Impure Wedding Night (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 13
Ye Rin had no choice but to lead Lee Hyun up the stairs toward her own home.
Unfortunately, her place was right at the very top, and Lee Hyun’s brow furrowed slightly as they climbed.
“There are quite a few stairs, aren’t there? I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine. It’s not Secretary Han’s fault.”
After climbing for a while, the two finally arrived at Ye Rin’s rooftop villa.
“My place is pretty cramped.”
“It’s alright—just go ahead and open the door, Secretary Han.”
Ye Rin entered the password into the door lock and stepped inside first.
She felt embarrassed letting Lee Hyun see her tiny apartment, but there was nothing she could do about it.
“The bathroom’s right here—just a sec.”
Ye Rin grabbed Lee Hyun’s sleeve as he was about to step inside.
She tapped her phone a few times and played a currently popular hit song.
“What’s this for?”
“My place doesn’t have good sound insulation. The music’s loud enough that no one outside will hear anything, so please don’t worry and just go in.”
Lee Hyun chuckled as if amused, then ducked slightly and entered the bathroom.
She hadn’t noticed it before, but now that Lee Hyun was standing there, the ceiling seemed rather low.
Click—the door locked shut.
Ye Rin walked to the kitchen, the farthest spot from the bathroom.
Feeling awkward just standing around, she absentmindedly turned on the kettle to boil water.
Soon afterward, she heard the sound of running tap water as Lee Hyun washed his hands.
“This feels… weird.”
Just having Lee Hyun in her home made her mood oddly unsettled.
Naturally, memories of that night came flooding back—
Lee Hyun’s gentle whisper in her ear as he wrapped his arms around her waist…
Clang—
Right on cue, as if to interrupt her impure thoughts, the kettle whistled loudly.
“I’ve lost it—what am I even doing?”
Lee Hyun still hadn’t fully moved past the aftermath of that night, so she at least needed to stay sane.
Just then—
A familiar deep voice suddenly poured out from behind her.
“What’s wrong, Secretary Han?”
“Huh?”
How long had he been listening?
Ye Rin’s dark brown eyes, filled with fear, trembled slightly.
“You seemed to be muttering something to yourself.”
“Oh, I was just thinking about tomorrow’s tasks.”
At Ye Rin’s words, the corners of Lee Hyun’s lips curved upward playfully.
“You’re quite diligent, Secretary Han.”
“Thank you.”
Technically, she should’ve sent Lee Hyun on his way now that his business here was done.
But strangely, she didn’t want to.
Maybe it was that uniquely Korean sense of “jeong”—and also…
Lee Hyun eyed the steaming kettle behind Ye Rin with a puzzled look.
“Why’d you boil water?”
“Huh?”
Startled, Ye Rin babbled incoherently.
“I just—I didn’t even realize I was doing it…”
She then covered her mouth with one hand and laughed, realizing how ridiculous she sounded even to herself.
“Director, would you like a cup of tea before you go?”
At Ye Rin’s offer, Lee Hyun’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Ye Rin quickly waved her hands and added hastily,
“I’m absolutely not trying to seduce you! It’s just that I got to enjoy such a delicious dinner from you earlier, so…”
“I don’t mind.”
“Huh?”
“Actually… I’m not sure if it’s okay for me to accept tea from you, Secretary Han.”
“Is this because of the promise you made to me before coming over?”
Lee Hyun leaned slightly against the fridge and gave a single nod.
Even though her home was tiny and unremarkable, Lee Hyun’s presence made it look like a magazine photoshoot set.
“I promised I’d leave immediately after using the bathroom, so having tea here might count as breaking that promise.”
“No, I was the one who offered the tea first.”
“I see. Then I’ll sit quietly and wait.”
Lee Hyun walked over to the dining table and pulled out a chair.
Ye Rin busily opened the cupboard door.
“Why did I put it all the way back there?”
She didn’t spend much time at home, and no one ever visited.
Only now did she remember placing the green tea bags at the very top during a recent cleaning spree.
“Hmph.”
She stood on her tiptoes and stretched out her hand.
The box of green tea bags sat just barely out of reach.
“If I could just reach a little farther…”
The problem was, she pushed too hard in her eagerness.
As if teasing her, the box slipped even deeper inside.
“Ugh, seriously.”
Ye Rin had no choice but to stand even higher on her tiptoes.
Again and again, the box hovered just beyond her grasp.
That’s when—
“……”
She felt an all-too-familiar warmth behind her and whipped her head around.
She was even more startled than before.
Lee Hyun’s face was right there—extremely close.
Without realizing it, Ye Rin found herself staring at him, entranced.
Her heart pounded wildly, as if it had lost control of its own rhythm.
It felt so loud she worried Lee Hyun might hear it too.
Yet she couldn’t tear her eyes away from his face.
His finely chiseled features were more than enough to captivate her—
thick eyebrows, deep black eyes that hid his thoughts, a straight, prominent nose, and sensual lips.
Ye Rin unconsciously swallowed hard.
Finally pulling her gaze away from his face, she looked downward.
Apparently, it was warm in her apartment—Lee Hyun had already taken off his tie.
He’d also undone the top two buttons of his shirt, revealing a glimpse of his bare skin.
‘Seriously, everything about him is attractive—it’s a disaster.’
Her thoughts were interrupted by Lee Hyun’s low voice right by her ear.
