“You were so loyal to Jo Dae-hoon, did you end up becoming a real dog?”
Je-seung-hee, filled with resentment, looked coldly at Director Kim. However, Director Kim, who had solidified his expression like a stone statue, didn’t say a word.
“Who got you out of the facility, into the factory, and educated you? Wasn’t it our father, Director Ji Tae-gwang?”
“…The late Chairman Ji Tae-gwang, yes.”
“Right. Kim Director, my father is the one who dressed you properly, fed you well, and let you sleep in a warm place.”
“I am aware.”
“You know that, but still act like this? You ungrateful son of a b****! Think about who your original owner was!”
When Seung-hee shouted and raised her hand to hit Director Kim’s shoulder and chest, it was at that moment.
“Why, you’re not letting go?”
The unexpected grip on the raised wrist seemed to surprise Seung-hee, and her eyes, which had been wide open, shook slightly.
“For a dog who doesn’t know gratitude, if you don’t like being hit, behave properly!”
“…Chairman Ji Seung-hee, you are not my original owner, are you?”
“…What?”
“I only worked for Chairman Jo Dae-hoon as instructed by the late Chairman Ji Tae-gwang.”
Seung-hee was dumbfounded by Director Kim’s unexpected words for a while. Then, realizing the force applied to her wrist by the dry hand, she raised her eyes with a painful expression to look at her wrist.
She had always only bossed Kim Director around. That’s why this kind of response was somewhat shocking.
“What did I do wrong?”
Looking down at Seung-hee with a stern gaze, Director Kim suddenly let go of her wrist, which he had held with force. Only then did Seung-hee realize that her approach had been wrong.
“…Oppa.”
“…?”
“Oppa, save me. You know how Jo Dae-hoon messed up the property our father left for us, right? Huh?”
Seung-hee looked at Director Kim, waiting for an answer. Her voice toward him, whose expression could not be read, became somewhat softer.
Although she pulled up the corners of her mouth, laughing like she did in her twenties, the wrinkles around her mouth seemed to become more pronounced as she did.
Even if Gang Tae-seo, who turned away when Seung-hee opened the safe full of evidence of all kinds of misconduct, did not accept it, even if the media or the prosecution took what was inside and stabbed Jo Dae-hoon with it, it might make him drink some water.
Right now, Seung-hee only thought of pulling Jo Dae-hoon down and surviving somehow.
“How much our father loved you, you also remember, oppa…”
“Chairman.”
When Director Kim, who cut off Seung-hee’s words, called her politely, as usual, Seung-hee, who tried to revive the old memory of calling him “oppa,” slowly stiffened her expression.
“I have some urgent matters to attend to today, so I came to get the relevant documents. If it’s okay with you, could you please vacate the seat?”
Drawing a line with her, who affectionately called him “oppa,” Director Kim’s attitude was clear. Director Kim had no intention of meeting Seung-hee’s demands.
“…Is this how it’s going to be?”
“I don’t understand what you mean. I apologize.”
As Director Kim turned away, coldly with a faint sneer, Seung-hee recalled a distant memory. She remembered the man who used to laugh at her, saying he was not the child’s father and that they should correct the situation.
The man who used to look at her with affectionate eyes had also passed the age of fifty. It was thirty years ago that he passionately declared his love for her.
During the time when the river changed its course three times, it was impossible for a person’s heart not to change. What arrogance must she have had to never extend even a trace of warmth? Seung-hee, gnawing at her lips, shouted desperately.
“…Yuri!”
Director Kim, who was heading towards the documents on the desk in the study in response to Seung-hee’s shout, stopped. Then, Seung-hee, who had not let go of the last thread of hope, rushed forward to block his path.
“Yuri has to be saved. Oppa knows, right? Yuri, our Yuri…”
“You don’t need to worry too much about Yuri.”
Indeed, children couldn’t pretend not to know. Seung-hee’s expression brightened at the thought. If she manipulated Yuri well, there might be a way to survive in this pit.
“Really? Then, oppa, Yuri…”
“I understand that Chairman Ji was looking for a good match for Yuri.”
“What…?”
“Although Chairman Ji can be a bit blunt, he is Yuri’s father, after all.”
Smiling, Director Kim, with his head bowed, stepped aside, avoiding Seung-hee. Seung-hee, who felt a significant shock from Director Kim, who turned away not only from her but also from Yuri, was struggling to breathe, gasping for air.
The sound of pressing the password to open the locked drawer echoed. Hearing that sound, Seung-hee, who had suddenly come to her senses, smiled coldly and whispered as if chewing her words.
“He probably doesn’t know. That person, pretending not to know that Yuri is not his daughter. Do you think he knows who Yuri really is?”
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.
