Taejoon’s prepared brunch eventually turned into dinner.
Hanwoo bulgogi and soybean paste stew. Soeun enjoyed the meal as all the side dishes were her favorites. It was amazing that there was no such thing as tasteless food when Taejoon cooked.
With this delicious food in front of her, Taejoon was once again observing Soeun, eating as if there were no tomorrow. Though he didn’t say it, his gaze conveyed the amazement of her eating so well. While that gaze used to bother Soeun, she had become somewhat accustomed to it by now. Despite being a man who constantly teased her whenever they were alone, at least during meals, he didn’t bother her. It was the most comfortable time for her when she could enjoy her meal freely.
“There’s a swimming pool downstairs in the apartment. The facilities are quite good, and it’s even better because there aren’t many people.”
He mentioned it casually when they were almost done with the meal.
“Would you like to go there once?”
At Taejoon’s suggestion, excitement started to pulse within Soeun. She had never been to the swimming pool before.
Having lived as a burden in her aunt’s house, and then independently struggling to afford tuition and living expenses, Soeun’s life was filled with constant worries. Come to think of it, the word “swimming pool” had never entered Soeun’s life.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Soeun hid her remembered voice and said, “But I don’t have a swimsuit.”
“You can buy one. There’s a mall next to the apartment.”
This man is so easy to deal with.
She admired him for making decisions so easily, unlike her, who often hesitated, eventually made decisions, or gave up. She envied his self-assurance, something she might never have in her lifetime.
Suddenly, Soeun wondered if there was anything to fear or be anxious about regarding this man.
After finishing an early dinner, the two went to the swimsuit store next to the apartment. It didn’t take Soeun long to choose a swimsuit.
“I like this one.”
Soeun chose a plain navy blue one-piece swimsuit that perfectly matched her simple style. Taejoon playfully grabbed the swimsuit in front of him.
“I like this one.”
It was a yellow bikini that would reveal more than half of the chest line. Soeun couldn’t hide her genuinely surprised face and turned her head horizontally.
“I can’t wear that. I like this one.”
Holding the swimsuit she picked, Soeun quickly went to the checkout counter as if afraid of being persuaded by Taejoon. Since Taejoon had no intention of forcing a swimsuit on her from the beginning, he quickly accepted Soeun’s decision. When Taejoon tried to take out his wallet next to Soeun, she subtly pushed it away.
“I’ll buy this. Sir.”
“Then buy mine too. I’ll buy Miss Soeun’s, so you buy mine.”
“…….”
“You can buy something naughty for me.”
In response to an unexpected request, Soeun seemed to accept it as she stepped back. After paying for the swimsuits, when she turned around, it seemed like Soeun was contemplating as if choosing a wedding dress. It was always fun to watch a woman who was sincere. There was no room for boredom.
“How about this?”
After seriously considering various options, Soeun chose a navy blue swimsuit with a patterned half-pants design.
“Do you like navy blue?”
“It seems so.”
Soeun, who had maintained a serious expression throughout, smiled elegantly in response to Taejoon’s comment. Seeing that smile, it made one wonder.
“Let’s consider it a couple look. I’ll wear it well.”
As Taejoon accepted, Soeun went to the checkout counter with a satisfied expression.
It was approaching 8 PM. Since the swimming pool operated only until 9 PM, they had to move promptly and enjoy themselves. The two decided to change into swimsuits at home and head downstairs.
Soeun didn’t reveal any gaps until the moment she changed into the swimsuit. Going to the bathroom with the swimsuit, she came out after a few minutes. In fact, that alone was enough stimulation for Taejoon. As her lines, which he had only touched, were revealed, a sudden surge of heat rose from his abdomen.
“Let’s go quickly. It’s too late.”
He reached out to hug her once, but Soeun swiftly left the bedroom as if she hadn’t seen it. Taejoon, pressing his temples with a groaning sound, followed her and draped his beach gown around her. Soeun opened the front door with a remembered expression.
Moving swiftly, they found the pool.
Exceeded capacity. Early closure.
In front of the pool entrance with a notice, the two were frustrated. Taejoon was bewildered, and the anticipated Soeun looked disappointed.
“They said there wouldn’t be many people.”
“I heard there were hardly any not long ago.”
“…….”
“Forget about summer.”
When Taejoon first checked the pool after moving into the apartment, it had recently opened, and there were hardly any users. Now, the pool had gained popularity, and it was difficult to expect the tranquility of the beginning. Taejoon’s mistake was pushing forward without properly confirming the current situation. Seeing her so disappointed, he couldn’t just stand there.
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…
