Though not entirely convinced, Morgan seemed somewhat reassured and continued eating.
Jang Hyunsu had instructed Green to keep his identity secret from Morgan, so she quickly changed the subject.
“Actually, I’m getting married next month.”
Morgan’s eyes widened in shock. It was a visibly stunned expression.
“With whom? You had a boyfriend?”
“It’s an arranged marriage. He works at K1 Construction.”
“When’s the wedding? Should I host it or collect the wedding gifts?”
“It’s a small wedding with only family. We’re not inviting anyone else.”
“Huh? That’s odd. Are you really getting married? It’s not just in your imagination?”
“Hey!”
Morgan’s playful demeanor turned serious as Green snapped back.
“Do you really like this guy? To suddenly decide to marry him?”
Taken aback by the piercing question, Green reflexively flinched. She naturally thought of Seonwoo, who had suggested a contractual marriage.
There was no romantic affection between them, but there seemed to be a sense of sympathy and solidarity as kindred spirits.
“Of course!”
Thus, Green could answer confidently.
“What do you like about him?”
“He’s incredibly handsome. Just my type.”
Finally, Morgan smiled.
“I’m glad. Congratulations on your wedding, Green.”
For the first time, Green realized she was being congratulated on her marriage. Both Hanna and Jenny had been more worried than congratulatory.
Although unconventional, Morgan’s congratulations felt like an endorsement of her decision, making Green happy.
“Thanks, Morgan.”
As Green laughed heartily at Morgan, a deep red sunset descended over the darkening sea.
“Hey, look! It’s Morgan and the photographer!”
Some staff from the photoshoot team, who had come to the same restaurant for dinner, spotted the two.
“Right. They seem really close. The photographer is quite a beauty too!”
“What are you talking about? Morgan’s face is much smaller!”
“Oh, stop being jealous!”
The staff members joked and laughed amongst themselves.
Moved by the lovely scene of Morgan and Green playfully interacting, an older lighting technician took a photo of them against the sunset and posted it in the group chat.
“Morgan and the photographer are about to leave. We need to hurry, or we’ll miss dinner and have to rush to the airport. Gather up, everyone!”
Ten minutes after the message was posted, all the staff gathered at the restaurant. Even those who considered skipping the meal due to fatigue were lured by the captivating rooftop view.
This marked the successful end of Green’s first long business trip.
Even after returning from Thailand, Green was busy arranging a special hospital room for her mother and settling overdue hospital bills. She wanted to clear all debts before her wedding.
Han Munteak, whose business affairs were always a mystery, had recently been staying away from home.
Green was relieved by his absence. Despite being her father, she was preparing to betray him by marrying Seonwoo, so it was easier not to see his face.
Soon, Green’s wedding day approached. The night before, Jenny invited friends to her house.
To make up for their inability to attend Green’s unconventional wedding, they organized a modest bridal shower.
“Getting married in the middle of summer’s peak, what a timing!”
“Even funnier is a Monday wedding at 3 PM. Good thing we’re not inviting guests; otherwise, there would’ve been a lot of complaints.”
“I wish I could see Green in her wedding dress. She must look gorgeous!”
“Of course, she would. Who do you think she is?”
Bound by the contract with her in-laws, Green couldn’t divulge much about her wedding.
She only shared that the wedding was arranged under Han Munteak’s coercion and that they agreed not to invite anyone.
“If I reveal the contract details, I’ll owe 300 billion won in penalties.”
Initially eager to pry more from Green, Hanna dropped her curiosity at the mention of the hefty sum.
Hanna had been busy decorating Jenny’s house since daylight, but Green, the guest of honor, arrived late at night, exhausted and carrying a large bag.
“Why so late? You said you’d come early.”
“The lighting malfunctioned, delaying the shoot. And after visiting mom in the hospital, it’s already this late.”
Dropping her bag, Green collapsed onto the sofa, prompting Hanna to click her tongue.
“A bride so tired on the eve of her wedding! To strangers, it looks like you’ve been having hot nights with your fiancé.”
Green laughed from her reclined position.
“I wish. Haven’t seen him since the engagement meeting! What’s a phone call?”
“Wow!”
Even Jenny, who rarely got surprised, looked at Green in disbelief.
“Neither of you is curious about the other, and you’re getting married tomorrow?”
Struggling to her feet, Green replied as she looked at her friends.
“I was busy, and Jin Seonwoo seemed really busy too. The best kindness at such times is not bothering each other. I need a shower.”
As Green disappeared into the bathroom, Jenny and Hanna exchanged glances.
“Hanna, we need to change our bridal shower plan, don’t we?”
“Yeah. Let’s ditch everything else and just give Green a full massage when she’s out of the shower. She needs to look her best for the makeup tomorrow.”
Hanna quickly got up and started removing the balloons and decorations she had put up around the room.
They both instantly understood that Green had overworked herself today in an attempt to distract herself from the anxiety about her upcoming wedding.
“Once she’s out of the shower, we’ll start with a full-body massage to loosen up her muscles, then move on to a facial massage.”
Jenny and Hanna brought out all sorts of skincare products, mask packs, gua sha tools, and massagers, intending to use everything they had to help Green feel refreshed for the next day. They hoped to ease at least some of her anxiety and fear, wishing that Green would think of them whenever she faced hard times.
When Green emerged from the shower, she was met with her friends’ determined looks and instinctively started to back away, but to no avail.
“Lie down. It’s massage time.”
“Wait, guys, that hurts! No, not there, it’s too painful! Ahh!”
That night, Green had no choice but to surrender her body and face to her overly enthusiastic friends until late.
On the day of the wedding, Green left Jenny’s house around 10 AM and headed alone to the K1 Hotel, the wedding venue.
The wedding was scheduled for an unusual time and day – a Monday afternoon in early August. The time was dictated by Seonwoo’s mother, Park Inyoung, but Han Munteak had no complaints.
Arriving at the hotel, Green was surprised to find a crowd of reporters with notepads and cameras, and even cable TV reporters with broadcasting equipment. In their midst, Han Munteak was confidently giving an interview.
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.