“Done admiring me yet?”
“Huh?”
“I’m not sure how long I should keep waiting.”
Only then did Ye Rin snap out of it and shoved Lee Hyun away with both hands.
For just an instant, her palms brushed against his firm chest muscles.
Her face instantly flushed crimson.
Lee Hyun stepped back—and bumped softly against the fridge.
“Oh gosh, I’m so sorry, Director.”
Lee Hyun chuckled to himself, clearly amused.
“I guess you really do hate me that much.”
“No, it’s not like that.”
“Still, a bit excessive to resort to violence, don’t you think?”
Rubbing his back where he’d hit the fridge, Lee Hyun handed her the box.
“I was genuinely just trying to help you, Secretary Han.”
“I know.”
In fact, it was she who hadn’t been thinking pure thoughts.
Ye Rin spun around, dropped two green tea bags into a cup she’d prepared, poured hot water over them, and then walked over to the table.
Embarrassed for no reason, she took a sip—but it was too hot, so she quickly pulled her lips away.
“Are you okay?”
“Haah… Yeah, it’s really hot, so please take it slow, Director.”
“Can I take that as you wanting me to stay here longer?”
“……”
“Just kidding. It’s a joke.”
His “joke” sounded suspiciously sincere, leaving Ye Rin utterly flustered.
Actually, there was nothing wrong with what he’d said.
She was just frustrated with herself for being so overly conscious of him.
The tea was so hot it made her cheeks flush red again.
This time, it truly was just because of the hot tea—
But she couldn’t stop thinking about the brief, solid warmth of Lee Hyun’s body from earlier, which only made her more confused.
To break the mounting tension, Lee Hyun spoke up.
“It’s hard to get a cup of tea at Secretary Han’s place.”
“I know, right? Sorry—I don’t get visitors, so I stored the green tea bags way up high.”
For some reason, upon hearing that, the corners of Lee Hyun’s lips curved upward playfully again.
“Did the boyfriend you met before never come over either?”
“No, of course not.”
Ye Rin set down her tea cup and added pointedly,
“It’s such an obvious question—I had to clarify. How could I possibly bring a man into my home? I’m not that kind of woman.”
Once again, Lee Hyun’s lips twitched involuntarily.
“So, according to you, Secretary Han, I’m the first man ever in this house?”
“Oh…”
Now that she thought about it, that was technically true.
But since she hadn’t intentionally invited him, Ye Rin quickly corrected herself.
“I didn’t invite you as a man. Strictly speaking, I just helped out my boss who was in an awkward situation.”
“So, I’m the first male superior to come into your home?”
Lee Hyun really liked getting things absolutely clear.
Though she hadn’t worked with him long, she’d already noticed he preferred verifying facts firsthand—
Thinking this was just another example of that, Ye Rin answered his repeated question honestly.
“If we’re being strict about it… yes.”
“But is it okay to let a male superior into your home?”
“Huh?”
Lee Hyun set down his tea cup and leaned forward slightly.
“Aren’t you being a bit too defenseless, Secretary Han?”
His gaze as he said this was so intense it nearly made her lose her footing.
Ye Rin forced her trembling voice under control and continued,
“Now that you mention it… yes, maybe I was. You pushed me too hard before I could even make a proper decision.”
Watching Ye Rin calmly speak her mind, Lee Hyun kept smiling.
“Let me be the exception.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Why?”
Lee Hyun propped his chin on one hand.
Then, with even deeper intensity in his eyes, he stared straight at Ye Rin.
“Because we’re going to start dating soon.”
“……”
“Wouldn’t it be a bit ambiguous to just lump me into the category of ‘male superior’?”
“I haven’t decided yet.”
“Oh. Is that so?”
Lee Hyun lazily pulled at the corners of his lips.
“Secretary Han, shall we finish the conversation we started earlier?”
They’d talked so much already that she had no idea which topic he meant to conclude.
And truthfully, even if she did remember, the outcome always seemed to tilt toward whatever Lee Hyun wanted anyway.
“Am I really the first man to come into your home?”
“Yes.”
“I’d like it to stay that way.”
His eyes held such earnest weight as he said this that she almost nodded without thinking.
Barely catching herself, Ye Rin asked,
“Why?”
“Just because.”
Lee Hyun stood up and came to stand right in front of her.
Ye Rin had to tilt her head way back before their eyes finally met.
As if to accommodate her, Lee Hyun slightly bent his waist.
No—this wasn’t consideration at all.
Because he leaned down, the distance between them shrank to almost nothing.
Ye Rin unconsciously gripped her skirt tightly and stopped breathing.
“This is strange, isn’t it? I just want to be Secretary Han’s every ‘first.’”
It was a statement brimming with room for misunderstanding.
Yet Lee Hyun continued without a hint of hesitation in his steady gaze.
“If Secretary Han wants it, I’ll give you my ‘first’ as well.”
“……”
“Is this how people normally feel when they’re in a relationship?”
He spoke as if they were already truly dating.
“I don’t really know myself.”
And for some reason, he kept leaning closer—until the gap between them was barely ten centimeters.
“So, Secretary Han… when will you give me your answer?”
Just as Lee Hyun’s breath was about to graze Ye Rin’s face—
BANG BANG BANG—
Someone pounded on her front door as if trying to break it down.
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.
