After a hectic Monday, Tuesday arrived.
Early in the morning, Ina got up, quickly washed up, and was drying her hair when she received a message from Siwoo.
[Siwoo] Did you sleep well? Have a good day at work and let’s meet after you get off.Ina replied to the message, finished drying her hair, and did her makeup.
Opening her wardrobe, Ina looked around and decided to wear an ivory knit with a densely checked brown skirt and jacket.
After one last look in the mirror, she grabbed her handbag and left her house.
An hour later, arriving at her office, Ina put down her handbag and went to the break room, where Sena and Eunjeong were chatting.
“Assistant Manager Seo, you’re here?”
As they greeted her, Ina smiled and returned the greeting.
“Oh, right. Assistant Manager Seo.”
While making coffee, Sena leaned in and said,
“About the chicken and beer treat next week. How about Tuesday? We talked about it, and everyone seems okay with Tuesday.”
“Sure, that works for me.”
“I’ll make a reservation in advance. It’s a popular place, so it’s better to book.”
“Alright, do that.”
“Yay, chicken and beer. Chicken and beer.”
Sena danced with excitement, and Eunjeong joined in.
Ina also joined in, chanting ‘chicken and beer’ and waving her arms.
After a busy afternoon, it was finally time to leave work.
At 6:40 PM, Ina left the office, took the subway to Samsung Station, and headed towards Exit 4, where she saw Hyunju waiting in the distance.
“Hyunju!”
At Ina’s voice, Hyunju, who was looking at her phone, turned her attention.
“Did you arrive?”
As Hyunju linked arms with Ina, she gave a mischievous smile.
“What’s with that look?”
“How was it, watching a movie with Mr. Jiwon?”
“Oh? Uh… well, the movie was fun.”
Ina answered, looking down, caught off guard by the unexpected question.
“What’s with that reaction? Something happen?”
“No, nothing… happened. What could happen?”
But Hyunju’s eyes narrowed, seeing the obvious lie on Ina’s face.
“Come on… there’s definitely something. What is it?”
“I’m telling you, nothing happened.”
Ina’s forehead began to sweat, but then her phone rang.
“Just a second, I need to take this call.”
Ina pressed the phone screen and quickly answered.
“Hello? Oh, Siwoo. We just arrived. Oh? Okay, got it.”
After hanging up, Ina pulled Hyunju along.
“Siwoo said he’ll be about 20 minutes late, let’s go in first.”
Hyunju, being dragged along, gave Ina a skeptical look.
Shortly after, they arrived at the jokbal place Hyunju had strongly recommended. They ordered a large serving of jokbal and a bottle of soju.
As soon as the soju arrived, Hyunju poured it and asked,
“Come on, tell me the truth. What happened?”
Ina shook her head at Hyunju’s persistent questioning.
“Ah, really… Hyunju, you’re so persistent.”
Ina downed the soju in one go and said,
“You’re my best friend, you should naturally know, right? What is it? Huh?”
After a short sigh, Ina finally opened up.
On Sunday, Ina opened up about the strange, unidentified emotions she felt towards Jiwon.
After hearing everything, Hyunju had a thoughtful expression and rested her chin on her hand.
“So, you felt these feelings for Jiwon several times throughout Sunday?”
Ina nodded silently.
“Isn’t that like 100% a green light?”
“I don’t know. But it’s so weird, right? Suddenly feeling this way about a friend.”
“What’s weird about it? He’s a guy before he’s a friend, isn’t he?”
Though it wasn’t wrong, Ina’s heart was in turmoil, prompting her to lift her soju glass to her lips.
“Hey hey, drink slowly. You’ll hurt your stomach. Wait for the jokbal.”
Hyunju handed Ina a cucumber slice, and she took it with a troubled look.
“Hey, but is he good-looking?”
“Why do you ask?”
“I’m curious about his looks at this point. How is he? Good-looking?”
Ina thought about Jiwon’s appearance.
His deep and dark eyes, perfectly black eyebrows, a nose that’s straight and smooth, and irresistibly attractive lips…
No word in the world seemed sufficient to describe Jiwon’s charming face.
Feeling embarrassed for having such thoughts, Ina’s cheeks turned red.
Noticing her expression, Hyunju squinted her eyes and said,
“Look at that? Your face says he’s good-looking. He is, isn’t he?”
Ina covered her cheeks with her hands, feeling embarrassed.
“Is he more handsome than Siwoo?”
“Huh?”
“Is he more handsome than Kim Siwoo? Siwoo is also really handsome.”
Ina pondered as she fiddled with her cheek.
Surely, Siwoo had a very handsome face.
He was immensely popular in school, and as an adult, he became even more dashing.
But in Ina’s heart, the scales had already tipped in Jiwon’s favor.
Instead of answering, her cheeks turned even redder, and Hyunju’s mouth dropped open in surprise.
“What? More handsome than Kim Siwoo? Then how handsome is he, huh?”
Right at that moment, the restaurant door opened, and Siwoo walked in.
As Hyunju’s mouth hung open, she quickly changed her expression and waved.
“Siwoo! Here, over here.”
“You won’t tell Siwoo any weird stuff, right?”
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.
