“Send Min Seol Won away……”
As Kwon Chae Ha found himself at a loss for words, Secretary Jung settled down onto a humble wooden chair beside the window that afforded a view of the entire skyline.
It was a gift that Secretary Jung himself had brought when he retired.
He had suggested looking at the sky occasionally, rather than always burying oneself in documents.
“You have done enough by now. You know it too, Vice President. If she were alive, she would have appeared by now.”
“……”
“The damned sea swallowed my daughter and the young lady. So, I came to propose we perform Cheondojae today.”
Cheondojae……
That unfamiliar and foreign word hit him so hard that Kwon Chae Ha found himself unable to respond.
A lonely smile spread across Secretary Jung’s face that had grown much rougher over the years.
“Do you know, Vice President? When the young lady was alive, she would personally arrange flowers for my daughter’s anniversary.”
“Flowers…… you say?”
Chae Ha’s senses were unusually on edge at this unheard story.
“Yes. One day while we were chatting, this old man foolishly mentioned my daughter. Complaining about why she had to leave the world first due to whatever difficulty. That’s when she asked when my daughter’s anniversary was. She said she wanted to send flowers every year on the anniversary, a small sentiment in lieu of inappropriate condolences, as she didn’t know the exact circumstances. She sent beautiful flowers, much like my daughter.”
“……”
That was truly like Min Seol Won, such a feminine gesture.
Being made aware of this only now left me speechless, and Chae Ha’s lips were incapable of the slightest movement.
“People criticize the Vice President for not mentioning his wife’s name even once, but I know well. How difficult it is to swallow someone’s name with one’s heart.”
In the distance, Secretary Jung’s gaze moved beyond the window.
“5 years. For a full 5 years, you refused to give up, you searched for the young lady every day. And that’s not all. You yourself went to the Yangyang seashore several times and almost……”
“……Please stop, Secretary Jung.”
With his eyes gently closed, Kwon Chae Ha muttered in a low voice and leaned back in his chair.
The fatigue left by the passage of five years was clearly visible in him.
A pain that could never be seen by those who only saw his exterior.
“The place where my daughter was laid to rest takes great care in sending off. If we hold on too long, even the departed can’t move on to a better place. Let’s select a good day and perform Cheondojae.”
A good day…… where could there be a good day.
Which day could be a good day to send away my wife, to send away Min Seol Won.
But Kwon Chae Ha knew all too well what meaningless anger was.
That the target of this anger was none other than himself, Kwon Chae Ha.
“……I understand. I will choose a date.”
He didn’t want to harbour resentment asking why she left, or hope that she might not return.
At this rate, Kwon Chae Ha would lose his vitality like a withered leaf.
Or perhaps he didn’t know if he had already lost it and was nothing more than an empty shell.
“You made a good decision. I will consult with the monk… Oh, hold on a moment. I just got a message from my grandson.” A faint smile graced Secretary Jeong’s lips.
He thought that even after sending his daughter off, he was able to live, possibly thanks to the grandchildren his remaining son continuously provided.
What was left for me then? What was keeping me alive?
“Heh, this old man, worried about being lonely, kindly sends pictures every day. He recently went fishing with my father, and now he’s watching fishing channels all day long. Let’s see… To look at these photos, I should get a pair of glasses.”
Saying so, Secretary Jeong clumsily zoomed in on the picture.
He slowly swiped through an array of mundane and peaceful photos, including one of a child holding a remote control and laughing.
Chae Ha, who was watching him with an indifferent gaze, noticed something at that moment.
Secretary Jeong’s finger suddenly stopped midswipe, his expression hardening.
At a glance, it was an unusual expression.
“What’s wrong?”
“Well… Vice President, it’s this…”
“…?”
Chae Ha, who was confused, was handed the cell phone by Secretary Jeong.
On it was a picture of a tilted TV screen.
As expected from a fishing channel, the photo depicted a small island beach as the background.
“Why do you look like that? It seems like a random photo taken by the kid.”
“Here, Vice President. Look at this.”
With a nagging gesture, Secretary Jeong pointed to a corner of the picture.
“This is…”
Chae Ha’s heart sank as he looked at the corner of the screen Secretary Jeong’s fingernail was pointing at.
Beyond the robust fisherman, holding a rod in both hands and laughing heartily, was the profile of a woman walking along the shore.
Although it was just a side view, the face brushing her hair tossed by the wind to one side was unmistakably his wife, Min Seol Won.
“Where… where exactly is this?”
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.
