“Crazy Hantae.”
Hantae’s words turned my mind upside down. My breathing quickened, and sweat began to form in my hands. A chill ran down my spine, and my throat stiffened.
“I almost got caught spreading rumors in the middle.”
“It’s subtly tiny.”
“Huh!”
Yuna, who laughed at Hantae’s words, twirled the cup with whiskey in it. Then, she whispered to Hantae as if telling a secret.
“Is there no way to break up the two of them?”
These guys!
I jumped up from my seat. The kind waiter, who was about to bring me a beer, stopped in surprise.
“Gu-guest?”
The kind waiter’s voice was louder than I expected. People around me, including Hantae and Yuna, looked at me.
“Mu-Munda-yul?”
The two of them seemed quite confused. Hantae, looking at me with the same expression as usual, called my name to confirm if the person he saw was really me. Yuna just blinked her eyes and looked at me without saying anything.
“What are you two doing?”
Yuna, looking flustered at my voice, tried to understand the situation. But Hantae, momentarily bewildered, returned to his usual expression and stared at me intently.
“Long time no see?”
“Long time?”
“Don’t tell me you guys were tailing us?”
“Don’t twist the words. What’s the trick between you two right now?”
“Trick? Your words are too harsh.”
She tilted her head slowly with a sluggish movement. Then, looking at Yuna, who was confused next to her, she smiled brightly.
“Shall we stop our drinking session here? Shall I go first?”
“Yes? Oh, right.”
Yuna, at Hantae’s words, awkwardly lifted her bag to leave. I grabbed her arm.
“Where are you going?”
“Le-let go of me!”
As I held her arm, she jerked back in surprise, slapping my arm roughly. At that moment, her well-groomed red nails scratched my back.
“Now, are you planning to go somewhere after making a fuss with Hantae?”
“Guest, please don’t do this here. I don’t know what’s going on, but please calm down first…”
I tried to hold her hand that had scratched me, but as the atmosphere became tense, the staff started intervening. In the meantime, Hantae came closer and held me.
“Yuna, go quickly.”
“Hey, let go!”
For a moment, Jiseo-jun’s words came to mind. Hantae is also a man. He said it would be difficult to resist if he uses his strength with determination.
With a strong force, I glared at Hantae, who was holding my arm as if he were going to kill me. Seeing me like that, Hantae smiled slyly and apologized to the staff.
“I’m sorry. There’s a misunderstanding. Please settle the bill. We’ll leave now.”
Only then did the relieved staff hurriedly take Hantae’s card and settle the bill. When the staff took the card, Hantae pulled me outside.
“Let go of this.”
“Can’t you leave quietly?”
People passing by glanced at me and Hantae, but it seemed like no one had any intention of stopping us. It was a small neighborhood park behind a quiet alley. Hantae released the grip on my arm that he had been holding.
“Even back in middle school, he has incredible strength.”
Hantae, who was teasingly turning my wrist that he had been holding, faced my intense gaze with a playful attitude.
“What’s going on between you and Yuna?”
“What’s going on? We’re just acquaintances, as you saw. Nothing more.”
“Just acquaintances?”
“Yeah. If I had to add something, it would be Cupid of love, maybe?”
“Are you joking with me right now?”
Hantae, exhaling loudly at my words, pressed his fingers firmly against his eye area.
“Am I joking about what kind of relationship I have with you? Huh?”
The chatty Hantae suddenly changed his expression, lowering his voice.
“I happened to get to know Yuna, and then I found out that Yuna works at the same company as Jiseojun. She said she likes him, so I thought I’d help. Is that wrong?”
“Then, what about the things I heard? Rumors?”
“Ah… that? Well…”
Smiling again and looking down at me, he shrugged as if to say it was nothing.
“I just gave some advice; Yuna might have caused that on her own. I only found out recently.”
Watching Hantae shift the blame to the absent Yuna, I ground my teeth.
“Oh, should I loosen my fist a bit? Why? Do you want me to give you a punch like in middle school?”
I glared at his clenched fist, and in a fit of pique, I brought my cheek against his fist. The sight reminded me of a day in middle school.
“Who’s this guy, Hantae?”
As soon as school ended, I ran to the school where Jiseojun was attending.
I might get scolded tomorrow for running away without doing the cleaning, but that wasn’t an important issue right now. Throughout the bus ride, I had been clenching my fist so tightly that nail marks were deeply engraved in my palm.
“Hantae?”
“Yeah. 1st grade, class 3… Hantae.”
Someone approached me and pointed somewhere with their finger.
“If it’s Hantae, he should be in the gym now. They’re having a basketball match there.”
I thanked the unnamed child and headed towards what looked like the gym.
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.
