“Even though you’re so close.”
A pounding heart echoed violently in her forehead. The sense of anxiety and jealousy enveloped him fully.
In a moment of panic, the thought crossed my mind: Did I make Taesang anxious?
It wasn’t because his heart was big, but because I didn’t fully open my heart to him. Unconsciously, I pushed him away and blocked him little by little.
Looking back, I realize that I have always pushed Taesang away little by little. I exerted all my efforts to dissuade him from buying a simple piece of clothing, and I lied, telling him not to come to the concert.
In fact, I might have been anxious. I worried that he might leave me someday, that our worlds were too different to become one.
Perhaps such feelings manifested in my actions without my awareness.
Dajeong thought about it.
How Taesang must have felt each time. Slowly becoming lonelier and more uneasy. He might have felt compelled to take a step back.
When these thoughts crossed her mind, a stifling feeling welled up. Her feelings for Taesang were more certain than anything else. She knew his feelings toward her just as well.
It was too frustrating to be fearful and anxious while wanting to get closer to each other.
Dajeong bit her lip.
“Hug me.”
“…”
His large shoulders stiffened as if startled. The only movement in his body was the pounding heartbeat.
Dajeong raised her head to look at Taesang.
“Me… Hug me.”
“…”
The tension was palpable in his rigid jaw. Dajeong gently pressed her lips against the vicinity of his neck.
She could feel the rough pulse beneath the tender flesh. After holding still for a while, Dajeong slowly lifted her gaze.
Their burning eyes and gazes met. His jet-black pupils seemed to flicker like flames.
Taesang just stared at her like that.
It seemed like he was holding back something or savoring this moment bit by bit. Time felt long, as if it had quietly stopped.
Unconsciously, Dajeong swallowed her saliva.
In an instant, the taut tension broke. Taesang wrapped his hand around the back of his neck and quickly lowered his head. He urgently sought her lips.
It was a rough and tumultuous kiss. Breath melted crazily in their mouths, and delicate flesh pressed hastily. Dajeong firmly put strength into her swaying legs and supported herself.
“Haah…”
After a long time, hot breath settled over their parted lips. When she raised her eyelids sluggishly, the still-warm pupils flickered before her.
“You also drive me crazy.”
With that statement, Taesang regained his composure.
In the quiet office.
Miyeon stared intently at the empty space, pressing her forehead with her eyebrows slightly furrowed. She rhythmically tapped the desk with her long fingernails, seemingly lost in thought.
After a while.
“Ugh, seriously!”
She messed up her hair roughly and leaned her body against the back of the chair. The short hair that had been neatly curled under her ears was now in disarray.
“What on earth should I prepare…”
She muttered as she rested her head against the headrest. Frustration was clearly visible in her eyes as she gazed at the ceiling.
It’s already been two days since proposing a deal to Taesang. Miyeon realized that this deal was inherently impossible to make.
Originally, Miyeon intended to provide information that would be helpful to Taesang’s business. Being a workaholic, this should be right up his alley. She thought it would be that simple.
However, Taesang’s reactions were unexpected.
“If it’s you, Gumi will be interested. The newly elected Congressman Kim Jaemin…”
“Aircraft Safety Law amendment, got it.”
“Good morning, this was really hard to find out, but this time at Sejin Airlines…”
“They’re completely revamping their routes.”
“…”
Inside information from the National Assembly, which she thought was a secret weapon, and information on rival companies obtained by treating friends to expensive meals.
As a person confined to the company every day, she surprisingly knew well about the world outside.
Miyeon couldn’t deny it. Indeed, someone obsessed with work cannot be defeated.
“Something else… something different…”
She needed something innovative and new. Something that could make even the mighty Cha Taesang yield.
Miyeon closed her eyes smoothly. Then, as if anticipating it in the pitch-dark vision, Taesang’s face, looking down at her, came to mind. Her eyes involuntarily blinked open.
At that moment, a loud phone sound struck her ears. Miyeon reached out, groping her desk absentmindedly. Only after a few documents fell to the floor did the phone come into her hand.
“Ha.”
Seeing the sender, a short sigh burst from Miyeon’s lips. The mastermind behind all this trouble, Seonjae.
Miyeon filled with irritation, pressed the call button.
“Why.”
「Hey, Kang Miyeon.」
“What.”
「Why do you keep taking down all the Air Korea articles?」
“…”
Miyeon’s insides bubbled with anger.
With all the trouble he caused, some people were struggling to make it through a day, and he’s concerned about that? She wanted to rush over and grab him by the hair right now.
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.
