Kang Hyun opened the car door and stretched out his long legs as he stepped out. His appearance seemed like a scene from a commercial, and Yun stared blankly at him.
“Stop admiring and get in the car.”
Yun was taken aback by Kang Hyun’s words.
“Huh? No, I just wanted to walk….”
“It may look close, but it’s a long walk down.”
Kang Hyun opened the car door and grabbed her arm. At that, Yun flinched.
‘This scent…’
She hadn’t realized it when they were together throughout the engagement ceremony, but now she remembered.
This scent was the same as the one from the handkerchief he gave her ten years ago. The familiar scent that lingered somewhere in Yun’s memory prompted her to move closer to his arm.
“What are you doing?”
At Kang Hyun’s words, Yun snapped back to reality.
“What are you doing?”
Kang Hyun asked again.
“The perfume…”
Yun began speaking but faltered. Then she noticed that her face was almost pressed against Kang Hyun’s arm. Startled, Yun quickly pulled away from him.
“Perfume? You seem to know men’s perfumes well. Did a boyfriend of yours use this scent? You were sniffing quite close. Do you have some kind of fond memory?”
Seeing Yun sniffing his arm, Kang Hyun couldn’t help but chuckle. Embarrassed, Yun quickly got into his car.
“Can you drop me off in Seongbukdong?”
Once in the car, he asked her. It seemed Kang Hyun knew she was staying at a house in Seongbukdong.
“Ah… Yes.”
Yun, contemplating where to start explaining her situation, stumbled on her words.
“Do I have to fasten your seatbelt, too?”
“No.”
Yun glanced at him as she pulled and fastened her seatbelt.
Watching her, Kang Hyun didn’t say anything else and started the car. Yun also kept her mouth shut and simply gazed out of the window.
The inside of the car was filled with his scent. Breathing in that scent, she felt comforted and her tense body from the whole day seemed to relax.
She even felt a wave of sleepiness. Maybe it was a kind of reflex because she used to fall asleep smelling this scent when she was young.
‘Should I ask the name of the perfume? If I spray it in my room, I might sleep better.’
That thought crossed her mind when she saw Kang Hyun’s reflection in the window. He looked handsome even while driving.
He had a neat and classic image at the engagement ceremony, but now, with his tie removed and a few buttons undone, he gave off a wilder vibe.
Moreover, his welldefined muscles, sculpted from regular workouts, seemed like they would tear through his tight dress shirt.
“If you’re going to look, don’t do it secretly. Just look openly.”
“Huh?”
Yun was taken aback by Kang Hyun’s comment.
“Don’t tell me you’re my fan too?”
Kang Hyun asked, staring straight at her as if trying to gauge her intentions.
“No, I’m not.”
Yun quickly shook her head.
“Doesn’t seem like you’re not. You were smelling me, weren’t you? I must say, you’re the first to be this direct. Are you a pervert?”
Kang Hyun’s eyes narrowed as he scanned her.
“No, I’m not.”
“Not a fan either?”
“Ah…no.”
Yun had been a fan of Kang Hyun, but she had been trying to shake off that sentiment ever since she met him.
“Well, that’s a relief then.”
“Why is it a relief?”
“It means you shouldn’t like me.”
“Because we’re getting a divorce?”
At Yun’s words, Kang Hyun quietly looked at her.
“Right, so until we get divorced, let’s just keep it cool. Got it?”
“Yes.”
Yun nodded, this was what she had wanted too. Seeing Yun’s indifferent reaction, Kang Hyun suddenly became curious.
“You were the one who asked for us to get married, right?”
No matter how he saw it, it was too different from what he’d heard, and Kang Hyun was confused.
“Me?”
Yun looked at him, not understanding what he was talking about. Who would want such a fake marriage?
Looking at Yun’s baffled expression, Kang Hyun turned his gaze forward again. He usually had a sharp eye for judging people, but he still hadn’t figured out Seo Yoon.
Although she seemed different from what he had heard, he thought this might be part of her act too.
“Anyway, we’re getting married next month, so move your stuff to my house before then. Input your number.”
Kang Hyun handed his phone to Yun, and she inputted her number.
“I’ll contact you when I’m free, so bring your stuff then.”
“Okay.”
Even though he said stuff, she only had a few changes of clothes. As it was the school break, she thought she could just bring a few comfortable clothes to wear at home and some of her teacher certification exam books.
‘Nevertheless, I have to live with this man for three years.’
The thought of having to live in the same house as Kang Hyun was already making Yun feel tired.
“You graduated from a college of education?”
“Yes.”
“Which school are you at?”
“Sura High School.”
‘I’m sure Kyung Ho said this kid was unemployed.’
Kyung Ho couldn’t attend the engagement ceremony because he had to go on a business trip to America. Kang Hyun wondered if he should find out about Yun himself for a moment.
‘Anyway, it’ll be over in three years. Just need to put up with it till then and break up.’
Lost in thought, Kang Hyun turned his head and looked at Yun.
Yun, who had been looking out the window until a moment ago, was now dozing off, the early summer sunlight streaming in through the window onto her.
‘What’s up with her?’
For a moment, Kang Hyun was at a loss for words, and a hollow laugh escaped him.
‘A woman falling asleep in my car……’
As baffled as he was, Kang Hyun considered waking her up, but remembering how Yun had nearly collapsed from the tension throughout the engagement ceremony, he decided to leave her be.
In that short while, Yun seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. She didn’t move at all.
‘Sleep well. I’m envious.’
Watching her sleep, Kang Hyun clicked his tongue. However, her sleeping form somehow looked pitiful, so he carefully drove the car.
‘I can’t believe Kang Hyun is playing the role of a chauffeur.’
Kang Hyun chuckled to himself.
A short while later, Kang Hyun’s car arrived in front of Seo Ji Man’s house in Seongbukdong.
“It’s time to wake up now.”
Kang Hyun gently shook Seo Yoon, who was still deep in sleep.
“Oh my.”
Startled, Seo Yoon woke up from her sleep. She didn’t remember when she had fallen asleep, but it seemed they had already arrived.
Feeling Kang Hyun’s gaze on her, she hurriedly collected her bag.
“Thank you.”
“Am I your chauffeur?”
Kang Hyun grumbled, looking baffled.
“I’m sorry.”
“I know, so just get out now.”
“Okay.”
Avoiding Kang Hyun’s gaze, Seo Yoon quickly got out of the car. As soon as she got out, Kang Hyun’s car left without hesitation.
Seo Yoon, who had gotten out of the car, also quickly turned around and walked away as soon as his car disappeared into the distance. The moment she had looked at the house in Seongbukdong before getting out of Kang Hyun’s car, she had felt a chill run down her spine.
‘Get lost!’
‘Shut up!’
‘Don’t stand out!’
It felt like the gates of hell were wide open, ready to swallow her. Seo Yoon’s steps quickened.
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.
