It was a lesson he had engraved in himself since returning to Korea.
He took off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and opened the study door.
“Now, enough brooding. Time to go and make up.”
Min Hyuk shook off his thoughts of the past and did a light neck stretch before stepping out of the study.
His priority was to appease the miffed Da Hyun.
Once the feeling of alienation faded, Da Hyun could finally breathe easily.
Da Hyun felt suffocated and dizzy, as if she had a headache with throbbing temples and vertigo. Strangely, these symptoms were new to her, only surfacing since she met him.
“Why does it feel wrong to like him too much?” she wondered, confused by her changing emotions. Yet, now she felt calmer than before.
Earlier, when Min Hyuk knocked and called her, she couldn’t respond. She thought he might have misunderstood that she was angry.
Now that her aversion had faded, she felt okay to see him.
Da Hyun opened the bedroom door, intending to explain why she hadn’t answered, but froze, seeing Min Hyuk blocking the doorway.
“Min Hyuk? Were you standing here the whole time?”
“No, I just came up from the study.”
Caught off guard, Da Hyun blinked rapidly, looking at him.
“Da Hyun.”
“Yes?”
“I’m sorry for acting like a petulant teenager. I was too excited about our first date.”
Seeing Min Hyuk’s slumped shoulders, uncharacteristic for his stature, Da Hyun’s lips twitched into a smile. Without the strange feeling of alienation, it felt good to look at him again.
Noticing her slight lip twitch, Min Hyuk asked cautiously, “Are you still mad?”
She pursed her lips and shook her head. “I wasn’t angry. I don’t get angry over things like that.”
“Then why did you leave so coldly?”
“That’s…”
Min Hyuk’s heart sank at her reluctant demeanor. He wanted to know every small thought that crossed her mind, despite knowing it was an obsession.
“If you don’t want to talk about it, it’s fine. As long as you weren’t angry. Are you going to shower now?”
“Yes, I should. And so should you.”
“Right, I’ll shower too.”
He wanted to ask her reason but refrained, not wanting to press her against her will.
“Since we both need to shower, why don’t we do it together?”
His sly grin and suggestive look caught Da Hyun off guard. She almost agreed reflexively.
Gathering her wits, she firmly refused. “Are you crazy? Absolutely not.”
“But we’re married. What’s the problem?”
Min Hyuk grumbled, expecting rejection but still pouting at her firmness.
Unnoticed, his hand had naturally found hers.
“I’m just not ready yet.”
“So, if you’re ready, it’s okay to shower together?”
“That’s, well…”
Their clasped hands tensed and relaxed.
Da Hyun hesitated, biting her lip, when Min Hyuk’s phone rang, disturbing the moment.
His forehead creased at the sound.
“Min Hyuk, you have a call.”
“I know. Ignore it.”
“How can you ignore it? It might be urgent. Answer it.”
Reluctantly, Min Hyuk let go of Da Hyun’s hand and took out his phone.
Seeing the caller ID, his face hardened. When Da Hyun looked curious, he relaxed his expression and turned away.
“Go ahead and shower comfortably. How about a cup of coffee together afterwards?”
“Sounds good.”
Min Hyuk usually didn’t answer calls in the evening, but this seemed urgent.
He flashed a brief smile, then unexpectedly closed the bedroom door behind him as he left.
“Thank goodness. It’s just like usual.”
Once Min Hyuk left, Da Hyun sighed in relief. As long as that strange feeling didn’t surface, Min Hyuk didn’t make her uncomfortable or displeased.
What could that weird feeling be?
No matter how hard she thought, she knew she couldn’t find an answer.
If she felt that sensation or mood again, she decided it would be best to honestly tell Min Hyuk.
“Keeping secrets isn’t good.”
Murmuring to herself, Da Hyun gazed briefly at the closed door before heading to the bathroom.
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.
