“Are you sure you’re really okay?”
“I’m fine. I just got a little injured while playing soccer with the kids.”
“At your age, why would you play soccer?”
“I can still manage.”
Cheoljung rotated his shoulder once and smiled brightly. If you just look at his bright face, it seemed like nothing had happened.
Dajeong pulled a chair from the corner and sat down.
“Dad, you should make Kimchi now.”
“What kind of Kimchi is without shape?”
“I understand. Then you be the referee.”
Cheoljung nodded as if agreeing, then began to ask the same obvious question he always asked.
Whether there was any pain, whether it wasn’t hard to fly. Even though he had asked these questions thousands of times, he didn’t seem to get tired of them.
By the time Dajeong said she was okay about ten times, he finally changed the topic. Of course, it was a question too familiar.
“Is Yeongjin doing well too?”
“Yes. He’s always doing well.”
“That’s good. As long as everyone is doing well. But… Dajeong, why do you look like that?”
“Why does my expression look like what?”
“You look full of worries.”
“……”
It seems that even though she tried to hide it, it was noticeable from her expression. Dajeong slowly let go of the awkward smile she had put on.
It was time to say the words she didn’t want to say, that uncomfortable talk.
“……Dad, is there something wrong at the orphanage?”
“What do you mean? There’s nothing.”
“I heard everything from Yeongjin. You’ve been overdoing it and got hurt. Is the situation at the orphanage not good these days?”
“Dajeong.”
Cheoljung’s warm voice heavily settled down. He spoke calmly, putting strength into his wrinkled eyes.
“You should live your own life now. How long will you care for the family here?”
“What kind of talk is that? In that case, why would dad live his own life when he raised us all.”
The words came out sharp because of her bitter heart. However, Cheoljung just smiled softly without any particular reaction.
A moment of silence flowed, then a baby’s crying was heard beyond the door. It was a room where babies who couldn’t even walk yet stayed just around the corner.
“Please tell me. I’m a family member too. I should know.”
Dajeong pulled the chair close and stared straight at Cheoljung. Then, as if he had no choice, Cheoljung slowly opened his mouth.
“Local government support has been greatly reduced. The sponsorship too. So, it’s been a bit hard these days.”
“Again? What is there to reduce…… Once this month’s salary comes out, I will……”
“Dajeong, don’t say something ridiculous.”
Cheoljung stiffly pursed his lips and spoke harshly. His angry expression in front of her was quite scary, even though she didn’t realize it because she usually heard his nagging on the phone when sending donations.
“You should take good care of the people you need to look after. That’s your job.”
“Youngjin? Even if you left him in the middle of Siberia, he’d fuss around and grow well. You know that, right?”
“Not Youngjin.”
“……?”
“You, Dajeong, you. Why aren’t you as kind to yourself as you are to others? Have you ever made money for yourself?”
“Dad…….”
His heavy words, mixed with worry and admonition, pierced a corner of my heart.
However, the past spent as an older sister to my younger sibling and a mother was too long to think of myself first.
Even after hearing these words, I didn’t know what to do. All I could think was that taking care of Principal Dad, who had been a fence for Youngjin and me, was taking care of myself.
Dajeong decided to be stubborn once more.
“Dad, still…….”
Then, the door flung open and a familiar voice flew into the principal’s office.
“Principal, you should come to the nursery… Oh, Dajeong, you’re here?”
“Hello, Teacher Eunhye.”
Dajeong greeted the woman who had come into the room cheerfully. She had started taking care of the children at Hope Orphanage last year.
Wearing an apron stained with milk here and there, she entered the room with a cheerful smile.
“Busy, aren’t you?”
“Don’t even ask.”
“I’m off today, so I’ll help out a bit before I leave.”
“Then I’m grateful.”
“This kid never changes.”
Listening quietly, Cheoljung sighed and joined the conversation. Then, Eunhye quickly opened her mouth, turning her head abruptly.
“The new kid won’t stop crying. He seems to be looking for the principal all the time.”
“He must be scared of unfamiliar arms. I’ll go see him.”
Cheoljung got up from his seat with a grunt. Leaving a word that he would be back soon, he left the principal’s office.
“Dajeong, see you later then.”
“Teacher, wait a moment.”
“Yes?”
“Could we talk a little……,”
“Oh…… I’m a bit busy right now. After I help the principal, then…….”
Eunhye, who had sensed that she was about to say something, attempted to flee, sneaking away. Dajeong quickly grabbed her arm and dragged her into the principal’s office.
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.
