“Where do you feel unwell?”
Despite having just met, his question came so affectionately that I found myself nodding without realizing it.
“Where…? Now that I think about it, you do seem pale.”
Upon hearing that I was unwell, Jeong Chan Hyung, the researcher, quickly adopted a serious expression and looked worried. I could see why he was popular at our company before Ji Seo Joon appeared.
“I think I’ve caught a touch of a cold. Thank you for your concern.”
I took a few recommended medicines from the pharmacist and opened the pharmacy door. Just as I was about to call a taxi, a call came in from Ji Seo Joon.

Where are you?
“I’m about to head home.”
I’m near the company.
“What?”
I’m at the bus stop near the company’s main gate. I’ll head your way.
“I told you not to come.”
Even though I said that, a twinge of joy leaked into my voice.
“Well, then, I’ll wait at the bus stop.”
I ended the call and neatly folded the bag of medicine into my handbag, and headed towards the bus stop with slightly lighter steps.

It was a perfect weather for waiting for someone. Although my body was heavy, my heart was light with excitement. I didn’t have to wait for even five minutes before I saw Ji Seo Joon’s car.

The car glided smoothly and stopped in front of me, and I quickly got into Ji Seo Joon’s car.
“Did you wait long?”
I asked before even closing the door. Ji Seo Joon, who had been watching me buckle my seatbelt, shook his head as he started the car.
“I didn’t wait long.”
Right after the car started, it was stopped by a red light. People were crossing the street as the pedestrian signal lit up.
“Do you feel unwell anywhere?”
As I was watching those people, Ji Seo Joon asked me.
“I am feeling a bit unwell… Do I look sick?”

Researcher Jeong Chan Hyung had also mentioned in the pharmacy that my complexion didn’t look good, so it seemed my face wasn’t holding up very well.

I checked my face in the small mirror attached to the sun visor in front of me. I saw a somewhat sullen look and a reddened face.
“Do you often get sick during this change of seasons? Is that happening now?”
Ji Seo Joon’s large, cool hand gently rested on my forehead.
“You seem to have a fever, don’t you?”
As the traffic signal changed, someone who couldn’t wait for a moment honked their horn. Ji Seo Joon quickly started the car and said,
“I thought you were feeling a bit chilly, it seems like you have a fever.”
Upon hearing my words, he turned on the seat heater in the car, and I stopped him from also turning on the heater.
“It’s not that cold. I’m fine. If you turn on the heater, it’ll feel stuffy.”
Ji Seo Joon, who nodded at my words, had a grim expression.
“If you’re not feeling well, you should finish your work quickly and leave. Why are you pushing yourself so hard until this hour? It’s foolish.”
I laughed at the concern that was apparent in Ji Seo Joon’s words.
“You’re still not feeling too bad, are you? Are you able to laugh? I’m worried to death.”
“Why are you so restless when I’m the one who’s sick?”
Ji Seo Joon, who was fidgeting with my hand on his knee, brought it up to his lips. His lips, which were usually warm, felt cold, indicating that he must have had a considerable fever.
“Did you…did you eat?”
“I had dinner.”
“Then you should take your medicine. Let’s start with the fever reducer.”
I nodded and took out the bag of medicine from my bag, and put a herbal cold remedy and fever reducer in my mouth.
“Uh. Every time I take this herbal remedy, I think about it, can’t they make it taste a little better?”
As I grimaced and shivered, Ji Seo Joon took out a wet tissue and handed it to me.
“Medicine is supposed to taste bitter. Do you want it to be sweet?”
I closed my eyes tightly at Ji Seo Joon’s words that reminded me of a mother’s nagging.
“Can you wake me up when we get home?”
“Alright. Close your eyes.”

With that said, I really fell asleep in no time. It didn’t seem long before Ji Seo Joon woke me up.
“Hmm. What? We’re already here?”
“Yeah. You should get in and rest.”
I didn’t want to get up with my now heavier head, but I thought it would be better to properly wash up and go to bed quickly, as Ji Seo Joon suggested.
“Thanks for today. Be careful going in.”
I rejected Ji Seo Joon’s offer to take me all the way to my front door and got out of the car. Normally, I would send off Ji Seo Joon first and watch until the car’s tail disappeared, but today I didn’t have the strength to do so and turned around first.
“I’m home.”
My mother, who was watching a latenight entertainment program, responded casually and kept her eyes fixed on the TV as I entered.
“Mom, I’m sick.”
“What? Where?”
Only then did my mother, who finally looked at me, widen her eyes, jump up from the sofa, and come over to me.
“Oh my. Aren’t you getting a changeofseason body ache again?”
“Yeah. I guess so.”
“Oh dear, it’s hard on you. Did you go to the hospital?”
“Of course I couldn’t go.”
“I’m not sure if you’re going to suffer all night.”

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.
