Somehow succumbing to Professor Choi Taehyuk’s persistence, and just as the thought of trying out a relationship arose, her father found out about them due to Juah’s meddling. This caused a storm, and before she knew it, talk of marriage was in the air.
Anyway, Professor Choi Taehyuk was of the right age to get married, but Nayoung began to question if she was at the right age for marriage.
As Professor Choi Taehyuk’s proposal was delayed day by day, her worries deepened.
What if they got married now, and she became pregnant during the residency?
That would be a tremendous life twist compared to mere dating.
Nayoung shuddered at the thought of going through the residency process while pregnant.
Indeed, that was unrealistic.
Yet, if she postponed marriage now, she felt anxious about how her father would react.
In that case, engagement rather than marriage was also an option.
When she had set her life plan up to that point, Taehyuk contacted her.
Although she seemed to be the one making the first move, thinking about receiving a proposal made Nayoung feel as light as a feather.
Tomorrow seemed to mark a romantic new chapter in her life.
Nayoung held onto a teddy bear and spoke, “How will Tiger Dad propose?”
She learned from Seunghee that they went to buy the ring together, but Seunghee didn’t disclose where they were going.
“Surely, Hongsik must have arranged something.”
Nayoung guessed everything on her own and chuckled.
She had never used the phrase “happy” so easily in her life, but at this moment, she felt a sense of happiness.
It was as if the rain that had been falling for a long time had stopped, and sunlight was shining through the clouds.
Nayoung tightly embraced the teddy bear. She didn’t want to let go of this happiness.
Taehyuk looked up at the clear sky.
“Why am I anxious when the weather is so nice?”
There were hardly any days when the weather was good when he went on a picnic. He used to think that even the sky didn’t favor him, but today, the day of the proposal, was so sunny.
“Professor.”
Upon hearing Nayoung’s voice, Taehyuk lowered his head and saw her in a white dress like a wedding dress. His heart warmed up instantly.
Already, her skin was so transparent that her veins showed through, and with the dress, she looked noble and pure like the first snow.
He forcibly suppressed the desire that surged within him.
Today was the day of the proposal.
He had to be a gentleman from start to finish.
“Where are we going today?”
As Nayoung approached and asked, her voice was as soft as cotton candy.
Taehyuk opened the passenger door.
“You’ll find out when we get there.”
When Nayoung didn’t ask him to teach her as well, she gave him a slight glance and got into the car.
Taehyuk got into the driver’s seat and started the car right away.
“Do you want to listen to some music?”
Seeing him say something he had never said before, Nayoung chuckled briefly.
“Yes, go ahead and play something.”
Taehyuk reached out and pressed the play button on the car’s audio.
Will you marry me~
As the lyrics started playing, Nayoung burst into laughter.
“Are you trying to brainwash me with this song?”
“I played it because I like the song.”
Taehyuk held his ground.
After that, the song continued to play, filled with proposal lyrics.
Nayoung was surprised to learn that there were so many proposal songs in Korea.
As she continued to listen, her heart felt uplifted.
And the car was heading towards Gangwon Province.
“Are we going to that beach again?”
“Yes.”
That’s where Taehyuk had asked Nayoung to open her heart to him.
And today, he would propose to her to get married.
“Then, this time, will you come to see the sunrise?”
When she expressed her desire to see the sunrise, Taehyuk nodded happily.
If it meant getting married, he would do anything.
“Then let’s stay at a hotel with a view of the sea today.”
As that sounded good too, Nayoung nodded willingly.
“Because of you, I’ll be going to the sea often from now on.”
Taehyuk asked, observing Nayoung’s reaction, “So, is it bothering you?”
Nayoung shook her head, saying, “I like having something to do together.”
She wanted to share many things with him.
Taehyuk expressed the same sentiment, saying, “Then let’s have ramen together at the clam barbecue restaurant.”
Upon his mention of ramen again, Nayoung squinted her eyes and looked at Taehyuk, who was driving.
“If you marry me, Professor, you’ll have to quit ramen.”
“What?”
Taehyuk made a face as if questioning how that could be possible.
“Why? Can’t you do it?”
When he didn’t answer, Nayoung reached out and turned off the music.
With sudden silence in the car, Taehyuk felt a sense of thirst.
In a calm tone, she spoke firmly and deliberately into his ear.
“I want a husband who listens to me well. Is that okay with you?”
Taehyuk felt as if he had encountered the turbulent and rough sea of marriage for the first time.
Romance might be confined to just the proposal.
“I don’t just listen to you; we adjust to each other.”
Taehyuk loosened up and said. On a day like today, it wasn’t the time to nitpick over an unfair contract.
“In the hospital, I have to follow your instructions anyway. So, at home, Professor, please follow my words.”
It was a very firm and resolute will.
For a moment, Taehyuk wondered if it was okay to get married like this. Nayoung’s parents already thought the two were getting married, he had bought the proposal ring, and now they were in the car going for the proposal. Hongsik was already in Gangwon Province preparing fireworks.
Taehyuk turned his head to look at Nayoung.
Even in this awkward situation of making uncomfortable remarks, she looked truly beautiful.
He wondered how far love could overcome such discomfort.
“Okay.”
When he answered smoothly, baaaang!
A tremendously loud truck horn sounded.
Taehyuk quickly turned his head to look ahead.
A large truck was rushing towards them, avoiding the smaller cars.
Instinctively, Taehyuk blocked Nayoung’s body with his arms.
Then, he forcefully turned the steering wheel.
Screeeech!
As the car made a sharp turn, the huge truck was almost right in front of them.

This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”

Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi.
