Meeting her friend’s eyes, Chae Yoon nodded in understanding.
“Yes, I’ll tell you once it’s settled.”
Chae Yoon, realizing the mood had dampened, raised her beer glass.
“Thanks for your concern. Let’s drop this topic and cheers.”
The three women, hearing Chae Yoon’s attempt to lighten the mood, clinked their glasses with hers.
The heavy atmosphere slowly brightened.
Amidst the chatter, the amount of alcohol consumed steadily increased. At some point, Gayoung sighed.
“Ah, look. She’s drunk.”
“Who?”
“Song Chae Yoon.”
“Already?”
It was just the first round. How could she be?
Hyo Jung, incredulous, looked at Chae Yoon. On the outside, she seemed the same as always.
But having been deceived by Chae Yoon’s seeming sobriety in the past, Hyo Jung tested her,
“Chae Yoon, can I see a photo of your boyfriend?”
With that, Chae Yoon’s eyes, hazy from the alcohol, sparkled mischievously.
“Just a moment.”
Seeing Chae Yoon fumble with her phone, her friends became certain.
“She’s gone.”
“Completely.”
“When did she drink so much on her own?”
“Exactly, she must’ve been sneaking drinks. She’s been sitting there for quite a while.”
It was nearing 10 PM.
Gayoung, thinking they should first send Chae Yoon home before moving elsewhere, approached her.
Checking her phone, Chae Yoon seemed to be doing nothing. Yet, she acted as if she was searching for something.
Thinking it was best to send her home quickly, Gayoung said,
“Chae Yoon, stop this and let’s go home.”
As she tried to take Chae Yoon’s phone, it vibrated.
「Jae Oh Oppa」
Upon seeing the caller ID, Gayoung asked nonchalantly,
“Jae Oh Oppa? Chae Yoon, who is Jae Oh Oppa…”
Gayoung paused and glanced at her friends.
“This… It’s him, right?”
Hyo Jung was entirely convinced that ‘Jae Oh Oppa’ was Chae Yoon’s boyfriend.
“Hey, answer it quickly.”
Swiftly pressing the call button, Gayoung held the phone to her ear.
“Hello?”
[On the line] “I’m not done here… Who are you?”The voice was deep and cold, yet pleasant.
Gayoung’s eyes sparkled with an inexplicable sense of anticipation.
“Ah, I’m Chae Yoon’s friend. Are you by any chance her boyfriend?”
[On the line] “Yes, I am. Is something wrong with Chae Yoon?”Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Ga Young, with her phone covered at the bottom, looked at Hyo Jung and Su Min and whispered very softly, “It’s correct, correct.”
Expectation filled Hyo Jung’s eyes.
Hyo Jung urgently whispered back in a hushed voice, “Tell him to come quickly. Quickly.”
Ga Young nodded her head vigorously and then put her phone to her ear.
[Dash] “Hello?”“Yes. Chae Yoon is very drunk right now. I don’t think she can go home by herself…….”
[Dash] “I’ll be there soon, wait there.”The call ended.
Ga Young placed Chae Yoon’s phone that she had been holding onto the table.
“He’s coming.”
Hearing the excited tone of Ga Young, the expressions of Hyo Jung and Su Min also became animated.
“Really? Wow, I’m finally going to see him… but how does he know where we are?”
“It seems like he knows since he said he’ll be here soon.”
“Really? Did someone guide him? Oh, I hope he arrives quickly.”
Hyo Jung, who had been dying of curiosity to see the man Chae Yoon was meeting, turned her gaze towards Chae Yoon, her heart swelling with anticipation.
The pretty friend, who had many secrets making her heart heavy, was currently unaware of the situation.
Hyo Jung, seeing Chae Yoon blinking her large eyes blankly, stroked her hair and said,
“Chae Yoon, you’re really drunk. You drank well by yourself.”
Upon this, Chae Yoon, who had been staring intently at Hyo Jung, licked her lips.
“I’m not drunk.”
“Okay, sure. You’re not drunk.”
Chae Yoon furrowed her white brows after hearing the half-hearted reply.
“What’s that? Are you drunk? But where did my phone go…”
Hyo Jung smiled slyly at Chae Yoon, who couldn’t even find her phone right next to her.
At this rate, the mysterious man coming here wouldn’t see Chae Yoon sobering up.
Just as Hyo Jung was about to take a sip of her drink, her gaze was captured by a man entering the place and looking around.
Hyo Jung tapped Ga Young, who was sitting next to her, and said,
“Hey, hey, look at that man. Wow…”
In the moment when she thought such a being existed in the world, the man put his phone to his ear, seemingly calling his friends.
Then, Ziiing, Chae Yoon’s phone on the table vibrated long.
Entranced by the unfamiliar man, Hyo Jung and Ga Young, without taking their eyes off him, said,
“Hey, Chae Yoon, I think you got a call, answer it quickly.”
Finally noticing her phone at the sound of the vibration, Chae Yoon answered the call.
“Hello? I’m here now, but why are you asking? Huh? Here?”
At Chae Yoon’s last words, the eyes of the three friends, which had been fixed on the unfamiliar man, turned to Chae Yoon.
Unaware that her friends’ attention was now on her, Chae Yoon quickly turned her head to look towards the entrance.
Seeing Han Jae Oh approaching, a smile spread on Chae Yoon’s lips.
“Huh? It’s Han Jae Oh.”
The three friends, who had been staring as if entranced at the man just moments ago, opened their mouths wide in surprise.
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.
