“When you know everything, in the end, it’s Dajeong who gets hurt. Haven’t you thought about Dajeong’s feelings?”
Tak, when Taesang stopped his steps, a cold friction sound echoed. He just turned his head slightly and looked at Subin.
“It doesn’t matter. I won’t hurt anymore now.”
Saying that, Taesang moved on.
Even if it was selfish, even if it was contradictory, there was no choice. Since the day I hid from the world, this feeling had grown like this.
Taesang exerted strength in his legs once again, giving more force to the already sunny eyes. It couldn’t be undone now.
On the day of the art festival at Youngjin’s school.
Dajeong’s steps passing through the school gate were light.
Taesang had decided to attend Youngjin’s performance in the afternoon. It was because of that decision. Mergers, route expansions—Taesang had been extremely busy lately, leaving no time to spare. Because of this, Dajeong had already prepared herself for the possibility that he might not come.
But he did his best to create time. He adjusted his work hours, willingly worked overtime on days when he wasn’t flying.
Seeing his efforts to keep the promise was heartening for Dajeong. With a pleased smile, she found herself near the main building.
‘He mentioned the Small Auditorium…?’
Youngjin had said he would be at a photo exhibition of his friends from the photo club until the performance started. Checking the guide map for the location of the Small Auditorium, Dajeong lightly pivoted on her toes.
‘SunA Photo Exhibition’
Inside the hall, male students of similar builds gathered in groups here and there. Wearing the same clothes, it wasn’t easy to find her younger brother. However, she noticed a guy in casual clothes from a distance.
“Huh…?”
A guy with a loosely worn long-sleeved white shirt, muscular yet slightly chubby arms, and light brown hair. Somehow, he seemed familiar. Dajeong walked towards the guy. Then, she felt a light tap on her shoulder.
“Noona.”
“Oh, Youngjin.”
When she turned her head, Youngjin, wearing a white T-shirt under the school uniform, came into view. He had grown taller, and now she had to raise her head quite a bit to look at him.
“You came early?”
“Yeah, wanted to check out the festival.”
“There’s not much to see.”
“Then why did you call me?”
Teasing Dajeong for no reason, she heard a familiar voice in her ear.
“Dajeong-ah.”
“…?”
Dajeong turned her head to the side. When she did, she saw Subin’s face, smiling gently.
“Subin oppa, what brings you here?”
For some reason, his back looked familiar. Dajeong stared at him with a slightly surprised expression.
“Well… Somehow ended up here.”
“What? Do you know anyone among the students here?”
“No.”
He still spoke mysteriously. With a puzzled expression, Youngjin opened his mouth.
“Noona, are you friends with the teacher?”
“Teacher?”
“Yeah. This guy is a temporary advisor for the photo club. He helps with the festival preparations, takes pictures, and stuff.”
“Ah… the photo club.”
After hearing the explanation, Subin’s appearance now made sense to her. Dajeong was silently surprised by the coincidence of encountering Subin again.
“But how does noona know the teacher?”
“Huh? Uh, well…”
To explain Subin’s presence, she couldn’t avoid mentioning the incident of that day. But that was something that could unsettle her younger brother.
Dajeong blinked awkwardly, searching for the right words.
Then, Subin, in a cheerful manner, joined the conversation.
“We first met on a plane. I was a passenger, and we somehow became friends.”
“On a plane? Ah, right. The teacher mentioned coming from the U.S.”
With a somewhat acceptable explanation, Dajeong loosely agreed.
Dajeong blinked awkwardly, searching for the right words.
At that moment, Subin enthusiastically joined the conversation.
“We first met on a plane. I was a passenger, and somehow we became friends.”
“On a plane? Ah, right. The teacher mentioned coming from the U.S.”
With an explanation that was somewhat acceptable, Dajeong loosely agreed.
At that moment, a male student, with his shirt soaked in sweat, approached Youngjin, shaking it off.
“Hey, help us move the frames.”
“You guys are still doing that? Anyway… Nuna, just a moment.”
“Yeah, sure. Go quickly.”
Youngjin left quickly after leaving those words, joining his friends. After her brother disappeared, Dajeong looked at Subin with a puzzled gaze.
“Thank you for answering on my behalf.”
“You looked uncomfortable. Is Youngjin the brother you mentioned back then?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Dajeong awkwardly shook hands with Subin and continued speaking.
“…I couldn’t say anything because I didn’t want to recall that incident.”
“I thought as much.”
“Thank you.”
For Youngjin, that incident was like a thorn stuck in his throat.
On the day of the piano concours, Dajeong was displeased with her parents’ Busan-like attitude. It felt like her brother had been snatched away by their parents, and she felt jealous.
Eventually, Dajeong vented her frustration on the easygoing Youngjin, who, in turn, expressed his annoyance while crying.
Before the incident occurred, the last thing her brother said was, ‘I don’t need a sister like you.’
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
