The highend sedan of Roan Yul’s top lawyer was so quiet, even the engine sound.
Yeon Woo’s eyes, which were only shooting at the street trees passing outside the car window, were rolling as if even the sound of rolling could be heard.
The air gradually became stuffy. Yeon Woo cautiously broke the heavy silence.
“Have you had dinner, Counselor?”
“Yes.”
“I see.”
“······.”
“······.”
“Do you often go to these kinds of parties?”
“Almost never.”
“I see.”
“······.”
No matter what she said, it was awkward itself. It seemed better to talk about work at the company.
Yeon Woo, sitting upright, abandoned the small talk she was trying to carry on with difficulty and shut her mouth tightly.
So, for a while, only the idle atmosphere continued.
The boring air with only the sound of Yeon Woo tapping her knee with her nails, and Jun Hwi occasionally changing gears smoothly.
“Do you want to listen to some music?”
In such silence, he turned to Yeon Woo and asked.
“If there’s something that fits my taste.”
“Oh, you listen to CDs.”
No way. All the CDs piled up where he gestured were exactly Yeon Woo’s taste itself.
“Wow, Counselor, do you listen to British rock?”
“Only the old band.”
“Me too, me too! Wow! This is C Play’s debut album. Few people know their debut song! I listened to all of it. I even went to their concert in Korea in 2019 for two days.”
Yeon Woo’s big eyes grew even rounder. The excited her, like a teenage girl, was not the rigid and businesslike Kim Yeon Woo that Jun Hwi knew.
Suddenly, a lively chatter filled the car over the warm air. Jun Hwi paused and withdrew his hand that was about to press the play button.
Yeon Woo’s cheek, full of vitality while looking at the CD, was swollen plumply. A light spot marked on the left cheek caught his eye.
Whenever she smiled slightly, whenever she said a word, that spot on her cheek moved along.
How did he not know, though he saw her face every day? That the small movement is so interesting that he couldn’t take his eyes off.
“The second guitar string broke on the second day and the performance was temporarily stopped.”
“That’s right. Singing along without accompaniment! Ah······. It was really fun.”
Woah! Yeon Woo, who was excitedly rummaging through the CDs, suddenly let out a loud noise. Jun Hwi’s eyebrows twitched for a moment.
“Is this the main vocal’s signature? Did you get a signature when they came to Korea?”
“A British lawyer I know has a connection, so I received it when I greeted them after the performance.”
“Counselor, I’m really jealous.”
She’s not a child. Is that something to stretch your face out so jealously?
“Do you want a signed CD?”
“Wow, no. Such a precious thing.”
“If not, never mind.”

He knew it was a mere polite refusal but he had cut it off abruptly nonetheless. He was curious about her reaction. Seeing her protruding in disappointment, Jun Hwi almost laughed.
He stopped teasing her and handed the CD to Yeon Woo.
“May I take it?” Her large, hesitant eyes trembled in front of the tantalizing CD before her small hand quickly grabbed it.
“Thank you, Counselor.”
“Yes.”
“Are you really giving it to me?”
“Yes, take it.”
Ah. An unexpected find. Happy! Yeon Woo who exclaimed in joy held the precious CD tightly to her chest.
“I didn’t know you were interested in music, Counselor. Even in bands.”
“Why? Can’t I listen to music too?”
“That’s not it.”
Her gaze flickered to Jun Hwi’s face in profile.
“Honestly, um, popular music doesn’t suit the image of a counselor. I can’t even imagine you going to a concert.”
She seemed to want to continue the lighthearted conversation. Jun Hwi did not dislike the bold joke she threw while examining his expression.
“I am a human too. I have my tastes, and I know how to enjoy good things.”
“Yes, yes.”
“What’s with that response?”
“No, no. It’s just interesting having this kind of conversation not with a friend but with a counselor.”
Indeed. The meaning was instantly clear. Jun Hwi had no opportunities or need to share his private sphere with others.
Today, even that was a series of surprises.
What could be the cause? Jun Hwi turned his head to find a reason. His gaze met with Yeon Woo’s, who was looking at him blankly.
“If I made you uncomfortable, I apologize.”
The one who avoided eye contact first, she retreated one step back across the crossed line and returned to her place.
The boundary between them, which had blurred for a moment, was once again clearly defined.
“…”
He neither affirmed nor denied. He just swapped the CD that Yeon Woo had been fiddling with the one in the player and pressed the play button.
The deep bass of the rock beat filled the space, thankfully making the remaining time pass quickly.
Occasionally, Yeon Woo’s quiet humming was laid over the melody. As they shared a common topic, they even had a small conversation, and before they knew it, the car entered the destination parking lot.
“Uh, Counselor.”
As soon as he parked the car in reverse within the parking line and turned off the engine, Yeon Woo carefully called 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.
