After finishing the meal, Ina prevented Juwon from cleaning up and rolled up her sleeves.
“I’ll take care of cleaning up today, so you just sit.”
“Huh? No, you’re tired. I’ll do it.”
“More tired than someone who came after working overtime? Sit down quickly.”
Ina grabbed Juwon’s arm and urged him to sit, and Juwon reluctantly complied.
“Okay.”
Once Juwon sat down, Ina disposed of the remaining food and took the dishes to the sink. While she was about to do a quick pre-rinse before putting them in the dishwasher, suddenly Juwon’s hands slipped around Ina’s waist from both sides.
“Huh? What’s this?”
Surprised, Ina turned around, and Juwon, who appeared out of nowhere, embraced her from behind, reaching both arms over to the sink.
“If we do it together, it’ll finish faster.”
“Oh? There are only a few dishes.”
“Still, let’s do it together.”
With Ina holding the dishes, Juwon reached over her hands, turning on the water and rinsing the dishes. Warm water flowed down Juwon’s large hands and dripped onto Ina’s back of the hand.
For a moment, Ina couldn’t distinguish whether Juwon was washing the dishes or her hands. Anyway, the dishes were quickly washed and placed in the dishwasher.
“Now, shall we go wash up too?”
Whispering into Ina’s ear, Juwon turned towards the bathroom.
Then, holding Ina’s right hand and lifting it up, he shouted, “Charge into the bathroom!”
With Ina giggling like a child, Juwon hugged her around the waist, swaying from side to side, and charged into the bathroom.
Feeling like a child, Ina laughed as Juwon gently set her down in front of the bathroom.
“You go shower first. I’ll put your clothes out in front.”
“Yeah, got it.”
As Ina entered the bathroom to put toothpaste on her toothbrush, Juwon mentioned that he had placed her clothes outside the door.
Acknowledging it, Ina opened the door and took her clothes.
After a while, when Ina finished showering, this time Juwon went in to wash up.
Ina sat in front of the powder room, drying her hair. After a while, Juwon, who finished showering, came out.
Observing Juwon towel-drying his hair, Ina stood up. Then, she gestured for Juwon to sit on the chair.
“Last time, you dried my hair, so this time, I’ll dry yours.”
Although Juwon said it was okay, when Ina insisted, he reluctantly came and sat in the chair.
Turning on the hairdryer, Ina started to dry Juwon’s hair slowly. It felt strange to manipulate a man’s hair since it was her first time doing so. After finishing drying, Ina combed Juwon’s hair neatly. Looking at Juwon through the mirror, she said, “Really… Whoever’s lover you are, he’s incredibly handsome.”
Juwon chuckled and pulled Ina towards him, making her sit on his lap.
Then, looking into Ina’s eyes, he smiled lovingly.
“Ina.”
Ina responded with a questioning tone, “Hm?”
“Can you tell me what’s going on now?”
“Hm?”
“Anything happened after work, right?”
Seeing Juwon’s serious gaze, Ina blinked her eyes instead of answering. Juwon reached out and gently stroked Ina’s cheek.
“Why? Is it something you can’t talk about?”
“Huh? It’s not that…”
As Ina hesitated, Juwon handed over Ina’s hair and said, “Maybe… related to Minsuji?”
Oh, Juwon really… has a knack for this.
As Ina hesitated to speak, Juwon pulled her waist, hugging her tightly.
“Maybe… Are you still feeling uneasy because of Minsuji?”
Seeing regret in Juwon’s expression, Ina immediately lifted her head.
“Absolutely not. Nothing like that.”
“Then… Why did your complexion look so bad earlier?”
Ina, looking at Juwon in silence, sighed briefly and spoke.
Actually… When I came here earlier, Minsuji was standing in front of your house.”
Juwon’s pupils widened.
“What did you say?”
Juwon’s expression, asking as if he couldn’t believe it, immediately solidified.
Then, closing his eyes tightly, he took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.
“Sorry, Ina.”
As soon as he opened his eyes, Ina stared at Juwon with widened eyes.
“No. Why are you sorry?”
“I thought I wouldn’t see her again after that day… I’m sorry for making you encounter her again.”
“No. It’s not something you did. She came to your house on her own.”
Juwon, who had been silently staring at Ina, sighed deeply once again.
“I never thought… she would come to the house.”
Juwon raised his hand to sweep his bangs aside and then looked back at Ina.
“So, what did Minsuji say? Did she say anything harsh to you?”
After hesitating for a moment, Ina opened her mouth and briefly talked about the conversation she had with Minsuji.
After hearing everything, Juwon sighed with irritation and bit his lip.
Deep-seated anger was evident in Juwon’s expression.
Ina quietly reached out and gently released Juwon’s bitten lip.
“It’s okay. I made her leave, right? Or rather, two times?”
Smiling, Ina, who spoke while gazing at Juwon, was silently reached out by Juwon and embraced.
Ina, embraced in Juwon’s broad chest, reached out and hugged Juwon’s neck.
With his big hands, Juwon gently stroked Ina’s back.
“Still, I’m sorry. For causing you stress because of Minsuji.”
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.

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.
