Firm yet warm, sharp yet gentle, cold yet cozy. That’s how Kiyun’s embrace felt.
Trapped in Kiyun’s arms to the point that she couldn’t feel the occasional breeze by the lakeside, Yoo In found herself immersed in a fleeting fantasy where only the vigorous heartbeat and steady breaths existed.
The man who had erected an impregnable fortress that no one could enter for her, and the man who was always with him.
Only the two of them lived and breathed in this world. Yoo In had a strange conviction that if it were Kiyun, he would willingly create such a world for her.
Yoo In’s faith in the special and extraordinary Kiyun was immense and profound.
“It’s prosperity within peace.”
Yoo In, looking out of the arched window at the gently swaying branches as if dancing, spoke.
The two of them were seated inside a restaurant atop a hill overlooking the lake. This log cabin, reminiscent of a scene from a fairy tale, had only Kiyun and Yoo In as guests.
When Kiyun led her into the restaurant, Yoo In couldn’t help but doubt if there were no staff present. However, Kiyun skillfully avoided his gaze to prevent Yoo In from noticing.
“Nam Yoo In suits you.”

“What do you mean? Peace, or prosperity?”
“Both.”
Although Yoo In subtly disagreed with his words, the man, who looked at Yoo In intently with a determined gaze, smiled nonchalantly.
“Still, there’s no one as beautiful as you.”
His arms, encased in a crisp shirt, reached across the table, delicately touching her rosy cheeks.
It was a careful and refined gesture, as if worried that a small flaw might appear on a precious artwork.
“I’m fortunate to have met you.”
He smiled with intense eyes. The sincere and straightforward yet weighty tone made Yoo In’s heart flutter.
Thump-thump. The pounding beats and the fiery warmth tantalizingly permeated through her body.
His fingers, which possessed a slightly lower body temperature than others, were as slender as matches. Even if they just brushed past, a flame would ignite. Was she becoming a matchbox?

These whimsical thoughts concluded in the sweet, melodic low notes.
“On a day like today, we should have a commemorative drink.”
Kiyun made a disappointed expression.
“But you have to drive.”
“It’s a bit disappointing to let it pass like this. How about going to Seoul in the evening and having some champagne? What do you think?”
Yoo In, smiling at the cheerful man, pretended to contemplate with an unfamiliar playfulness.
When she tilted her head, Kiyun quietly gazed at Yoo In as if waiting for her decision, avoiding her gaze to prevent her from realizing the disappointment.
Seeing his unexpected reaction, an irresistible feeling burst forth.
“Why are you so serious?”
Yoo In smiled at the blushing Yoo In, and Kiyun wrinkled his forehead but soon smiled back.

“Did I tease you?”
“Yes, a little.”
“Not just a little. I thought about all sorts of things in that short moment.”
“What were you thinking?”
“I won’t tell you because it’s too embarrassing.”
Tomorrow, these trivial anecdotes that might not linger in memory were never light. Yoo In somewhat understood what it meant for such trivial matters to accumulate.
Even though neither of them had used language to define their relationship, their form had no description other than “lovers.”
His affectionate eyes, the love contained in those eyes, and the unwavering gaze were eloquently expressing it.
We’ve become precious to each other.
“Yoo In.”
Although the husky voice called, Yoo In’s reaction was slightly delayed as she was busy fishing out a shrimp from her pasta.

“Yes?”
“Graduation is approaching. Have you decided what to do after graduating?”
An unexpected question caused the uneaten food to go down hard.
Graduation. It was one of the topics she didn’t want to think about. The waves that had been temporarily forgotten while meeting him came rushing back.
In school, one could study and achieve alone, but society didn’t work that way. Even if you didn’t like it, you had to socialize with someone, say things you didn’t want to say, and get involved even if you didn’t want to.
The satellite orbiting in its own path doesn’t dream of escaping. Yoo In stirred the pasta on her plate, feeling a sense of turmoil.
“Not yet.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Afraid of appearing strange, she deliberately concluded with a brief answer, but Kiyun somehow smiled mysteriously.

Then, after choosing his words as if contemplating, he spoke.
“You can join our company.”
“…What?”
“If you have a department you want, you can choose. It would be even better if you come in as my secretary.”
She barely managed to grasp the fork slipping from her hand. Was he asking if he could come to her house tomorrow? It was as absurd as asking, “Do you want to play?” like a cute playmate, making it seem like there was nothing difficult.
“Are you joking?”
“No, not at all. Did it seem like a joke?”
“…”
“There’s no problem with coming in as an employee. Is that too much?”
She nodded slightly while sipping from her cup.

Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
