Without even getting a chance to ask Sehee to see their sincerity.
Kyle could only silently watch Sehee’s back, unable to correct the fact that should have been corrected from the beginning. The price paid for ignoring the fact was too painful.
The heavy air pressed on Kyle.
It was the worst moment of their life.
Their little bird, which meant so much, was suffering a huge wound and slipping away from their hands.
But now, Kyle knew that if they were to grasp the bird again, it could cause an even greater wound.
Their heart pounded as if it would burst, and emotions surged like a tidal wave, but Kyle knew it was a moment to step back.
As if it were a punishment of condemnation, Kyle stood firm in that spot until the bus carrying Sehee disappeared from view.
Until the plane returned to Korea, Sehee cried so much that their eyes were swollen, and their throat was hoarse.
They couldn’t remember how they came back to Korea.
When they arrived at Incheon International Airport, it was raining.
The pouring rain, as if knowing Sehee’s heart, didn’t stop.
Sehee, boarding the airport bus heading home with a large travel suitcase, seemed as gray as the outside scenery.
In a daze, as if out of their mind, Sehee instinctively came to their studio apartment after getting off the bus.
When they opened the door, a humid air rushed at Sehee.
Pushing the travel suitcase in any way, Sehee just sat down and cried again.
They couldn’t do anything.
They couldn’t think of anything.
From the day Sehee returned to Korea, it rained all day every day, as the summer monsoon began.
The rain, falling steadily all day long, quietly swallowed Sehee’s crying sounds as time passed.
Unable to bear it, Sehee sobbed sadly. They cried until they were tired, fell asleep, and woke up to cry again.
After several days passed like that, on a day they couldn’t remember.
Sehee briefly opened their eyes to the vibration of the cellphone.
Trying to get up to answer the call, Sehee felt dizzy and collapsed.
Regular mechanical sounds faintly echoed.
The smell of disinfectant alcohol stung Sehee’s nose, pulling their mind back into reality.
Struggling to lift their eyelids, a dim light flashed in their blurry vision.
Like a large boulder resting on the body, there was no strength to move even a single finger.
A white ceiling.
An unfamiliar environment.
The bustling movement of people.
Urgent voices.
Where on earth am I?
“This is Assistant Manager. Are you awake? It’s me, Kim Suna. Will you recognize me? This is the emergency room. Emergency room.”
In Sehee’s slowly turning gaze, Suna, who was looking at them worriedly, appeared.
“Assistant Manager? How did this happen?”
With a puzzled expression, Sehee asked.
“Yeah. Will you recognize me? Ha… It’s over now. Do you know how worried I was, thinking you were dying? What’s malnutrition? What the hell did you do? Huh?”
Suna’s grim face represented how much she had worried.
“Ah… Did I call Assistant Manager?”
Sehee still couldn’t assess the situation.
“No. I did. I picked it up, but I heard you saying you were going to die soon. I panicked and rushed over. Fortunately, I knew the entrance passcode. Are you trying to die by yourself? Were you like this for a month? Huh? Because of that guy?”
Suna yelled in a pitiful tone, revealing how much she had worried.
“How sorry I am, how worried I was thinking I was going to die. What’s this about malnutrition? Are you in your right mind?”
In her heartbreaking heart, Suna scolded Sehee as if it were her own business.
“Guardian, the patient needs to stabilize. The test results show no significant issues, so you can transfer to a regular ward now.”
In the end, Suna, who was wearing a blue emergency room gown, heard a word from a nurse and was about to leave.
“Yes… I’m sorry.”
“Guardian, you should go to the billing office for detailed explanations.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
Suna politely replied to the nurse’s chilly words.
“I’ll check the room and come back. Wait here.”
Standing up, Suna said to Sehee.
“Assistant Manager, I don’t want to be hospitalized. I just want to be discharged.”
Sehee grabbed Suna.
“What are you saying? Look at your condition before saying that.”
Suna said as if it absolutely couldn’t be allowed.
“I’m fine. I’ll eat well. I just couldn’t eat anything because I didn’t feel like it.”
“That’s why you should be hospitalized and get some nutrition. You have two more days until you go to work. Rest well during that time, and you’ll be fine. How can you see Cha Hyojun in this condition? Huh? He’s going crazy right now.”
Suna started to get excited again.
“What?”
“Ah… there’s something like that. We’ll talk about it later. For now, let’s take care of Assistant Manager’s body. Okay?”
Suna shook her head as if she didn’t want to think about it.
“It’s really okay. If I get all the intravenous fluids here, I’ll leave. I’ll really eat well.”
“You can’t get by with just rice. You need to become stronger. How can you live in this harsh world when you’re weakening like this? Huh?”
A profound sadness filled Suna’s face.
“I still thought Assistant Manager was a strong person. Even after receiving Cha’s wedding invitation, you went out so confidently. You took vacations. I thought you would become tougher.”
Suna sighed with a pitiful expression as she looked at Sehee.
“Manager. I… It’s not because of Cha Hyojun.”
Sehee quietly spoke.
“What? Now you’re going to faint and be found in this state of heartbreak, and you’re going to try to make excuses?”
Suna asked as if she couldn’t believe it.
“Well, did you meet someone else in the past month? So you’re saying you’ve fallen for someone else again?”
Suna, as if telling her not to say such unreasonable things, reproached her.
“…No. This time, it was me… who fell for someone first.”
Sehee spoke slowly and cautiously.
For a moment, Suna’s mood became bitter.
Suna urgently raised her hand with a serious expression.
“Uh, excuse me. Teacher? Is there a Department of Mental Health here? Please make sure to say yes. Okay?”
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.
