Even if Director Park thought about it, the world was too desolate and dangerous to let go of her delicate daughter. However, it wasn’t a job he could guard by her side for a lifetime.
Wouldn’t all parents share the same sentiment?
“I’ve been building strength for myself all this time. To protect what’s mine. To avoid losing what’s mine. But you know, the world doesn’t necessarily run smoothly just because you protect what’s yours.”
“…”
“I know. Taking down Jo Minhyung won’t change the world. But at least, for a few precious people who are like family, I’ll be willingly locking that child within my name.”
Seojin finished speaking and stood up.
Director Park, who had become somewhat emotional, felt something warm welling up in his throat.
“Let’s go, Director Park. To catch Jo Minhyung.”
Jiwon looked at herself in the mirror in the restroom and kept adjusting the hat that seemed to press down deeply, as if she were nervous. Despite wearing a mask, anyone could tell it was Sejiwon.
No matter what she did, she couldn’t conceal herself, and it irritated Jiwon.
The day to file a lawsuit and go to the police station for the first time.
“Today, Jo Minhyung is coming. As a result, the press will be in a frenzy. However, she wanted to hide herself as much as possible from the press.”
Because just thinking about what the internet would say once the article was published was daunting.
“If you’re ready, let’s go.”
At the voice of the bodyguard coming from outside, Jiwon barely left the restroom. Even after getting into the car with guidance, Jiwon felt her chest tightening, and her breathing became rapid as if she were out of breath.
The thought of meeting numerous reporters and Jo Minhyung was panic-inducing.
“Cheongsimhwan, would you like one?”
“Yes, thank you.”
Chewing and swallowing the Cheongsimhwan, she looked out of the window on the way to the police station.
The dazzling sunlight pouring from the clear sky and the gently rustling wind.
Her heart was in hell, yet the world was remarkably beautiful.
She felt a discrepancy. It was like the feeling of sinking deep into the ground, as if she were the only one falling into a different world.
Once the day arrived, the hostility that had risen to the top of her head had turned into fear.
Indeed, would she be able to face Jo Minhyung’s face today? Even though the fault was with Jo Minhyung, not her, she couldn’t understand why everything seemed to shrink like this.
Finally, they arrived in front of the police station.
As the door opened, and Jiwon got out, reporters crowded in, bombarding her with questions.
“Ms. Seojin, it’s said that Jo Minhyung from Maritime Express is your sponsor. Is that true?”
“There are rumors that both of you used drugs together!”
“You were supposed to be long-time lovers. What’s the truth?”
However, there wasn’t a single question she could answer. All the questions were already assuming her guilt, tailored to fit that narrative.
Even though I’m the victim… How loudly do I need to scream for these people to understand?
With her head bowed, Jiwon ascended the stairs.
At that moment, someone shouted.
“Oh! Jo Minhyung is here! Jo Minhyung!”
Instantly, Jiwon froze in place, as if turned into ice. Through the pressed-down hat, she glanced down.
Jo Minhyung was getting out of the car.
Locking his suit buttons and descending, he looked incredibly confident compared to her. He even seemed to enjoy the approaching reporters, smiling as if welcoming them.
Seeing that, Jiwon’s insides twisted.
That day, Minhyung’s wild appearance overlapped, and Jiwon’s fear doubled.
Did he read her mind? Minhyung led the reporters up the stairs, but when Jiwon stopped abruptly right beside him, he also stopped.
Then, he cast a mocking smile at Jiwon, as if saying, “So, this is it.”
“There are quite a lot of reporters outside. Are you okay?”
When Hong Lawyer asked, Minhyung, with his head tightly massaged, let out an annoyed sigh.
“If I knew it would be like this, I would have put in a bit more effort. The pictures need to turn out well.”
“Right now, a neat appearance is the best. We can’t portray an image of having too much fun.”
Even to Lawyer Hong’s words, Minhyung half-listened and half-ignored, attempting to get out of the car. However, Lawyer Hong, for some reason, gave another warning.
“Absolutely, you shouldn’t say anything other than what I’ve approved. Moreover, even in front of the police, you must read my signature. You need to implant an image that you, as a man who truly loved Seojiwon, sacrificed everything for her. Also, for Seojiwon’s comeback, you unconditionally supported her in the drama. And you need to control your quick-tempered nature. If not, it’s over. The lawyers on the other side are quite famous, so it won’t be easy.”
“Alright, I got it. Am I the one who pays you? Why do you keep repeating yourself? It’s annoying.”
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.
