“I don’t want to break up.”
Kwon Yool spoke with a vacant expression.
He gripped Seo Yeon’s hand even tighter, as if he might let it slip away.
Collecting her emotions as much as she could, Seo Yeon revealed her thoughts.
“My emotions were out of control today.”
How shocked she had been.
It was the first time Seo Yeon had left work early since becoming the representative.
“I don’t want to spill my feelings in this unfiltered state.”
This didn’t mean he was forgiven because he had improved.
Seo Yeon shifted her gaze from Kwon Yool and fell silent for a moment.
Wondering if there was any rudeness in what she wanted to say to him.
Knowing his age didn’t change anything.
Because she hadn’t yet made up her mind.
“Let’s take some time to think.”
“Time to think?”
Despite the uneasy feeling, Kwon Yool waited calmly for Seo Yeon’s next words.
“I usually just charge forward. But I’ll stop for now.”
This was her best option.
It was her plea to not make hasty decisions because she cherished and liked him.
“How long?”
Kwon Yool asked with a troubled face.
“I don’t know. It could be a week, a month, or even more.”
Everything was uncertain for Seo Yeon.
She felt pity for the unforgivable reality, yet sometimes she wanted to get mad and yell, while at other times, she wanted to forgive him right away.
Whether or not Kwon Yool knew Seo Yeon’s feelings, he spoke in a calm voice.
“I’ll wait until you’re ready.”
“Don’t expect anything. Even I don’t know what decision I’ll make.”
The only certainty was that time would give her the answer.
Seo Yeon thought so.
After a moment’s hesitation, Kwon Yool reluctantly spoke.
“All that I’ve been might feel like a lie to you.”
He had to say it, even if it sounded like an excuse.
“But my feelings have never been a lie.”
His soft voice circled around Seo Yeon’s ears.
“I know it’s shameless to offer comfort after causing such pain, but…”
Exhaling hot breath, Kwon Yool struggled to continue.
“I hope it didn’t hurt too much.”
What should she do with that man?
When Seo Yeon talked to him, she unwittingly got swept up.
Even the sharpest blade became dull, and the high walls she built crumbled quickly.
The reason was unknown.
It was just that she became weak inevitably, as if meeting a natural enemy.
But Seo Yeon braced herself.
“I will.”
At Seo Yeon’s words, Kwon Yool gave a cloudy smile.
He caressed the back of her hand with his thumb and met her eyes.
“…I should go now.”
Though he hesitated to leave, Kwon Yool had to get up.
“Take care.”
As Seo Yeon said goodbye, Kwon Yool made it clear it wasn’t a farewell yet.
“See you… again.”
His tingling heart promised the next.
He lifted his arm as if to hug Seo Yeon out of habit, but soon pulled it back into thin air.
Then he stood up, leaving a heartfelt apology and lingering emotion behind.
Seo Yeon deliberately didn’t see him off.
For fear that her weakened heart might find his slumped shoulders pitiable.
With the thud of the front door closing, she let out the breath she had been holding back.
“What am I going to do now?”
Seo Yeon asked herself, as if scolding.
But all that came back was the thought, ‘I don’t know.’
“My head hurts.”
As she ruffled her hair irritably, Seo Yeon glanced at the dining table.
Various types of porridge, strawberries, ice cream, and medicine were there.
If he had started from school, she could imagine how busy he must have been.
“Sigh…”
Seo Yeon let out another deep sigh, sat at the table, and took out the porridge he had brought.
Thinking of his sincerity, she ate half the porridge and swallowed a headache pill at that spot.
Then she shut her mouth tightly, like someone who had even lost the ability to sigh, and focused on one thought alone.
If his feelings were truly sincere… could she really accept him?
Setting aside all the realistic issues and focusing solely on one person…
Then the words he had confidently uttered floated back into her mind.
“Only money matters! You can’t buy or earn character. It’s the most important.”
Looking back, that statement perfectly described Kwon Yool.
Seo Yeon’s temples throbbed again.
“Let’s stop for today.”
As if she couldn’t take it anymore, Seo Yeon headed straight for the bed.
But sleep eluded her.
Her tangled thoughts scattered and regrouped every time she shifted her position.
Frustrated, Seo Yeon abruptly sat up.
She ran her hands through her hair, lay back down, and fiddled with her phone.
She searched for articles she had no interest in and wandered through her friends’ social media accounts.
But in the end, her final stop was the chat she had with Kwon Yool.
The darkened room.
Seo Yeon mulled over the Kwon Yool in her phone.
Parts she had previously brushed off were now apparent.
“Always the same…”
She muttered to herself without realizing it.
Forcing herself to sleep, her restless mind was no different than a dream.
A light nap finally came, but her unsettled mind kept repeating farewells and forgiveness.
Ultimately, Seo Yeon woke up early in the morning.
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.
