“I am Seo Ha~! Dreaming Seo Ha~!”
Kyung Joon looked at Yoon Seo Ha, who was fervently singing with a spoon in the soju bottle, with disbelief in his eyes. When she had talked about soju mixed with beer, she seemed to be able to handle alcohol, but why was she acting like this after only three bottles of beer and two bottles of soju?
“I am Seo Haaa~!”
“Ah, you’re so noisy.”
As Seo Ha prepared to sing the same song for the third time, Kyung Joon couldn’t stand it any longer and abruptly stood up.
“We’ve finished eating the clams, let’s go. We’ll go outside, get some fresh air, and I’ll call a designated driver.”
“Phone numbers that are the same front and back~ Phone numbers that are the same front and back~.”
Although she sang an unidentified commercial song, fortunately, Seo Ha obediently stood up and staggered after him.
“It’s the sea!”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Seo Ha leaped onto the sandy beach and started running wildly. It was quite a sight to see her stagger and then fall flat on the sand.
“Be more careful.”
Sighing deeply, Kyung Joon reached out to help Seo Ha up. The flickering laughter on her face disappeared.
“Let go of me.”
Seo Ha suddenly straightened up and shook off his hand, making Kyung Joon think she had sobered up.
“I’m a married woman. Don’t approach me. My husband is so…”
Well, that was impossible.
“Where’s your husband now?”
Kyung Joon gave up on helping Seo Ha and just sat down beside her, chiding her. Yoon Seo Ha, who had come out for drinks after going through all that trouble, and now mentioned her husband, evoked a mix of pity, frustration, and disdain.
“If you can’t drink, take it slow. If you’re drunk, at least behave decently. You have no caution, no selfcontrol. What do you have, really?”
I thought she would make a fuss about me using informal speech again, but surprisingly, Yoon Seo Ha just folded her legs, hugged them, and rested her chin on her knees.
“What do I have, really?”
“Well, you have your CEO, and your mother.”
Kyung Joon took off his coat and wrapped it around Yoon Seo Ha’s shoulders. It wasn’t because he thought she might be cold. It was just that her shoulders looked much smaller than when he saw her at the company, and it bothered him.
“That’s right. I have my mom.”
Seo Ha’s laughter returned.
“Secretary Ryu, please take care of my mom. She’ll be really upset if I get a divorce. She’s never had a break in her entire life, raising me and the company without my dad. It’s unbelievable that a company CEO has never been able to take a relaxing vacation.”
Tears filled her dark eyes, shimmering like the night sea. It was pitiful.
‘Pitiful?’
Kyung Joon was surprised by his own thought. It would be understandable if Yoon Seo Ha pitied him, but he had no reason to feel pity for her.
He decided to stop making useless thoughts and get some work done instead.
Kyung Joon tried hard to pull himself together.
“It seems like selling the company would solve the problem. We’ve received quite a few decent acquisition offers.”
“How could you say that!”
Seo Ha jumped at his casual question. It looked like she had sobered up all of a sudden.
“We’ve had dozens of offers. My mom rejected them all so gracefully. How could we sell the company that she and my dad built together, starting from Dongdaemun?”
Kyung Joon knew the story. It wasn’t a particularly special or unique startup story in their industry.
“It’s an emotional reason. Quite a silver spoon attitude.”
“What do you mean?”
“You don’t have any practical concerns. Aren’t you considering things like money, time, or leisure?”
“Nope. I’m not.”
Seo Ha brushed off Kyung Joon’s provocative words lightly.
“I am a silver spoon. But it’s not because of the wealth. There are plenty of people with hundreds of millions, billions, or even trillions of won. What’s a silver spoon with just money?”
“Then?”
“I’m loved. I’m my mom and dad’s pride and treasure. I don’t need a husband. I’ll live happily with my mom and grow our company, showing my brand to the world.”
Despite her slurred speech, Seo Ha’s eyes sparkled more vividly than the night sea. Kyung Joon was certain that his eyes would never sparkle like that.
He was envious. Very much so.
“… Let’s go. It’s cold.”
Yoon Seo Ha held out her hand. The hand he carelessly took was slightly cold and rough.
The two of them slowly walked back along the dark beach to their car. Kyung Joon, who called a designated driver, considered just going to a nearby hotel to sleep but changed his mind and sat next to Seo Ha in the back seat.
He made the unsolicited excuse that the world was too dangerous to leave a drunk woman alone.
“Why don’t you get some rest? You look tired.”
Kyung Joon started the car and turned on the heater. An awkward silence filled the car as the warmth gradually increased.
“Secretary Ryu.”
Had she sobered up a bit? Seo Ha spoke in a small voice. Her weak, fragile voice was annoying again.
“I agreed to pay the designated driver fee, so don’t thank me.”
“That’s not what I meant.”
Seo Ha’s voice became clearer.
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.
