As I lifted my head, the calm eyes that seemed slightly torn were gazing at me intently. Unable to speak up immediately, I only hesitated with my lips, and then a large hand approached, lightly pressing my lips.
Afterward, it covered from the jaw to the hollow part starting from the ear. Enjoying the warmth, I closed my eyes like a puppy. As I pressed my cheek against my palm, Danmokbi bit my hand, startled.
Looking at Danmokbi as if asking why I avoided, he awkwardly smiled and inquired, “What happened?”
I turned my head horizontally. I wasn’t even sure if the paper doll was really sent by Blood Jung-hyuk, so I didn’t want to make Danmokbi unnecessarily anxious.
“This is our home. What could possibly happen here?”
“Still…”
If Danmokbi asked more, I felt like I might cry for no reason. I shook my head.
‘Talking about it now might only express baseless fears.’
Talking about it at a time when my emotions were weak wouldn’t be helpful. After organizing my thoughts a bit more, I decided to speak to Danmokbi.
Instead of expressing vague fears, I reached out and covered Danmokbi’s face. Danmokbi’s baseline temperature wasn’t high, so I was a bit surprised by the warm sensation on my fingertips.
‘I wonder if he has a fever.’
Now, worry rushed in. Touching various parts of Danmokbi’s face, I asked, “Your face looks a bit red. What happened to you?”
Danmokbi had never been in such pain before, except when he was young. Worriedly looking at Danmokbi, he made a cool expression.
“Oh, Jegalgaju suggested having a drink all of a sudden.”
Alcohol! I got upset.
“Father!!”
This person! It’s been a day or two since Jegalsega arrived, right? As soon as he came, he’s already making him drink!
‘Even before deciding on a son-in-law, shouldn’t you check his drinking habits first? But is it okay to force-feed like this? Danmokbi probably hasn’t even had proper experience drinking.’
Moreover, how much did he make him drink to have such a high fever? When I was about to get up to chase Jegalgaju, Danmokbi tightly held my wrist. Then, with a puppy-like expression, he looked at me.
“Don’t get angry.”
Ugh.
‘Is he doing it on purpose? Such an expression!’
Usually, he has such a calm and cool face, but occasionally, when he lights up his eyes like that, it’s irresistibly charming.
How could I refuse Danmokbi, making such an expression? I obediently sat by Danmokbi’s side. And, carefully massaging his hand, I asked.
“Is your stomach okay? Did Father ignorantly make you drink a lot? Right?”
“It’s okay. I won.”
Danmokbi’s response sounded like a child pouting. Wanting to sigh, I suppressed my complaint.
“I won. Winning or losing isn’t the issue here.”
If such an irrational event were to occur, he should have called me.
Staring at Danmokbi with a stern expression, Danmokbi let out a subdued laugh.
“Haha.”
I was greatly shocked by that laughter.
‘No, Danmokbi, with such a bright smile and laughter without a trace of wrinkles!’
He’s drunk. It was certain. Danmokbi was currently in a state of intoxication.
‘How much did Father make him drink?’
As I inwardly clenched my teeth, Danmokbi suddenly pulled my wrist, which he was holding. Pulled lightly towards him, I stumbled and ended up being embraced by Danmokbi.
He patted me like a bear doll and whispered in a sluggish voice.
“It’s you. It’s good to call me that way.”
“Huh? That…”
How sweet his voice was, making my ears tingle. I blinked dumbly for a while, then added quickly with a rapid tone.
“Yeah, right. That also feels like we’re a married couple.”
“You used to call me ‘Oppa,’ why not anymore?”
“Should I do it now?”
Boldly saying that, I couldn’t muster the courage for a long time. It was awkward to just say ‘Oppa!’ and also awkward to say ‘Danmokbi Oppa!’ I hesitated more.
“Oppa Danmok?”
“Why?”
Though I really struggled to say it, Danmokbi’s response was incredibly gentle. Realizing that everything was once again in Danmokbi’s hands, I covered my face with my palm and mumbled.
“…Embarrassment is my share. That’s right.”
“Haha.”
Again, the sound of laughter was so unpleasant. I glanced at Danmokbi and then rolled my body sideways. It was to escape from Danmokbi’s arms that were hugging me.
“Where are you running off to?”
Danmokbi pulled my waist, hugging me tightly. Then, pulling me up onto his thighs, he asked.
“Why were you squatting like that without even washing? Do you have something to worry about when you’re home?”
“That, uh…”
I pursed my lips. Before I could answer whatever the situation was, Danmokbi made a sulking expression again and said.
“Am I not cute enough?”
Impossible. I answered loudly.
“Absolutely not!”
“Haha.”
In response to my answer, Danmokbi laughed again. His bright face without any wrinkles was different from the usual Danmokbi. I stared at him blankly and then muttered absentmindedly.
“You become cute when you’re drunk.”
“Cute? Me?”
“Yes.”
Embracing Danmokbi while facing him, I used my fingers to tidy up Danmokbi’s messy front hair.
“You were very cute when we first met too. Like a little blanket ghost.”
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.
