Jae-oh, leaning back against the chair, stared at Woo-jong as if questioning the meaning behind his words.
“When I reported to you about Ms. Chae-yoon and Mr. Jung, you didn’t say anything, so I thought it was over as it was.”
As Woo-jong explained, Jae-oh finally responded.
“How can I call her when Ms. Chae-yoon doesn’t say anything.”
The day Chae-yoon suddenly canceled lunch plans.
Jae-oh attributed the trouble with Assistant Director Jung to the reason Chae-yoon canceled plans with him.
So, that’s why he went looking for her. He didn’t want to be alone.
As expected, Chae-yoon’s lunch appointment was a lie. Not only that, she didn’t explain why she lied.
Jae-oh felt, looking at the closed lips, that the distance between him and Chae-yoon was quite apparent.
The wall of accumulated emotions due to his own indifference felt bitter, but it was an inevitable situation, so he just let it go.
He had imagined at some point that if he tried hard, Chae-yoon would eventually confide in him with her troubles.
How good would it be if she relied on me?
The situation that felt breathless with just imagination was about to become a reality soon.
“I might find it difficult, but you can do it, right, Oppa?”
Eyes filled with trust for me.
The emotion he felt when he first saw it was truly…
The sigh that escaped from Jae-oh’s lips, recalling the emotion that made his reason fly away at once, was faint.
A thick lump of emotion settled heavily in his throat, then found its place.
While doing so, when wrinkles formed on the even forehead, Jae-oh stood up abruptly.
Woo-jong’s eyes widened at Jae-oh’s sudden actions.
“Where are you going?”
Ignoring Woo-jong’s question, Jae-oh opened the office door.
Jae-oh headed straight for Chae-yoon’s desk, as if it were something he couldn’t afford not to see right away. With eager eyes, he walked briskly, and the distance with Chae-yoon narrowed in an instant.
Sensing someone’s presence, Chae-yoon looked up. Confirming that it was Jae-oh who came to see her, her large pupils dilated even more.
“Why are you here?”
Jae-oh met her curious and talkative eyes with a deep gaze.
Ah, I want to hold her in my arms and touch her freely right away. No, can I just keep holding her? Even then, it seems insufficient.
Jae-oh, who even felt a sense of regret for every moment he couldn’t see Chae-yoon, felt a burning thirst.
Swallowing saliva as if choking on his throat, along with the sound of tapping on the desk, a delicate voice reached Jae-oh’s ears.
“Why did you come out?”
The intensely burning pupils stared at Chae-yoon sharply.
After thoroughly scanning her pretty but determined face, elegant neck, and well-defined collarbone, Jae-oh said.
“Just because I suddenly wanted to see you.”
In a more substantial tone than he expected, Chae-yoon’s eyes momentarily stopped, frozen in surprise.
It hadn’t even been an hour since he left the office, not even 30 minutes, and now barely 10 minutes. Yet why did this man seem like he hadn’t seen her for days?
Unable to understand, Chae-yoon blinked her eyes.
Seeing Chae-yoon, who was momentarily surprised and stopped, Jae-oh, after glancing around, said.
“There’s no one here.”
To say that there was no one felt a bit too obvious, as Woo-jong looked quite conspicuous. Although he was avoiding their gaze, he was still there. Regardless, Chae-yoon, focusing her eyes, said.
“Are you going to keep doing this outside?”
“Do you not like it? Then come in.”
Jae-oh slightly nodded his head, indicating his own office.
Upon hearing this, Chae-yoon’s round eyes glanced subtly elsewhere.
If she planned to continue working here, it would be good to have a separate space from the secretaries. However, that space couldn’t be Jae-oh’s office.
The reason was simple. She couldn’t trust herself to resist the tempting Jae-oh, and she couldn’t believe that she kept yielding to him.
[You’re holding up well.]The incident that happened a few days ago in Jae-oh’s office flashed in Chae-yoon’s mind, and her heartbeat accelerated.
Thump, thump. In the heat of the surging hot blood, Chae-yoon felt like her face would flush instantly, so she quickly shook her head to dispel the scenes rapidly invading her mind.
Indeed, sharing his office with him was not an option.
Having made up her mind, Chae-yoon gazed at Jae-oh. Instead of just gazing, their eyes met directly, and fearing that he might read her thoughts, Chae-yoon hastily looked at any part of Jae-oh’s face and intended to tell him to go in quickly and do his work. However, something smeared on his cheek caught Chae-yoon’s attention.
Upon closer inspection, lipstick marks became visible.
Realizing that it was her own trace, Chae-yoon sighed deeply and reached for a tissue.
Standing up and pulling out a tissue, Chae-yoon handed it to Jae-oh and whispered softly.
“There’s lipstick on your cheek, so wipe it off.”
“Lipstick?”
“Yeah, on your left cheek.”
“Why is there lipstick…”
The kiss Chae-yoon gave him came to mind, and Jae-oh’s mouth curled mischievously.
Upon seeing the tissue in Chae-yoon’s hand, Jae-oh quickly turned around and headed for his office.
“Hey, where are you going when I told you to wipe it off?”
“Leave it.”
Leave it? What is there to leave?
Hearing an unreasonable remark, Chae-yoon widened her eyes and followed Jae-oh, blocking his way.
“Wipe it off. Quickly.”
“Why?”
“Why? Are you going to walk around like this?”
“Didn’t you do this to my cheek for that reason?”
“No, so wipe it off quickly.”
Her firm voice rang out sharply, but Jae-oh paid no attention and passed by Chae-yoon.
Unable to stand it, Chae-yoon hurriedly ran to him and blocked his way again. Since he seemed unwilling to do it himself, she reached out to wipe his cheek with her hand, but her outstretched wrist was caught by his hand.
“Where are you going?”
With ease, Jae-oh’s mouth stretched long, preventing Chae-yoon from reaching him.
“If you did it on my lips, it would’ve been better.”
Then he would’ve sucked it in very nicely.
The whispering voice was dangerously suggestive.
Sensing that staying like this could lead to a precarious situation, Chae-yoon, who realized that she was standing in her office just now, decided it was time to go back.
The sound of the door closing, clunk, resonated.
“Ah…”
Only then did ripples appear in Chae-yoon’s pupils as she realized that she was in her office.
‘When did he come in here?’
Blaming herself for being distracted by the lipstick on his cheek, Chae-yoon, who sensed a wave, was just about to head back to her seat when Jae-oh approached her closely.
A stimulating fragrance wafted through the air. Chae-yoon’s heart started to beat on its own as she momentarily held her breath and looked up at him.
Meeting eyes with Chae-yoon, Jae-oh stretched his mouth and lowered his head.
Instead of overlapping their lips, he willingly offered his left cheek. Holding Chae-yoon’s hands firmly, he said generously.
“Now, wipe it off.”
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.
