“Youngjin is here. Come on in.”
“I came running because I want to play the piano quickly!”
Taesang looked at the unfamiliar visitor with a puzzled expression.
The child looked no more than a kindergarten student at a glance.
The little one was wearing an ordinary T-shirt and shorts. It wasn’t a shabby outfit, but it didn’t seem suitable for this neighborhood.
Moreover, Hyunwoo didn’t take classes for elementary school students.
It’s strange.
“Hanyeongjin, I told you not to go alone!”
At that moment, the door opened further, and a girl in a yellow dress rushed into the yard.
Round and gentle eyes, a petite figure. The girl, with a quite mature expression, sweetly scolded the little one who had come in first.
Even without saying the word “sister,” one could guess from the resemblance.
“Ah!”
The younger sister, who let out a shriek, whimpered as if in pain and went behind Hyunwoo.
“Did you come together today too?”
“Yes. Hello, teacher.”
“Nuna is taking good care of her younger sibling.”
“Yes.”
The playful expression disappeared, replaced by a dignified one.
Finding it cute to see an adult-like face on the topic of being a little kid, Taesang couldn’t help but chuckle unknowingly.
Hyunwoo headed inside with the kids. As they entered the living room, the three people naturally scattered to their respective places.
The younger one took the piano chair, the elder sister sat on the sofa, and Hyunwoo pulled a stool next to the piano and sat down.
“Have you been practicing a lot at home?”
“Yes!”
“Then, shall we try the piece you learned last time?”
The little one impatiently threw off the bag. It seemed like the exaggeration about rushing to play the piano wasn’t an overstatement.
As the performance started, the small hands moved freely on the keyboard like fish.
The piece the boy played was one Taesang was familiar with as well.
Chopin’s Impromptu No. 1. The lively rhythm might make it seem easy at first, but the musical structure itself made it a challenging piece with intricate hand movements.
The fast finger movements were seamless.
“Wow…”
Taesang unconsciously admired.
Perfect control of dynamics, an expression that slowed down lyrically at times and intensified emotionally in an instant. The child perfectly understood each note he produced.
This is what genius looks like.
For a while, Taesang gazed at the boy as if entranced.
Fluttering.
“……?”
Behind the busy fingers, a leisurely movement caught his eye.
The girl sitting on the sofa was casually flipping through a book. Despite the genius performance, she didn’t show any sign of being impressed.
Maybe because she hears it every day?
If it were me, I’d be surprised every time, even if I heard it every day. Taesang blinked his eyes slowly, looking at the pages turning.
Dying, Ding.
At that moment, the smoothly flowing performance began to awkwardly twist. The tempo gradually increased, and the same section was repeated like a skipping record.
“Uh…? Why is this happening?”
The boy, whose fingers were curled into a circle, made a face that seemed like he might cry any moment. After repeating the same section several times, the performance didn’t improve.
“Hiing……”
“Youngjin, it’s okay. Even the teacher made a lot of mistakes here when he was young.”
Hyunwoo comforted the child with a gentle tone. However, in the eyes of the tearful child, there was a sense of sadness.
The elder sister, who had been quietly watching, quickly approached her younger brother. When she placed her hand on his shoulder, Youngjin looked up with a sullen expression.
“Nuna…”
“Why are you crying? Is it difficult to play?”
“No… it’s not difficult, but it just won’t work.”
Youngjin stammered, trying to explain. He moved his hands in the air as if playing the piano, finding it difficult to articulate.
“You did well at home, didn’t you?”
“Yeah. But now, it’s not working.”
Youngjin sniffled, looking at his sister with teary eyes. It seemed like he was utterly lost, much like a lost child.
“I’ll go get some snacks from the teacher. Let’s take a break.”
It seems like Hyunwoo thought it would be better to leave the situation to his older sister, as he discreetly got up from his seat.
The girl briskly sat in the vacant seat and patted her younger brother’s face.
“Feeling sad?”
“Yeah.”
“It’s okay. Even the teacher made a lot of mistakes when he was young. Let’s try again in a little while.”
“I don’t think I can do it again.”
“Why?”
Whispering to each other, the siblings leaned their heads together and continued talking quietly.
The little boy sniffled, and the girl, leaning in, listened attentively. Taesang watched them intently, holding his breath. He didn’t realize that the kids immersed in their own world had an observer.
Dajeong, wearing a yellow dress with twin braids, and Yeongjin, tucking a white T-shirt into his shorts.
Dajeong is in the third grade, and Yeongjin is in kindergarten.
Yeongjin sat in front of the piano, crying, while Dajeong comforted him.
“Ah…”
The girl, who had been whispering for a while, let out a small sigh.
“Do you know why, Nuna?”
“Yeah, I know. It’s because of nervousness.”
“Nervousness?”
“Yeah. Doesn’t your heart race strangely here?”
The girl raised both hands to her small chest and said with wide-open eyes. Yeongjin nodded, looking at his sister.
“Because it’s in front of the teacher, you get nervous. You really like the teacher, don’t you?”
“Is it because I like him? Does it make me unable to play the piano?”
“No, it’s not that you can’t play. It’s just that you keep shaking.”
“Then, what should I do? I can’t play when I’m next to the teacher?”
“Well…”
The girl’s face, deeply engrossed in thought, showed a puzzled expression as she contemplated.
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.
