“…What is it?”
Eun-su asked casually, trying not to show anything, but inside, all sorts of thoughts crossed her mind.
Was that saying true? Is it really amazing? It seems like you’re not a couple, and the compatibility is a disaster. What if things go wrong?
Mi-rae, having checked the two drawings, grinned.
“Hmm, interesting.”
“What’s going on?”
Eun-su asked nonchalantly, but inside, a variety of thoughts crossed her mind.
Did she mean it when she said she sees things amazingly? Is it really that amazing? You guys don’t seem like a couple, and what if the compatibility is disastrous? What should I do in a situation like this?
Mi-rae, having checked the two drawings, grinned.
“Well, this is interesting.”
“Uh, what do you mean?”
Eun-su asked with a forced casualness. But inside, she was filled with various thoughts.
Is it really that amazing as she claimed? Is it really amazing when it comes to you two, who don’t seem like a couple, and the compatibility seems to be a disaster? What if something like this happens?
Mi-rae, having checked the two drawings, grinned.
“Well, this is interesting.”
Pointing to the golden sun in the card, Mi-rae spoke.
“As you wish, it will come true.”
“Hey. The picture looks nice, doesn’t it?”
As Joo-han and Eun-su were heading to the car after finishing the shoot, Sol-hee blocked their way. Joo-han, who had been searching for the car keys, gestured with a sigh.
“What century-ending gangster lines are you spouting? Move aside; let us go home.”
“Go home?”
Sol-hee looked as if she heard something unbelievable. Because of that, Joo-han and Eun-su were also taken aback.
“Wasn’t the shoot over? We even said goodbye a little while ago.”
“It’s over, but it’s a group shoot.”
Sol-hee approached with a meaningful expression. Holding her slightly clenched hands near her mouth, she added in a hushed tone.
“If you two were really a couple, wouldn’t it be a shame to just part ways here? It’s too anticlimactic to go home after all this, dressed up like this. You must have been excited all day with each other’s changed styles, so now is the time for your own…”
“Hey, why are you reciting a script here? Go write it somewhere else, writer.”
Eun-su immediately cut her off. In fact, as soon as the director shouted “cut,” she wanted to change her clothes, but since the clothes were a gift, and with Future and Hyeon smiling broadly in front of her, she couldn’t just go straight to the dressing room.
“How about going to a nice place and drawing some more pictures? Immerse yourselves a bit more. Even if it’s true, if you talk about going home right away, wouldn’t it be a waste? With your changed styles, you’ve been thrilled all day. Now, let’s make it more official…”
“Hey, why are you printing the script here? Go somewhere else, writer.”
Eun-su cut her off immediately. In fact, as soon as the director shouted “cut,” she wanted to change her clothes, but since the clothes were a gift, and with Future and Hyeon smiling broadly in front of her, she couldn’t just go straight to the dressing room.
“Go print your script somewhere else. We don’t need your drama.”
With a dismissive gesture, Joo-han brushed past Sol-hee.
“That’s right. If it were real, we would have gone home faster. It might even be too much of a waste of time to go to our house, so we might have gone to a nearby hotel.”
That’s true. Clothes that make your heart react when you put them on are likely to make an even bigger reaction when you take them off… I mean!
Unconsciously nodding in agreement, Eun-su muttered under her breath. Sol-hee clapped without blinking an eye.
“A hotel is fine. I’ll stop at the check-in, so you just have to go in. How about that?”
“Stop saying nonsense about checking out of your mind and let’s just finish work.”
“Hey, do you think only you two want to go home?”
Sol-hee’s gaze went beyond Joo-han’s shoulder. Joo-han, who had turned around unconsciously, met eyes with PD Park, who was looking at them with pleading eyes.
“PD Park is the one who desperately wants to go home. But he needs to show results to feel at ease. Right now, other teams are going for additional shoots. Oh? Miss Mi-rae is going to a club, Miss Mi-su is going to the Han River, and Miss Je-na is going to a wine bar. Oh? Here, it seems like they want to go home quickly, wipe their feet, and sleep. Oh? Are you going to stay away?”
This broadcasting guy again…!
Eun-su, who was about to say that even if he sells sensitivity, he can’t buy my time off, closed her mouth. When she saw PD Park standing pitifully, still holding the camera, she lost her previous conviction.
Joo-han seemed to be in the same situation, hesitating to call for a designated driver.
Eun-su, grinding her molars tightly, whispered to Sol-hee.
“We’re going. Since we’re going, show your ID.”
On a relatively quiet weekday night at the hotel rooftop bar, the attention of some customers was drawn to the backs of Joo-han and Eun-su sitting side by side on the long seats by the window.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
