Sookyung, sitting at the end of the bed, looked at the man before her with cold eyes.
“I apologize, Miss Sookyung…”
Unlike her in her sleepwear, Kwon Dojun was meticulously dressed as if heavily armed.
Not liking that, seeing him hang his head as if he had committed a crime twisted Sookyung’s insides subtly.
Somehow, she ended up bringing this socially awkward man home and was about to leave after putting him in bed when her wrist was grabbed.
‘I don’t want you to leave,’ he pleaded, so she reluctantly stayed.
“I have made an unforgivable mistake towards you, Miss Sookyung. I’m really sorry.”
Sookyung’s eyes rolled back.
Given the situation, it felt as though they had timeslipped back to the Joseon era.
Isn’t it possible for single men and women to spend a night together if they like each other? But his attitude of pointing out that it was a mistake wasn’t very pleasant.
He didn’t seem as hurt when he kissed her while calling another woman’s name the previous night.
Even knowing that the woman Kwon Dojun wanted wasn’t her, she didn’t want to reject him. Be it out of pity or ulterior motives.
Although it was a confession that hurt her pride, Sookyung’s honest feelings were that she wanted to stay by his side, even as a standin. That was all.
“I don’t know what to say to apologize…”
His problemsolving method was a bit oldfashioned, but because the man in front of her was Kwon Dojun, Sookyung developed a level of tolerance she never had before.
“I see. It was a huge mistake, wasn’t it? So, how are you going to handle this situation, Mr. Dojun?”
“…….”
He briefly raised his eyes, but when they met Sookyung’s, Dojun’s gaze fell back down.
He searched his memories in a short time, but the result was the same. Although some vague scenes passed by, he couldn’t remember any decisive moments.
But he never thought of denying the current situation, which clearly looked like he had made a mistake.
As he was raised in an educator’s family, Dojun had a strict and conservative way of thinking.
Considering that, there was no reason not to accept his overly upright points in every matter.
Still, he didn’t expect this answer.
“If you wish… I will take responsibility for you, Miss Sookyung.”
His barely squeezed out voice was as pitiful as a cow being led to a slaughterhouse. Sookyung couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
“Mr. Kwon Dojun, did you live in the Joseon era?”
“Excuse me…?”
“So, are you saying you’ll marry me?”
“If that’s what you want, Miss Sookyung…”
Dojun’s voice faltered. Sookyung, looking at him sternly, burst into laughter once more.
“Wow, what a golden opportunity to marry Mr. Kwon Do Jun. But what to do? I don’t want to desperately cling to a man who’s not interested in me just to get married.”
“…….”
“I’ll let go of the responsibility. But I have another condition.”
Soo Kyung’s generous gaze firmly met the puzzled Do Jun.
“Date me officially ten times. Even after that, if Mr. Kwon Do Jun’s heart doesn’t move, I’ll cleanly give up. What do you think?”
Do Jun’s surprised expression hesitated a few times.
“Really… will that do? You won’t get the result you want, Ms. Lee Soo Kyung.”
“Don’t be so sure. You never know about these things.”
It was early afternoon, returning from a fun time at the playground.
“Shall we have a snack, Si Woo?”
Si Woo, who was thinking about Da Jung’s question, opened his mouth wide.
“Mom! Uh… I don’t want a snack, I want to have pizza later.”
He was anticipating because his picky mom unexpectedly suggested having pizza for lunch.
“Shall we? Then, Mom has to work now, what will Si Woo do?”
“Si Woo! Uh, um… Si Woo will read a book.”
Da Jung repeatedly pinched her admirable son’s cheeks.
“You’re such a good boy, Mom’s son. Then, while Si Woo is reading, Mom will quickly finish her work and we can have pizza.”
“Yes!”
Si Woo, who seemed happy, shouted hurray and ran to his room to sit in front of his bookshelf, beginning to select his favorite storybook.
Watching him, Da Jung opened her laptop on the dining table. The completion of the blueprint she couldn’t finish before leaving the company was imminent.
Her cautious eyes meticulously checked the blueprint on the monitor. The major work had already been completed and handed over, only the review of the detailed design was left.
After a couple more hours, the completed blueprint was emailed to Hee Joo, who took over Da Jung’s duties.
This marked the end of her relationship with Hanbit Architecture Office.
She was frequently in touch with Hee Joo. It usually started with workrelated talks and ended with small chitchat.
The newly hired employee was diligent and conscientious, and they communicated well. However, there were still many twists and turns as he was not yet fully settled in.
Hee Joo managed the tasks assigned to him smoothly, and the onsite work seemed to go reasonably well. The company was running smoothly even in Da Jung’s absence.
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.
