Peaceful days passed by. The seasons had already turned into a cold winter, and the third week of December had passed. It was a bustling December with no time to rest, but Ina’s heart was endlessly excited for the upcoming Christmas. This was because she and Juwon had decided to spend Christmas Eve alone at Juwon’s father’s villa in Gapyeong.
A month ago, when Juwon expressed his desire to use the villa, his father permitted it but with one condition. He mentioned that he wanted to have a meal with Ina once the new year arrived. Upon hearing this, Ina gladly agreed. Although she had already met Juwon’s father during their visit to Yeosu, there was still a desire to meet him again. She remembered how warmly he greeted her whenever she visited Juhi’s house during middle school. Now, it might not be her friend’s father but a potential future father-in-law, which made her nervous, but they promised to meet in the new year.
Time passed, and before they knew it, it was December 24th. Despite weather forecasts predicting snow, it didn’t fall. As Christmas Eve approached, everyone was eager, and as soon as it was time to leave work, they promptly got up from their desks and left the office.
Ina also turned off her computer and prepared to leave work when she received a text from Juwon.
“I just arrived. Come out slowly.”
Smiling upon checking the message, Ina stood up. Going down the elevator and out to the main gate, she saw Juwon leaning against the car. Today, as always, he looked handsome, and Ina smiled as she approached him. As she got closer to Juwon, her heart started to beat faster.
“Did you arrive?”
Juwon asked, opening the passenger side door. After Ina got in, Juwon also sat in the driver’s seat and held her hand.
“Because it’s Christmas Eve, there might be some traffic. And we might stop by the market on the way.”
“The market?”
“Yeah. I’ll buy some steaks.”
“Wow, really?”
“Yeah, I’ll make them delicious.”
“Wow, you’re the best!”
“But, you know…”
Suddenly, Juwon lowered his upper body and asked in a discreet voice, “Did you wear it?”
“Huh? Wear what?”
“The leopard print.”
At Juwon’s words, Ina blinked for a moment, then her face quickly turned bright red. The ‘leopard print’ he mentioned referred to the couple underwear that Juhi had sent as a gift. During their conversation the day before, Juwon reminded her of the promise to wear it on Christmas Eve, and blushing, Ina responded that she understood.
Touching her reddened cheek, Ina looked at Juwon, waiting for his response.
“Well, did you wear it?”
“Of course.”
Without a second of hesitation, Juwon replied, making Ina’s cheeks even redder.
“I, I also… wore it.”
Ina said with an awkward voice, and Juwon chuckled with a raised corner of his mouth.
“Oh, really? I’m looking forward to it. We should get there as soon as possible.”
Saying that, Juwon immediately started the car.
“I, I also… wore it.”
When Ina awkwardly spoke in a embarrassed voice, Juwon raised the corners of his mouth, smiling.
“Oh, really? I’m looking forward to it. We should get there as soon as possible.”
Saying that, Juwon immediately started the car.
Despite Juwon’s urgent feelings, the road was relatively clear, and after driving with patience, Juwon’s car finally passed the tollgate in Gapyeong.
After driving for about another 10 minutes, Juwon’s car stopped in front of a large supermarket.
After parking, the two went into the mart, and Juwon pulled out a shopping cart.
Holding Juwon’s arm as they pushed the cart, Ina felt like they were a newlywed couple, and her heart thumped.
The two leisurely walked through the mart, picking up enough ingredients for steaks, things to eat tomorrow, and snacks, and then left the mart.
After getting back in the car, they drove for about 15 minutes before arriving at Juwon’s villa.
From the moment Ina could see the villa in the distance, her mouth gradually widened, and when the car stopped in front of the villa, her mouth opened wide like a floodgate.
“Wow… It’s really, really an amazing villa.”
Ina, who got out of the car, looked up at the villa, speaking with awe.
The spacious villa, surrounded by a wide lawn and planted with large pine trees, looked like a country house. She had imagined a villa like a rural residence, but the villa in front of her was a sophisticated and modern one with a clean white exterior that exuded a sense of modernity.
“Wow, I’ve only seen villas like this in dramas… It’s really so elegant.”
With her mouth wide open in admiration, Ina, Juwon smiled and opened the car door.
“Let’s rest until lunchtime tomorrow.”
“…Yeah.”
As Ina looked at the villa with an excited heart, Juwon began to take out what he had bought.
Ina quickly helped Juwon with the luggage, and the two entered the villa.
Opening the door and entering the living room, Ina’s mouth widened even more.
The sparkling luxurious marble floor, high ceiling, and the picturesque view through the large window—all of it was perfect.
Moreover, the huge Christmas tree placed next to the window made Ina even more excited.
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.
