Woo-yeon, who had just watched the video that made her famous, suddenly raised her shoulders toward her brother Tae-kyung.
“Why. Are you worried I’ll say something wrong to Woo-yeon?”
Tae-kyung laughed.
“There’s no need to talk. Why bother.”
“Ugh, you’re such an unlucky character. But why isn’t Director Han coming?”
“He’ll be here soon.”
“Then, Oppa, stick with Director Han. I want to sit next to Anchor Yoon. I want to get to know her better.”
“Don’t grumble.”
With a nonchalant remark, Tae-kyung, who usually held considerable authority, lowered his shoulders and moved to a distant seat.
Woo-yeon spoke to Tae-kyung, feeling awkward for no reason.
“I’m fine sitting next to you.”
“I’m not okay with it.”
“……. ”
“I won’t be like me.”
It meant that Woo-yeon’s personality was unlike that of Director Cha Tae-kyung. Woo-yeon immediately understood the meaning of those words.
And that was because Cha Jae-hee, who was two years older than her, didn’t look much different from the first day she saw him.
Appearing carefree, straightforward, and blunt.
The image of Jae-hee ordering wine to the flight attendants and drinking alone lingered in her memory.
On the way to meet his mother.
The last to enter, Director Han, who had been late, without saying anything, protected Jae-hee’s side seat.
Jae-hee naturally leaned on Director Han’s shoulder and fell asleep.
Woo-yeon took out a book, and Tae-kyung started reading a business newspaper.
The plane flew into the sky, and Woo-yeon took a deep breath.
Cha Yoon-hwa was in the VIP ward of a comprehensive hospital in Chicago.
Upon hearing the news that Tae-kyung was bringing a woman to marry, she called people from the morning and even put on light makeup for the first time in years.
“She’s an anchor?”
The former director, who took care of her work separately since she was unwell, nodded and handed over a tablet PC.
“Yes, she’s a competent and quite popular anchor in Korea. Miss Jae-hee talked about her incessantly.”
Before pressing the play button, Yoon-hwa, holding the tablet, asked with eyes that seemed to have deepened their thoughts.
“What’s the relationship between you two?”
“… ”
“Tae-kyung, might not easily open his heart. He wouldn’t have brought just any woman.”
Since he mentioned bringing a woman to marry, she might have had some inkling from then.
Perhaps her son, Tae-kyung, pretending to be in love, would bring a plausible person.
“Director Han.”
“Yes.”
“…Do you know what kind of child Tae-kyung is?”
Yoon-hwa looked blankly out the window beyond the hospital bed.
When she left, abandoning the name of the family mountain, she always felt sorry for her father.
Although she tried to grasp the company she had devoted her life to, she eventually refused.
Perhaps, she considered the scars she had to endure just because she was born as a daughter from a concubine’s body to be the responsibility she had to bear to the end.
Knowing that her father was immersed in despair, even though she married the man he strongly opposed, Cha Yoon-hwa did not separately report the marriage.
Thus, she was able to pass on her father’s surname to both children, but looking back now, it was all a foolish act.
“If only at that time, I had created an ordinary family like everyone else. Would our Tae-kyung have grown up a bit differently?”
The child was clever, perceptive, and, at the same time, wary of people in various ways. While others thought Tae-kyung was just shy, Cha Yoon-hwa’s thoughts were different.
From an early age, Tae-kyung calculated and quantified things as if he were using a scale, only befriending those who were beneficial to him.
So, there was always worry.
Unlike his younger sister, Jae-hee, who liked people and was kind to everyone, the only son who was not particularly fond of anything seemed excessively cynical.
As Tae-kyung grew up, he never once threw a tantrum asking for toys. If he wanted something, he worked hard to achieve it on his own.
Watching Tae-kyung, who always read books while sitting next to Jae-hee, who cried all day because a boy pulled her hair, made her think a lot.
It was a constant worry that he never immersed himself in something or had something he particularly liked.
“I don’t regret holding that person’s hand.”
“Even though he approached you intentionally with a purpose?”
At Director Han’s words, Cha Yoon-hwa smiled lightly.
“We shared the same feelings.”
“Same feelings?”
“I knew. What purpose that person had in approaching me. What he wanted to do after obtaining me. But at that time, I had to hold his hand. I needed a place to breathe.”
“……. ”
“And I was too lonely. I wanted a new family. That person made it happen, and our children were born. That’s enough for me.”
Cha Yoon-hwa handed the tablet back to Director Han, saying it seemed unnecessary to watch the video separately.
She wanted to see the real Yoon Woo-yeon, not the one on the screen.
Without any prejudice.
With clear eyes like a deer, Cha Yoon-hwa wanted to warmly embrace the woman her son brought.
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.
