9 P.M.
Blackstone Partners, Korean branch.
The spacious office located on the 8th floor was empty.
A desk and chair that the former representative used. A few books and decorations that were not taken away.
The three men who were led into that ownerless room only took note of each other in the awkward silence.
The atmosphere was as if they would start a fight for no reason, just like they had done at the police station.
“Do you know what this company does?”
The first to speak was Ki Jin Soo, one of the two sons of Mrs. Lee Kwang Ja, who was still lying in the VIP ward of the hospital.
“How should I know, you idiot. It said something in English. Don’t you know?”
The other son, Ki Chul Soo, snapped at his younger brother, then glanced at the man who had been leaning against the wall.
The owner of the gambling den, Jo Kwang Jung, was a thug with dirty habits.
“Ah, what? You want to have another round?”
“Hey, just shut up!”
Jin Soo approached Kwang Jung with a clenched fist, but his brother, Chul Soo, intercepted him.
“Just stay still for a while! I’m dying trying to figure out how much to ask for!”
“……”
They were just like they were at the police station, their clothes, their actions, everything was the same.
“How much to ask for? By now, your fake money should have been all torn up.”
As Kwang Jung sneered while sniffling, Chul Soo raised his voice glaringly.
“Why are you here? You should be behind bars by now.”
“What? Me? Ha! You sure do speak nicely! Why should I be behind bars? To play with you guys?”
Jin Soo quickly grabbed the waist of Chul Soo, who was charging towards the smirking Kwang Jung.
“Brother, calm down. But are you sure they called us here to give us money? Who did? That glasseswearing lawyer?”
“Why would they call us in the middle of the night if they’re not going to hand us money?”
The eyes of the chattering Chul Soo squinted wickedly.
“Yeah, those girls must have some backing, huh? Speaking of which, those guys outside the door. The ones who brought us here, are they gangsters?”
Ha! Only seeing what he wants to. As Kwang Jung muttered, the brothers who were holding back their anger simultaneously flared their nostrils.
.
.
The same building, 12th floor.
Kwon Jae Ha and Secretary Kang were in a newly decorated office.
“Change the blinds to a darker color, and absolutely do not bring in things like plants. It’s annoying.”
“What’s annoying if you’re not the one taking care of them?”
“Just being alive is annoying. If someone insists on sending them, have them sent to my house.”
“Ah! You mean you’ll let them slowly dry up and die out of sight?”
“You.”
As Jae Ha swiftly turned his body, Secretary Kang pointed toward the entrance with his palm.
“You should go down now.”
.
.
Ding, the elevator stopped at the 8th floor. Secretary Kang, who had followed Jae Ha, asked in a whisper.
“Why did you insist on calling them here?”
Leaving his perfectly good room alone. He got a little closer to his superior, pricking up his ears.
“I didn’t want to abandon my room. Don’t ask obvious questions.”
Seeing him raise his eyebrows so high, he was serious. As expected of Kwon Jae Ha.
“You’re not planning on throwing punches, are you? It’s disgraceful.”
“You still don’t know what’s really disgraceful. Watch carefully today.”
In the dimly lit corridor, half of the lights off as everyone had left work, a low whistle echoed.
It sounded like the whispering of a grim reaper summoning the dead.
Everyday is really precarious in Seoul. It’s like walking on thin ice, holding one’s breath.
Into the view of Secretary Kang, adjusting his glasses, came the figures of the bodyguards.
“No, why did you call those people here? You said it wasn’t for a fight.”
“What would you do if those rat bastards were running rampant in my building?”
Wouldn’t this get so bad that they’d lose their way? Jae Ha tapped his temple with his index finger.
The bodyguards, who had been bowing, opened the door for him, and the building owner walked forward without hesitation.
.
.
“Come closer and take a look.”
Three small pieces of paper were neatly arranged on the heavy wooden desk.
Even from a distance, it was clear they were cheques, but none of the three men dared to approach the desk easily.
For starters, the man sitting at the desk was not a glasseswearing lawyer.
He was tall and slim, but his solid, broad shoulders clearly showed that he had worked out quite a bit.
There was no need to mention his face, and his clothes and shoes too. He was a man from a different world.
Moreover, he was conversing in English with the man standing next to him in a low voice. It made them feel inferior right from the start.
[The rats seem quite ashamed.] Secretary Kang expressed his feelings in English, pretending to take notes.Tap. Tap. Tap. Jae Ha, who was tapping on the desk with the tips of his long fingers, checked the time by raising his wrist.
“I don’t intend to spend more than 10 minutes on this.”
It was a cold, unemotional, monotonous voice.
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.
