Breath hot, body hot, he couldn’t tell. Jiho felt like he was burning, his whole body submerged in a fiery pit.
What is this?
It felt like pouring water onto a completely unraveled roll of toilet paper. Drenched in the fiercely penetrating water, he now felt like he was in an irreversible state.
There was no other option but to move forward.
“Let’s go to sleep. Today.”
Jiho pressed his lips against Lajin’s neck, seeking earnest permission.
‘It’s been a while since I was sick; I must be out of my mind.’
She hinted at her uncomfortable condition, knowing well the burden she would feel. Even though she kept murmuring about her condition as if excusing herself, she was afraid that Lajin might turn back.
‘Ha, this is crazy.’
After the relentless forced march that had continued since the special investigation began, coupled with the investigation into Oh Jong-hyuk today, Jiho’s nerves were on edge.
Unlike the initial fear, Oh Jong-hyuk gradually regained his composure.
Even when pushing the exact details of the crime, he continued his incessant denial. To make matters worse, he had been in a heated conflict for a while, urging the lawyer and demanding a forced investigation.
In the end, like a minnow slipping away, Jiho’s prepared statement couldn’t even make a dent.
The road ahead was long, and the time allotted was tight. Wasting time reading the summons in the investigation into Oh Jong-hyuk. As various arguments and demands for corrections continued, Jiho’s head felt like it was about to split.
After notifying Oh Jong-hyuk of a re-summons and returning to the office, it was close to midnight.
Whether forcibly suppressing the bubbling anger or not, Jiho’s vision spun around. Afraid that his head might explode, he headed home as it was.
Quickly swallowing a fever reducer and planning to cool down in the bathtub… Jiho’s memory completely vanished.
Vaguely hearing Lajin’s call, the sound of crying, small hands brushing here and there, and being embraced in a hurry.
‘Is this a dream?’
Even though she had seen her in the morning, she felt how much she wanted to see her again. Lajin’s dream was just grateful.
While wandering through a dream she didn’t want to wake up from, her voice and touch felt closer.
‘What is this? It feels real.’
Lifting heavy eyelids, Jiho saw red eyes like a rabbit crying. Why was the person scheduled to come tomorrow right in front of him? Moreover, inside the bathtub?
For a moment, in the daze, gradually returning reason conveyed the current situation.
Lajin, with soaking wet clothes, asking if it’s okay, and himself not wearing wet clothes. How should he salvage this situation? He wished it was just a dream.
But when he faced Lajin’s disheveled face, whether sweat or tears, he didn’t want to send her away.
‘Ha, let’s send her off before it gets more awkward here.’
Now, when she didn’t realize anything, was the best option. Jiho caught Lajin’s gaze pouring out all sorts of worries and concerns.
“Would you like to get up slowly with the same face angle?”
Lajin’s empty space, fleeing like a startled mountain rabbit. Placing his foot in the space where she disappeared, Jiho leaned his head against the bathtub.
Her appearance, turning her entire body red when surprised, was so lovely. Looking at the mist-covered, faintly blue ceiling, he took several deep breaths.
‘Well, what can I do.’
Regretting his quick decision, he wondered if sincerity would work. He even tried reasoning. Then, standing in the middle without approval or rejection, he closed his eyes tightly.
Forcing out the frivolous thoughts, he finally tidied up and stood up.
Even after fixing his mind against the pouring stream of water, the moment he met her eyes, sincerity burst out without permission.
“Can’t you stay by my side?”
Despite the absurdity, there was no immunity to her rejection.
He wanted to lean on her sympathy on purpose, hoping to appear weak. It was late at night, and Lajin would leave soon. As if he had never entertained any other thoughts, he hypnotized himself.
But the firm determination shattered the moment he lay down with her.
“Jiho, can I bring a wet towel?”
Cool and smooth, Lajin’s hand touched his forehead.
The small hand could even melt his brain. No, at this rate, his whole body might dissolve without a trace. He scolded himself, filled with contradictions, as if scolding a crazy person.
Then, forcefully suppressing the unstoppable feelings, he raised his head.
“I was ahead of my feelings.”
“…….”
“Being sick is an excuse.”
Jiho stepped back. Then, tapping the blanket, he created a wall, not a wall.
“You behaved so recklessly because you wanted to be with me.”
While brushing up her bangs, he lightly bumped his forehead against hers.
“Ha, you shouldn’t do this to someone who came to deliver luggage.”
“Jiho.”
“Sorry. I couldn’t stand being next to Lajin.”
“I…”
“Before making a mistake, I should go to another room.”
Suppressing the sigh that came out, he stepped back a little more. The moment Lajin approached as much as Jiho moved away, he said softly,
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.
