“Well, Teacher Bong keeps rejecting my favors.”
“I know. You lied because you thought I would misunderstand and think you like me, right?”
“…What?”
What does that mean?
Gyo Hwan, who had been avoiding eye contact, raised an eyebrow and met Hyo Jin’s gaze.
“You’re doing well because of Seung Yool, not because you’re interested in me. I know that much too.”
“Oh, yes.”
Gyo Hwan couldn’t deny it or say otherwise, so he simply nodded.
“Dad, thank you. And I’m really sorry.”
“What for?”
While it was understandable to say thank you, why the sudden apology?
“I shouldn’t have developed feelings for you. I was greedy without realizing it. I’m truly sorry.”
“It’s okay.”
Is it really something to apologize for when one person likes another?
“Why did you ask me why I like you?”
“…?”
“I know it may sound corny, but whenever I see you, I can’t help but think of the thorny bird on the rose bush.”
The thorny bird that sings the most beautiful song while dying in pain from being pricked by long, sharp thorns.
“Even though it hurts, you never show it. Whenever I see you, it feels like seeing that bird with thorns embedded. It hurts here, just like that.”
Feeling the pain in her throbbing heart, Hyo Jin bit her lip and smiled.
“So, I wanted to remove the thorns embedded in your heart and make you smile. How dare I have such audacity.”
I’m much younger than you, and I’ve never even raised a child.
“How can someone like me, who has no experience, understand and heal the pain of losing a wife, as you said, Dad?”
It’s just my own selfishness and recklessness.
“So now, I’ll take care of it myself. My feelings towards you. So that you don’t have to worry about me anymore.”
Hyo Jin’s eyes sparkled brightly like spring sunlight as she smiled brightly, accepting it gracefully.
“So, you don’t have to avoid or deceive me like this anymore. I will never misunderstand again.”
As she smiled, lifting her lips in a refreshing manner, another spring breeze blew from her.
Feeling the warmth as if it had melted in that spring breeze, Gyo Hwan reached out his hand and held onto her shoulder tightly as she opened the car door.
“Why?”
Hyo Jin blinked, thinking that she had something to say.
“Spring Teacher said it was an accidental collision between our lips, right?”
Just an accident because our faces were too close.
“But…?”
His deep, dark eyes, reminiscent of the night sea, captured Hyo Jin’s gaze.
Hyo Jin, reflected in those eyes, felt her throat drowning in the depths once again, unable to say anything and lowered her gaze.
Unlike the restless gaze that resembled the waves, his touch on her chin was as delicate as handling something fragile.
“Spring Teacher, a real kiss is like this. Just like this.”
“…!”
With the hand wrapped in a white bandage, Gyo Hwan slowly caressed his lips, gently pulling Hyo Jin’s lower lip between his and entered.
Warm and sweet. Each time he melted their lips, like the surging waves, his scent, which Hyo Jin liked so much, became even stronger.
His arm, not wrapped in bandages, firmly wrapped around Hyo Jin’s waist, melting slowly in the warmth, pulling her into his embrace.
Hyo Jin loosened the strength in her tightly clenched fist and, nestled in his warm embrace, gently closed her eyes.
As Gyo Hwan explored the corners of Hyo Jin’s mouth with his hot lips, he separated his moist lower lip and looked at Hyo Jin with deep eyes.
“Haah…”
Hyo Jin’s mind became dizzy with a sensation that seemed to sway her entire body, not just her mouth. She gently lifted her lowered eyelids and met his gaze, caressing her own slightly parted lips with his pupils.
The eyes, which had been raging like angry waves, suddenly became deep and calm, as if to say, “When did that happen?”
“Now do you understand? What a real kiss is like?”
He chuckled softly and brushed his fingertips against Hyo Jin’s lips, still warm with his touch.
Huh, startled, Hyo Jin let out a sigh and pressed the back of her hand against her wet lips, then opened the opposite car door and got out.
Huh, Gyo Hwan stared at the distant Hyo Jin for a moment, then opened the other door and followed her out.
“Where are you going?”
After kissing so passionately, was it really that bad?
“Oh, it’s the hospital. I think my grandmother is waiting.”
Now, he felt as if he were being pushed away, as if she had seen enough of him, and Gyo Hwan began to feel somewhat repulsive.
“I’ll consider that I’ve repaid my previous mistake with this.”
“What? Mistake?”
She had said that even if she was drunk, there was no woman who would kiss a man she didn’t like.
“…Did you just call it a mistake?”
Hyo Jin looked at Gyo Hwan, who was approaching her like an angry wave, and stepped back, her eyes trembling.
“…If it wasn’t a mistake…?”
With a confused look mingled with turmoil, she looked up at him.
“No way… Are you saying you did it because you liked me?”
Crazy. Even though she said it herself, it was so pathetic that she tightly sealed her lips.
Bong Hyo Jin, wake up. Do you have an axe to grind? You said you wouldn’t misunderstand.
The lingering sensation in her mouth was still so sweet, and the warmth that melted her heart made her chest tingle.
“I’m sorry. I should have confessed first. I kissed you without realizing it.”
Finally realizing that he had missed something important, Gyo Hwan gently pulled Hyo Jin’s wrist, who had taken a step back with a gentle smile.
Huh. In an instant, Hyo Jin found herself trapped in his embrace, and her heart pounded as if it would burst.
“I like you too, Teacher Bong.”
As her soft voice fell from her lips, his heart, touching her cheek, throbbed heavily.
“No, Teacher Bom Hyo Jin. Bom, Teacher…!”
“Yes?”
Hyo Jin pushed his face away from her chest and looked up at him with widened eyes.
“What did you just say?”
“I like you too, Teacher.”
With a soft smile, he brushed Hyo Jin’s hair that fluttered in the wind and rubbed his lower lip against hers before letting go.
Thump. It was loud enough to be heard.
Hyo Jin felt her pounding heartbeats as if he were walking into her heart. Step by step. Step by step.
“I’m sorry. Even though I knew that Teacher Bom liked me, I pretended not to know.”
“…?”
“I didn’t have the courage like Teacher Bong, you know?”
Gyo Hwan was only hesitant at first, but once he made a move, it went much smoother than he had expected.
When they met each other’s warm eyes like spring sunshine, her frozen heart melted, and she felt like new sprouts were budding.
“Above all, Yul likes you a lot, Teacher. I was afraid that Yul would lose you because of me.”
At times, she even wanted her to be the one to stop it, fearing that her heart would break, but in the end, it turned out like this.

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.
