“Dad! Dad~.”
As Minwoo struggled to open his eyes, his daughter’s face filled his vision.
“Dad, did you drink and come home late again yesterday? You forgot the promise with me.”
“No, I didn’t forget, Dad. We’re going to the amusement park with Ye-won today!”
“Kim Manager gave Dad alcohol again, right? I’ll scold him next time I see Mr. Kim. Yeah, next time, let Ye-won scold Mr. Kim. Dad’s having a hard time because of that guy these days.”
Minwoo continued to work at the company that Jiwon introduced him to.
He became a section chief and is currently the sales manager.
Initially, when he joined this company, he explored many other places, but Minwoo’s past always held him back.
At first, this reality was painful, but fortunately, he has now adapted to some extent to this company.
The company is well aware of Minwoo’s status as a single parent and provides a lot of support, so he was emotionally rooted in this place.
“Hurry up and come here, Dad. I prepared breakfast.”
Following Ye-won’s hand that pulled him, they went to the kitchen, where rice, soup, and seaweed were neatly arranged on the table.
“Wow! This is the Hwangtaeguk Dad needs the most right now!”
As he intentionally spoke louder and expressed joy, Ye-won’s face was full of pride.
“Right? Dad needs Hwangtaeguk now, right? Dad’s daughter is the best?”
“Of course~ Our Ye-won is always the best for Dad.”
The weekend morning program was airing on the TV.
“Dad, I’m thinking of becoming a chef later. That man is a famous person, and he earns a lot of money! He appears a lot on TV, cooks extremely fast, and all the food looks so delicious.”
“Do you want to be a chef, my daughter? Just do whatever Ye-won wants!”
Without paying attention to the TV, Minwoo, who only listened to Ye-won’s words, answered and took a sip of Hwangtaeguk.
Though it was instant, perhaps because of the daughter’s love, the warm soup seemed to soothe the bitterness in his stomach.
“Today, we have Chef Steve in our program! Nice to meet you, Chef. I’m sure you’re very busy with the recent opening of a new restaurant and various broadcast appearances, but thank you for coming to our studio.”
“Nice to meet you. It’s not like any other program; I must appear on ‘Good Morning.’ ”
“Thank you for saying that. Shall we go straight into the cooking? What will be today’s dish, Chef?”
“Today, I’ll be making spiced eggplant stir-fry and fried rice.”
“Once again, you’ll be suggesting a new fusion dish with interesting ingredients today. We’re looking forward to it.”
While humming to the song of her favorite singer, Ye-won was intently staring at the TV.
It was when Chef Steve, on-screen, raised his arm to start cooking.
“Oh my! I’ve never seen it before, but there’s such a beautiful butterfly shape on his wrist!”
“Ah, all my family members have these butterfly-shaped moles. The locations are different, though. Looking at Grandfather having this mole near his ankle, it seems like it’s inherited from the father’s side.”
“Oh my, how fascinating.”
Ye-won, who turned her head while watching TV, grabbed Minwoo’s arm and shook it.
“Dad! Chef Steve also has a butterfly-shaped mole like mine! Wow, it’s amazing. I’ve never seen anyone in school with a mole like this.”
“……Steve?”
Minwoo’s eyes widened as he looked at the TV screen, responding to Ye-won’s words.
He immediately got up and turned off the TV.
“Oh, Dad! Why did you turn it off? I find that man interesting. Please turn it on again.”
“Ye-won~ Dad has a really bad headache, you know? It’s more painful because it’s noisy. Let’s turn it off for a while.”
In front of his daughter, who was looking at him with concern, Minwoo’s voice, trying not to reveal his trembling, gently subsided.
It was two hours later when they arrived at the amusement park.
Perhaps because it was the weekend, the amusement park was overcrowded.
Ye-won, excited about coming to the amusement park with her dad, constantly chattered away while dragging Minwoo.
The energetic child had many things she wanted to ride and places she wanted to visit.
After riding various attractions for about three hours without a break, Minwoo momentarily halted Ye-won.
“Ye-won, Dad is tired. Shall we eat some snacks and drinks, then go for more rides?”
“Sure! I want to eat a hotdog!”
Observing Ye-won’s sparkling eyes as she talked about hotdogs, Minwoo couldn’t help but smile involuntarily.
“Okay. So, while Dad goes to buy the food, you have to stay right here without moving, alright?”
Navigating through the crowded masses, Minwoo finally found a spot where they could eat. He settled Ye-won and headed toward the food court to get the food.
When he saw a hotdog place that Ye-won wanted to try in the distance, he hurriedly walked.
“Oh, it’s cold!”
Feeling a chill on his pants, he looked down and saw a little kid, around five years old, holding a drink. The child ran toward him and collided, causing Minwoo’s pants to get completely wet.
“Sigh…”
While Minwoo couldn’t get upset with a child, he felt annoyed with the invisible child’s parents.
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. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. 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.
