Jae-ha’s house in Chelsea, New York, is a six-story condo.
Built in 1900, the building boasts an impressive exterior and a large scale of about 200 square meters.
On the ground floor and the basement, there is the New York branch of the world-famous luxury brand “H,” and above that, four floors are occupied by tenants, while Jae-ha, the owner, uses the top floor.
There’s no special reason for staying in that house.
It’s just conveniently close to Midtown Manhattan, where Jenice’s apartment and company building are located.
“…….”
At 1 AM, closing the book he was reading, Jae-ha stood up and looked down at the still-awake city from his spot.
Chelsea is a spacious, quiet, yet vibrant neighborhood.
Economically comfortable seniors coexist with young people who enjoy the arts. Upscale restaurants and bars overflow, and galleries abound, creating a lively atmosphere.
With rental income and a structure where the building’s value is skyrocketing, it’s a place to be reckoned with.
Still, compared to Greenwich Village where he met Chae Sun-woo two days ago, it’s not close.
“Ha……”
He pretended to have forgotten it.
He spent the last two days pretending not to know and smiling.
Turning away from the window, Jae-ha briskly walked out of the study.
Passing through the dim living room to the kitchen in one step, he quickly took out a whiskey bottle and found an empty glass.
“…….”
Today, the book didn’t catch his eye at all.
All because of Chae Sun-woo he saw two days ago.
Damn it… Jae-ha swallowed the whiskey in one gulp, remembering that day.
“Hello! I heard you returned to New York, but what a coincidence…”
“Yes, it’s been a while since I came back.”
Jae-ha calmly responded as he watched Park Sang-ah disappear, holding a box of cupcakes.
And just as he was about to say his farewell and convey his greetings, “I had some expectations, but the housing prices here are really astonishing.”
The touch of Sun-woo’s cheek being scratched by the back of his head was still fresh in his memory.
Having passed his hand over his disheveled hair, Jae-ha felt that there was no need to act coldly.
“Do you know about houses? I remember hearing that you live near the hospital.”
“…Ah, that.”
After hearing the answer, the story he brought out wasn’t about the real estate[Dash]expressionless Jae-ha took out his wallet from the side table. Then he handed a business card to Sun-woo.
“I have an acquaintance who works in real estate. They will help you find a decent house at an absurdly low price.”
Looking at the business card with the name and phone number of a real estate agent for a moment, Sun-woo spoke.
“…Our wedding date has been set. And although it’s a bit far from the hospital… I want Min-ah and the baby to live in a good environment.”
“……!”
“Yes, I’m pregnant. We thought about it, trying to be open with our parents… But now we’re reconsidering.”
He awkwardly smiled, scratching the back of his head again.
As he spoke those words, it felt like swallowing sand, stinging his throat. Tears seemed to well up.
How was Eun-jo? She must have been happy; her younger brother had a baby.
…Did it hurt? Her chest… probably crumbled.
[Oh, Da-on is doing well. And Eun-jo, too.] […Yes.]
It was just a perfunctory nod and a casual farewell; the words ‘let’s meet again’ were unlikely to come true.
“…….”
In narrow New York, unless it was a coincidence like that day.
Such a coincidence was hoped to be a one-time, first, and last.
“Ha……”
Jae-ha, who hoped for such a coincidence, nevertheless called a real estate agent.
Among his buildings, he checked for any vacancies or ones soon to be vacant and picked out several suitable places.
And he instructed to rent them to Sun-woo, a man named Choi, at the least cost. Of course, he also didn’t forget to tell him the appropriate reasons and keep the information about the landlord secret.
He thought of it as a very small favor that he could do for Da-on, even if he had to consider her.
But not long after hanging up, he remembered what Eun-jo had said.
[If Min-ah marries Sun-woo, the two of them should raise Da-on. At first, the child may experience confusion… But still, since Min-ah is the birth mother, and Sun-woo will be a really good dad.]Eun-jo’s face when she said that. Her voice…
It was just like my casually squeezed ‘Congratulations.’
“Yun Eun-jo, like a fool… It’s really not going to be like that. If it is, you won’t be able to live.”
Jae-ha, who emptied the refilled glass in one gulp, gritted his teeth. What should I do about Eun-jo?
The hand gripping the back of the dining chair trembled thinly.
A guy as good as Choi Sun-woo, someone who’s interested in you, is around you.
Someone like Lee Won-young… You and Da-on, too…
Now, the trembling hand grabbed the bottle, and the empty glass was immediately filled with amber liquid.
The night Da-on was put to sleep.
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.
