Late at night, near the lockers at Daehwa Station, a young man wearing a black hat appeared.
He alternated between looking at his phone and the surroundings, then scanned the lockers before approaching one.
He seemed young, and if he had placed something there himself, he should have had a rough idea where it was, yet his behavior was highly suspicious.
His suspicious actions continued. He struggled to enter the locker code, constantly checking his phone and surroundings, and even after opening the locker and taking out an envelope, he looked around once more.
Someone was secretly watching him.
It was a person sent by Seok-hoon.
Seok-hoon had instructed him to watch if someone else took the item Young-ju had stored.
When the man checked the envelope, the observer casually approached, pretending to use another locker.
The startled man quickly closed the envelope, but the observer clearly saw the wad of fifty-thousand-won notes.
Shortly after, the man was brought before Seok-hoon.
It wasn’t hard to bring him in.
He had readily followed upon hearing, “I’ll pay you triple.” It was clear he had been bribed, and his greed for money was apparent.
[Star Icon]Meanwhile, Ha Joon and Seo Ah were,
“If you’re holding back because you think I’ll be tired, I’m okay with it. Hold me, please.”
Ha Joon embraced her tightly, suppressing his surging desire.
“Oppa has been thinking, and I realize I might have been hasty and inconsiderate of your feelings. I’m okay too. I can hold back.”
“……What do you think my position is?”
“It’s all for the perfect support, right? You had to yield because mom was pressuring you.”
“…….”
Seo Ah fell into deep thought.
Initially, it was to prevent him from seeking other women.
But she couldn’t tell him the truth outright, fearing he might misunderstand that she was investigating him.
However, now that she was convinced the photos were fake, it seemed okay to tell the truth.
Young-ju had also received photos, and Seo Ah believed Young-ju wouldn’t lie.
“Oppa, actually, when I was in France, I kept receiving strange photos. I still don’t know who sent them. I couldn’t ask Young-ju unnie because she was busy.”
Ha Joon felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He had suspected something like this but didn’t expect Seo Ah to bring it up.
“What, what kind of photos?”
“Photos of you… hanging out with other women.”
“…….”
Ha Joon’s mind became cluttered. Why was she bringing this up now? How could he tell her the truth without frightening her?
“It was before we got married, so it’s possible. In business, you know…….”
“…….”
“But I was worried you might continue doing that after marriage. That’s why I started. It wasn’t for the perfect support, nor because of mom’s nagging. I did it because I like you, Oppa. I wanted to do anything to prevent you from wanting other women.”
Surprised by her unexpected reason, Ha Joon tried to pull away to look at her, but Seo Ah held him even tighter, lacking the courage to face him as she spoke.
“It was like that at first, but after our first night together, I liked it too. I thought you disliked me, but when we were together, I felt like you really cared and loved me.”
“…….”
“I didn’t want to get hurt, so I thought it was impossible. I thought it was just my imagination, but every time it happened, you were more considerate. I liked that feeling and wanted to feel loved by you in that way.”
“…….”
“If you hadn’t held me, I would have continued to feel insecure.”
With every word she said, Ha Joon’s heart tightened more and more. He couldn’t fathom the depth of her feelings, wanting to be loved in that way.
It would have been better if the reason was what he had thought. How anxious she must have been, worrying that he might go meet other women.
He reflected on the past. Could he have told her the truth before their first night together?
He wondered if he had rationalized his behavior, not considering other ways.
Now that Seo Ah had brought it up, it seemed like the right time to tell the truth.
Earlier than he expected, but he hadn’t considered that she would continue to feel uneasy if he didn’t tell her the photos were fake.
He thought she wouldn’t mind since she married him even after receiving those photos.
Of course, telling her might make her more anxious. Would she trust him and stay by his side if he couldn’t properly identify the enemy?
It seemed fortunate that he had separated Young-ju from her before telling her.
“But, Oppa… Miyeon unnie said it, and your seniors at the alumni night said it too, I’ve heard from various places… that you don’t go to bars and I’m the first woman for you.”
“…….”
“So, I started to think that the photos might be fake… But, of course, it’s okay even if they’re real. Like I said earlier, it was before we were married. What matters now is your heart.”
Soon, Ha Joon decided to sit up, but…
Just then, his phone vibrated.
Turning on the mood light, Ha Joon checked the message and quickly got up.
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.
