At the end of the brief silence, Eun Soo squeezed out a voice with difficulty.
“……Who is this?”
— I’m Seo Yeon Ji.
Seo Yeon Ji.
Eun Soo silently mouthed the woman’s name.
It was the first time Eun Soo heard the name of the woman her husband loved. Because no one had ever spoken her name before.
So it’s Seo Yeon Ji.
Suddenly, the corners of Eun Soo’s eyes became hot. She clenched her eyes tightly and cupped one side of her face with her palm.
— I contacted you about Hyuk Joo oppa.
At the woman’s words, calling her husband affectionately, Eun Soo bit her lip hard.
The brutal reality she had been desperately avoiding was unfolding in front of her.
Despite Hyuk Joo’s words that the woman had returned, and despite feeling the woman’s presence gradually encroaching, Eun Soo had deliberately turned a blind eye.
She comforted herself, thinking that if she pretended not to know, nothing would happen.
Eun Soo thought she could live as Moon Hyuk Joo’s wife, and the woman revealing her existence over the phone could continue to live receiving Moon Hyuk Joo’s unwavering love, as she had been.
Knowing of each other’s existence, they could live maintaining their respective places like parallel lines that would never meet.
However, the woman casually stepped into the world that Eun Soo desperately wanted to protect.
As if she was the owner coming to retrieve what was hers.
— Hello?
The woman checked if Eun Soo was listening to her.
“I’m listening.”
As her dry lips moved, a hoarse voice came out. It was hard to force out even a few syllables for an answer.
— I want to meet Ms. Eun Soo.
“……”
Eun Soo clenched the hem of her dress tightly.
Her heart fluttered violently at the woman’s words that she wanted to meet her.
Various thoughts swirled in her head, causing confusion.
Could it be that her husband, who said he had no intention of divorcing, had changed his mind?
Her husband was a man who rarely reversed a decision he had made himself. However, Eun Soo knew well that such a rare event was not difficult in front of a woman he loved.
Isn’t it the same for those who fall in love?
Even though they know it’s not right in their heads, they eventually move as their hearts dictate.
Eun Soo herself was the same, so she knew that feeling better than anyone else.
But Moon Hyuk Joo was a more rational person, so he would try to find a wise way to handle the decision to divorce, and his woman, who had been watching from the side, must have thought it was time for her to step forward in this frustrating situation.
— Eun Soo? You’re listening to me, right?
“……Yes.”
— It seems like you’re outside. Let’s meet for a moment.
The woman was relentless.
She was full of momentum, like someone who had a firm purpose and had to meet Eun Soo today no matter what.
Eun Soo bit her lip tightly, trying to say she didn’t want to.
It was foolish, but she was curious about the woman.
She wanted to know what the great Moon Hyuk Joo’s unforgettable woman looked like.
“Okay.”
— Will you come to Cheongdamdong?
“Yes.”
— I’ll send you the place via message. Please contact me when you arrive.
“……I will.”
Eun Soo lowered the mobile phone she had held against her cheek. She blankly stared at the screen of the disconnected phone.
What was she going to do meeting Seo Yeon Ji……
Eun Soo, who had put down her phone, cupped her face with both hands, then released them.
The woman would ask her to divorce Moon Hyuk Joo, but what should she say?
“Madam, are you okay?”
Seeing the pale Eun Soo, the driver asked in a worried voice.
Eun Soo, lifting her head, said she was fine and asked to be taken to Cheongdamdong.
The driver tilted his head when Eun Soo, who he expected to ask to go to the hospital, said Cheongdamdong as her destination. However, he didn’t ask further.
Eun Soo’s face, visible in the rearview mirror, was devoid of any color, pale as a ghost.
“……Driver.”
“Yes, Madam.”
“I need to stop at the bank for a moment.”
“Yes, understood.”
Eun Soo, seated in the back, inserted her thumb between her lips and bit her nail.
Let’s do everything I can.
That’s what my aunt had said.
The woman who was so in love with Moon Hyuk Joo that she couldn’t break up, who had strongly resisted, eventually bowed down in front of money. She said she left Korea without hesitation when a huge amount of money was offered.
Eun Soo thought that method might work again.
If she handed over money and asked not to shake Hyuk Joo’s heart any further, the woman might disappear without a trace this time too.
Eun Soo wanted to buy time, even if she had to do that.
Because she still loved Moon Hyuk Joo.
She wanted to stay by his side for just a few more months.
When the car stopped in front of the bank, Eun Soo hurriedly got out.
When she entered the bank, an employee who recognized her greeted her kindly.
“Hello, Madam.”
“……Yes.”
“I will guide you directly to the manager’s office.”
Eun Soo merely nodded silently.
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.
