Jaeyoon’s parents spent a night in the large room provided by Jaeyoon’s parents, and the next day, the two families boarded a ship headed for the mainland.
The reason for this unexpected and large-scale move was to carry out the ancestral rites for Seolwon’s father, which had been postponed until now.
Despite the unplanned nature of this significant relocation, the extended family, especially Woojoo, expressed great joy.
They arrived at the National Cemetery, where the firefighters’ section is located. After a moment of contemplation, Chaeha’s family and Jaeyoon’s family stood in a line, facing the portrait of Seolwon’s father.
Indeed, a firefighter with high principles, unafraid in the face of noble life, was present.
“Woojoo, say hello. He’s your mom’s dad.”
“Hmm? Mom’s dad?”
“Yes. To Woojoo, I’m like a great-grandfather.”
“Great-grandfather…”
Uttering the words with a small voice, Woojoo approached the photo. Then, she crouched down and earnestly looked at the picture.
“Hello, great-grandfather. Woojoo is here~.”
“…”
“Woojoo is five years old. Nice to meet you, great-grandfather. I missed you.”
Trying to hold back the imminent sadness, Seolwon swallowed hard. Her father had left when she was an elementary school student, and much time had passed since then. Her daughter had grown up, and now she had a son to bring.
Jaeyoon’s mother, whose eyes had turned red with emotion, affectionately placed her hand on Woojoo’s shoulder.
“Woojoo, isn’t it nice to see your great-grandfather?”
“Yes! I really really like it! He’s the bravest firefighter in the world~.”
Overwhelmed with emotions, she couldn’t say anything more. In the mixed expression of emotions, her unspoken feelings were deeply contained.
In the midst of conflicting emotions, all the unspoken feelings were deeply contained in her expression.
Placing a hand on his wife’s shoulder, Jaeyoon’s father took an oath on behalf of Seolwon.
“We will watch over the happiness of Seolwon and Woojoo.”
“…For the grace of saving us, I will never forget it, Firefighter Min.”
Standing silently behind, Chaeha and Jaeyoon were also harboring the same thoughts.
Grateful for this profound connection, they vowed to cherish it.
After completing the ancestral rites, Chaeha and Seolwon decided to spend the night at the villa.
It wasn’t far from the National Cemetery, making it a convenient choice.
Perhaps it was due to a day like this.
For the first time, Chaeha suggested cooking for them.
Given that they were going to the villa, Woojoo, who usually enjoyed picnics, lit up even more at the prospect.
“Wow~ I want to eat something delicious, Dad!”
“Sure. What do you want to eat, my son? Just tell me, and I’ll make it for you.”
“Yeah. I want a Gomdol (bear) lunchbox, Dad!”
“A Gomdol… lunchbox?”
At the pure and innocent lunchbox request, Chaeha threw a discreet glance of help to Seolwon.
Somehow finding it cute, Seolwon’s lips curved into a round smile.
“It’s a cute rice ball shaped like a bear. You make it by frying rice and creating ears and a face with cheese and ham, and then draw eyes with seaweed.”
“Yeah! Yesol showed it off, saying her mom made it. It was super super cute.”
“Hmm. A Gomdol lunchbox…”
Looking at Chaeha’s hand on the steering wheel, Seolwon felt tension. Seeing her father’s muscular forearm and unusually long fingers, she concluded that making a cute Gomdol lunchbox with those hands would be a challenge.
“I’ll make it if you buy the ingredients.”
“Can you really do that? I promised our son that I would make it for him.”
“Woojoo, do you want to eat a Gomdol lunchbox made by Dad?”
“Yeah! I really want Dad’s special Gomdol lunchbox!”
“Heard that?”
“…”
Thinking it might be the same pattern again, Seolwon remained silent.
Lately, Woojoo had been persistently asking for something ‘Dad-style,’ and Chaeha was determined to accomplish and show it off to Seolwon.
In such situations, there was only one answer. Surrender.
“Alright. But you have to make it delicious.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll make a special Gomdol lunchbox just for you.”
“Hmm~? I want a special special special Gomdol lunchbox too!”
“Okay. Our son is an extra-extra-extra special Gomdol!”
Childish yet endearing conversations continued throughout the journey.
On the way back from the memorial service, Chaeha suggested making another stop.
It was none other than the elementary school where Seolwon used to go.
“Why did you bring us here? It looks empty with nothing around.”
It was exactly as she said.
When Seolwon was young, there were quite a few students, but now, young parents had moved to the city in droves, resulting in a drastic reduction in the number of children.
As a result, the playground was worn out, and the building’s exterior revealed the passage of time.
However, whether seen differently through the eyes of a child, Woojoo was excitedly running around the field, full of energy.
“Just because, I was curious about the place you used to go when you were young.”
Saying so, Chaeha gently took Seolwon’s hand as if embracing it.
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.

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.
