“I’m quite popular with the elderly, aren’t I?”
I’m a graduate of the Army Officer Candidate School, which impressed them in their time. Naturally, they see me as a reliable soninlaw.
“The side dishes were so delicious, so I wondered what the secret was. It turns out they used vegetables they grew in their weekend farm. So I offered to help bury the kimchi jars when it’s time to make kimchi, using the digging skills I used in the military. They were so pleased with that.”
“Why are you bothering me with such useless words when I asked you to take Teacher Bong?”
“Why do we need a kimchi jar? We have kimchi refrigerators these days.”
“Well, a kimchi refrigerator is different from a kimchi jar. Grandmother twisted the intestines herself on the farm and made a delicious rice porridge with the young chicken she raised. She told me to let her know a day in advance, but when would be a good time to take a vacation?”
“Huh, a young chicken?”
The male team leader seemed eager to go and eat it as soon as he got permission.
“You want to finish your work properly and ask for a vacation? You have to manage Yul and Teacher Bong’s bodyguards, and there’s a mountain of things to handle after the broken engagement.”
Talking about vacation to get some young chicken.
“Oh, Hyo Jin sent a message just now.”
Hyo Jin?
Gyo Hwan’s eyebrows raised as he looked at the male team leader checking his cell phone.
“Since when is she called Hyo Jin?”
The male team leader, who was checking the message, suddenly felt a chill and looked around to see if he had opened a window or something.
“Why? Is it wrong to call her that? The CEO calls her Teacher Bong, so I called her Hyo Jin to avoid confusion.”
“Call her the same thing to avoid confusion.”
“What’s the problem?”
It’s not like we’re going to a Chinese restaurant during lunchtime and saying let’s unify jjajangmyeon and jjamppong.
“Even though the situation between North and South Korea is unfortunate, let’s at least unify ourselves. Teacher Bong will forever be Teacher Bong.”
“Why should I be a Marine? I don’t like being called the Republic of Korea Army.”
If you like it so much, just call the CEO Teacher Bong all the time.
The male team leader, who had persistently insisted on calling her Hyo Jin, looked troubled as he checked the message from Hyo Jin.
“CEO, Seung Yul asked if you like honey rice cakes and instant noodles.”
“Honey rice cakes and instant noodles?”
Why all of a sudden?
“But Teacher Bong’s grandmother wants to make them for you, so she asked me to ask the CEO.”
Gyo Hwan lightly furrowed and then relaxed his eyelids.
“But why are you asking me about it? If you want to ask, you should contact me directly. Yul is not the son of the male team leader, but my son. Don’t you think something is wrong?”
The male team leader nodded as if there was reason to it.
“That’s right. By any chance, did you ask the CEO, but didn’t receive a response?”
Is that so?
Taking out his phone, he realized there were no missed calls or messages.
“Did you really not contact the CEO? It’s strange. Why would you contact me when you know the CEO’s contact information? It’s really strange.”
The male team leader unintentionally irritated Gyo Hwan, ruining his mood twice.
“Well, maybe you contacted the male team leader because the CEO was busy.”
As he put down his cell phone, he tried to rationalize and claim victory in his mind.
“I’m busy too.”
Ha, seeing the hesitating male team leader, Gyo Hwan burst into a hollow laugh.
“I’m much busier than the CEO. I have to manage the newly hired bodyguards and handle the aftermath of the CEO’s accident.”
This person?
Seeing his attractive eyebrows deeply furrowed, the male team leader humbly lowered his head as if crossing a line.
“What should I say?”
After a moment of contemplation, Gyo Hwan spoke.
“Please tell her that you like it.”
I also want to taste how skilled her grandmother is.
The next day, in the afternoon.
“Grandma, isn’t our baby adorable?”
“Oh my, she looks so pretty, just like a girl. They say the lotus flower is the most beautiful among flowers. There’s no other flower boy like her.”
Grandma couldn’t take her eyes off the photo of Seung Yul saved on her phone, as if a flower had bloomed before her.
“She’s just like a daughter. So full of aegyo. She completely melts my heart, you know? Seeing her photo makes me want to see her even more. We should go quickly.”
“Why rush? Rest for one more night before going!”
“No, I want to see our baby, so we have to go quickly.”
Hyo Jin blinked her eyes and put her phone in her pocket.
“They marked me as a daughter because the three gods predicted it, but my real mother passed away early, so they changed me to a son. Dad is an illegitimate child and doesn’t have any siblings? We need a son to continue the lineage.”
“Ah, where did you hear such things, Grandma, in this day and age?”
“Well, it happens. Would someone stay celibate after their wife’s death? There must have been women lining up to marry him right after his wife’s death. If he remarries and has another child, that would be enough.”
“Grandma, even when I came to find my sister last time, I looked closely.”
What is this kid trying to say now?
The crane, observing Hyo Jin’s sulky expression, changed the subject.
“They say there’s no one quite like a parasite’s daughter. She’s driving the women crazy, isn’t she?”
“Oh my, what can you do if a goodlooking man has a baby attached to him? By the way, what does the male team leader like?”
Hyo Jin blinked her eyes at Grandma, who was making a crude remark.
“Why the male team leader?”
“Ask him what his favorite side dish is. Grandma will pack it in his lunchbox.”
“Oh, Grandma, why are you saying such things? It’s unnecessary and burdensome.”
“Well, from the beginning, were we ever close to being just acquaintances?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
The crane interjected with a cheer.
“They say it’s a family of military background for generations.”
“Oh really? Then he must be a government official? No wonder he looks so reliable.”
Grandma’s smile grew even more satisfied with a stable job.
“No girlfriend?”
“How would I know?”
Before I could reply, the crane made a remark.
“They say he doesn’t have one?”
“Hey, when did you ask about that?”
“Great. Your sister is a perfect match for him.”
Madam Yang Soonhye was convinced.
“Come early today, have dinner, and then leave.”
“Why? Why does Grandma keep feeding me?”
I have no connection with the male team leader whatsoever.
“Oh my, stop complaining. Put in the call quickly. It’s too burdensome to carry the honey rice cake and medicine soup alone. How much I love excuses.”
“I’m Attorney Kim Juhyung, and I have some questions regarding the compensation for the 3rd generation new city land dispute against the local government.”
“I understand. Please connect me.”
Ring. As Gyo Hwan reported and was about to leave, the male team leader took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
“Who is it?”
“Oh, yes. Hyo Jin…!”
Feeling the chill as if the window was left open again, the male team leader quickly corrected himself.
“It’s Teacher Bong.”
Teacher Bong? How annoying.
“What’s the matter this time?”
“Oh, it’s nothing special. Grandma wants to share the honey rice cake and medicine soup with the employees she works with. She says they’re too heavy to carry alone and asks for help.”
“Why are you asking the male team leader for help with that?”
I’m right here.
“Well, the boss is busy, and I’m young and strong.”
“Oh, so I’m old and weak, is that what you’re saying?”
“Did I do something wrong again?”
Representative. This is Attorney Kim Juhyung.
Gyo Hwan picked up the receiver when he saw the lamp on the secretary’s connected phone blinking.
“Please go ahead.”
Just how many honey rice cakes did she make, anyway.

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.
