“Fine. The only things Mom can do are those anyway, right? You don’t even know what I want. If you want to do that, just put me back in my place, okay?”
After ending the call, Hyuna threw her phone and glared straight ahead.
On the other hand, Dajeong, who had just arrived at the kindergarten, raised her eyebrows as she looked at Siu’s elbow. After sleeping for a night, as she feared, it had swollen into a dark bruise.
Seeing the bruise on her son’s arm, Dajeong’s heart seemed to turn blue, mirroring the color of the bruise.
Ultimately, since there was no swelling or discomfort in moving the arm, she thought it might not be necessary to go to the hospital.
“Is our little one in a lot of pain?”
Siu pouted.
“No, Siu isn’t in pain at all.”
“Huh? Really?”
Dajeong looked suspicious. Then, just for fun, she pressed the bruised area with her finger. Siu made a sound like “ouch” and suddenly hunched his shoulders. Finding her son so cute, Dajeong chuckled.
“Listen to the teacher well today…”
“To get along well with friends!”
Before the sentence finished, Siu struck a pose.
“You’re smart, Mom’s boy.”
Dajeong embraced Siu tightly with both arms.
Siu waved his hands energetically and turned around. Watching his back for a long time, Dajeong also redirected her steps.
On the path toward the parking lot, as she strolled absentmindedly, suddenly, Dojun’s face flashed in her mind.
How’s it going between the senior and Sookyung? They probably reconciled. Like back then…
Although they seemed like a well-matched couple, for some reason, whenever Dajeong encountered them, it felt like they would never see each other again.
Dajeong opened her phone and displayed Dojun’s number in the call window. While contemplating whether to make the call out of concern, she worried about what would happen if it became awkward.
Dajeong shook her head. It’s probably better not to do that.
At that moment, the phone in her hand vibrated twice shortly. Simultaneously, a message appeared on the screen.
“Choi Sun-ah-nim has invited you.”
Dajeong blinked in confusion.
Choi Sun-ah? The junior from university? They had a pleasant reunion not long ago at the alumni gathering.
Perhaps it was due to her recent appearance at that meeting, Dajeong thought, and she accepted the invitation, entering the group chat.
“Choi Sun-ah:
Dajeong Unni~~~>_< Thank you. What a surprise is this?"
"An Ji-yeon:
Dajeong-ah. Thank you so much~"
What on earth is happening? Everyone is saying thank you loudly, but Dajeong couldn't comprehend it. She immediately typed a message.
"Yoo Dajeong:
What is all this about?"
"Kim Yoon-ji:
Unni, didn't you know? Senior's boyfriend distributed 10 vouchers for H Hotel Spa to the female alumni who attended that day. The spa there is famous for being super luxurious. I wondered if I would ever go in my lifetime, and then this happened."
Spa vouchers? She had been watching the whole time, so when did this happen?
"An Ji-yeon:
When we were leaving that day, the owner was handing them out at the door one by one."
A picture soon appeared in the chat window. It was a dark khaki-colored card envelope with a golden frame, and the following was engraved on the front.
"Yoo Dajeong ♥ Dad sends his regards."
"Oh, my goodness…"
Dajeong bit her lip. Even though it was just a chat, everyone's faces looked lively.
"An Ji-yeon:
Dajeong, what kind of luck do you have? Huh, is there no other man like that? Ehe, where can you find one?"
"Kim Yoon-ji:
Senior. You made a mistake in this life. In the next life, please be born as a puppy. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"
Dajeong covered her face with her hand. When did she ever talk about being born as a puppy?
"An Ji-yeon:
But, what if we run into those troublemakers at the spa? It would be hilarious if we bumped into each other."
"Choi Seon-gyeong:
That's right. That senior blatantly criticized Dajeong Unni in front of everyone. But she still took the spa voucher."
Dajeong, who turned off the vibrations on her phone, let out a long sigh silently. The group chat buzzed with chatter about her and the junior's father.
Meanwhile, Siu, who was running towards the classroom, stopped abruptly when a tall adult blocked his way.
Lifting his head quickly, Siu cheerfully greeted the person.
"Oh? Director Teacher! Hello!"
"Hello."
For some reason, Hyuna, who kindly responded to the unexpected greeting, slowly raised her fist.
"But why is your arm like this?"
"Oh? This! Siu tried to jump from the chair, and I fell. But Siu didn't cry at all!"
"Is that so?"
Seeing the blue mark on the tender elbow, Hyuna's eyes sparkled with excitement.
Tap, tap.
At the faint knocking sound, Jounghyuk, who opened the door, saw Manager Min and, after seeing him, pressed his tired eyelids with his palm.
“Um… What time is it?”
“It’s a little past 1 PM.”
Around the time everyone went out for lunch, intending to rest for a moment by leaning on the chair and just closing his eyes, he ended up accidentally falling asleep.
Manager Min wore a pitiful expression. He had stayed up late last night, claiming he could handle it, but eventually, it seemed like he skipped meals too.
“Director-nim, please take a short break. You might get sick at this rate.”
“To meet the schedule for the New York listing, it’s tight.”
Manager Min sighed.
Indeed, the entire TF team was roaming around with dark circles under their eyes like zombies. In the same boat, what was different for the secretary-general, Jeah?
“Has the report come from the U.S. local team? How is the establishment of the corporation going? Why is it all silent?”
“I brought it because emails reporting the progress situation are constantly coming in.”
Manager Min handed over a file with the report attached. After groping his stiff eye area and focusing his eyes, Jounghyuk, who had been looking at the report, furrowed his brows.
“Why is it so delayed?”
“It seems that not having a local contact among the personnel included in the TF team is a frustrating factor. I think we urgently need to recruit an expert who can lead the team.”
Manager Min advised. Jounghyuk closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows. It’s a headache. It’s a job I can’t handle even if I want to, what should I do?
“Today, there’s no special external schedule, so go home early. Or would you like me to find a good place to rest or maybe a sauna?”
Seeing his unsatisfactory complexion, Manager Min suggested. His fingertips, which were poking at his temple, stopped.
“Rather than a sauna, do you know a place that makes excellent chocolate cake?”
Returning to the residence early, Jounghyuk took a shower. After shedding the fatigue of the night and bundling his wet hair, he changed into new clothes and went straight out again.
As he got in the car, Kim the driver checked the destination.
“Director-nim, shall I take you to M Hotel?”
“Yes.”
When he affirmed, the car gradually moved.
Usually, he wanted to move alone, so Manager Min, who was left out, had to resort to using Kim’s help with his casted arm.
‘M Hotel Bakery’s chocolate mousse cake is famous.’
This was the result obtained through searches and research by the female employees in the secretary’s office, mobilized by Manager Min.
The cake, made with organic flour, cocoa, and natural sweeteners, is not only healthy but also not too sweet, making it preferred by women and children.
Anyway, considering the one-stop process from the impossible same-day reservation to ordering, Manager Min’s ability was indeed excellent.
“I’ll be right out.”
After telling the driver Kim to wait, he entered the hotel and, as instructed, passed through the café lounge and headed to the bakery.
A short while later, holding the packaged cake box and following the path marked by golden railing, he received the polite farewell of the staff.
Inside the café lounge, he noticed a woman enjoying tea. It was a woman he knew.
Watching the woman having tea with someone, Jounghyuk recalled the face of a foolish man.
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.
