Jun grabbed my wrist and turned my body to face him. I tried to step back to make sure this scene wasn’t visible from a distance, but my wrist was grabbed again, and the intentionally widened gap was awkwardly narrowed.
The wind that made the sea sway came to us, even from a distance, blowing our hair in one direction.
“You, haven’t forgotten, have you?”
“What are you talking about?”
“We’re going to have an everlasting love, right? Just like we’ve been doing from that day until now.”
My chest swelled today several times as if it might not withstand it.
“It doesn’t seem like you’re angry because I lied.”
“I’m not angry. There’s no reason to be angry.”
“Well, that’s fortunate.”
“And it wasn’t a lie. In the end, those words became a reality.”
“Oh, those words. Everlasting love… Yeah. It seems like it’s really like that. I did well saying those words back then. Me.”
Jun sent a clear laugh through the breeze.
“Yeah, that’s right. The magical words that awaken the footbath fairy.”
“…What? Footbath fairy?”
Yes, that’s right.
To the bewildered Jun, I responded with a bright smile instead of an answer.
A bright smile like the day I told Jun about my love while walking through the footbath.
“Wow, the beer in the rural village is different. Is it made with hot spring water?”
After successfully finishing today’s shooting.
Jun, Hyunsoo, Jungeun, Mr. Jihun, Ms. Minseo, and I, six people who were heading from the shooting location to the accommodations in a similar direction, found a famous Nagasaki jjamppong restaurant nearby.
The three women sat side by side, and the other three sat facing us. Even though there was no romantic atmosphere, this formation reminded me of a fresh college student meeting.
Of course, if Jungeun and Hyunsoo hear it, it’s going to be a big problem. Oh, right. It wasn’t just these two. There was one more person here.
“Please don’t drink anymore, author-nim.”
A man who stared at me intently, worrying that I might get drunk early.
Jihun, who had just entered the store earlier, tried to sit across from me in the order he entered. However, at that moment, this man intervened and disrupted the peaceful lineup. A moment passed when people who knew our relationship and those who didn’t felt bewildered.
I wonder if Jihun, who is still sitting next to me, is concerned. Or is there something so strange about his expression now?
Kim Jun, please stop worrying so much. Don’t you know that you’re the only one for me? How much more do I have to tell you to put your mind at ease? You fool.
“Author-nim.”
“…Yes?”
“It felt like your eyes were cursing me.”
Did he really feel that I was saying in my eyes, “This fool”?
“There’s no way.”
“Tell me honestly.”
“I really didn’t.”
“But your eyes said so.”
“Oh, right. Haru noona!”
“What?”
Fortunately, Hyunsoo, who had been talking about the rural beer since earlier, called me, and everyone’s attention turned to me.
“Noona, did you sleep well yesterday?”
“Yeah, I slept well.”
“There’s no way.”
“Yeah? But I really slept well. I came to the shooting location on time without being late.”
“Hmm… Noona, today when you briefly left Eun noona alone, did you meet Director Kang? But Noona’s accommodation air conditioner is broken, she said?”
There was a thudding sound as my chest sank.
“Since it’s midsummer, the air conditioner repair schedule is delayed these days. Unfortunately, the repairman was scheduled to come on the day of Noona’s accommodation check-in. No matter how much we pressed the bell, no one came out. I went again this morning, but it said no one was present. So, today, the assistant director and Director Kang even contacted me?”
The feeling of my chest sinking, already having dropped once, now felt like it was pushing down in three stages.
Instinctively, I glanced at Jun. Really, there’s no answer. I glanced at Jun, who seemed to be saying with his eyes, “There’s no answer, Haru.” If looking at Jun could provide an answer, I would stare harder, but it wasn’t the case, so I became more frustrated.
I wonder if I should blame Hyunsoo for bringing up such a topic in a crowded place. Or is it a problem that I didn’t tell Hyunsoo in advance that I planned to stay at the same accommodation as Jun?
No, no. I didn’t come to eat Nagasaki jjamppong or anything.
“Haru, I stayed at the accommodation I mentioned yesterday. Since I didn’t receive a call about the air conditioner repairman, we urgently slept together. But why is that? Kim Hyunsoo, were you so curious about that?”
Without showing any signs of being taken aback, Jeongeun, with her smooth expression, scolded Hyunsoo.
“Oh, I see. Rather than being so curious about that, Director Kang just asked briefly.”
After throwing the question he just asked, Hyunsoo drank his beer with a simple expression, as if there was nothing more to see.
During the moment I was about to heave a sigh, Jeongeun looked at me, shook her head slightly, and smiled. At that moment, an even greater warmth spread over my already flushed face, and I fanned myself continuously.
Soon, we started sharing today’s main difficulties while drinking beer.
Minseo shared the story of how difficult it must have been for Ms. Minseo to enter and exit a footbath hotter than the scorching sun in midsummer. Jihun, who watched that hardship right next to her, also indirectly suffered.
However, even in the midst of that, the director who didn’t give any okay sign was the biggest problem, a heartwarming conclusion.
“Well then, everyone. Haru noona, too, take a rest. Let’s have a refreshing cheers with the rural village beer before the jjamppong comes out.”
“It’s not a rural village; it’s a seaside village.”
Ignoring my tantrum, Hyunsoo gathered everyone’s glasses in the middle.
In the daytime, under the full heat of midsummer, our faces were filled with more refreshing smiles than the beer.
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.
