The vague hope that it might be a misunderstanding disappeared.
Driven by jealousy, Dohyuk didn’t give Jaein a chance to explain and accused her.
“You told me to wait, but behind my back, were you weighing me against Minwoo? You kissed me, and when Nam Minwoo suggested meeting, you immediately switched sides?”
“What are you saying?”
Jaein was too stunned to find words.
“I told you I liked you. Madly! Why won’t you acknowledge my sincerity?”
His words, spit out like a scream, pierced Jaein’s heart.
“Te-Team leader…”
Why are you misunderstanding like this?
Facing Dohyuk’s distorted face, Jaein felt as if her heart were being squeezed.
Even now, I wanted to embrace him and comfort him immediately, but I forced myself to restrain those feelings.
First and foremost, clearing up the misunderstanding was the priority.
“Team Leader, on that day, Minwoo senior reserved Y Hotel…”
“Don’t mention that bastard’s name in front of me.”
Hearing Dohyuk’s cold voice that could freeze upon just listening, Jaein was speechless.
Rrrrrrr. Rrrrrrr.
At that moment, breaking the chilly silence, the ringtone echoed from Jaein’s mobile phone lying on the table.
Both of their gazes simultaneously turned towards the mobile phone.
[Minwoo]Due to Minwoo calling at the worst possible timing, Dohyuk exploded even further, losing his last bit of patience.
‘Minwoo, this guy!’
Jaein desperately reached out to her mobile phone to hang up, but Dohyuk, misunderstanding that she was trying to answer the call, quickly grabbed Jaein’s phone and pressed the speakerphone button.
―Hello? Jaein, about what we talked earlier, have you thought about it?
What we talked about earlier?
Dohyuk gritted his teeth, speaking with force.
“I’m Cha Dohyuk.”
“Oh, no!”
Jaein’s belated exclamation echoed sadly.
On the other end of the speaker, a bewildered voice flowed.
―Huh? Why is Team Leader Cha answering Jaein’s phone…?
“I really like Seo Jaein very much.”
―What?
Jaein desperately tried to snatch her mobile phone by grabbing Dohyuk’s arm.
“Team Leader, stop it!”
“Are you upset that Minwoo got caught? Do you like this guy so much?”
Blinded by jealousy, Dohyuk lashed out at the phone.
“I’ll never let you send Seo Jaein to him, wake up from your dream! And never call again!”
“Please stop!”
With eyes tightly shut, Jaein shouted with all her might.
“What I like is Team Leader!”
Huh?
At that moment, Dohyuk’s mental circuitry abruptly shut off.
‘What did she just say…?’
At that moment, Seoyeon’s worried voice came through the speakerphone.
―Jaein, what’s going on? Are you okay?
Huh?
When the unexpected female voice came out, Dohyuk stared blankly with a vacant expression.
The momentum from a moment ago disappeared without a trace.
Seizing the opportunity, Jaein quickly took back her mobile phone and hastily spoke.
“Sister, I’m sorry! There’s a misunderstanding. I’ll explain in detail later. Please apologize to Minwoo senior.”
―Jaein, who is that person? Isn’t he a strange guy?
“It’s okay. Our Team Leader Cha…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Dohyuk’s hot lips forcefully covered Jaein’s lips.
“Ugh!”
Taken aback by the sudden kiss, Jaein instinctively tried to push him away.
Dohyuk, paying no heed, tightly embraced her neck and waist, pulling her towards him.
Then, with the thirst that hadn’t been resolved from last time, Dohyuk powerfully sealed Jaein’s lips.
“Ugh! Ugh!”
Feeling suffocated by the abrupt kiss, Jaein urgently tapped Dohyuk’s arms.
At that moment, the hand holding onto her neck lost its strength, and as if showing mercy, Dohyuk’s face retreated.
Finally, Jaein took a deep breath she had been holding.
“…Ha, ha. Ha…”
Jaein’s breathing became steady for a moment.
Dohyuk, who couldn’t resist stealing glances at her crimson lips, bowed his head again, as if unable to endure it.
Jaein’s head, which had been leaning backward in a slump, was held firmly by the hot touch of his hand, making her unable to move.
The desire that had been restrained in Dohyuk exploded, and he forcefully kissed her lips again.
Jaein, overwhelmed by the forceful intrusion, felt her mind go blank.
How much time had passed?
Dohyuk’s lips, which had forcefully pressed against hers like a storm, slowly moved away from Jaein.
Ha. As if regretting her lips, Dohyuk’s lips shifted forward along hers.
At that moment, Seoyeon’s urgent voice reached Jaein’s ears.
―Jaein! Jaein! Say something! Are you okay?
Worried that Jaein suddenly went silent, Seoyeon had been keeping the call active.
Jaein, who belatedly regained her senses, felt her heart tighten.
Did Seoyeon and Minwoo hear that she kissed Dohyuk?
Jaein, with a fiery face, responded to Seoyeon’s anxious call.
“Sister, I’m okay. I’m sorry for worrying you.”
―I thought something happened! Are you really okay? Is that person, your team leader, not a stalker or something?
After forcefully taking away her phone and sternly telling her not to call again, it was an easily misunderstood situation that anyone passing by could inquire about.
Jaein felt overwhelmed, not knowing how to explain the situation.
“It’s not like that, sister. You don’t need to worry.”
―Really?
“Seo Jaein, wait a moment.”
Suddenly, Dohyuk took the phone, held it with both hands, and politely spoke.
“Hello. I apologize for the late introduction. I am Cha Dohyuk, the team leader of the Daesan F&G Product Planning Team 1. Please rest assured that I am not a stalker or anyone suspicious.”
―Still…
“We apologize for any unintentional inconvenience to both of you. We will meet in person next time, and I will personally apologize. I am truly sorry. Please convey my apologies to Team Leader Naminwoo as well.”
―Uh, yes…
Seoyeon seemed at a loss for words in the face of such a polite apology.
“Sister, I’m sorry! I’ll contact you later.”
Jaein apologized again and hung up the phone.
Then, glaring at Dohyuk, she scolded.
“Team Leader! What if you say whatever you want without even listening to my story!”
“Seo Jaein, I’m really sorry. I made a mistake because I was momentarily blinded by jealousy.”
Dohyuk, quickly grasping the situation, admitted his error and apologized.
The beastly aggression he showed a while ago disappeared completely, and he turned into a gentle lamb.
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.
