“What I want to say is that we are still so inexperienced that we can’t distinguish between sympathy and love. I’m also learning that these days, and I wish there was someone to teach that to Senior. It would be even better if that person were Sookyung. You know he’s not a bad person. He’s just inexperienced.”
“Unni’s right. Kwon Dohjun is a good man and a nice person. It’s true that I was attracted to him for that reason. But someone like me doesn’t invest emotions and time in something worthless. There was no moment in my life as wasteful and meaningless as the time I spent with him. It was a perfect investment failure.”
“…”
Dajeong couldn’t find more words and averted her gaze. At this moment, all she could do was express the look saying, ‘I’m sorry that my senior is that foolish.’
Touching the phone screen, Junghyuk sighed with a bored expression.
After making some time to go on a date with Dajeong after a few days and calling her near, she said she was on her way to meet a client. Her son is with her, and she suggested bringing him along. Well, it’s that guy’s father right in front of him.
“Formal meeting?”
At Junho’s words, Junghyuk raised his eyes from his phone, which he had been fiddling with. He didn’t say anything, but judging by the stiff expression on his face, it seemed that his friend’s marriage news wasn’t so pleasant.
Did I not introduce him? Despite being far from Yoo Dajeong, whom I introduced, what right does he have to get married so soon? He seemed to want to say something like that.
“I didn’t make a mistake in front of my dad, right?”
Sol, who dressed up elegantly, said with a worried expression while wrapping the cheek that was mentioned. Junho nodded with a satisfied face.
“No mistake at all. My father really liked you.”
“He liked me? But he never smiled while looking at me.”
“Originally, my father gets nervous and stiff when he sees a pretty woman. So don’t worry. Let’s tell my mother-in-law now and set the date for the formal meeting.”
Sol and Junho were planning and dreaming about their future, full of the joy of marriage.
It’s only a superficial wound. Junghyuk listened with one ear and let it out with the other, waiting for Dajeong’s contact that the client meeting was over.
Even if it’s Siwoo, he would leave sooner or later, and it was boring to death.
Time passed boringly. How much time had passed? Ding-dong, the doorbell rang, and Director Min came into the cafe.
“Director, you mentioned it?”
Director Min put a thick envelope with the logo of Han River Hospital on the table. When he opened the envelope and took out the contents, brochures produced by Han River Hospital poured out.
In the thick booklet, it was written like this.
“Bravo! Silver Life.”
It was a guidebook for a health check-up program for a healthy old age.
Junghyuk carefully examined the brochure. To Junho, it was an entirely unfamiliar sight.
“Chairman, would you like me to book a health check-up for you?”
“We seniors have many people taking care of us, not just me.”
“Then who?”
Junho, genuinely curious, blinked his innocent eyes like a calf.
“Do you know the saying ‘Mother-in-law’s love is son-in-law’s love’?”
“Isn’t it the other way around, son-in-law’s love is mother-in-law’s love?”
“Anyway, if you want to be loved by your mother-in-law for a long time, what should you do?”
As Junghyuk muttered like that, he suddenly looked at the opposite side.
“If you want to be loved too, then join in.”
The phone rang. Looking at the caller ID that appeared on the screen, Dajeong blinked in bewilderment.
The caller was labeled as “Our Cutest Son in the World.”
Only now did Dajeong recall Junghyuk’s words about giving Siwoo’s phone to Jungae.
In the hands of a child who has nothing to do other than play games, it was a more necessary item for an elderly person living alone. You never know when and where an emergency might happen, so in a way, Junghyuk unexpectedly had a thoughtful side.
Thinking that she should change the saved name to ‘Mom,’ Dajeong pressed the call button.
“Mom, it’s me.”
Receiving a welcoming voice, for some reason, the voice on the other side sounded a bit strange.
『Oh, my. What’s all this about?』
Wondering what happened, Dajeong’s heart sank, and her expression became serious.
“Mom, what’s going on? Did you fall and get hurt?”
『No, it’s not that. I don’t know what’s going on. A young man brought me here in a car to a big hospital.』
“A hospital…? What are you talking about? Who took you there?”
『Oh, it was that Cha son-in-law who sent me.』
Since Jungae was so natural, Dajeong had already become accustomed to that title.
“Cha son-in-law? What’s he up to? What did he do?”
『I don’t know. Just wait and see. Here, I’ll change the young man for you.』
『Madam, I’m Driver Kim.』
“Hello, Driver Kim. What on earth is happening?”
『The President instructed to take Madam to Han River Hospital. There’s a comprehensive examination scheduled, and she plans to rest for about 3 nights and 4 days while undergoing the examination.』
Dajeong touched her forehead. Then, she hastily grabbed her bag, wallet, and other things.
“Han River Hospital, right? I’ll go right away.”
As she was about to end the call in a hurry, Jungae intercepted the call again.
『No, today you have to fast all day. Don’t come here and make the old woman hungry for nothing. Just wait until tomorrow or the day after. Ah, it looks like the one over there has arrived.』
Over there?
『Siwoo’s grandmother. She came early.』
This was Hwamul’s voice. At that moment, the call was unilaterally cut off.
With a bewildered look, Dajeong shifted her gaze to the living room. Siwoo was watching a marine documentary currently airing on TV.
Cute and lovely marine animals such as belugas, dolphins, penguins, and sea lions were being introduced.
Among them, Siwoo showed curiosity about dolphins. It seemed that the description of them being highly intelligent and playful resonated with him, like his peers.
Dajeong briskly went to the living room and observed Siwoo’s focused back of the head.
“Shall we call Dad, Siwoo?”
“Dad?”
Siwoo’s eyes sparkled as he turned around quickly.
“Yeah. Siwoo, call Dad and tell him to buy chocolate cake later.”
Siwoo’s innocent eyes glanced suspiciously at his mom. Despite often nagging about not growing tall and getting cavities, today, for some reason, she found her mom particularly charming.
“Um… I don’t want chocolate cake!”
“How about pizza then? Ask Dad to buy pizza.”
“Yeah! But I’m full!”
“Hey…”
Today, Dajeong looked at her uncooperative son with an unusually stern gaze.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
