“Open your eyes.”
As his warm breath receded, Hyo Jin, who had touched her now-cooler neck with her hand, looked down at her two eyes.
“Do you like it?”
A warm smile settled on Gyo Hwan’s lips as he gazed at Hyo Jin wearing the necklace.
“I wanted to get a couple ring, but I was worried that Yul might catch on.”
The white gold pendant, adorned with a diamond the size of a water droplet, bore their initials and the date they started dating.
“Wow. It’s truly touching.”
“It’s beautiful. Even in my eyes.”
As he pulled her hand that was wrapped around his neck, he gently kissed her lower lip.
The sensation of gently brushing against the tip of the nose and delving deep, only to retreat, was soft yet intense.
“Phew, finally, it’s this weekend.”

Hyo Jin let her lips part, her chest swelled, and her heart raced.
Her first date with Seung Yul, with her father’s approval.
The next day, after school.
“Teacher, I think I really like you. Will you accept my feelings?”
Seung Yul, who was waiting for Hyo Jin at the fountain, shyly sent a heart sign with his fingers on his cheeks.
“Seung Yul, What’s up??”
[Seung Yul, what’s going on?]A passing native English-speaking male teacher suddenly got hit by Seung Yul’s thrown heart sign, and Seung Yul nearly fainted.
“Oh, No, Thanks.”
Seung Yul, flustered, brushed off his startled heart.
Whew, I’m relieved. Fortunately, Kevin is a foreigner, so he couldn’t understand.

I almost let my precious feelings be exposed to someone else before confessing to the teacher.
If I confess like this, the teacher will probably ask me to go to the UK with her, right?
Dad said the teacher should get married because she’s still single, but didn’t the teacher say she doesn’t have anyone she’s dating?
She lied because she didn’t want to reveal it.
When we come back from the UK, I’ll be an adult, so I can marry the teacher.
With the love and the marriage the teacher made for us.
Even though the teacher is older than me, I have no choice but to marry her to not break up.
“Seung Yul, get in.”
Seung Yul, who had driven home with Hyo Jin, practiced the piano.
“Wow, Seung Yul. It’s really amazing. I think this music would be perfect when it plays at the bride’s entrance during the wedding.”
“Really?”

Unconsciously, Seung Yul blushed as he thought of the image of the teacher in a white wedding dress, prompted by Hyo Jin’s words.
If we go on a weekend outing and I play this piano, the teacher will like it too, right?
Finally, on the D-day morning.
“Teacher~!”
Seung Yul, with a baseball cap and a backpack, came running in a playful manner and suddenly stopped.
Wasn’t it Dad getting off from the driver’s seat, who I thought was the chauffeur?
“Wow. Is Dad coming with us too?”
I thought it would be just the teacher and me.
“Dad wants to join too because he wants to have fun. Why? Don’t you want to go with Dad?”
Dad, who always wore a suit with a tie and dress shoes, was now dressed in a beige jacket and white sneakers.
“Is it because of the teacher again?”

With a resigned expression, Seung Yul warned Hyo Jin as he blocked her with his arms and opened the car door.
“If you get upset with the teacher again, I won’t just stand by.”
My girl is protected by me!
“Oh, alright, I got it.”
Gyo Hwan responded as if he had no special concerns, closed the car door with a thud, and drove off.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
