The long horn of the truck. Again, the sound struck Haeyeon, who had blocked her ears, and the sound of a body colliding harshly, vibrations shaking her entire body, siren sounds, people screaming, and red bloodstains on the asphalt.
The owner of that blood lay motionless with a smashed head.
As Haeyeon stepped out of the road, she slowly turned a man’s face with trembling hands.
It was Doha.
At the sudden recall of memories, Haeyeon’s pupils widened astonishingly. Juah, unaware of the tremendous change in her feelings, thought to herself.
‘Doha-ssi needs to come quickly.’
Although she had already contacted Doha just before entering the café, it was uncertain when they would meet. Even if it was the same neighborhood, Juah wondered how long it would take. Nevertheless, Haeyeon’s condition was so serious.
Juah was frustrated. The tiresome road couldn’t move forward at all due to the congestion of cars.
Sweat soaked the hands holding the steering wheel, and the car was almost at a standstill. Looking ahead with her lips tightly pressed, Juah turned her head abruptly. The incident happened in an instant. Thud, Haeyeon undid her seatbelt.
“Haeyeon!”
Before she could call her further, Haeyeon got out of the car.
“Min Haeyeon!”
She shouted with the window down, but the sound was buried by the noisy cars behind. The damn road made it impossible to move forward or change lanes.
Juah checked Haeyeon through the rearview mirror and raised her phone with trembling hands. Before the dial tone went off a few times, the other party answered the call.
“Doha-ssi! Haeyeon is!”
Thud! Thud!
Even though it was a road with accumulated water due to rain, a neatly dressed man ran quickly.
Throughout this journey, Doha had repeatedly collided with many people, silently shouting ‘please’ in his mind, but there was no time for apologies. Even if the people he bumped into cursed him, there was nothing he could do.
“Haah, haah.”
Running breathlessly, Doha unexpectedly stopped when he spotted Inyeong standing alone in the distance, getting wet in the rain. Without realizing it, he stood still. With a distorted face, he took a step, then another, and finally began to run again.
When the minor leg pain became irritating enough to be called painful, when he thought he might run out of breath and his lungs might burst, he stopped. Inyeong, who had approached closely, was wearing the dress she liked, the one she rarely wore since teasing her once.
The only person who always made his emotions well up just by looking at her.
“Haeyeon…”
In front of the complicated road of ten lanes, he saw Haeyeon standing precariously on the edge of the sidewalk. Doha clenched his fist and bit his dry lips inside as he looked at her.
This place was nothing other than the location where everything between the two had fallen apart.
A place he could never forget himself.
The place he had never been able to approach since the accident.
Afraid of appearing scary to Haeyeon, Doha, trying to block his face from contorting, couldn’t bring himself to call her name. Slowly, gradually, he closed the widening gap without daring to call her name.
“…I’m sorry.”
Uttering an apology that seemed to come out weakly as if crushed inside his mouth, he hugged her frail body. He just embraced her without looking at her face, which leaned on him weakly.
“I’m sorry, Haeyeon.”
What Doha had just done was a sincere apology, the first one he offered to the ‘awake’ Haeyeon.
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.
