“The employees have just arrived in the third country and checked into the hotel.”
“Ah… now it feels like I can live.”
A period was placed on the hardships of the past few days. Fatigue was deeply etched on the face of the team leader, who had led us with strong leadership.
“Well done, Team Leader.”
As I greeted the team leader, who was deeply settled in his chair, he suddenly rose to his feet with a smile.
“Alright! It’s not over yet. Let’s give it our all until our employees can safely return to Korea.”
And so, the fire beneath our feet subsided. Only then did Researcher Jeong Chan-hyeong remember he was hungry.
“I do have to buy something to eat…”
The help from Researcher Jeong Chan-hyeong was significant. Treating him to a meal wasn’t a waste. Although I wanted to treat him to a full course with coffee, something bothered me slightly.
Words I never thought would apply to my life: ‘Scandal’ and ‘Vixen’ were associated with him. I wondered if I should treat him far away from the office, but questioned if that was necessary.
After the matter was fully resolved, I sent a message to Researcher Jeong Chan-hyeong.
[Hello. Thanks to you, our employees have safely returned to Korea. I would like to keep my promise to treat you to a meal. When would be a good time?]After sending the text, I tried to focus on my work when another message arrived instantly.
“Does he keep his phone on him all the time? The response came so quickly?”
I checked the message on my phone.
[Did everything get sorted out?]The text was from my boyfriend Ji Seo Joon, not from Jeong Chan-hyeong. Recently, due to work explosions, we hadn’t been able to communicate well.
[Yes. The employees safely returned to Korea early this morning. Finally, I can breathe a bit.]As I texted Ji Seo Joon, I happened to catch my reflection in a small mirror on my desk. The corners of my lips were upturned without me realizing.
Am I that happy, Moon Da Yul?
I forcibly pushed down my upturned lips with my finger. But my lips crept up again. They had no intention of coming down at Ji Seo Joon’s suggestion to meet in the evening.
It seemed I missed Ji Seo Joon more than I realized.
[I’ll be at the officetel after work.]Still smiling, I texted my boyfriend and then quickly glanced at my phone while typing on my keyboard.
‘Ding dong.’
The alert for a new text message rang. Eagerly, I checked it.
[When is Deputy Moon Da Yul free?]The message was from Researcher Jeong Chan-hyeong.
It’s best to settle this as quickly as possible, right? Feeling like I owed him, I set an early lunch appointment with Researcher Jeong Chan-hyeong. The sooner a debt is cleared, the better.
After setting the appointment, I quickly checked if I had neglected any previous tasks while on emergency mode.
And so, when I finally caught up on overdue work, it was already time to leave.
“Alright. Everyone go home early and rest today.”
“Yes!”
At the team leader’s welcoming words, our team members responded robustly. Pleased, the team leader nodded twice and quickly started packing.
“It’s better for everyone if the team leader leaves early, right?”
Of course. Team Leader.
When I gave a thumbs-up, the team leader winked, said well done to each team member, and quickly left the office.
“She’s my role model.”
When I spoke to In-ha, who was packing next to me, she looked around like a meerkat and whispered to me in a very soft voice.
“I feel the same… But I still want to get married.”
Mr. Baek In Ha, my subordinate, was babbling about his intensely personal matters. I pondered what to do with Baek In Ha, who resembled a naive younger sister, and eventually burst into laughter.
“Marriage is an option.”
“I know….”
She quickly grasped the underlying meaning of my words and answered, her spirit slightly dampened.
Leaving the office, I slipped into the cardigan I’d brought due to the increasingly chilly evening air. I joined the stream of office workers hurrying home with quick strides.
Beep, beep, beep, beep.
Upon entering my familiar password, as always, I was greeted by Ji Seo Joon’s pristine apartment.
“Ah. I’m exhausted.”
The first thing I did was pop open a can of beer I’d picked up at a convenience store on my way home and took a sip.
“This is happiness.”
I placed the beer can on the table, threw my head back, picked up the can again, and sank deeply into the sofa.
“Heaven would be just a TV away.”
I grimaced, regretting my taste buds. Should I buy a TV when I get my bonus? Would Ji Seo Joon object? If I just buy one, he’ll have to give in.
As I pondered where best to place a TV, I heard Ji Seo Joon enter.
I put down the beer can and rushed to the entrance.
“You’re back?”
If my behind had a tail, it would have been wagging like a motor. Ji Seo Joon looked at me, grinned, and patted my head.
“You’re early.”
“Yep.”
Neat-freak Ji Seo Joon went straight to the bathroom to wash his hands. When he returned and saw the beer in my hand, he frowned.
“On an empty stomach?”
“I felt like I’d die if I didn’t drink it right now.”
“Should I make you something?”
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.
