Inside the gallery office,
Giktae was wrestling with frustration that refused to settle, leaving an imprint of irritation on his face.
Those who knew why he was uncomfortable did not dare to make a peep near his office.
Knock, knock. After a while, a knocking sound echoed from beyond the office where not a single sign of popularity could be felt. Soon, a careful voice of an employee accompanied the knocks.
“Uh, sir, a visitor has arrived.”
Today, he hadn’t made any appointments because it was an important day for him.
Though he didn’t know who it was, the visitor at the moment was nothing short of an unwelcome guest.
Coincidentally, a message arrived from my secretary that a space had been arranged for the meeting with Reporter Oh Byeong-hoon.
As he was planning to move to meet Reporter Oh Byeong-hoon soon, Giktae responded firmly.
“I have no appointments as far as I know.”
“Well… The circumstances are such that someone came unexpectedly, expressing a desire to meet the CEO…”
“Tell them to come back another time.”
“…Yes, sir.”
Swiftly refusing and feeling frustrated, he put on the jacket that had been thrown on carelessly and left the office.
That was when,
“CEO Han Giktae!”
“…?”
Waiting outside was Reporter Kang Young-gyu, whose face was slightly flushed, calling him.
Was the visitor who came to see me Reporter Kang Young-gyu?
Giktae quickly grasped that fact, but there was no time to chit-chat with Reporter Kang Young-gyu now.
“Sorry. I’m a bit busy right now. Let’s talk later.”
As he was about to pass by, Kang Young-gyu shouted at him.
“It’s about Reporter Oh Byeong-hoon! I have something important to convey. Can you spare a moment?”
The steps of Giktae, who was about to get into the car, came to a sudden halt.
“Oh Byeong-hoon?”
“Yes.”
“Is it about the recent article?”
“Yes, it is.”
‘Well, there’s enough time, and it wouldn’t hurt to hear what he has to say.’
He nodded slightly.
“Let’s go upstairs and talk.”
“Yes, sir.”
Thunk, the office door closed, leaving only the two of them. Kang Young-gyu finally handed over a USB.
“Would you like to check it first?”
Looking at Kang Young-gyu with a puzzled expression, Giktae checked all the photos on the USB.
Inside were pictures of me exchanging greetings with female celebrities, my figure following behind as if in pursuit, and…
‘This is Gaeul.’
Even a picture of Gaeul standing in front of the gallery with both hands full of side dishes.
Giktae’s eyebrows furrowed in an instant. Then, as if asking what this was all about, he looked sharply at Kang Young-gyu.
With a sharp gaze that seemed to demand an explanation, Kang Young-gyu quickly responded as if defending himself.
“Oh, don’t misunderstand. I didn’t take these pictures. It’s a copy of the USB that Reporter Oh Byeong-hoon personally carries. In fact…”
Kang Young-gyu explained why he brought this USB.
Last night, when Kang Young-gyu, the reporter, briefly visited the office, he happened to discover Reporter Oh Byeong-hoon, who was lingering around the office until late.
Quietly passing by, thinking it would be courteous to exchange greetings, he approached Oh Byeong-hoon’s seat.
As he was about to turn away after the greeting, he caught a glimpse of an unsettling photo in his line of sight.
It was a familiar picture of two people.
Because Kang Young-gyu was responsible for interviews in the art world, recognizing the two of them was not difficult.
“I approached to greet him, but he left the laptop and hurriedly went out to answer the phone. That’s when I happened to see it. Files displayed on Oh Byeong-hoon’s laptop screen. I wondered if he would write such an article in just one day…”
Kang Young-gyu didn’t like Oh Byeong-hoon.
To be precise, it was because he was a journalist who seemed to go against the principles of being a journalist, striving to write honest articles. He was someone unpleasant, as if tarnishing his own profession. Just looking at the false gossip and provocative articles Oh Byeong-hoon had written so far made him feel that way.
Kang Young-gyu recalled last night’s events.
Now that he thought about it, even the way he went out to answer the phone seemed suspicious.
He could have taken the call right there. It was an action that didn’t suit Oh Byeong-hoon’s usual character. It would be understandable if he loudly made a scene or left from his own place, but…
He didn’t know who it was, but confirming the caller and hastily leaving seemed suspicious. Speaking in a hushed voice and gradually moving away, he seemed like a thief stealing something and running away.
Kang Young-gyu’s journalistic instincts were sharp.
Kang Young-gyu quickly glanced around, took out the USB he had and copied Oh Byeong-hoon’s USB. He hesitated.
Was it right to deliver this to Han Giktae, the CEO…?
Momentarily surprised by his own act of secretly duplicating someone else’s USB, Kang Young-gyu didn’t turn back on the way to return it. Especially considering Oh Byeong-hoon’s reputation for writing tacky articles.
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.
