Simple and concise, those five characters carried a strong impression. On the day when Yeonwoo’s frustration was left unacknowledged, Kwon Junhwi, who had not provided any comfort, overlapped with the person he used to be.
Look at this. He’s still only thinking about himself. Did he expect me to obediently agree when he suggested having a straightforward conversation like that? ‘I don’t want to. No way.’
Yeonwoo fiercely closed the blinking messenger window by pressing the X button. Then, he nonchalantly returned to his work.
After some time had passed, the office door at the end of the hallway opened, and threatening footsteps echoed. Just from the sound of the footsteps, it seemed clear who it was.
“Assistant Manager Kim Yeonwoo.”
Junhwi, who walked briskly to Yeonwoo’s seat, pushed out a dry voice.
“Yes, Attorney Kwon.”
“Haven’t you seen it?”
“What are you talking about?”
Pretending not to know on purpose, Yeonwoo didn’t look at him, but Junhwi glanced at Soojin, who was sitting behind. Although he couldn’t say it out loud, he conveyed his displeasure with a stern gaze. Yet, Yeonwoo pretended not to see it again.
“Never mind.”
“Yes, I’m fine.”
Just as Yeonwoo’s phone rang, Junhwi made an uncomfortable expression, then quickly left the office.
The next day.
Having been blatantly rejected in the conversation proposal, Junhwi seemed to change his approach. The problem was that the changed approach didn’t suit Yeonwoo either.
“What’s this, Assistant Manager? Did you order refreshments for an event?”
As soon as he arrived at work, colorful macarons emitting a sweet scent were placed on Yeonwoo’s desk. The scale was so large that the huge box surprised Soojin, who arrived first.
‘This man is unbelievable!’
Moreover, these macarons had a story.
They were the same product as the ones he had put on Yeonwoo’s desk without saying a word about the coffee, without an apology, a while ago.
“Well, um… I received it as a gift, so let’s share it together.”
“Can you share something so precious? This store is still very popular. I heard they can barely survive by doing open runs these days.”
His thoughts became complicated. Although he understood that it was his sincere intention, it felt strangely hurtful.
If he treated it lightly with something to eat, would it be possible to let it pass? This thought crossed his mind.
Without even opening the box, Yeonwoo took it straight to the break room. ‘Anyone can have some.’ He wanted to attach a note but resisted the urge.
It seemed like Junhwi saw the macarons abandoned in the break room. The next day, he came up with a different strategy and made Yeonwoo feel uncomfortable again.
“Stucky?”
“Succulent?”
“I don’t know the name of this one. What about this, Assistant Manager?”
When he arrived at work, Yeonwoo found his desk full of various plants inside a large glass bottle. The two attorneys and Soojin were busy trying to guess the names of the plants.
A colorful terrarium was placed on Yeonwoo’s desk. Inside the hexagonal glass vase, there were various small plants, making it look like a healing piece. It was so fresh and beautiful that just looking at it made one feel healed.
He gave that during the ongoing cold war.
“This is something I can’t share with others.”
He couldn’t just discard a living plant. To provide water and light, it had to be placed prominently on the desk. Then, every time he looked at it, he’d think of Kwon Junhwi. After all, he couldn’t get angry at the plant!
Yeonwoo, thinking carefully about the item he had to have in front of him, chose something that he thought would appeal to him. He almost burst into laughter.
This simple yet intelligent man seemed to have no intention of figuring out the ‘real cause.’
As for the engagement with Im Nayoon, Yeonwoo knows everything, that’s a given. If only he apologized for interpreting the relationship with Kim Seungho strangely. Oh, right! It was Yeonwoo who first said, ‘I don’t want to talk.’ ‘I didn’t have a chance to apologize…’
No, no! There are various ways. There are emails and text messages. This was the realm of courtesy, not something to choose when picking an item.
Because of the strange gifts, he hoped he wouldn’t turn into an easygoing person.
His head was pounding in various ways. Yeonwoo let out a light sigh.
As the cold war with him continued, it felt like his heart was splitting like ice, bitter and cold.
So, another day passed.
“What did he put out today?”
While applying highlighter to his dark circles, Yeonwoo unknowingly anticipated his next idea.
“Wow, look at this. It gets tangled like this?”
Then, startled, he muttered to himself.
If he didn’t pull himself together, he felt like he would fall for his persistent bait.
Don’t let your guard down. Kwon Junhwi is a truly scary man.
…But this determination seemed in vain. When he saw the item on his desk today, Yeonwoo was horrified and almost ran to his room.
What looked like a square side dish container revealed a doubt-inducing red-hued Yukhoe with well-mixed seasoning under the glass lid.
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.
