‘Why is he here again?’
Having grown curious about Han Jae Oh’s reason for visiting, Chae Yoon unlocked the door and headed to the entrance.
Walking down the hallway, she reached the main door, spotting Jae Oh taking off his shoes to come in.
Burning with curiosity about why he had come, Chae Yoon immediately asked as soon as she saw him.
“Why are you here?”
Jae Oh’s gaze was fixed on Chae Yoon, who had her eyes wide in surprise.
“I had something to say. But, you wear glasses?”
“Oh, they’re safety glasses. For work.”
Chae Yoon responded, taking off her glasses.
Upon which, Jae Oh’s eyebrows furrowed noticeably.
“Work?”
“Yes.”
“You’ve just joined the company, and you’re working on weekends?”
“I haven’t been there long, so there’s a lot to learn.”
Chae Yoon dismissed Jae Oh’s comment nonchalantly.
In the interim, having traversed the corridor into the living room, Chae Yoon posed a question to Jae Oh as he settled on the sofa.
“What would you like to drink?”
“No, I’m fine.”
Even though he declined, Chae Yoon headed to the kitchen to fetch something simple to drink.
With Chae Yoon away from her spot, Jae Oh’s eyes naturally drifted to the laptop placed on the living room table. Trying to discern what Chae Yoon had been working on by looking at the screen, he was suddenly interrupted by a soft thud.
Jae Oh shifted his gaze.
Spotting the water and tea placed in front of him, he lifted his eyes to meet Chae Yoon’s.
“I thought it’d be rude not to offer something…”
Their eyes met, and Chae Yoon gave an awkward smile. Her complexion seemed much better than the day before. Feeling a slight relief seeing her in good spirits, the tightness that had persisted around his mouth eased.
His previously heavy heart felt a little lighter, and Jae Oh took a sip of the water that Chae Yoon had offered.
Then, Chae Yoon’s voice directed at him.
“What did you want to say?”
Setting down his cup, Jae Oh retrieved a white envelope from his suit pocket and placed it before Chae Yoon.
Upon seeing the envelope in his hand, Chae Yoon had a hunch about its contents.
[I’d like the divorce papers by this week.]
Having intuited what Jae Oh was about to discuss, Chae Yoon spoke without even touching the envelope.
“These are the divorce papers?”
“Yes.”
Receiving the anticipated answer, Chae Yoon momentarily stared at the envelope before extracting and unfolding the papers inside.
Seeing his seal stamped on the signature line of the document, Chae Yoon felt an odd sensation.
It was as if she was placing a period at the end of a story that would no longer continue.
‘It’s really over.’
The feeling of it being over seemed both real and unreal. As Chae Yoon intently gazed at the section with Jae Oh’s seal, a deep, low voice caught her attention.
“I’ve thought about it a lot…”
Chae Yoon anticipated that the following words would confirm the appropriateness of the divorce.
After all, she had confessed to him about ending it, and after expressing his regretful feelings, he even brought the signed papers.
Therefore, Chae Yoon intended to nod in agreement even before he finished his sentence.
“I really don’t want to end things with you.”
Caught off guard, Chae Yoon looked at him in astonishment.
“What did you say?”
Jae Oh, observing the surprised Chae Yoon with widened eyes, reasserted his sentiments.
“I said I don’t want to end things with you.”
Even with his further clarification, Chae Yoon remained bewildered.
After blinking blankly for a moment, Chae Yoon raised the divorce papers she was holding and asked,
“Then what is this?”
Jae Oh glanced briefly at the divorce papers bearing his seal, then fixed his gaze on Chae Yoon.
“It signifies respecting your decision.”
“So, we should get divorced?”
“We should, if that’s what you want.”
In a conversation that felt like it was going in circles, he added,
“But only after a month.”
It felt as if they were back to square one.
Dizzy and lost for words, Chae Yoon remained silent.
This wasn’t a matter of time.
She had confessed to let him know that their misalignment stemmed from their hearts moving in different directions.
But now, the man was once again asking for time.
Feeling exasperated by Jae Oh’s inability to grasp the essence, Chae Yoon furrowed her brows and began to speak,
“As I mentioned before, postponing the divorce for a month…”
Trying once again to explain that the divorce wasn’t a matter of time, his voice interrupted her.
“I know. It’s not a problem that time can solve.”
Her eyes, which were previously conveying frustration, widened in astonishment.
‘Did he understand all along?’
Yet, why was he asking for another month? Amidst her bewilderment, she heard unexpected words.
“But, Chae Yoon.”
The informal address of “Chae Yoon” made her already large eyes widen even further.
Into those eyes, a deeper voice than before resounded.
“I can’t be without you.”
It was a clear and resonant tone.
With an unwavering gaze penetrating her vision, Chae Yoon momentarily held her breath and looked at him.
“…….”
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.
