If I could turn back time, I would have never come here. Regret is futile now; it’s already too late.
“I know how you feel about me.”
At Sajoon’s slow yet firm voice, Taehi wanted to scream out loud.
My last shred of pride, fiercely guarded for 13 years!
To be honest, it was embarrassing and humiliating.
Falling into the trap Sajoon set, unable to confess first and having my feelings exposed.
But, there was still a chance.
Now that it’s come to this, instead of denying it, it seemed better to coolly admit that yes, I do like you.
Already caught, better to be bold than to cringe in embarrassment.
Taking off her now unnecessary sunglasses, Taehi looked straight at Sajoon.
“Then tell me, what do you think my feelings are?”
If Sajoon says ‘You like me,’ I planned to calmly admit it.
Admitting that I like you, and that I can’t be friends with you anymore, that I’ll cleanly leave for France without you, so don’t worry.
Of course, admitting my feelings meant that Sajoon might take advantage of them to suggest a relationship. Arguing why play hard to get when you like me, why isn’t it enough to just have you by my side and simply date, such crazy talk.
How could I stand that?
But to deny my feelings for him in this situation would also be ridiculous.
As Taehi’s silence lengthened, Sajoon spoke.
“You don’t want to have me but also don’t want to give me to anyone else.”
Wait, what does that mean?
Taehi stared at Sajoon.
Expecting a joke, she found no trace of humor or playfulness in his dark eyes.
“Then just keep me. Don’t secretly follow me to blind dates like a thieving cat.”
What is he even saying? Dumbfounded and speechless, Taehi just looked at him.
Anticipating what he would say next.
Sajoon, who briefly glanced toward the window, turned back to Taehi.
“I’m still of great use to you, aren’t I?”
Kang Sajoon was truly an idiot. More than Taehi herself.
Genius and madness are a thin line apart, they say. How could his smart brain not understand?
What woman would go through such embarrassment just because she didn’t want to lose him?
Should I be happy that my feelings are still undetected? Or resent Kang Sajoon for his obliviousness? Taehi was truly in a bittersweet state.
“I’ll let you use me as much as you want, just don’t give me to another woman.”
I think I finally understand why we’ve gotten along well for 13 years without crossing absolute rules.
Both of us are dense and the world’s biggest idiots.
“Kang Sajoon, can you go back to your seat?”
“No.”
“It’s not polite to the woman you met on the blind date. You’re not some bad guy. Please have some basic manners.”
“I’ll only be polite to your mom and only show manners to you, Min Taehi.”
Always with his sharp tongue.
“Kang Sajoon, you know you’re incredibly unlucky, right?”
Despite being called unlucky, Sajoon just smirked with satisfaction.
But maybe because he’s in a black suit today. Why does that annoying smile look so dashing?
Sajoon, seemingly uncomfortable in his rarely worn suit, took off his jacket.
The fit of his snowy white dress shirt was like art. The shirt straining over his chest and arms…
He unbuttoned the cuffs and rolled up the sleeves a few times.
Watching the blue veins running from his hand to his forearm made her heart race again.
While enticingly capturing her gaze, Sajoon casually fiddled with his phone.
That damn phone. Since when did he start looking at his phone so much?
Sajoon’s movement of placing his phone back on the table was excessively slow and relaxed, enough to make Taehi, who was watching, feel like her insides were burning up.
Unable to hold back any longer while glancing towards the restroom, Taehi opened her mouth.
“Kang Sajoon, about the blind date…”
As she spoke, Sajoon interrupted by pressing the call button on the table.
“Min Taehi, you really have a strange personality. Why do you care about a woman I don’t even care about?”
Who’s calling whom weird here?
Taehi was so dumbfounded she couldn’t find words to respond.
In the meantime, Sajoon had ordered a variety of desserts from the menu brought by the approaching staff.
After finishing the order, Sajoon turned back to Taehi.
“That woman probably went home. So, let’s not worry about her and continue our conversation.”
His gaze was loose yet persistent.
Despite being a dense idiot, Sajoon’s eyes were determined today to get an answer about the contract relationship. Taehi sighed softly.
Whether I confess or not, the road with him seems long.
“I need to go to the restroom.”
Especially with today’s Kang Sajoon, unpredictable like a bouncing ball. She needed time to think. Preferably away from Sajoon.
“You should give me your bag before going.”
Even as Taehi glared at him in disbelief, Sajoon kept smiling.
“You’re like a rabbit, Min Taehi. Always so quick to run, Min Bunny.”
Min Bunny, what’s that! Shaking with irritation, Taehi had no choice but to toss her hobo bag to Sajoon.
Meanwhile, Park Seoryeon was still lingering in the restroom.
[Good job, you can head back now.]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.
