Hee Joon looked at Yerin with his shoulders relaxed.
“I wanted to do volunteer work and skip weekend consultations. I thought it would be better to choose a place where people I know come. So, I chose this place.”
Hee Joon was waiting for an answer from Yerin as if asking for praise for his decision.
Yerin sighed briefly and spoke.
“Well, if you came to volunteer with a pure heart, I hope you have a fruitful day and go back.”
Yerin had no reason to mix further conversations with Hee Joon, so she wanted to quickly end the conversation. However, Hee Joon stuck to her like glue and didn’t let her go.
“Yerin, it seems like I momentarily went crazy and got infatuated with someone like Gwak Seoyun. That was just a mistake.”
“What, a mistake?”
It was absurd to dismiss causing pain to others as a mere mistake.
“Yeah. I got briefly distracted by that fox-like Gwak Seoyun. The one I truly love is you.”
Hee Joon placed his palm on his heart and even displayed a poignant expression.
It was incomprehensible to Yerin, but that was how it appeared to her.
“Oppa, as I mentioned before, I don’t have any lingering feelings for you.”
“Han Yerin, that lie won’t work.”
He was truly an insistent man.
Although she didn’t intend to say this much, she felt that unless she conveyed her intentions more forcefully, she might have to face Hee Joon repeatedly and repeat the same words.
“In fact, I’ve never sincerely felt anything for you while we were dating.”
“What did you say?”
“I asked to date because of circumstances, but that’s all it was.”
This was truly a sworn truth.
Through a blind date, Hee Joon, who Yerin met, persistently courted her and acted like a very affectionate man.
Her feelings didn’t waver, but she thought that things might change as they continued to date.
Unexpectedly, they didn’t date for long before Hee Joon unexpectedly betrayed her with Seoyun.
It was a story she had kept inside to consider the other person’s feelings, but now it seemed unnecessary.
“Han Yerin, what did you just say?”
“Just what I said. We haven’t been together long enough for me to develop feelings.”
Hee Joon stood still, with his mouth hanging open like someone who had been hit on the back of the head.
As Yerin looked at Hee Joon’s wounded face, she also felt somewhat uneasy.
Lowering her head and looking at the ground, Yerin continued speaking.
“So, Oppa, I hope you stop coming to see me now. I hope you meet someone better. That’s my sincere wish.”
She thought he would understand by now, but that was Yerin’s mistake.
“If that’s the case, it’s even better. Let’s get to know each other now, us.”
“Oppa, I’m seeing someone else.”
“Chae Hyun? Hey, you did well.”
Hee Joon swept his hair roughly with one hand, taking another step towards Yerin.
“Yerin, people should meet people. Do you think you and Chae Hyun, Director Chae, are a good match? Seriously?”
No, right? Hee Joon added, opening his mouth.
“As you heard, there’s talk of engagement between Seoyun and Director Chae in the Seoyun and Chae Hyun households. Since Chae Hyun is accompanying Seoyun, you probably know better than anyone.”
“……”
“Now that guy is hanging on to you, saying he likes you, that you’re the only one. But how long do you think that will last?”
His words reminded Yerin of the changes in behavior that Hee Joon had shown me.
“Men say it’s over the moment they lose interest. Of course, I used to think that way, but now I’m bitterly reflecting on it.”
Hee Joon sighed deeply, looking at the silent Yerin.
“In Chae Hyun Director’s household, they’d naturally want to welcome the daughter of the next presidential candidate as their daughter-in-law. Would they want to bring in a daughter from a ruined family like yours?”
His words, scratching her pride, made her heart clench.
Although she already knew the story in her head, hearing it from someone else’s mouth felt different.
“Han Yerin, do you know why that man is meeting you? Because your naivety is refreshing. Just out of curiosity.”
“…….”
“If he loses that curiosity? You’ll be discarded. So, judge well.”
Whether it was advice or an attempt to hurt Yerin, Hee Joon effortlessly spat out words that seemed to flow smoothly.
Yerin, who had been quietly listening to the story, stared straight at Hee Joon with wide-open eyes.
“Even if that happens, it doesn’t matter.”
“What?”
What she just said was truly sincere.
She herself was well aware of the vast gap that existed between Hee Joon and herself within the fake relationship with Ihyun.
“Although I appreciate the advice, even if I break up with Mr. Ihyun, I won’t meet you again.”
“…….”
“So let’s never see each other’s faces like this again.”
Yerin turned away without hesitation, and from behind, Hee Joon’s desperate voice calling her could be heard.
Closing her eyes tightly, Yerin took a step forward.
Was it because she heard the known facts from someone else?
Her mood was truly uneasy.
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.
