In that fleeting moment, Jae Oh’s pupils turned icy, but it was only for a brief moment.
The once dark eyes softened as they met Chae Yoon’s.
With that, Jae Oh walked towards Chae Yoon, and as soon as the door to the conference room closed, Chae Yoon spoke to him.
“See? I told you not to stare at me back then.”
The conversation from a little while ago was mentioned.
Jae Oh, with a face that seemed somewhat concerned, looked at her and asked, “So, why did you tell me not to stare like that?”
In response to his question about her thoughts, Chae Yoon glanced at Jae Oh briefly and then replied, “In such situations, people might think you’re not doing your job properly and that you’re just hanging out with me.”
“In such situations, people might think that you’re not doing your job properly and that you’re just hanging out with me.”
His lips stretched into a long line.
“Just because of that, you’re in such a state?”
Jae Oh’s words added tension to Chae Yoon’s gaze.
“Just because? I…” She hesitated, as if she was about to add, “You have an image of working harder than anyone else,” but her words were cut short by the presence of Woo Jong, who was standing next to Jae Oh.
It was because of Woo Jong, who was standing next to Jae Oh.
Speaking in front of Woo Jong made her feel a bit uncomfortable, so she tightly sealed her lips. Jae Oh chuckled.
“What’s the matter?”
“Nothing.”
“Oh, come on, tell me.”
Chae Yoon shook her head firmly.
As they continued to walk, they reached the elevator in the hallway.
Since her tightly sealed lips showed no sign of opening even by now, Jae Oh looked at Woo Jong.
“You go down first.”
Woo Jong, who had been standing next to Jae Oh, replied, “Yes,” and entered the emergency exit on the opposite side.
It had nothing to do with Woo Jong, but Chae Yoon’s eyes were bewildered when he sent Woo Jong ahead.
“Why is Secretary Kim…?”
“Now, go ahead and say it. What?”
With Woo Jong already gone, Chae Yoon had nothing more to say. She checked her surroundings to ensure there was no one around before speaking.
“…Your image as a hardworking older brother is good.”
Her voice was quiet as she spoke.
“What did you say? I didn’t hear.”
Jae Oh bent down and brought his ear closer, and after briefly chewing her lips, Chae Yoon repeated, “Your image as a hardworking older brother is good.”
“Being diligent at work…”
Before the sentence could finish, his hand covered Chae Yoon’s face.
His lips, which touched before her wide eyes had a chance to blink, quickly moved away with a faint sound.
Chae Yoon’s face, caught off guard by the unexpected kiss, looked startled.
“Are you crazy?”
“Why? There’s no one around.”
“We have CCTV…”
With another approaching kiss, Chae Yoon’s eyes were filled with tension.
“Oh, why do you keep…!”
“I pay close attention to every detail, even this.”
The face that confidently said it’s okay, to stop worrying, how could it be so self-assured?
In a moment of curiosity about what they believed in to speak like that, strong arms wrapped around the waist.
The arrogant head came even closer.
A strong wave surged in Chae Yoon’s eyes as she saw his face getting closer.
As if she would inevitably end up kissing him if she stayed like this, she slightly tilted her head back, and the sound of the elevator arriving echoed in the air.
“!”
Startled, Chae Yoon pushed Jae Heon away with all her strength and tried to find a place to catch her breath.
In her rapidly darting eyes, she saw the emergency exit stairwell door.
Without further thought, Chae Yoon went inside.
Jae Heon, following the earlier incident, continued to laugh as he watched her disappearing silhouette.
At that moment, the sound of the elevator door opening could be heard.
Simultaneously, the smile disappeared from his face.
With a stern expression, Jae Heon took measured steps toward where Chae Yoon was.
“…….”
The one who got off the elevator was Ho Yeon.
Facing the empty space, Ho Yeon scanned her surroundings.
She had received a message that Jae Oh had left the office shortly after she had arrived. But why couldn’t she see him?
Sensing something amiss, Ho Yeon was about to contact the man who had messaged her.
“Why did you come in here?”
“Well, since you’re here, I came in too.”
“Could you please speak quietly?”
Though not very audible, the voices coming from the emergency exit area caught Ho Yeon’s attention.
Hoyeon headed towards the emergency exit as if she were spellbound.
As she got closer, the conversation became clearer.
“No one got off.”
“Really?”
Hoyeon’s face stiffened upon hearing the voices of the two.
There was no other option.
“Yeah.”
“Ha. Thank goodness.”
The man’s voice was Jae Oh’s, and the woman was Song Chae Yoon.
“Oh, I mean, really. Why have you been like this since earlier? Creating distance between people.”
“Yeah, who only says nice things like that?”
“…Still, since we’re outside, we have to endure it.”
“Yeah, we should endure it… It’s strange, though. Once you do it once, it’s hard to stop.”
Hoyeon’s eyes widened unintentionally as she inadvertently overheard their conversation.
This conversation didn’t sound like that of a couple about to divorce, no matter how you listened to it.
“Why are you talking like that?”
“What do you mean?”
“…Never mind. I’m leaving now. Secretary Kim must be waiting.”
As she said she was leaving, Hoyeon instinctively tried to move away, but the voice that followed held her back.
“Chae Yoon.”
It was a voice dripping with sweetness.
A voice in her head that thought she wouldn’t say it to Han Jae Oh.
“What are you doing?”
“Let’s do it once and then leave.”
Then came the second time.
“Please, hold on a bit.”
“I’ve been holding on since we were in the car.”
“Then, let’s hold on a bit more.”
“I don’t have that much patience. You know that too. You got excited the moment we touched.”
Her head was spinning as she processed the words, even the ones that made her dizzy.
Startled three times in total, Hoyeon’s head was pounding.
“Come here.”
“…”
“Hurry. If I go, I won’t finish quickly.”
Even in her dazed state, the conversation she overheard was difficult to endure.
She felt like she might scream if she stayed here any longer.
Thinking that leaving this place as soon as possible was the best course of action, Hoyeon managed to move her stiff legs.
The elevator carrying the pale-faced Hoyeon descended not long after that.
Shortly afterward, the emergency exit door opened.
Chae Yoon, who came out from inside, had flushed cheeks.
Following Chae Yoon, Jae Oh came out and said, “Should we have dinner at home tonight?”
It was a rather straightforward proposal, expressing a strong desire not to be disturbed by anyone.
Chae Yoon’s head shook faintly as she looked into his eager, restless eyes.
Her face, now adorned with a bright smile, looked lovely.
It was a striking contrast to someone who had been here just a little while ago.
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.
