The fever that spread from his fingertips felt as if it was quickly spreading throughout her body.
Feeling a sense of danger, she took a step back, and naturally, Professor Choi Tae Hyuk’s hand fell from her face.
He nonchalantly brushed off the petal in his hand.
Only her rapidly beating heart was letting her know what had just happened.
Na Young deliberately spoke brusquely, trying to quickly escape from this emotion.
“Did you pick up the cherry blossoms on the road?”
It was impossible to sell cherry blossoms at a flower shop.
But his answer was quite unexpected.
“Hong Shik picked it from the cherry tree at home.”
Who was this Hong Shik?
The name was too different to be his sibling.
She didn’t plan on asking who it was.
Because she wasn’t curious about him at all.
“There’s really nothing to do inside the hospital. Only this kind of play.”
At his complaint, Na Young’s eyebrows rose.
Even though she called it childish, she thought he was a man who knew a bit about romance,
But to be treated like playing house.
“Here’s your latenight snack!”
Na Young pushed a convenience storelogoed plastic bag into his chest, her mood aggravated.
But even with all her strength, there wasn’t even a speck of impact on him.
Tae Hyuk clicked his tongue at the cup noodle in the bag.
“I am giving Miss Hwang’s lunch box that I can’t even buy with money, and all Teacher Moon gives me is cup noodles?”
Ignoring his blatant gaze that the sentiment was too lacking, Na Young turned her head.
She had done enough by bringing hot water in a tumbler.
“Then, I’ll be leaving now.”
Since she finished delivering the latenight snack, she planned to leave the rooftop, but Professor Choi Tae Hyuk called her back while sitting on the rooftop bench.
“Wait!”
“I’m not eating.”
Anticipating that he would suggest eating together, Na Young firmly declined, but Professor Choi Tae Hyuk pointed at the cherry blossom petals that had fallen on the ground with a wooden chopstick.
“You should also take the flowers I gave you.”
It was as good as saying to clean up the floor before leaving.
Na Young blankly stared at the numerous cherry blossom petals scattered on the rooftop floor.
“Do you want me to pick these up and take them myself?”
“If you leave it, it’s just trash.”
It seemed this person had not prepared petals, not flowers, to bother her rather than give her a gift.
What an impossible person, even if given three thousand chances, not three!
“Would you like me to help?”
He asked, teasingly pouring hot water into the cup noodles.
Na Young, who didn’t want to ask for help first even if she died, forced a smile and spoke.
“No, I’ll just do it alone. Professor, enjoy your latenight snack.”
Na Young squatted and started picking up cherry blossom petals.
Tae Hyuk watched her as he waited for his instant noodles to cook.
He decided to start off lightly, thinking that if he approached her all serious from the beginning, it would only increase her resistance.
He felt like he’d only harvested hatred, not favor, but seeing her with her cheeks puffed up, sweeping up the petals, he couldn’t help but chuckle.
She was cute. Satisfyingly so.
Tae Hyuk, with his instant noodles now fully cooked, asked Na Young,
“Are you really not going to ask me for help?”
“How could I dare to make a noble professor like you do such a trivial task?”
With her determined answer, Tae Hyuk nodded in understanding, put his hand into his pocket, and sprinkled the remaining cherry blossom petals into the sky.
Whoosh.
Just when she was almost done cleaning, he sprinkled the petals again, recreating the initial scene. Na Young looked at the falling petals with a desolate look.
The cherry blossom petals, which initially looked beautiful, now…
Swoosh.
In the midst of all this, Professor Choi Tae Hyuk enjoyed his ramen.
Na Young glared at the rameneating Professor Choi Tae Hyuk with resentful eyes.
Did he really fall for me?
Probably not.
Thud.
Though it takes 3 minutes for the noodles to cook, Professor Choi Tae Hyuk finished his ramen in just 2 minutes and stood up.
What? Is he going to leave just because he finished eating?
As she thought of his insensitivity, the walking Choi Tae Hyuk knelt down in front of her.
Seeing him picking up the petals, Na Young was once again dumbfounded.
She didn’t even ask for his help, she really didn’t expect him to help.
“Are you going to throw these away?”
Na Young couldn’t immediately answer the question he threw while picking up the petals.
Just a while ago, she was definitely planning to throw them away.
Professor Choi Tae Hyuk looked up at her with his downcast eyes.
“I still have the earrings you threw away.”
She didn’t throw them away, she lost them.
She assumed she had dropped them in the hotel room, but she didn’t know he had them.
Suddenly, the velvet box she had seen on his office desk came to mind.
Could it be…
“Then please give them back.”
As she said this, stretching out her hand, Professor Choi Tae Hyuk ignored her hand and bluntly spit out,
“No. They’re mine now.”
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.
