“So, this Hotteok or whatever guy is Choi Yu-Geon’s cousin brother, right?”
Jenny is set to marry Choi Yu-Geon’s cousin, and having met Jenny and Yu-Geon for the first time today, they will soon become family. That would make them… allies?
Muttering to herself, Chaewon shook her head slightly.
“No, it’s not that. I could have grilled Jenny about what’s going on, but considering he asked for this meeting, he must have something in mind.”
Lost in thought, Chaewon was startled as Yu-Geon took a seat across from her.
Startled by his presence, Chaewon looked up with wide eyes. His handsome face, framed by a neat black jacket over a white shirt, was as expressionless as during their blind date.
As they quietly assessed each other, Yu-Geon slowly spoke up.
“Kim Chaewon.”
Chaewon’s eyelashes fluttered in tension.
“That must be your real name.”
Clutching her hands, Chaewon watched him closely.
“A married woman wouldn’t be placed before me, so Kim Hee-Ju is undoubtedly the married one.”
A faint smile appeared on Yu-Geon’s lips.
“The rest needs some explaining. It seems like I’m misunderstanding something here.”
Chaewon lowered her gaze and leaned back in her chair.
“Choi Yu-Geon, you’re really interested in me, aren’t you?”
Yu-Geon chuckled.
He had expected a lengthy explanation or a different facade, but instead, he was met with an unexpected question.
“Why do you think so?”
“If you cared more about your cousin than me, you would have shared or asked everything about me with him. But since you asked to meet like this, it seems I am of greater interest to you.”
Smart, she doesn’t bend her attitude even in such a situation, aiming to stay on top.
Yu-Geon replied with an amused expression.
“I am very interested. In Kim Chaewon and also in Hee-Ju.”
Chaewon swallowed dryly beneath her composed gaze.
As their intense eyes met, Yu-Geon smiled softly.
“Don’t be too tense. We just need to make a good deal with each other.”
“A deal?”
“Yes. I think we can make a beneficial deal with Kim Chaewon.”
Chaewon’s gaze dropped to the water glass on the table, contemplating the hidden motives.
He must be offering to cover up the current situation in exchange for something he wants.
“What do you want from me?”
“Romance.”
Chaewon straightened up in surprise.
“A deep romance for a month.”
Yu-Geon proposed with a gentle smile.
Jaemin quickly opened the car door as he saw the woman running towards him.
“Be careful!”
As he caught the woman in his arms, Jaemin’s face lit up with a smile.
“You should be careful. You have to think about our baby.”
“I just couldn’t help it when I saw your car. I had to run to you. Oh!”
Lorna, who was embraced by Jaemin, suddenly stepped back, looking around.
The surroundings were quiet, with a few unopened shops and an elderly man walking his dog in the distance.
“Why? What’s wrong?”
“I forgot we’re near the school.”
“It doesn’t matter. There’s hardly anyone around.”
“We have to be careful. If even one person spots us, rumors will spread in a flash. ‘Grade 2 Class 3 Teacher Lorna seen in a romantic scene with a handsome man near the school.'”
Although her point was different, Jaemin was pleased that she referred to him as a handsome man.
“Oh, you.”
He chuckled and playfully pinched her cheek.
“Hey! Don’t do romantic things then.”
Despite her words, Jaemin felt delighted.
“It’s just too frustrating. Let’s go somewhere else quickly, and we can kiss all we want.”
“Okay, quickly.”
With an affectionate look, Jaemin chuckled and wrapped his arm around Rona’s waist, leading her to the passenger seat.
“Be careful getting in. We don’t want to startle our baby.”
With Jaemin’s doting guidance, Rona got into the car.
“By the way, honey! I went to the hospital yesterday, and you should see how much our little bean has grown!”
Rona took out an ultrasound photo from her bag, and Jaemin leaned in with wide eyes.
“It was just a dot before, but now at 12 weeks, it’s really shaping up like a real person. It’s amazing. Hello, little bean, daddy’s here.”
Jaemin gently placed his hand on Rona’s belly, speaking tenderly.
Rona, chuckling, gazed affectionately at Jaemin as he talked to the baby.
“But honey, how’s the divorce coming along?”
“Ah, don’t worry. I’ll sort it out this weekend when Kim Hee-Ju comes over.”
“This weekend, at your place? I thought that woman completely left your house. Why is she coming over?”
As Jaemin looked at the ultrasound photo, Rona’s voice became more anxious.
Hee-Ju had declared a weekend marriage and put the divorce on hold. Being honest about it would only upset Rona, so Jaemin veiled the truth with a smile.
“Ah, she’s coming to talk. To sign the papers.”
“We could do it outside, couldn’t we? I don’t want to imagine you and that woman in the same house. And soon my belly will show, and it’ll be awkward at school.”
“Oh, then… If we get caught, we’ll say we registered our marriage first. That I was too busy for a wedding ceremony! Nowadays, premarital pregnancy isn’t such a scandal.”
Rona frowned deeply.
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.
