“Leave the green onion kimchi out for a day before you put it in the refrigerator.”
The stimulating tangy smell filled the air, then Sook Hee abruptly put the lid back on.
“I also made stirfried anchovies and braised soy sauce, so feed Si Woo.”
Sook Hee, who habitually spoke admonishing words, suddenly squinted her eyes and stared.
“Take out only as much as you can eat. Don’t leave your eating spoon like last time and get in trouble. Understand?”
“Ugh, I said I got it.”
Da Jung, who responded nonchalantly, picked up a radish kimchi and crunched it in her mouth. She shivered at the sharp and crunchy texture.
“Mmm! What to do. It’s too delicious.”
“Hey! Eat with chopsticks!”
Smack!
With the sensation of fire on her back, Da Jung twisted like a grilled squid. Sook Hee’s hand, famous for being skilled, was also famous for its spiciness.
Sook Hee, who was stacking side dish containers, subtly turned her gaze towards the entrance.
“Hasn’t Si Woo arrived yet?”
“He’s arrived.”
Da Jung took advantage of the loosened surveillance and sneakily plucked a quail egg from the soybraised dish and popped it into her mouth.
“Aigo! Take some out and eat!”
Smack! Smack!
It was clear that Sook Hee had eyes on the back of her head.
While cleaning up, the sound of the door unlocking grazed her ears. It seemed like the front door was opening, then light footsteps followed.
Soon, a small figure appeared. His rushing feet came to a screeching halt, and the innocent eyes in his tiny face quickly took in the scene.
“Granny Ggobun!”
Fiveyearold Si Woo ran and hugged Sook Hee with a bright smile.
“Aigo, our puppy. My pretty puppy!”
Sook Hee peppered Si Woo’s cheeks with kisses until smacking sounds were heard. Sol, who was following behind with a kindergarten bag, squinted her eyes.
“Mrs. Ggobun. I told you not to keep kissing Si Woo.”
The lady nicknamed Mrs. Ggobun, Choi Sook Hee, was Sol’s mother.
Sook Hee, annoyed by the nagging, grabbed her conceited daughter’s head.
“Ouch! Why are you hitting?!”
“I’ve raised you all without a single illness, you thing! A woman who hasn’t even had a baby is worrying about caterpillars!”
Choi Sook Hee, the lady who would never admit defeat.
Having birthed four children and raised them all healthily without major illnesses, it was undeniable that Sook Hee was a veteran.
Sol, who hadn’t recovered, rubbed her grabbed head and grumbled.
“Stop hitting my head! I couldn’t study because of mom!”
“Oh my! What would you have done without that excuse?”
Watching the bickering mother and daughter, Da Jung laughed out loud. It was a scene she saw often, but she never got tired of it.
At some point, Si Woo approached and tugged at Da Jung’s sleeve, as if asking for attention.
When her gaze followed the nudging hand, a pair of round eyes, shining like stars, were waiting. When she smiled brightly, Si Woo also smiled widely.
With both hands on his belly button, Si Woo bent his short body in half.
“Mom! Si Woo went to kindergarten well!”
Si Woo politely greeted his mom, who was home for a rare day off. The fiveyearold was excessively polite, even without anyone teaching him.
“Our son is so special. You must’ve had a hard day at kindergarten.” With a heartmelting smile, Da Jung tenderly patted the cheek of Si Woo, who was as soft as a rice cake.
Five years ago. The aftermath of a single night, driven by some sort of enchantment, was as shocking as a bomb dropping on her head.
While the shock was considerable, on the other hand, the fact of having a family was staggering. It was somewhat thrilling too.
Being raised alone, Da Jung had always envied a bustling household like Sol’s. For that reason, she had once contemplated the idea of having and raising many children.
Of course, in her life, marriage was not on the horizon, hence it was a distant thought. But as the world goes, life flowed in an unexpected direction, and thus, Si Woo came as a gift.
She knew it was not a situation to be entirely happy about. She was quite scared and afraid. However, she never considered giving up on the child, not for a single moment.
No matter the process, she wouldn’t dare to harbor foolish thoughts towards a life that had chosen her.
But she was worried.
Could she do well? Could she truly make this child happy?
That’s how she became a mother.
Some might criticize her, but Da Jung never thought her choice to have a child alone was irresponsible.
She had the financial ability to raise a child, and a rising eagerness to work even harder for him.
Moreover, many people loved Si Woo as if they were playing the father’s role, which made the days more peaceful and blissful than she could ask for.
She rested her cheek on Si Woo’s little head. Every time she brushed against his soft hair, it smelled good.
The scent of her family, her child, whom Da Jung had nurtured inside her for ten long months.
In the midst of all this, the mother and daughter’s argument continued.
“So when are you going to get married and have a baby?”
“I don’t know!”
“Do you plan to die alone?”
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.
