“Yes. Sometimes, I think you are more rational than I am.”
“I had to answer quickly… so I spoke without thinking…”
Do Jun sent a warm look towards Tae Yeon as she made her excuses.
“I won’t say anything even if you take your time to answer, and even if it’s not the answer I want.”
Tae Yeon looked at Do Jun, lifting her long eyelashes.
“In the company, you are my subordinate, but not in our marriage.”
Do Jun’s face was firm.
“So, if you have something you want to say, I hope you feel comfortable saying it.”
“If I have something to say… I will.”
“That’s good.”
Do Jun loosened his tie and added an explanation as to why he said those things.
“I think I was irresponsible, flying straight to America and leaving you alone for a year and a half.”
“No, you went there for work.”
“That’s why I’m saying this. I want to make it up to you from now on.”
“…….”
“I feel sorry for misunderstanding you by only looking at the delivered pictures. Don’t we need to move quickly to fill the empty space between us?”
Tae Yeon took a small sip of her lukewarm tea, which had already cooled down. A warm feeling spread throughout her body.
Was it because of the jasmine tea she just drank?
Or was it because of Do Jun, who was looking at her with affectionate eyes? She had no idea.
((( )))((( )))((( )))
After finishing their meal and returning home, Do Jun instructed Mrs. Choi to go home.
After Mrs. Choi went to the annex, Do Jun called Tae Yeon in a soft voice.
“Ms. Jin Tae Yeon, are you tired?”
“No, I’m fine. Why?”
“I thought we might have a glass of wine together.”
“Okay.”
The two, wearing the same pajamas, went out to the terrace.
Do Jun first poured red wine into Tae Yeon’s glass, then into his own.
Clink
Their wine glasses clashed with a clear sound. A sweet and slightly bitter taste filled Tae Yeon’s mouth.
Seeing Tae Yeon sipping the wine bit by bit until her lips pouted, Do Jun opened his mouth.
“I am reminded of that day.”
“When?”
“The day you were drunk and fumbling all over my body.”
Tae Yeon sucked her lips in, her head hung in embarrassment.
“I didn’t fumble everywhere, it was just a little bit on your face.”
“I liked it.”
“…What?”
“You said you touched it because my face is handsome.”
Did she say that? Embarrassed, Tae Yeon took another sip of her wine.
Looking at Tae Yeon’s not so empty glass, Do Jun murmured to himself.
“You express a lot when you’re drunk.”
“I don’t have any injections.”
“Really?”
Do Jun looked at Tae Yeon with disbelief, tilting his head slightly.
Lacking confidence, Tae Yeon gave a very weak nod.
“I haven’t really had much to drink before.”
Due to Hyo Suk’s constant nagging to stay sober, she had never relaxed and drank before.
It wasn’t just the alcohol. She always hid her true feelings, and she was used to keeping her words to herself.
Do Jun, who was quietly observing Tae Yeon, asked curiously.
“Not even once?”
“Yes.”
“Can I ask why?”
“I can’t handle alcohol well.”
“It seemed like you were a bit drunk when you were with me that day.”
“Yes, I was.”
Strangely enough, she didn’t think about the consequences and drank that day. Do Jun, for some unknown reason, smiled with a grin.
“You can get drunk often when you’re with me.”
Tae Yeon looked at Do Jun with wide eyes, wondering what he meant.
“Especially if you’re drinking at home.”
Do Jun lifted his wine glass, motioning to Tae Yeon to join him in a drink.
Compared to when Do Jun had just returned to Korea, he had become more relaxed, which allowed Tae Yeon to savor her wine without tension.
By the time almost the entire bottle of wine was empty, a vibration rang from Tae Yeon’s phone which lay on the table.
Upon confirming the caller, Tae Yeon’s pupils trembled slightly.
As she just looked at her phone without answering, Do Jun, seemingly puzzled, leaned in and asked.
“Are you not going to answer it?”
“Ah, it’s my sister.”
Upon hearing it was a call from Tae Jin, Do Jun narrowed his eyes.
“You should answer it.”
Every time Tae Jin contacted her first, it often meant she had an inconvenient request, and so Tae Yeon was nervous even before answering the call today.
Just as she was about to press the call button, Do Jun pulled his chair close, sat next to her, and whispered in Tae Yeon’s ear.
“You should answer it quickly. If we know about Jin Tae Jin’s whereabouts, it will be easier to know about the person who threatened me.”
“That’s true.”
Although Do Jun, who came too close to her, was a little distracting, Tae Yeon quickly answered the call.
“Yes, it’s me.”
Why did you answer the phone so late?
“I was doing something. What’s up?”
Well, I was curious about how my little sister was doing, why are you being so defensive?
It was laughable. Tae Jin was lying very nonchalantly.
Worried that Do Jun might hear, Tae Yeon lowered her voice even more.
“I’m doing well. And you?”
Well, just soso. You came home today, didn’t you?
“Yes, I went with Mr. Do Jun.”
We should have a meal together too. When are you available?
Tae Yeon sighed quietly. It was bound to be an uncomfortable situation.
However, she soon remembered what Do Jun had said earlier.
The fact that if they knew about Tae Jin’s whereabouts, it would be easier to catch the person threatening Do Jun.
So she said something she normally wouldn’t.
“Okay, set the appointment time and let me know.”
After hanging up the call, Do Jun was looking at her with a curious face, wondering what the two had talked about.

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.
