Yoo In took a deep breath, looking at the rectangular machine trembling before her. Her heartbeat was pounding, not knowing why her heart felt like a stolen test paper before an exam, but tension lingered at her fingertips.
Just before it could almost cut off, just before the vibration that pushed her to the edge, Yoo In answered the call.
And then, following the established rule, he called her name first.
Yoo In.
His languid and quiet voice, filled with tranquility, matched the deepening night perfectly. Yoo In replied softly.
“Yes.”
What are you doing? No response? Our puppy.
Despite Yujin accompanying her home and even watching her ride the elevator, she still sent a message asking if she had gotten in safely.
Although Yoo In usually replied diligently to his unique worries, today, she forgot in the sudden appearance of Nam Yujin.
To be precise, it started with the shopping bags Nam Yujin brought.
“I need to talk to my sister.”
Nam Yujin has some free time. She’s at home playing with my younger sister.
His low voice contained a pleasant laughter, suitable for the calm night.
What did you say to her? Nam Yujin still won’t stop talking behind my back. I’m not bothering her these days.
“What? I’m not talking behind her back. Just, this and that……”
Surprised, Yoo In mumbled the end of her sentence. Did I ever mention that my sister says terrible things about her when she comes home?
No. I never brought up any related topics. Whenever the topic of Nam Yujin came up, it was always initiated and led by him.
Yoo In deliberately tried not to bring up anything about her sister.
Yet, why is Kieun so sure? Like she said before, it seems like he really knows everything about Nam Yujin.
Looking at Nam Yujin’s reaction, it seems like she’s been thoroughly chewed out again. Why, what did you say?
This man not only handles people well but also quickly grasps the situation about the other person. Sometimes, it’s a very good trait, but right now, she wished he didn’t know. No, she wished he would pretend not to know. However, Dogiyeon wouldn’t do that. He was a man who would become angry if she didn’t answer when silence prolonged.
If the silence continues, I’ll really start to doubt, Yoo In. Should I come back to your place? Do you want to see my face and talk?
“No, no. I didn’t say anything. Director Lee is really busy these days. And Ji Han mentioned it. That’s all.”
Oh. Nam Yujin’s friend is looking for a management agency. I think I heard something like that.
Kieun, completely forgetting until now, mentioned it as if recalling.
Although there were many incredible facts that her sister had listed, for now, she decided to bury them alone.
Since she didn’t know until now, it might be better to continue not knowing in the future. Or perhaps, it could be a good topic to bring up at the right time. She hadn’t decided yet.
Well, it seems like Nam Yujin didn’t know about it.
“Yes. I didn’t know. Lately, I’ve been sporadically in touch with Jihan. But, Director Lee.”
Yeah. Yoo In.
With only affection in her voice, Yoo In hesitated for a moment.
She had no desire to interfere with what he was doing. That’s why speaking up felt even more delicate.
“Well… Jihan.”
…
“Il-lang, will you accept?”
Well, I don’t know.
In that low tone, no emotions were revealed, and it sounded dry. As expected, maybe he shouldn’t have asked. But then he quietly spoke.
How would Nam Yujin want it to be?
Was this an important issue in my opinion? It was a question with unclear intentions.
“My opinion doesn’t matter. That judgment is Director Lee’s responsibility. I just asked out of curiosity.”
I asked because Nam Yujin’s opinion is important.
“…”
His words sounded like he would do as I wished.
What was the need for Yoo In’s opinion, which had nothing more than the fact that she was meeting a man named Dogiyeon as a link to Il-lang?
Ah, it can’t be.
“Director, he won’t agree to meet Jihan just because I asked, right?”
Why do you think not? I’m more curious about the reason, Yoo In.
“No, well… sigh.”
As the poorly connected sentence was linked with a sigh, Kiyeon laughed softly as if teasing.
I lost. I really did. If Kiyeon were here now, I probably would have surrendered with both hands and feet raised.
Kiyeon, who did not respond skillfully and kept avoiding, never intended to yield in the first place.
How reckless it must have seemed to try to break a rock with an egg without even knowing that.
“I don’t know. It’s Director’s company, so let Director handle it.”
Yeah, sure. If that’s what Nam Yujin wants.
With an attitude that seemed to say, “What’s difficult about that?” Dash easily agreed, making Yoo In open her mouth in amazement and then burst into laughter.
What’s this? It feels like rolling a very easy straight path and going around in a big circle.
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.
