Seoha, also drinking after a long time, quickly got tipsy. Due to the alcohol, her face turned red. Kyuwon approached her next to the veranda.
“Are you okay?”
“Huh? Yes. Yes.”
“If it’s not okay, just say it’s not okay. Taekyung is gruff and has a dirty personality, but he’s unexpectedly a pure-hearted man. That’s because of his appearance. Haha.”
“He seems like an old friend.”
“Yes. It turned out that way. Taekyung may not be attentive, but once he gives his heart, he’s a generous guy who takes off everything. Well, except for the money.”
“…….”
Kyuwon looked at Seoha, and their eyes met. He continued speaking earnestly. Seoha felt awkward, but she couldn’t avoid it.
“Taekyung went through a lot when Seoha left. He even cut ties with the chairman and left HY Group. Thanks to that, I was able to start a company with Taekyung now.”
“Yes…….”
“I really hope the two of them are happy. Minjun too.”
“Thank you.”
Kyuwon hesitated but spoke calmly.
“And Chairman, I feel like you always carry a sense of debt toward Taekyung. I’m worried if there’s any misunderstanding between Seoha, you, and Taekyung, causing each other harm to protect one another.”
“……. ”
Seoha couldn’t respond to Kyuwon’s words.
A relationship that seems to know each other the best but, paradoxically, hurts each other.
Is that them? Hence, a more fearful relationship.
Kyuwon awkwardly smiled, scratching the back of his head.
“I overstepped my bounds. Don’t stay outside too long in the cold. If Seoha catches a cold, Taekyung won’t come out of the office. Haha. I’ll go in first.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
Seoha greeted lightly. Kyuwon smiled warmly and entered indoors.
The cold winter air touched Seoha’s cheeks. She didn’t mind the chill. It felt like waking up from a sweet dream.
She had momentarily forgotten about the unresolved relationship with Hyeonyoung.
Seoha felt bitter hearing about Taekyung sacrificing HY Group, which is, her mother for her sake.
Between Minjun and Taekyung, she chose Minjun, the one with her blood. However, Taekyung chose Seoha over her own mother, Hyeonyoung.
Seoha felt sorry to both Taekyung and Hyeonyoung. She sighed deeply and folded her bitter emotions neatly.
When she returned to the living room, Taekyung and Kyuwon were tidying up, and Hyojae lay on the sofa, apparently drunk.
Seoha, with a worried voice, spoke to Hyojae.
“Hyojae, should you stay here?”
“There are plenty of rooms. It’s okay.”
As Taekyung responded, Kyuwon sat down on the sofa, casually announcing.
“I want to sleep and go home. It’s too hard to leave. Do you mind if I stay?”
“Our house isn’t an inn. Huh?”
“Since you’re offering, let’s go for the full course.”
“Oh, you guys. Take one room each over there. Why is Hyojae so heavy?”
While Taekyung grumbled, Seoha supported Hyojae along with him.
Hyojae awkwardly smiled, scratching the back of her head. She embraced Seoha, and they laughed together. Thanks to that, Seoha swayed under Hyojae’s weight. Taekyung seemed annoyed, finally separating Hyojae from Seoha and entering the room with her.
Kyuwon watched worriedly as Hyojae, guided by Taekyung and Seoha, entered the room.
Taekyung, coming out of the room, teased Kyuwon with a playful look.
“Do you have feelings for Hyojae?”
“What are you talking about!”
“The way you look at Hyojae is strange. Be careful. That look is like your first love Min… well.”
Taekyung, abruptly silenced by Kyuwon covering his mouth, couldn’t continue speaking.
“Tsk! Don’t tell Hyojae!”
“Alright.”
Taekyung waved his hand dismissively.
Kyuwon pulled Taekyung, who was tidying up, into an embrace. Taekyung shivered in surprise.
“Oh, what’s this? You’re disgusting.”
“Be happy, you.”
Kyuwon said indifferently. Taekyung, feeling embarrassed, awkwardly turned the conversation.
“Why are you like this? You’re quite drunk. Go inside and sleep.”
Kyuwon raised the corners of his mouth, released Taekyung’s arms, and spoke.
“Sure, you sleep too. Take care of Seoha. I’m going in.”
Kyuwon lightly patted Taekyung’s back and entered the room.
Taekyung laughed at Kyuwon’s behavior.
Hyeongjin stomped on the cigarette he had in his mouth and crushed it with his foot.
He was waiting for someone in the underground parking lot of HY Group headquarters.
A young woman in a light beige coat walked out, and Hyeongjin quickly followed her.
Making sure there was no one around, he cautiously called out to her in a low voice.
“Ms. Jinyu.”
Yuna was startled and stopped in her tracks. She turned around and spotted Hyeongjin, her face stiffening.
Like a cat with its fur standing on end, she tensely set her nerves on edge.
“Wh-who are you?”
“We might need to have a little chat, don’t you think?”
“I have nothing to say.”
Yuna, hands trembling with fear, quickened her pace. She wanted to run as fast as possible, but she couldn’t provoke this man.
Hyeongjin chuckled. His lingering figure sent shivers down her spine.
“Indeed? Can I help you with the marriage to Hantae-kyung?”
At the mention of Taekyung’s name, Yuna stopped in her tracks. She turned her head slowly toward Hyeongjin.
Then, she glanced around.
“What are you talking about?”
“I’m the one who married Kim Seoha’s mother. I can help you.”
Yuna’s pupils shook intensely. She didn’t expect to hear Kim Seoha’s name from this man. Hyeongjin nodded subtly.
Yuna thought this wasn’t the place to discuss such matters openly. Although this man seemed dangerous, she felt she had to hear him out. If played well, he might become quite useful.
“Let’s talk outside. Come to the cafe in front of the company since I can’t trust you entirely.”
Yuna spoke calmly, trying to appear composed. Then, she entered the company building with a haughty air.
Hyeongjin muttered to himself with a pitiful expression.
“Pride, self-esteem… I’ll indulge you. I’ll make the princess open her purse; there’s no choice.”
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.
