But he doesn’t have an employee badge, and his attire looks like plain casual clothes.
Dajeong looked at the man with a puzzled gaze. However, he was engrossed in choosing clothes, muttering to himself.
Finally, Dajeong spoke first.
“Are you an employee here?”
“Yes. Well, something like that.”
The man answered casually as he pulled out a blouse this time.
“Here, try this on too.”
When he said that with a kind smile, at that moment, a heavy voice came from behind.
“Who told you to make someone wear clothes, huh?”
Taesang, who had entered without notice, stood between the man and me with a very irritated aura.

Dajeong, surprised, shrunk her shoulders and anxiously glanced back and forth with her eyes.
“Hey, hey, don’t look at me like that. It’s giving me the chills.”
The man used the blouse as a shield and spoke. Taesang pushed aside the thin barrier with his fingertips.
The man with his bare face smiled, stroking his neck, and spoke again.
“I just recommended clothes that I thought would look good on you. Can’t you even do that much?”
“Why are you doing this?”
“Just, you know, a dedicated professional attitude?”
Throwing a question-like answer, he casually tilted his waist. Just then, Dajeong and the man’s eyes, who had been peeking from behind Taesang, met.
He smiled brightly and shook hands.
“Hello. Sorry for the late greeting. I’m Taesang’s friend, Hyunoh. I saw him passing by and struck up a conversation.”
“Friend…?”

Dajeong stepped aside one step from Taesang’s shadow and said.
“Yes. We’ve been friends since we were kids, growing up in the same neighborhood.”
“Oh, I see… But why did you say you were an employee earlier…?”
Dajeong asked, tilting her head.
“Oh, that… Hahaha.”
The man laughed coolly and then patted Taesang’s shoulder.
“Why don’t you explain this awkward situation?”
“Why should I? You approached me with lies from the start.”
“Approach… I just wanted to be friends.”
Hyunoh glanced at Taesang, then bowed his head as if conceding. Then, as if unavoidable, he began introducing himself.

“This department store is operated by our father. So, in a sense, I’m an employee too.”
“Oh…”
Dajeong stood still, letting out a dumbfounded sound.
When he mentioned that he grew up in the same neighborhood as Taesang, she had guessed. He must be from a non-ordinary household.
But this man, in casual attire, is a member of Hyunsong, a leading distribution and sales company in Korea. Dajeong looked at him with a slightly surprised expression.
Hyunoh then smiled coolly and spoke.
“It doesn’t quite suit me, does it?”
“Oh, no.”
Dajeong quickly erased her surprised expression, raised her head, and looked at him. Hyunoh then smiled and extended his hand.
“Anyway, nice to meet you.”

“I’ll be in your care. I’m Handa Jeong.”
Dajeong politely raised both hands.
“Just bow or nod.”
Taesang grabbed his wrist and pressed it down. At the sound of a quiet growl, Hyunoh quietly swallowed his saliva.
No matter how long they’ve known each other, it seemed inevitable that he would feel overwhelmed in front of him.
Dajeong pulled Taesang’s clothes slightly, bringing his gaze to me.
“Your friend is very sociable.”
“Too much.”
“Mr. Taesang is too reserved.”
Dajeong grabbed Taesang’s arm and pulled him towards me as she spoke.

Hyunoh looked at that scene as if surprised. With wide-open eyes and a gaping mouth, he seemed like someone witnessing magic.
Dajeong, slightly covering Taesang’s front, extended her hand again.
“I look forward to working with you.”
“Oh, yes. I look forward to working with you.”
Perhaps due to Taesang’s gaze that came flying and struck her, the handshake felt light, as if it just brushed past. Awkwardly, Dajeong smiled and lowered her hand again.
Then, as if waiting for this moment, Taesang firmly grasped her hand. It was a movement that conveyed a strong passion as if claiming it as his own.
“…….”
Hyunoh now had an expression that seemed completely lost in thought. Taesang’s voluntary act of touching a woman’s body seemed to be quite shocking.
“Uh… Mr. Hyunoh?”
Dajeong cautiously called him.
“Yes? Oh, yes…”

Hyunoh flinched slightly and raised his head. He opened his mouth towards Dajeong with a defensive expression, quickly strengthening the muscles in his flat eyebrows.
“Since we’ve met like this, why not have a drink? Our department store unexpectedly has a great coffee shop…”
“I came to buy clothes, not to drink coffee.”
Taesang calmly interrupted his words. He pulled the held hand back, standing half in front as if, thinking that Hyunoh might snatch her away.
The strong possessiveness felt anew shocked Dajeong. Things she had not realized when they were alone together.
Dajeong managed to withdraw her hand from his and bumped his fist lightly.
“Mr. Taesang.”
As if suggesting, Dajeong pulled his arm slightly.
“I’m a bit thirsty and would like to rest. Let’s go for coffee.”
This was the first time she had bumped fists with Taesang. He had not given her a chance to do anything, grabbing her hand every day, leaving no room for such actions.

Dajeong tightly wrapped her arms around his. His firm biceps were thicker and more robust than she had thought. A strange feeling of being secure yet somehow overwhelmed filled her hands.
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.
