Everything from that time was still vivid.
The pitch-black night sky, the soft and pliable body in his arms, the touch of the skin against his, the scent that deeply permeated through his nose, the fine strands of hair tickling his face, the long eyelashes that brushed down, the hazel eyes weary from drowsiness.
Just recalling Min Taehee made his chest boil.
Resentment, hatred—they were nothing more than other faces of love.
“Taehee.”
His dazed mind suddenly cleared, and a poignant realization struck his brain.
Even so, I can’t let you go. Despite being dumped, I still love you, and I will continue to love you.
[Keeping my feelings tightly hidden and not expressing them, that’s why I was always the one to do things first.
I knew you before that jerk Song Jehyun and fell in love with you first.
I was confident that the depth and intensity of love were incomparably deeper and more profound than with Song Jehyun.
Even if I starve to death, even if the Earth is about to end, my choice will always be you.
I had no reason to take you away, and it was insanely unfair to lose you like this.
So, I must find you again. Because your place is by my side.
But what if Min Taehee is happily living away from me now?
As thoughts flowed to that point, Jun let out a deep sigh.
“Well, that’s not good.”
If that’s the case, I really should let you go.
“Why did you suddenly call him home? What did you talk about?”
After enjoying shopping for the first time in a while and returning home late at night, Okhee confronted Seontae without reservation.
It was not Seontae who informed her that Taehee had come to her house but a lady living next door.
Although she smiled brightly as if she knew, her insides were already overturned.
But the man’s behavior was very absurd. Avoiding eye contact, dodging answers.
“Hey!”
When Okhee shouted, Seontae frowned with arrogance.
“He came because he’s sorry for disappointing you by breaking up with me, got it?”
“Broke up? What about our building?”
Seontae snorted.
“Speak directly, Okhee. It’s not our building; it’s my building. It’s a shame that the building flew away, though.”
Seontae she knew would never take this lightly.
But looking at her expression so relaxed and composed, it was clear that she had persuaded her in another way.
So, even if she had slapped her cheeks a few times, Min Taehee, who was probably fine, would have walked away.
In her anxiety, Okhee, who lost her reason, pressed Seontae as if interrogating her.
“So, what will Taehee do? Is that fox-like girl saying something? Why are you so leisurely? No, what about that girl? Will she keep staying in Ilsan? Will she continue to contact and date you like now? Do I have to endure that sight again? Tell me what the hell you’re thinking!”
Seontae rolled her eyes, standing up abruptly from the sofa.
“When this woman says look, where does she think she’s going with her sky-like husband? I don’t want to come into this house these days!”
“Have you finished talking now?”
“Yeah, I’ve said it all, what are you going to do!”
It was clear where Min Seontae was headed after going outside.
Whether she went to that always quiet, modest, and stubborn woman to be treated like a queen.
The gleam in Okhee’s red eyes, fists clenched, showed madness.
“Min Seontae, you’re the one preserving this place because of me. Am I going to die alone like this? I won’t die alone, absolutely.”
In the middle of the living room, there were two people watching Okhee trembling from outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
“Oh, my, she’s making quite a scene, isn’t she?”
“That’s true.”
The person speaking was a lady living next to Okhee, and the one responding calmly was Taehee.
Standing in the lady’s garden, Min Seontae’s living room looked slanted.
“If that woman comes in, please let me know that I visited. I came in a good mood and left in a good mood.”
Thanks to Hyesuk, a lady who has become close to Taehee lately, she willingly agreed to Taehee’s request. Thanks to her, Taehee witnessed the fights between Seontae and his wife with her own eyes.
Although the closed door prevented the voices from being heard, their expressions, gestures, and atmosphere were more than enough.
Min Seontae was shaking so much, breaking down to the point of trembling just because he raised his voice a little. How would my mother have been, my mother, if she had heard it?
It was the beginning. Fighting more with Min Seontae, showing each other unbearable appearances, and tearing their hearts apart.
“Thank you, aunt.”
“Thanks. Let me know anytime. Are your mom and I on good terms?”
Even though the lady, who wasn’t a trustworthy person, said it wasn’t an ordinary relationship, Taehee, who greeted her with gratitude for the help, headed to her car.
“Manager, let’s go eat cool patbingsu instead of lunch. You said your taste hasn’t been good lately.”
After going back and forth to Ilsan after work yesterday and having consecutive meetings since the morning, Taehee was now exhausted.
“Let’s eat next time; I’m too tired today. Sorry, Manager Kang.”
Politely refusing not to feel bad, Manager Kang was persistent today.
“Especially in times like this, you should eat better. You look listless because you don’t eat. There are plenty of good bread and famous macarons at the dessert cafe. It’s about company strength, not physical strength, you know? Let’s go, Manager. Shall we?”
Manager Kang’s words insisting that you should eat better in times like this struck deep into Taehee’s heart.
Not eating because of the selfish reason that she had no appetite and it was bothersome as she was pregnant was a selfish act.
Even if I starve, we can’t starve as a company.
Since suspecting pregnancy, I haven’t slept well from yesterday until now.
Although she couldn’t sleep as she pleased, she could eat forcibly, so let’s go eat.
Feeling sorry for the baby in her belly, Taehee reluctantly got up.
“Sure. Let’s go eat.”
When they came out of the main office, the blazing noon sunlight stabbed sharply into their eyes.
Feeling a bit dizzy, Taehee stopped for a moment, swallowing dry saliva, and slowly closed and opened her eyes.
“Look, these days, you’re not eating well, so you must be tired.”
Manager Kang, who saw that, smiled and naturally put her arm around her.
Did we used to be this close? That thought crossed her mind for a moment, but she neatly folded it away.
It felt a bit awkward to put an arm around each other since it was the first time, but she didn’t dislike it.
“But is it crowded there because of the weather?”
In extreme heat, people seek something refreshing.
Some wage wars in restaurants like Manager Kang and herself, while others opt for desserts instead of meals.
“We have a seat, so don’t worry about that. I guarantee it!”
Could they be on familiar terms with the cafe owner, or why else would she boast so loudly?
In the overly positive mindset of Manager Kang, Taehee eventually burst into laughter.
That’s probably why people find Manager Kang easygoing and likable.
It had a disarmingly bright charm.
As Taehee expected, the three-story cafe building was bustling from the entrance.
How could anyone know about such a place?
However, Manager Kang walked into the cafe without hesitation, going all the way to the third floor without even placing an order.
If the first and second floors were table seats, the third floor consisted entirely of private rooms.
Even though it was covered with curtains instead of doors.
Manager Kang walked confidently and gestured at the last room.
“Manager, over here!”
So, they even take reservations.
Taehee, thinking it was a somewhat unusual place, walked without much thought and froze in front of the room.
There was a man already seated.
Slowly raising his jet-black eyes, he stared intently at Taehee, and a low, deep voice echoed in her ears.
“Long time no see, Min Taehee.”
It was Sajun.
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]

2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
