“Could it be that you’re offering your coat to me? No, right? Please, say it’s not true!”
Saying it’s cold doesn’t mean I want someone to take off their coat for me!
Jae In felt a shiver run down her spine, as if an electric shock pierced through her.
At the same time, her heart started pounding rapidly.
This must be because I dislike it.
Yeah, that’s right. It’s just uncomfortable, making me tense and shaky.
I must be so overwhelmed and sweaty at the thought of our team leader offering me his coat.
I’d rather take it off myself and be done with it.
“Oh, it’s, it’s okay!”
Jae In shouted without realizing it.
Do Hyuk’s hand, which was fidgeting with the last button, paused.
“What’s okay?”
“I’m not cold at all! Oh, I’m sweating like crazy, though.”
Jae In even fanned herself as a sign of strong resistance.
Do Hyuk, silently observing her, finally spoke.
“Weren’t you just saying you were cold a moment ago?”
“That, well… Oh, it was a figure of speech!”
“A figure of speech?”
“It’s one of my specialties. Haha. Saying I like it while hating it, saying it’s tasteless when it’s so delicious, something like that.”
What are you even saying?
While realizing she was rambling on, Jae In couldn’t stop herself and felt like crying.
Do Hyuk simply looked at her in disbelief.
“So, what’s the point?”
“That means… you absolutely don’t have to take off your coat for me, Team Leader.”
Upon hearing those words, one of Do Hyuk’s eyebrows twitched.
Then, he chuckled and unbuttoned the last button.
“I don’t understand why Seo Jae In had such a misunderstanding.”
Huh? Misunderstanding?
Jae In, not understanding the English words, blinked her eyes in confusion.
Do Hyuk flicked the edge of his coat and walked past her, his steps determined.
Ah!
The team leader just wanted to open his coat and wear it.
Jae In, realizing the situation late, felt her face burning with anger.
And astonishingly, she experienced a miraculous instant relief from the cold.
“Well, a misunderstanding? In that situation, anyone would think you’re offering to take off their coat, so it’s easy to misunderstand! It’s just making people feel embarrassed for no reason!”
Muttering to herself, Jae In walked quickly towards Do Hyuk.
She had only one thought in mind—to escape from this embarrassing situation as quickly as possible.
How long did it take?
Thump!
Something was placed on Jae In’s shoulder.
It was Do Hyuk’s brown long coat.
In an instant, a refreshing scent of the sea filled the air.
She felt a strange sensation as if she had embraced him, as if she had been embraced by him, with that familiar fragrance.
Surprised, Jae In opened her eyes wide and looked at Do Hyuk.
“Why is this…?”
Do Hyuk raised one corner of his mouth and replied.
“Figure of speech. Saying you’re not cold at all means you’re really cold.”
Then, he casually continued walking.
Dumbfounded, Jae In stood still and stared at Do Hyuk’s back as he walked ahead.
“Team leader, he might be unexpectedly kind and warmhearted….”
She started to think that she might have misunderstood him all this time, only seeing his superficial side.
On this night, his broad and sturdy back, opened wide like a man’s, seemed exceptionally reliable.
It was at that moment when Jae In, captivated, was watching Do Hyuk, who was gradually moving away.
Suddenly, Do Hyuk turned around, raised an eyebrow, and said.
“What are you doing? Hurry up and come.”
“Ah, yes! I’m coming!”
Finally regaining her senses, Jae In hastily followed behind him.
Meanwhile, Do Hyuk turned his back and continued on his way.
Jae In’s breath rose to her chin as she occasionally hurried to catch up with long strides.
Huff, huff. Huff, huff.
Jae In caught herself, breathing heavily, and snapped out of her brief reverie.
Kindness, my foot! I shouldn’t have hoped for anything!
The next morning.
Jae In was busy preparing breakfast.
If you can’t avoid it, enjoy it, they say.
Last night, Jae In regained her resolve.
Being stuck with Do Hyuk for two months without a moment’s rest, she decided to set aside the discomfort and try to make herself feel at home as much as possible.
Preparing breakfast, which had been a burden for her as a freeloader, was the first step.
Just as she finished getting ready for work, Do Hyuk walked into the living room.
His darkcolored suit, wrapped around his firm body, looked particularly good today.
“Team leader, did you sleep well?”
“Hmm.”
“Please have breakfast. I made some dried pollack soup, which is good for hangovers. I made it because it’s too much for one person to eat.”
Jae In smiled gently, embodying the spirit of Park Ae.
That’s what mothers say. Don’t be greedy with what you eat.
Do Hyuk, looking at the fairly wellprepared breakfast table, commented.
“I didn’t even have a drop of alcohol yesterday.”
Oh, right! That’s true.
In fact, the dried pollack soup Jae In made was purely for her own upset stomach.
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.
