While smiling, Suji threw the paper towel into the trash can, and Ina blinked at Suji.
‘What’s this tone?’
As if expressing relief that the two haven’t been dating for long, Ina suddenly felt a bitter mood.
‘Does this woman… like Juwon?’
Somehow, a bad premonition was about to rise when Suji suddenly reached out her hand to Ina.
With a puzzled look, Ina stared at that hand, and Suji smiled, saying,
“I didn’t introduce myself properly earlier, right? My name is Minsuji. I majored in business administration at the same university as Juwon.”
“Ah… I’m Seoina.”
While still feeling a bit bitter, Ina held Suji’s hand quietly.
Suji, who lightly shook hands, asked with a curious look,
“But how did you meet Juwon? He probably didn’t go on a blind date with his personality…?”
Although Ina didn’t feel the need to answer, she smiled and replied,
“It wasn’t a blind date. I’ve known and been friends with Juwon since middle school.”
“Middle school?”
Suji asked with widened eyes, seemingly surprised.
“Yes.”
Suji blinked at Ina and then smiled.
“It’s quite… a long time.”
“Well, you could say that.”
“I’m curious. How was Juwon in middle school?”
Seeing Suji’s pleasant smile as if imagining Juwon from that time, something in Ina’s heart wriggled even more.
“I guess Juwon was… charming even back then, like he is now?”
Suji’s provocation, masked as curiosity, came straight at Ina, poking her heart.
The smile that had been lingering on Ina’s lips quietly disappeared.
Ah… the slightly bitter feeling I felt earlier wasn’t my imagination.
Although her heart felt chilly, Ina made an effort to smile calmly and replied,
“Why bother saying anything? It just hurts my mouth.”
Unexpectedly bold, Ina’s response surprised Suji for a moment, but she quickly burst into laughter.
“Really? But I’m curious. You’ve known the charming Juwon for so long… why did you start dating him so late?”
Smiling with a hint of mischief, Suji asked, but Ina sensed the sharpness hidden in the phrase ‘so late.’
This time, Ina, with a smirk, asked Suji,
“I’m a bit confused right now… are you very close to Juwon? Or… do you have a lot of interest in our Juwon?”
The phrase ‘our Juwon’ from Ina’s words pricked Suji’s chest sharply.
Suji bit her inner lip, then smiled again before answering,
“Well, if you can express lingering feelings for an ex as interest… then I guess it’s interest.”
Ina’s eyes widened.
“What? What did you just…”
“I’ve been dating Juwon for a year and a half.”
At that statement, Ina’s heart dropped somewhere deep down.
Stunned, Ina couldn’t say anything, but Suji, with a smile, said, “Well…”
“Are you surprised?”
Ina regained her composure and asked Suji while looking straight at her.
“When did you start dating?”
“It’s been three years.”
Three years…
Ina tried hard to think that it was just a brief moment in Juwon’s past that she didn’t know about and asked,
“But why are you telling me this now?”
After smiling mysteriously, Suji added strength to her eyes and said,
“I met Juwon for the first time in three years at last week’s alumni meeting. I wondered how I would feel seeing him after three years… He’s still charming. I want to reclaim him.”
In Suji’s voice, which emphasized the last ‘want to reclaim,’ Ina’s pupils stopped.
Her heart started pounding, and at that moment, Ina’s phone rang. It was Juwon.
Ina composed herself and answered the call.
“Hello?”
-Oh. The meal is over now. Are you still in the restroom?
“No, I’m leaving now. Yes. Wait for me there.”
After hiding her nervousness and speaking affectionately, Ina hung up the phone and looked at Suji.
“It seems like you’re having some misunderstanding right now…”
Ina said as she stared at Suji with a chilly voice.
Suji, in turn, looked directly at Ina with a chilling voice.
“If you say you want to reclaim, does that mean Juwon was such a careless person?”
This time, Suji’s eyes widened.
The woman in front of her was completely different from her, a small and cute beauty in style.
The words that came out of such a cute woman’s mouth were colder than expected, surprising Suji.
“If you’ve been dating for a year and a half and still haven’t figured out Juwon’s personality, I wonder…”
Suji stared at Ina with a stiff expression.
“Who knows my man’s charm better than me? I hope you never mention Juwon’s name again.”
Suji bit her lip and glared at Ina.
“Well, then, I’ll leave first. Our Juwon is waiting.”
Ina left with an expressionless face, leaving Suji with trembling lips and clenching her fists.
Approaching Juwon, Ina’s hands were shaking.
Ina quickly grabbed her hands and managed her expression.
Standing next to Juwon, a female colleague who had been standing next to Hojun asked Ina,
“We’re going to a coffee shop for a cup of coffee. Do you want to come with us, Ina?”
“Ah…”
Ina was about to answer, but Juwon, holding Ina’s hand, spoke to the colleague.
“Sorry, we have plans.”
Ina looked at Juwon when he spoke.
We don’t have any plans… Does Juwon perhaps know about my feelings now?
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.
