‘He urgently went on a business trip to the United States.’
If she called now, somehow he seemed like he would drop everything and rush over.
The belief that he would come if she spoke made her strangely calm. Soeun put down her phone.
For that person’s sake, endure for now until he arrives in the United States. He won’t be able to rush over from there.
Patience was Soeun’s greatest asset.
Taejun contacted that he would soon board the plane. Soeun exchanged ordinary greetings as if nothing had happened. The flight was said to be a challenging 14-hour journey with a direct flight. Since he took the plane at 11 a.m., he wouldn’t arrive in the United States until 1 a.m. Korean time.
“Well, we can talk tomorrow, then.”
Taejun could also guess that he wouldn’t call himself at 1 a.m. Soeun could focus on work without anxiously waiting. As time passed, everything seemed to be more or less okay.
After regular working hours, Soeun, as usual, took Bokbae and Eunpyo and went up to the 7th floor.
Director Song Mungyeong, who had spent a leisurely day as Taejun was on a business trip, visited the office.
“Is your body okay, Miss Bokbae?”
“I think I was too tense yesterday. My head hurt this morning.”
“Oh dear, you must have had a hard time.”
“I’m okay now. I had a hangover lunch, and I’m fine now.”
“That’s good.”
Mungyeong asked about Bokbae’s well-being and delivered the news about Taejun.
“Mr. Lee went on a business trip to the United States.”
Soeun nodded silently in her seat, and Bokbae continued the conversation with Mungyeong.
“When is he coming back?”
“Well? He said it wouldn’t take long, but he didn’t specify when.”
“Wow! Then, Director, you have free time until then?”
“He told me to take good care of the TF team.”
Haha. Apologetic, Bokbae mumbled a response.
Mungyeong’s gaze turned to Soeun. Beautiful and diligent, Han Soeun, the team leader, who was good at her job and kind. She had captured the hearts of Director Kim Taejun and Assistant Manager Jang Eunpyo at the same time.
Beautiful. A company where love blooms.
Suddenly, Mungyeong became curious about which way Assistant Manager Han Soeun’s heart leaned.
“Assistant Manager Han, are you feeling okay?”
“Yes, yes. I’m fine.”
Soeun, as usual, gave a simple answer. Mungyeong smiled like a mom and said to the TF team members.
“You guys work hard while others with lovers are out having fun.”
“Oh, Director. We all know you’re aware that we don’t have significant others.”
Bokbae responded with a smirk.
“That’s what I’m saying. Why don’t you guys date when you’re all young, vibrant, and fantastic? Don’t you have someone you like? Someone you want to give everything to, like picking stars for them.”
“Ah! The romantic mind of Director Song!”
Bokbae applauded, seizing the opportunity, changing the topic. Eunpyo, who had been holding back laughter, responded seriously with a voice as sincere as the safety pin he was holding. And suddenly, it turned into an earth science class…
“Most of the cosmic materials entering the atmosphere disintegrate through shockwaves and compression heat when reaching the ground, and only a small portion reaches. Nevertheless, due to the kinetic energy being so significant, even if it falls on a tree, it’s not hanging like an apple but has a high probability of penetrating the tree.”
As Eunpyo spoke, Mungyeong’s expression, who had been silently listening, darkened. Bokbae nodded with a serious gaze burning with scholarly enthusiasm.
“If it fails to penetrate, then the act of picking it up is possible.”
“That’s right. The probability would be tremendous. After picking up cosmic material, you’d have to give it to your loved one, like handing over apples. How many people in history have done that?”
“We’ll have to look that up.”
I don’t want to talk to you guys anymore.
With her lips down and a wry expression, Mungyeong, who had been frowning, turned her blurred gaze back to Soeun. Unexpectedly, Soeun was quietly smiling.
“Assistant Manager, anything good happened to you?”
“No.”
In response to Director Song’s interest, Soeun shook her head and focused on the experiment.
Now I understand the mind of Assistant Manager Han!
I wanted to give nothing and receive nothing. But now, I want to create something even if it doesn’t exist. I want to pick stars and give them away.
Enhanced with a rich romantic imagination, Soeun was proud of herself. By now, Taejun must be flying somewhere over the Pacific, and she began to miss him more.
As Soeun expected, Taejun called the next morning at 7 a.m.
[Did you sleep well?]Upon waking up, hearing Taejun’s voice made the lingering feelings from yesterday come alive again. It was already 6 p.m. in New York.
“Yes. Has Director arrived?”
[Yeah. How’s your body?]As if her condition wasn’t a problem, Taejun habitually asked about Soeun’s state.
“I’m fine. Of course.”
[Nothing happened while I was away, right?]Finally, the time had come. Soeun unleashed the story she had wanted to tell all along.
“Actually, something did happen.”
[What happened?]“Yang Hee-wook came to my house.”
There was a moment of silence, as if the call had been severely delayed. Soeun noticed his restless reaction and nervously bit her lower lip.
[When?]“Yesterday, shortly after you left.”
[Why are you telling me this now?]As expected, his tone turned stern.
“I was worried you might cancel your business trip.”
[You could’ve postponed it. I’ll go as I please.]“…….”
[Are you okay? Are you hurt?]“No. I’m okay. …Yang Hee-wook found out about our relationship.”
[What did that bastard say?]Soeun wondered if she misheard. It wasn’t ‘that bastard,’ but ‘X bastard.’ The man who had never directly uttered a vulgar word in front of her was now not hesitating to use harsh language when it came to Yang Hee-wook.
[Ha. Fine. The lunatic must have gone crazy. Did you report it?]He asked about further actions through Soeun, as if he didn’t want to hear about it from her lips.
“The neighbor reported it. He ran away before the police arrived.”
[Just in case, should I assign a private bodyguard?]“No. That’s okay.”
“I’m fine again. Anyway, I got it. If you have any trouble, contact me again.”
“Yes.”
“From now on, if you don’t talk about these things, I’ll really tie you up.”
That casually thrown remark somehow felt strong, and Soeun already felt as if her whole body was bound.
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.
