“No… He treats me very well.”
Ga-eul climbed the stairs.
Then, she knocked out of courtesy.
Knock, knock.
“…?”
After knocking, there was a strangely absent answer.
Ga-eul, feeling puzzled, called him.
“Representative.”
“…”
“…Representative?”
He just went upstairs; why isn’t he answering? Ga-eul tilted her head in confusion and hesitantly opened the door.
Then, as the door opened, he suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me in.
And quickly closed the door.
Raising my head, I met his gaze directly. He was the first to ask.
“Why did you come upstairs so late?”
“I was chatting with Mother.”
“What conversation?”
“Just… Mother asked if you give me a lot of work.”
“Mother, really.”
Muttering as if it were absurd, he wrapped his arms around her waist. Then, he hugged her tightly.
Ga-eul quietly followed his actions.
Then, suddenly feeling puzzled, she asked.
“Why didn’t you answer while you were inside…?”
Letting go of her from his embrace after her question, he suddenly looked at something far away.
What are you looking at?
Following Kitaek’s gaze, Ga-eul found a sofa at the end. Perplexed, she looked back at him, and he raised one corner of his mouth and answered.
“I remembered that day and was quietly waiting.”
“That day?”
“Yeah. The day Yoon Ga-eul mischievously attacked my lips.”
“Really?”
Ga-eul’s face instantly turned red. Even so, he didn’t stop.
“I wonder when you started targeting me. Now I’m curious again.”
“I-It’s not like that.”
Ga-eul felt embarrassed and turned her words awkwardly. Then, he persistently started teasing.
“It’s not. I was sleeping. Did I do it first then?”
“…….”
Instead of answering, Ga-eul just pouted her lips for no reason.
It had been three days since she last saw his face, but he seemed relentless in teasing her, showing no restraint.
Considering the way he had been urging her to come to the officetel, he seemed quite relaxed.
Since Ga-eul didn’t retract her offered lips, he eventually subtly wrapped his arms around her waist again. Then, he continued speaking.
“So, I thought you’d treat me well. But you’ve been preoccupied with preparing for the painting and neglected me.”
Unlike when he teased her, his tone was now affectionate.
“It seems like you really wanted to see me. Huh? I told you to come up, but you didn’t come up right away.”
He grumbled about how he had called her over several times, but she had been firm.
Despite that, with his favorite bright smile and a tender gaze that seemed to say, ‘I love you,’ Ga-eul eventually began to crumble even before he properly questioned her.
“I missed you a lot too. It was really tough just because I wanted to see you.”
“Even though you gave signs that you wanted to see me, you didn’t come over?”
“I wanted to do well in this exhibition. Since my name has started to become known, I thought if I do even better, I might get proper recognition.”
“…Recognition?”
“Yes! But if you’re next to me, do you think I can concentrate? I might just want to play around with you, Representative.”
He looked a bit puzzled for a moment.
Ga-eul continued.
“I want to finish this exhibition well and get recognition.”
Still puzzled, he asked another question this time.
“People who already know you should know if Yoon Ga-eul can draw well. Who else needs to know?”
Ga-eul bit her lip for a moment, then blushing, she answered consistently.
“In the representative’s household.”
“…….”
“I confidently show that I can contribute greatly to the representative’s business and get recognized.”
Ga-eul, who was speaking well, lost some confidence at the end of her words.
“…Later. I will personally ask Chairman for permission to marry us.”
He didn’t respond to my plan in any way.
Ga-eul slightly tensed up and brushed her face against Kitaek’s face.
When Ga-eul called him again as Kitaek remained silent, he suddenly embraced her into his arms tightly.
Struggling against his sudden strength, Ga-eul said.
“Representative. I can’t breathe! I can’t breathe.”
Even though Ga-eul shouted, Kitaek, who had been hugging her tightly for a long time, finally let her go.
With an upright gaze, he smiled satisfactorily and said.
“If that’s the case, I have to wait quietly. Well, what else can I do.”
At his response to join her plan, Ga-eul finally smiled brightly.
Kitaek, who was watching Ga-eul smile, also followed suit with a bright smile and added more words.
“Instead, don’t make me wait too long. We must keep our promised date this weekend.”
“Yes, of course.”
This time, Ga-eul, shyly, responded first, nestling into Kitaek’s arms.
“If you don’t see me that much, now I find it difficult.”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
