“A date?”
“Yes, a date.”
Chae Ha raised an eyebrow at Seol Won’s somewhat hesitant response.
“Is it so strange for a husband to ask his wife for a date? You don’t dislike the idea, do you?”
“It’s not that I dislike it…”
Seol Won’s words trailed off, causing Chae Ha’s eyebrows to arch even higher, sensing her discontent. Seol Won quickly added an explanation.
“It’s just so sudden.”
“Is a date request something that needs to be announced in advance?”
“Well, not exactly, but…”
“Then just go along with it. I’ve never actually been on a date in my life.”
“What?”
Seol Won’s eyes widened in disbelief.
The crown prince of Chaeun never having been on a date…
“You’re kidding, right?”
Her skeptical question was instinctive, and Chae Ha frowned.
“Why would you think it’s a lie?”
His gaze was profoundly serious. Seol Won found herself staring at him, forgetting even to blink.
Then Chae Ha narrowed his eyes and stepped closer to her.
“I really haven’t, Min Seol Won. It seems you’ve had your share, though.”
“No, that’s not true!”
“Hmm. So you haven’t either?”
“…Well, I was always caring for my mother, so I never really had the chance…”
“So, you’re saying you would have enjoyed dating if you had the time?”
“That’s not what I said.”
The conversation, which started seriously, was turning childishly playful, making Seol Won frown.
Chae Ha chuckled, a sound that always melted her heart.
He placed a hand on Seol Won’s shoulder, smiling affectionately.
“So, you’ll accept my date request?”
Overwhelmed by his charming gaze, Seol Won found herself nodding.
And that’s how she unexpectedly accepted her first date request.
“Yes, I’d like that.”
[Star Icon]“Chae Ha, wait. Let go of my hand for a moment…”
“Why? Isn’t holding hands a basic part of dating?”
Chae Ha’s playful remark made Seol Won’s cheeks flush.
Of course, holding hands was nothing extraordinary for a married couple, but…
“This is too much…”
“Too much?”
Chae Ha teasingly wiggled his eyebrows, as if challenging her to continue.
His blatant attitude left Seol Won speechless.
Her heart had been pounding since earlier, almost too much to bear.
He was holding her hand in a way that felt too intimate for a daytime date.
The way their fingers were interlaced seemed more suited for a night out.
“Hmm. Seems my wife is misconstruing my pure intentions.”
“No, I didn’t think anything strange!”
“I never said you were thinking strange thoughts.”
“…”
Seol Won’s cheeks turned a helpless shade of red, feeling like she had shot herself in the foot.
Chae Ha let out another of her favorite chuckles, then gently released her hand.
Just when she thought she could relax…
“!”
“There, is this better?”
“Chae Ha…”
Seol Won decided to give up trying to convince him.
He wrapped his arm more snugly around her, pulling her close.
The proximity made Chae Ha look extremely pleased.
“So this is what it feels like to link arms.”
“You’ve never linked arms before?”
“Not that I remember.”
It was believable, considering his background as a scion of a wealthy but emotionally sparse family.
Chae Ha gazed down at her affectionately, slightly tilted.
“Let’s go to a movie, eat tteokbokki, enter a photo booth… all of that.”
“You really want to do those things?”
“Why not?”
“Well, there’s no reason not to, but…”
“I want to try everything with you, Min Seol Won. I was too busy in the past, but now I want to do it all with you. Starting with these small things.”
“Chae Ha…”
Seol Won felt a wave of emotion, her nose tingling slightly.
In truth, what she really wanted was to enjoy ordinary everyday moments just like any other couple.
Seol Won, feeling warmth in her heart, wanted to share this warmth with Chae Ha.
Thus, she tightly clung to Chae Ha’s arm and rested her head gently against his chest.
“Shall we go then?”
Their simple yet incredibly sweet date officially began.
The cinema, a perfect refuge from the scorching heat, was their first stop.
Seated in the couple’s seat at the very back, Chae Ha and Seol Won watched the movie, holding hands tightly.
Seol Won, who had never been moved by romance movies before, found every scene incredibly romantic.
Even more romantic was catching each other’s eye whenever a heart-fluttering scene came on.
In fact, throughout the movie, Chae Ha was looking at Seol Won, though she was too engrossed in the film to notice.
When Seol Won’s lips parted in surprise during a passionate kiss scene in the movie, Chae Ha sneakily fed her popcorn, probably unbeknownst to her.
“Wow, this seasoning is amazing!”
“…….”
“……Why are you looking at me like that? Did I get something on my face?”
“Just, I didn’t know Min Seol Won used such words.”
“Oh. It just slipped out because it’s so delicious…”
An embarrassed Seol Won, worried she might have seasoning on her face, reached up to wipe her mouth.
But Chae Ha’s fingers softly brushed the corner of her lips first.
He wiped away the seasoning and casually tasted it off his finger.
“Right. It is definitely worth mentioning as you did.”
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.

2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
