“You missed me.”
Even as he held Seo Yeon in his arms, Kwon Yool couldn’t quite believe those words.
As if confirming, he swept his hand down her delicate back and pulled her close, leaving no space between them.
“Thank you. Thank you so much.”
His emotions, which he had firmly held back until now, flowed out like a burst dam.
It felt like everything was falling into place as if returning to a sanctuary after a long journey.
Kwon Yool buried his face in Seo Yeon’s delicate shoulder and savored the longing.
The familiar sweet scent of peaches that was unique to Seo Yeon…
The soft texture he had longed to touch so desperately, and the warmth.
Everything about Seo Yeon was just as it used to be.
Filled with emotion, Kwon Yool exhaled a warm breath for a moment.
As if he couldn’t bear to let her go, he held her even tighter when he felt Seo Yeon’s shoulders tremble slightly.
He expressed his gratitude for this reunion and made a promise not to disappoint her again.
“I thought of you every single day without fail.”
Seo Yeon smiled for the first time.
“I missed you so much that I died and came back to life multiple times.”
Her breath, as soft as cotton candy, brushed against his cheek.
The contact and withdrawal of their cheeks, how electrifying it was, sent shivers down Kwon Yool’s spine.
Kwon Yool, holding her in his arms, longed to see her again and raised his upper body to meet Seo Yeon’s gaze.
With his slender fingers, he traced along the contours of her face, moving as if drawing a curve.
Then, without realizing it, he paused at the tip of Seo Yeon’s chin.
His affectionate gaze was directed towards Seo Yeon’s reddened lips.
A conflict between the overwhelming desire to touch and the presence of conscience ensued.
However, his fingers, liberated from rational control, moved on their own.
His leading thumb gently grazed the corner of Seo Yeon’s lips.
“Seo Yeon.”
Suppressing his feelings that couldn’t be overtly revealed, he called her name.
To calm down her rapidly beating heart, Kwon Yool hugged Seo Yeon again.
However, when she still couldn’t calm down, he once again met her gaze.
Repeatedly.
Seo Yeon, unable to resist any longer, placed her hand on Kwon Yool’s cheek.
“Yool.”
As he felt the touch he had longed for, a sweet spring breeze blew through Kwon Yool’s heart.
“Shall we continue the rest of the conversation at our place?”
Seo Yeon pointed to the CCTV and smiled awkwardly.
How irrational it was.
Even the sight of Seo Yeon smiling awkwardly seemed incredibly enchanting to Kwon Yool.
He forced his racing heart to calm down and managed to suppress his impatience, saying it wasn’t the right time yet.
There were still things to say and sort out between them.
“I want to go. With Seo Yeon.”
“Then, let’s depart before it gets any later.”
Even the seemingly insignificant word ‘we’ made his heart race uncontrollably.
Kwon Yool slid his thumb gently over his fingers, like a calm before a fierce storm.
“Let’s go.”
Even as they walked hand in hand, he couldn’t help but glance at her repeatedly.
It was unbelievable, no matter how many times he looked.
Just a few hours ago, he had been wandering through a pitch-black hell.
But being with her like this felt like heaven itself.
Kwon Yool gently touched Seo Yeon’s hand, feeling like a savior, silently repeating words of relief in his mind.
He leaned his large upper body towards her, as if marking his presence on the back of her hand, and gently kissed her hand.
“Do I… make you that happy?” Seo Yeon asked with a smirk.
“Inexpressibly,” Kwon Yool replied.
He then moved past the driver’s seat door that he hadn’t closed yet and headed for the passenger seat.
Just like before, he seated Seo Yeon and meticulously fastened her seatbelt.
He couldn’t help but want to keep checking on her, gazing at her like he was stamping her image in his memory.
Her infectious laughter, the happiness they had found once again.
Kwon Yool spoke with a renewed sense of life, feeling as if he had been granted a new chance.
“Seo Yeon, please stay by my side,” he said.
Seo Yeon, her smile radiating, nodded, and Kwon Yool’s smile widened even more.
Even during that brief moment when he returned to the driver’s seat, his heart swelled, and he couldn’t contain his emotions.
It had been two weeks.
Two weeks since they had sat side by side in the same place.
The spot that was once used for serious conversations about taking time apart had now become a place of tender reunion.
Kwon Yool held Seo Yeon as if he were a person afflicted with a life-threatening illness if he were separated from her. One arm wrapped around her shoulder, while the other hand held hers tightly.
“We should talk about something we haven’t finished, right?” Seo Yeon began.
“It was incredibly painful for me when I was separated from you, Yool,” Seo Yeon admitted.
She realized belatedly that she had been deeply affected by the presence of Kwon Yool, unable to fully push him away.
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.
