He felt a slight sense of guilt for getting angry with her.
“Jin…”
He was about to call Line, but seeing her sleeping, he lowered his voice. Then he stopped walking.
Should he cover her with the blanket while she remained in the same position, move her to the guest room to sleep comfortably, or wake her up and take her home? He was unsure.
He approached Line slowly, then placed his hand on her small shoulder. However, as soon as he touched her, she opened her eyes.
Line half-opened her blurry eyes and only moved her pupils. She couldn’t accurately distinguish who the person in front of her was. The semi-formal attire covering his forehead made her mistake Song Kang for Juhyeok.
“Senior… Can I sleep a little longer?”
Although her voice was mixed with drowsiness, Song Kang’s expression froze. Why was he becoming so thoughtful today of all days?
In the moment he turned with a sigh, Line uncomfortably tossed and turned. If she had regained her senses, she probably would have asked about the doctor, but for now, the guest room seemed like the best option.
He embraced Line with both arms. Her body relaxed, and Song Kang tightened his grip a bit more, fearing she might fall.
In response, Line, who was about to toss again, put her arms around his neck. Through that touch, she pressed even closer to his body. For a moment, Song Kang’s breath stopped. However, unlike the paused breath, his heart raced rapidly.
“It’s Director Lee…”
After placing her hands on his broad shoulders, Line finally realized who she was embracing. Following that, her limp body tensed again. Song Kang felt frustrated at her reaction.
“Ah… I can do it alone.”
As she mumbled something like sleep talk, Song Kang stopped, wearing an uneasy expression.
She tried to get out of his arms with some effort, but Song Kang had no intention of letting her go. As he started walking again, Line’s feeble struggle, similar to sleep talk, gradually subsided.
He laid Line on the guest room bed. When he turned away, he noticed his coat, which he had worn outside all day, bothering him. Moreover, thinking about sitting on the floor made him feel uncomfortable.
“Let’s take off the coat too.”
Song Kang wanted her to wash and sleep. In deep sleep, she snored without any tension.
If Line, who had exceptional mental strength, couldn’t recover to this extent, she must have suffered enough to the point of freezing to death in today’s cold weather.
“Ha… Really…”
Feeling upset inside, Song Kang sighed deeply and sat on the bed. He embraced her upper body and extended his hand toward the collar of her coat.
Carefully pushing his hand inside the coat to pull out her arm, he barely managed to remove the coat. Once freed from the coat, he gently lowered her back onto the bed to make her more comfortable.
“Ugh~.”
At that moment, Line tossed and pulled his neck while embracing it. In an instant, her lips touched his neck. Startled by the sensation, Song Kang lost his focus and instinctively touched her shoulders.
[#32 Episode Illustration]Line felt something touching her body, especially her lips. Instinctively, she tried to discern what it was by moving her lips.
From Song Kang’s perspective, it was an entirely thoughtless action. He let out a sigh-like breath for a moment.
“Ha… Seriously, this is driving me crazy.”
Line moved her lips and tongue, trying to figure out what touched her, but in addition to not being able to determine what it was, a pleasant fragrance seeped into her nostrils, causing her to open her eyes. She blinked and began to assess the situation.
Certainly, until she closed her eyes, it was Song Kang’s house, an unfamiliar sofa. In front of her eyes, however, was an even more unfamiliar scene, and the thing touching her lips was…
First, she felt the need to detach her lips from there. Coincidentally, Song Kang extended his arms, looking down at her.
“Are you awake?”
Trapped in his gaze, Line guessed the situation and forcefully pushed him away with all her strength. Line internally asserted her right to an overreaction.
If he had done anything to her hard-kept body until now, she was determined not to forgive him.
“I didn’t touch your body!”
Song Kang stood his ground without yielding to her push. Watching Line’s defensive attitude, he had various reasonable suspicions about her lifestyle.
His pupils slowly… meticulously… scrutinized Line. The more he experienced, the more he wanted to know. The more he knew, the more he wanted to embrace.
With the distance getting too close, Line, with her breath held, glared at him. The glare that stared him down still lingered even after overcoming the slight dizziness.
“What are you doing right now?”
“Do you think, in this situation, I harbor ill intentions?”
Seeing Line’s shoulders tense, it seemed she felt that way even without hearing an answer. Song Kang distanced himself a bit from Line, triggering her allergic reaction.
Line, angry at not knowing what happened while she was asleep, remembered bits and pieces. If only she had remembered everything, even if it was trivial…
Why were the sensations that popped up from those fragmented memories so peculiar? Line’s face turned warm, and she suddenly sat up.
With anger surging, she almost swore but grabbed her head instead.
“Ah… my head.”
After taking a deep breath, Line looked at Song Kang again. Song Kang raised one eyebrow, meeting her gaze. He disliked everything about her being in pain and looking at him like that.
“Explain the current situation.”
Line shot at him as if checking the atmosphere. If there was any unwanted skinship while she was asleep, she wasn’t going to stay quiet.
“You saw it yourself.”
Song Kang said confidently, bringing his hand to his neck. He even made an expression as if he was the one who suffered.
If someone helped you out of the water and asked you to return the favor, they must be a nobleman. He had a lot to say, but he quietly pointed at the coat.
Line looked around, and on the bed, she found the discarded coat. Not feeling satisfied with the explanation, she glared at Song Kang again.
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.
