trouble in Little Rock, America.
Yet she dared to give him happiness. To envision a future.
It took him two years to come back to claim her.
The only reason he really came back to Korea was because of Han Da Hyun.
To become the family she could rely on, to become her husband.
He would be the tree that she could lean on for her lifetime.
Min Hyuk lifted his hand towards the firmly closed door behind which Da Hyun was. With his forehead gently leaning, he slowly closed his eyes.
The first thing that came into view after opening the door was the wallpaper.
“How did I not think to open the door and check?”
Da Hyun locked the door and slowly looked around the room.
“Everyone except Yul knows I like pink series…”
Her only friend Kim Yul, who entered a prestigious British university. The face of Yul, whom Da Hyun saw last two years ago, flickered.
She had been in touch often until half a year ago, but she hadn’t heard from her recently, probably due to graduation.
She thought about reaching out to tell her about the marriage, but didn’t. She didn’t want to unnecessarily surprise her friend who was busy in a foreign country.
Da Hyun decided to wait until Yul contacted her.
“Anyway, it’s really amazing.”
Da Hyun couldn’t help being surprised as it was just like she had taken her desired style and put it in place.
The square mirror with an organized design in the felt lining drawer. She couldn’t take her eyes off the simple modern style Sorbe wallpaper.
She had a silly thought whether he was casting some magic that allowed him to enter someone’s mind and then come out.
Thinking about it, the bed in the bedroom was also exactly to her taste. It was large, that’s why.
The clean, classic design of the creamcolored king bed frame on the herringbone floor stood out with its high durability of solid wood and figured wood, and practical storage space.
On second thought, there wasn’t a single thing that didn’t suit her style.
“The bed is too big after all. I need to buy a separate bed and live in this room.”
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
