“It’s a meaningful earring to me. That earring is really, really precious.”
Kyle listened to Sehee’s story about her lost earring, which he wasn’t particularly curious about.
How many times had she repeated that story?
He thought that as soon as they got out of here, he would definitely find that earring for her.
“I remember how much I agonized over choosing it when I first earned money from a part-time job. At that time, the price was…”
“I’ll definitely find that earring for you.”
Unable to bear it anymore, Kyle firmly stated.
“Really? You’re a more decent person than I thought, Mr. Graham.”
Sehee approached him with a delighted expression.
“It seems like you’re not going to stop talking about it otherwise.”
Sehee’s expression quickly turned sour at Kyle’s response.
So, he was not offering to help out of pure intention, but because he was tired of listening?
“It’s okay. I’ll find it myself. And from now on, just keep your mouth shut.”
Sehee spoke sharply, feeling offended, and turned away.
“No, I’ll definitely find it.”
“It’s okay, I said.”
“I’ll find it for sure.”
Kyle’s voice grew firmer, almost as if he was making a vow.
Why is this man so obsessed over something so trivial?
Baffled by his persistence, Sehee looked at Kyle incredulously.
Then, with a loud creak, the ship tilted sharply to one side.
Unaccustomed to the movement of a cruise ship, Sehee, terrified by the unfamiliar swaying, turned pale.
“Aaah!”
Startled, Sehee screamed and dashed into Kyle’s arms.
Kyle looked down at Sehee, who was trembling and clinging to his waist, with a surprised expression.
Was she this scared?
Had she been talking non-stop to hide her fear?
Kyle felt sorry for misunderstanding Sehee’s fear.
Considering the size of the ship, it was unlikely to be affected by high waves, but apparently, the swell was quite high today.
As he was about to comfort her by patting her back, the feel of her smooth skin under her deeply cut dress stopped Kyle’s hand.
He took off his suit jacket and gently draped it over Sehee’s shoulders.
“Evans Shipping’s Dekona is a vessel built by the renowned British shipbuilding company Loyden from start to finish, boasting top-notch safety,” he explained.
His large hand grasped her shoulder, gently lifting her up.
“The special material of the hull was first introduced in British history. Developed with full support from the Evans Group, this material is unofficially known to withstand damage even from reefs and icebergs.”
Kyle’s deep blue eyes earnestly met Sehee’s.
“So, don’t worry. This ship is sturdier and safer than any other. And if anything happens… I’ll save you.”
The sincerity in Kyle’s gaze was powerful.
His low, deep voice instilled real confidence in Sehee.
The trembling in her shoulders slowly subsided.
Dumbfounded, Sehee slowly pulled away from him.
“Sorry for screaming. I just kept having these scary thoughts. But now I feel reassured, thanks to you.”
Wiping her slightly wet eyes, Sehee smiled faintly.
Her attempt to smile through her discomfort somehow made Kyle uneasy.
“I’ve been scared from the beginning. I hate being trapped in dark, small spaces like this.”
As a child, Sehee often found herself locked alone in a small, musty room at the orphanage whenever she did something wrong.
Trapped in that cramped space with the pungent smell, she couldn’t leave until the darkness deepened.
Perhaps that’s why she feared and detested dark, small spaces like this.
And to be in a hatch with a floodgate, no less.
For Sehee, who couldn’t swim, it was a nightmarish space.
But at least for today, she felt she could endure her fear of this space a bit more.
She had thought that his sharp gaze might make her feel even colder, but instead, she felt a warm comfort from his hand that had wrapped around her shoulder.
A refreshing scent emanated pleasantly from him, being so close.
Despite it being a faint fragrance, Sehee felt dizzy as if she were intoxicated.
Kyle realized another fact he had misunderstood.
When they first got trapped, Sehee’s mention of the “bad side” might not have been about him, but perhaps about the space itself.
“Last but not least, there’s one more piece of good news. The patrol will arrive in five minutes.”
Feeling sorry for misunderstanding Sehee’s fear, Kyle spoke in a soft voice, trying to reassure her, smiling at her for the first time.
After checking all the CCTV, neither the passenger from room 1305 nor Kyle could be found.
“Damn it.”
Marcus cursed in frustration.
“Where do we even begin to look?”
“We last saw both of them at the cocktail party, so we should start checking around there again.”
Sitting beside him, Dave also sighed heavily.
“Worryingly, he suggested checking the monitors again.
“No. We need to search the sea right now. We should immediately request help from the main office to get a quick response from the Greek navy.”
Marcus spoke decisively as if he had already made up his mind.
“Contacting the main office is a decision for the CEO to make. Please wait a moment.”
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.
