Glad, sorry, and grateful at the same time. Taeseo, who was choked up with emotions, softly lay beside her, finding comfort in her mere presence. Then, turning his back, he delicately buried his face in her hair.
“Yoon Jaein.”
“……. ”
“I like you.”
Taeseo’s eyes, confessing to the sleeping Jaein with the help of alcohol, were moist.
“I like you.”
“……. ”
“Without you, I… I don’t know how I lived.”
The child who sought his father’s attention and love realized his position while growing up neglected in indifference.
And he decided not to see his father. He promised not to need his father if his father didn’t need him.
But it wasn’t easy. Despite repeatedly getting hurt and injured emotionally, he couldn’t help but look at his father each time.
But today, he finally decided to let go of the lingering attachment. Now that he had finally met someone who filled all his deficiencies and emptiness.
Taeseo often felt grateful for living in the world where Yoon Jaein breathed. Her smile towards him was a miracle, and a world where he could monopolize the scent of her body became a paradise.
“Yoon Jaein.”
“……. ”
“Jaein.”
Unless she had a nightmare, once Jaein fell asleep, she slept deeply. The sleepless night spent poking her soft flesh with his lips and murmuring at her ear was countless. So, Taeseo finally called his one and only lover without worry.
“I…”
“……. ”
“Love you.”
As soon as the words came out, Taeseo’s face contorted with the word ‘love.’
As if breaking free from a long-held restraint, tears blurred his vision. Just uttering three words seemed to lift the heavy weight off his chest.
Those were words he had avoided for so long, but there was no other way to express his emotions. However, it was not enough. Unable to convey all the tenderness with the words ‘I love you,’ Taeseo brushed his cheek against her hair with a touch of his lips.
Then, suddenly feeling a tightly squeezed heart, Taeseo quietly embraced her from behind.
His lips, leaning gently on her small and delicate shoulders, subtly curved. However, despite the beautiful smile as if drawn, her eyelashes were wet.
“Love you. I love you, Yoon Jaein.”
Saying “I love you” a few more times, Taeseo remained silent for a while. He closed his eyes and silently watched the ripples of love spreading through his wounded heart, tenderly enveloping it. Then suddenly.
I must protect this overwhelming happiness.
A sentence of determination was firmly engraved in his heart.
In the regained tranquility, Taeseo’s consciousness gradually sank.
“In the world, without even changing clothes.”
The grumbling voice was cute. Slowly waking up, Taeseo listened to the nagging directed at him without opening his eyes. A smile formed involuntarily.
“Just a moment…? That means you didn’t even wash up, right?”
“……. ”
Then, I remembered that I must look like a mess. I drank a lot, came home without changing clothes, without even washing up. I just lay down on the bed and fell asleep hugging Jaein.
“Ah, the smell of alcohol.”
Taeseo, who exerted strength on his tightly sealed lips, opened his eyes slightly. The dazzling Jaein, who opened her eyes thinly like the morning sunlight, was looking down at him.
“You said you were busy and would be late, but you’re out drinking.”
“……. ”
“Say something, the liar Kang Taeseo?”
“Um……. ”
“Worrying people and making them wait. Even if you have a mouth, there’s nothing to say, right?”
Knowing the sin he committed, he obediently nodded his head.
Unlike his usual cleanliness, today he looked a bit disheveled. It wasn’t the first time she saw his face before shaving, but today, for some reason, his face looked oddly dejected.
Jaein confirmed the presence of the man who had fallen asleep hugging her as soon as she woke up in the morning.
She smiled, lay back down, and was surprised when she found out that he hadn’t changed his clothes. And after checking the long message from Ted received overnight, she realized that Taeseo had been drinking alone yesterday.
Why didn’t he come home right away? Why did he drink so much alone?
At first, she felt hurt by the man who was undoubtedly hiding something from her. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. But amid all that, she found it amusing that the man who came home and didn’t even wash up looked handsome.
“Really, when you meet your match, even if you do something unpleasant, there comes a moment when you look pretty. It’s like having thick bean paste stuck on your eyes. You can’t even take it off.”
Remembering the words of Mrs. Bae, Jaein bit her lip firmly.
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.
