“Please come to visit us occasionally.”
“I’ll handle it myself.”
Siwoo turned his head abruptly towards the window. It was a thorny response, but Junhwan didn’t erase the smile on his face.
‘He really can’t be honest.’
After proving his strength to Guihun, the pressure from the wolves had decreased compared to before, but there were still Guihun’s eyes and ears around Siwoo.
Siwoo was well aware of that fact. Yet, despite evading them and even performing the ‘manifestation’ that he usually avoided, he chose to stay by Eunha’s side.
Of course, at first, I was just going to see his face and leave. However.
“He says I have talent.”
Eunha lightly smiled as she talked about what happened at the academy. ‘Shin Siwoo’ had a smile I hadn’t seen before.
“I wish it were true.”
I vividly recalled the pitch and tone of the voice murmuring, the expressions, and more.
The diligent appearance in class at the academy. The awkward smile when praised by the instructor. Coming home and brushing his fur all night. And…
“Please take care of Huji.”
Even the moment when he hesitated for a second before rushing towards the gate in front of the academy.
The senior Siwoo looked at was such a person. Someone who willingly reached out to help when there was someone in need right in front of him.
Now, she was dreaming of a different life.
“Then, I’ll be going now. If Hunter-nim requests another photo, I’ll come back then.”
“Wait.”
Suddenly, Siwoo grabbed and stood up Junhwan.
“S-rank summon, wasn’t it tomorrow?”
“Yes? Oh, yes… If it was about that, Chief Choi would have probably handled it well to refuse.”
“I’m going.”
“…Yes?”
As if Junhwan misheard, he blinked his eyes wide. Siwoo, with his gaze fixed on the window, said again.
“I said I’ll go. To the Association.”
“R-really?”
“In return, there’s a condition to pass on.”
Siwoo’s blue eyes glanced at Junhwan.
“Baekrang wants a one-on-one meeting with the head of the association. Separate from other S-ranks.”
So as not to be heard by the wolf’s ears. Siwoo added briefly.
Junhwan had a face that didn’t seem to believe the current situation. It was understandable. Siwoo had visited the Association as Baekrang only once or twice.
“May I ask why you suddenly changed your mind?”
While glancing at Siwoo, Junhwan cautiously asked. Leaning against the window with a gaze through the glass, Siwoo stared absentmindedly at Seoul’s landscape beyond.
‘Is it okay to live as Yura like this?’
After staring out the window for a while, Siwoo slowly rummaged through his pocket.
A small jar of ointment.
“…Just because.”
Holding the ointment in the palm of his hand, Siwoo glanced at Junhwan and said lightly.
“A whim.”
Near the Legion headquarters, a university hospital.
A giant shadow entered the second-floor preparation room. It was Yuhwan in a military uniform.
The top that was more like draped than worn fully exposed his abdomen, and rather than saying it was worn, the thing that stood out more than his firm abs was a diagonal 11-shaped scar.
He glanced through the messy preparation room with a glance. Through piles of documents on the desk, his tired eyes met Rose’s.
“You came? It’s a bit messy here. Just sit there.”
“What about the kid?”
“He’s gradually getting better.”
Rose, tying her hair loosely, stood up from her seat as if suggesting Yuhwan should sit down after clearing the gown that was hanging on the chair.
“Barring any unforeseen issues, he’ll probably wake up within the next few days.”
“Fortunately.”
Yuhwan, who replied briefly, sat down and looked at Rose with a keen gaze.
She hastily tied up her disheveled hair, her complexion pale as if she could collapse any moment. She probably hasn’t slept for the past few days, dealing with all of this.
“Now that the kid’s condition has stabilized, you should take a break too. Maybe you should go to the Association tomorrow.”
In response to Yuhwan’s words, Rose shook her head.
“There’s still work to be done.”
“What if you collapse while doing it—”
“GIA recently visited Korea. You’re already aware of the rumors, right?”
Cutting off Yuhwan’s words, Rose opened a nearby cabinet and took out a bottle of medicine. Then, she poured out capsule-shaped pills onto her palm.
Yuhwan couldn’t tell what it was, but it was probably various supplements and vitamins, he speculated.
“You should know that it’s not just baseless rumors.”
After swiftly putting them in her mouth, Rose, who had emptied a glass of water, looked up at Yuhwan again.
“…It seems they visited the Association Chairman to deliver a prophecy.”
“A prophecy?”
Yuhwan, looking away from Rose’s medicine bottle, asked briefly. His expression became peculiar.
“Yes. It’s also called a revelation. According to them, a giant gate is about to appear on the southern coast.”
Indeed. Was that the reason for this abrupt S-rank summon? Yuhwan, who was lost in thought for a moment, slowly raised his gaze.
“Rose, what do you think?”
That was the most important thing to him.
“Half agree.”
“Half disagree.”
Yuhwan muttered. She sat on a nearby chair, crossed her legs lightly, and punched the air.
“Maybe not just the southern coast. My guess is—”
Rose slowly unfolded her palm.
“Up to five.”
“…!”
Yuhwan’s gaze shook significantly.
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.
