Perhaps it was the longest she had rambled in front of Do Jun.
Still, there was no response from Do Jun, so Tae Yeon continued to speak.
“And I just had honey, so my lips are sticky. I want to brush my teeth.”
At the mention of sticky honey lips, Do Jun’s gaze naturally moved to Tae Yeon’s lips. Her plump, red lips were glistening.
‘Honey. It must be sweet.’
He was shocked at his own thought.
‘What am I thinking right now?’
Apparently, the wine they had at the restaurant was to blame.
Do Jun quickly averted his gaze from Tae Yeon’s lips. He stood up from his seat and said to her.
“Go wash and rest.”
((()))((()))((()))
While Do Jun was washing upstairs, Tae Yeon finished her shower in the master bathroom.
Even while applying skin care products, her heart was still beating fast.
“He left without saying when he would touch me. Should I wait?”
The tightly closed door to the master bedroom showed no signs of opening.
After sitting in front of the dressing table for a long time, Tae Yeon checked the time and went out to the living room.
“Do Jun?”
But there was no sign of Do Jun in the darkened living room.
“Is he still washing?”
She glanced at the stairs leading to the second floor, hesitating.
The situation was so amusing that she couldn’t bring herself to go up and speak.
“What should I say? ‘I’ve washed, so you can touch me now?'”
She was speechless at her own words.
And the thought of running into Do Jun just out of the shower felt awkward.
While feeling stuck, Tae Yeon eventually went into the master bedroom first.
“It’s not like he said he would touch me while I’m awake.”
With that thought, Tae Yeon lay down on the bed.
After gazing at the ceiling for a while, she fell asleep.
((()))((()))((()))
At the same time, in the workout room on the second floor.
Do Jun didn’t know when to get off the treadmill.
“Ha…”
Despite his breath hitching in his throat, he kept running.
Yet, the image of Tae Yeon’s red lips kept flickering in front of his eyes.
He ran for a while before pressing the stop button and exhaling heavily.
It was ridiculous. What about her lips?
Do Jun swept his bangs back and sighed deeply.
At first, it was a joke. He was curious whether Tae Yeon’s actions were due to being drunk or intentional.
And the delayed answer to the question she asked at the restaurant. He didn’t see that coming.
“Why the hell.”
He barely resisted the urge to call the restaurant and ask if there was anything else mixed in the wine he drank.
“Right. It’s strange if there’s no reaction when a man and woman live in the same house.”
With that thought, he dismissed it lightly and took a shower.
He should go down to the first floor and go to bed, but strangely, he couldn’t lie down next to Tae Yeon.
“Has she always teased men like this with her innocent face?”
There was a brief thought that the man in the photo might have been played by Tae Yeon in this way too.
When he thought about it, his reason slowly returned.
The priority now was not to be fooled by Tae Yeon’s tricks, but to find out the truth about the photo.
That was the most important thing.
((()))((()))((()))
As work was drawing to a close, Tae Yeon’s mobile phone rang.
She sighed deeply as she checked the caller ID. Just when things seemed a bit quiet.
She moved to the rooftop garden and answered the phone.
“Yes, father.”
Why don’t you answer my calls!
“I’ve been busy.”
“What is it that you do exactly? Are you getting along well with Mr. Cha?”
Could I really say we were getting along? Whether we were or not, she needed to reassure Dong Pil that they were.
“Of course. We even had a date yesterday and I came home late, so I didn’t even know you had called. When I’m with Mr. Do Jun, time just flies by.”
There was no lie in her words. She had indeed spent time with Do Jun.
At the mention of a date, Dong Pil fell silent for a while.
“Dad, why did you call?”
Bring Mr. Cha home this weekend.
Tae Yeon bit her lips hard. When meeting with elders, they had to act even more convincingly as a couple without any problems.
Are you listening? And you must have said hello to Chairman Cha.
“…This weekend seems tough. We have already arranged to meet with Chairman Cha.”
She hadn’t discussed this with Do Jun, but she wanted to postpone meeting with Dong Pil as much as possible.
Dong Pil, who seemed about to nag, surprisingly kept his temper in check when he heard that she was going to meet Chairman Cha.
Well, then. Discuss it with Mr. Cha and arrange an appointment as soon as possible. Always remember, you didn’t get married to have fun and laugh.
As she hung up the phone and let out a deep sigh,
A dark shadow loomed over Tae Yeon’s head. A familiar scent reached her nostrils.
‘Could it be…’
As she lifted her head, Do Jun was staring at her intently.
“Do you also lose track of time when you’re with me?”
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.
