For now, they are friends. And coworkers.
Privately, they used to date and then broke up.
Publicly, they are in an office romance.
From being friends to becoming lovers, from being lovers to becoming strangers, and unexpectedly turning into coworkers, they eventually settled into a somewhat comfortable friendship.
With each change in the temperature of their relationship, waves inevitably surged in their hearts.
Some waves were exhilarating, like riding a blizzard rail, while others, like a wrecking tsunami, submerged everything and left the shattered pieces sinking into an endless abyss. And then, some just swayed back and forth, gradually calming down.
And now.
Something was changing. Unwilling to admit it, Eun-Soo could feel a new wave gradually stirring.
Whether it was a mild swell retreating to the ankles or a tidal wave that would completely overturn, she couldn’t tell, so it was just frustrating.
‘Was it from the time I considered appearing on this program? No, it wasn’t then. Then, when I definitely decided to go out? It’s still vague. In that case…’
One day flashed in Eun-Soo’s mind. A day when school uniforms and headbands were mixed with the sea and sunset.
‘Right, that day was the problem.’
As soon as she found her own answer, a kind of debate unfolded in her mind.
‘No, but there were inevitable situations. Wouldn’t I have been concerned to some extent even if the other person wasn’t Kim Joo-Han? No, if he were a new man, I might have been more excited without hesitation.’
After thinking it through and convincing herself, Eun-Soo nodded. Joo-Han keeps reminding her of the past, but with a completely unknown man, she would be able to fully enjoy the current emotions.
“Hey, Eun-Soo.”
“…….”
“Eun-Soo…?”
Eun-Soo suddenly came to her senses. PD Park pointed to the tablet she was holding with a somewhat awkward expression.
“What’s this setting…?”
PD Park’s eyes and the camera seemed to seriously observe Eun-Soo’s screen, which had been blank since a while ago, as if she was nodding her head. Only belatedly realizing this fact, Eun-Soo corrected her startled posture.
“It’s not a setting, but I spaced out for a moment… Please edit it into an amazing cut.”
During that time, Som-In, who lost in rock-paper-scissors, went to a nearby sandwich shop to buy lunch for the staff.
“Please remove the cucumbers from two of them.”
“It seems there’s someone who doesn’t eat cucumbers.”
A small camera followed the assistant director who came out. In the brief moment when she seemed to react to Som-In’s unexpected shout with joy because hearing her voice felt so welcome, it was almost like a mere response.
“Yes, with the CEO and Senior Manager Sun.”
Thinking it might be just another question-and-answer session, when it seemed to be the end, Som-In suddenly shouted, “Why, why?”
“When I first came to .”
Som-In spoke seriously.
“Senior Manager Sun and I came here, and he casually said, ‘Please remove the cucumbers from one of them’ and smoothly gave it to the CEO. So, at that time, I thought, ‘Ah, the CEO doesn’t like cucumbers.'”
“Really?”
“Yes. Then, when I came alone and ordered, asking to remove cucumbers from one, and gave it to the CEO, he glanced at it and quietly switched it with Senior Manager Sun’s. So, I thought, ‘Ah, Senior Manager Sun doesn’t like them either.’ When Senior Manager Sun and I came together for the first time, he said he was full and didn’t buy his own, so I didn’t know.”
“Oh….”
All day, barely saying ten words, and suddenly talking about cucumbers? Was it because of cucumbers that her speech opened up?
Som-In stared at the confused assistant director.
“Is it love?”
“What?”
“Someone who dislikes cucumbers compromises by removing them. If this isn’t love, what is?”
“Well, that’s true….”
“Oh, why did I make a fuss about not buying it when I knew this? Even kissed….”
“I made a fuss? About what? And did you say ‘kissed’?”
“It’s nothing.”
The assistant director, looking at Som-In again with a bewildered look, bit his molars.
After talking so long about cucumbers, why didn’t she talk about the kiss!
“Well, a person…!”
One way to make a person angry is to stop talking while talking, and it was time for the assistant director to start arguing.
Thunk.
Som-In’s habit of cracking her neck abruptly stopped the assistant director’s words. Then, she remembered the sight of her carrying the furniture alone, wondering how she would carry it.
“A person, what?”
Som-In asked with indifferent eyes. The assistant director grinned.
“It’s nothing.”
“That’s it.”
Joo-Han removed his hands from the workbench and stood up. Turning around, he looked around while pulling down the zipper of his jumpsuit with one hand.
“I’ll go in first today.”
“Yes, please be careful.”
Joo-Han, who came out to the backyard, roughly brushed off the dust from his work clothes. Tying the empty sleeves around his waist, he turned his steps. At that moment, a message arrived from Eun-Soo.
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.
