Dohyuk was startled and turned around.
In the dark corridor, Chairman Cha stood like a ghost.
“Oh, Grandfather! You scared me.”
“Who would make such a fuss? I came out to get some water, and someone was skulking around like a cat burglar, so I thought it was a thief.”
“No, um, I just wanted to see your face for a moment…”
Chairman Cha, bewildering Dohyuk, flicked his finger at the surprised Dohyuk.
“Quit the nonsense and come over here.”
“…Yes.”
Dohyuk, who had stealthily walked all the way, reluctantly turned back at the Chairman’s command.
As Dohyuk approached, Chairman Cha patted his shoulder and said, “Dohyuk, let’s give up on things quickly.”
“…”
This is really too much. Dohyuk looked at Chairman Cha with eyes full of resentment.
A bright smile, rarely seen on his grandfather’s face, adorned Chairman Cha’s face.
The next day, from Monday morning, a cold wave hit.
Despite Dohyuk’s early arrival at work, the biting wind pierced through his heart.
As soon as Jaein sat down, her desk was scattered like wet laundry.
“Sigh. I feel like I’ve aged a lot overnight.”
Jaein woke up before 5 a.m., as Chairman Cha wandered around making all sorts of noises since dawn.
Feeling uneasy as it is, Chairman Cha sat at the dining table throughout her preparation of breakfast.
In the gaze of a prison guard supervising a prisoner, Jaein felt a chill down her spine.
Although they used to have simple breakfasts and leave when it was just the two of them, the breakfast prepared now was a lavish feast.
However, it was 7 a.m., and despite her desire to take a short break, Jaein chose to go to work early as being with Chairman Cha was uncomfortable.
Actually, last night, Dohyuk suggested bringing in someone to cook for Chairman Cha. However, Chairman Cha vehemently refused, insisting on eating only what Jaein made, leading to a heated argument.
It was evident that Chairman Cha’s intention was to test Jaein, given the circumstances of the one-month arrangement.
Jaein regretted going through unnecessary trouble for a month.
“Jaein, are you okay?”
Dohyuk, who arrived late, offered coffee with a pitiful look.
Jaein, barely getting up, took a sip of the coffee.
“Ah, it’s warm. It was freezing, and now I might survive.”
“Since we’re going to work together in my car…”
This morning, Jaein promptly rejected Dohyuk’s proposal to commute together, as it was uncomfortable being with Chairman Cha.
“What if our cohabitation is revealed? Dating and living together are like heaven and earth!”
“Anyway, we’re going to get married. What’s the big deal?”
“You may be fine, but I’m in big trouble. If it’s revealed, I won’t be able to go to work because it’ll be too embarrassing.”
“Got it.”
Dohyuk sat next to Jaein, gently touching her cheek.
“Sorry. My grandfather made things difficult for you…”
“It’s okay. Still, I’m grateful that you gave me a chance for a month. I’ll work hard to get Grandfather’s approval.”
“Of course, that’s how it’ll be. It’s so lovely like this…”
As Jaein’s cheeks turned red, Dohyuk smiled gently and said, “Seo Jaein, do you trust me?”
“Yes.”
“From now on, no matter what happens, trust only me and follow me.”
Instead of answering, Jaein nodded her head.
With Dohyuk, it seemed possible to overcome any difficulty.
“Seo Jaein, wait a moment.”
Dohyuk, who was attentively looking at Jaein, took the coffee from her hand and placed it on the desk.
Then, naturally leaning forward, he approached Jaein.
With a gaze filled with desire.
Eek!
Startled, Jaein quickly moved backward.
“Te-Team Leader, what are you doing! This is the office.”
“I know.”
“What if someone sees us?”
Dohyuk raised one corner of his mouth.
“Like this early? No one will come in at least for the next 10 minutes. That should be enough.”
“Ah, but it’s still not allowed in the office!”
When Jaein pushed him away, Dohyuk said in a husky voice, “Seo Jaein, then where do you suggest we do it? Your grandfather is at home, right?”
“Well, that’s true.”
“Think about it. Yesterday, we couldn’t even hold hands properly because we were cautious. Does that make sense when we’re in a relationship?”
“…No.”
“If we keep going like this, we’ll end up with spiderwebs in our mouths for a month. So, when the opportunity arises, we should be prepared!”
Quite persuasive.
Jaein, partly persuaded by Dohyuk’s rational argument, finally said a short word.
“5 minutes.”
“Deal!”
Dohyuk accepted the challenge and forcefully kissed Jaein’s soft lips.
It was a deep kiss that included the goodnight kiss that was missed last night due to Grandfather’s interference.
Jaein, who missed Dohyuk as much as he missed her, actively responded more than ever.
Being separated all day within the same house added fuel to the fire.
At that moment, when the two deeply immersed in the sweet kiss were about to extend the encounter by an unspoken agreement.
Drrring.
Suddenly, the office automatic door opened wide.
Startled, Jaein and Dohyuk quickly separated.
Standing at the door was Yeonji with wide-open eyes.
“Kyah!”
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.
