To Yongjin, who secretly sighed, Heegu calmly spoke.
“I’ll give you a week to think. Either face me, quietly settle your family, and meet your son, or…”
In fact, Yongjin had already made up his mind a long time ago.
He just hadn’t found a way to approach Sajun yet and was still figuring out how to convey it to his inevitably collapsing wife.
“I exercise because of you.”
Sajun’s words reminded Taehui of a recent incident.
Sajun exercising in the sweet room, on the terrace, the Franco position, suddenly recalling a long-forgotten memory of a similar posture, similar to the recent fleeting thoughts.
But she didn’t expect to hear those words directly from Sajun’s mouth.
She was so surprised that she let out a breath.
Should I believe this or not?
Confusion flooded her mind and chest like a tsunami.
While Taehui was turned upside down, the one who caused the turmoil was as calm as ever.
Taehui, who had swallowed her dry saliva several times, finally uttered only a few words.
“Why?”
“You said you like a man with a good body. You mentioned you would date a muscular foreigner. Wasn’t it like that when we watched the movie?”
Under Sajun’s inquiry, Taehui became as silent as a mute.
She vividly remembered saying such things back then.
However, Sajun, who had looked at her as if he couldn’t understand such statements, also remembered vividly.
“Min Taehui, I didn’t know you were a pervert who fetishizes men’s bodies.”
Those were Sajun’s words.
“Why can’t women show off their bodies? Besides, I guarantee that you, with your dusty self, will never become a pervert, even if you live and die.”
And the response she made in anger at that time.
“I remember saying such things a long time ago. But what I want to say now is, why are you exercising because of that statement?”
Instead of answering, Sajun looked at Taehui with narrowed eyes.
Was he genuinely asking because he didn’t know, or was he pretending not to know even though he knew, to gauge her reaction?
He started exercising the day after watching that movie.
Acknowledging the well-built body of Min Taehui’s ideal, like the muscular Jean in worn-out jeans, was a blow to his pride.
Since Min Taehui had mentioned liking a muscular body at that time, he became obsessed with those words.
He diligently built his body, achieving a body fat percentage of 5%.
After that, as an absurd excuse, whenever he met Min Taehui, he would casually take off his shirt and show off his muscles.
Thinking back now, it was incredibly childish, but at that time, he thought it was the only way to appeal to her.
However, Min Taehui, as indifferent as a stone by the roadside, did not bat an eye. The more she ignored him, the more he became obsessed with exercise.
Even though there was a law of total mass in muscles, and no matter how much he exercised, he couldn’t become a robust, muscular character like the protagonist in the movie.
In the end, Min Taehui had no idea. She was completely unaware of the reason he started exercising and became obsessed.
“I have to appear cool to you for you to meet me.”
With an expression that seemed to have heard something unbearable, Taehui asked again.
“So, are you saying you planned contract dating since then and marked me as the target?”
“…”
“You and my grandfather had a deal that lasted only until I turned thirty?”
Looking at Min Taehui, who was writing novels instead of acknowledging his sincerity, Sajun almost burst into laughter.
Seeing the eyes of Min Taehui looking at him now, it was understandable.
She never thought that just because she didn’t like him, he would like her. Therefore, it stimulated curiosity even more, arousing a spirit of competition, much like thirteen years ago.
At first, it might have been just the arrogant pride of an useless man that he wanted to shake off.
He wanted to dismiss and despise her as a woman who eventually became such because she wavered. But, ironically, he was the one who wavered.
Seeing those eyes that contained nothing but emptiness, he started to harbor a desire to fill them with only himself, without anything else.
As much as I’ve waited for a long time, I plan to gradually fulfill those desires from now on.
“Whatever I do, I’ll do it with you. That’s our destiny. Min Taehui, remember only that.”
“Talking about destiny. If I hadn’t suggested being friends first, we might still be strangers, right?”
Upon Taehui’s words, Sajun thought about it.
Indeed, was it like that? No, it definitely wasn’t.
If she hadn’t approached him, he would have eventually approached her for some insignificant reason.
Thinking back to their first meeting, from the moment Sajun first saw Min Taehui, he felt drawn to her.
Standing in front of the entrance door, calmly observing the moving belongings, unable to read emotions from her eyes and face like himself, emanating a dark energy as if embracing all the unhappiness in the world. That’s the girl who made him feel a strange sense of affinity.
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.
