She thought it would be good to slowly go back to her old job. She could raise her child while doing translation work, and after some more time, she could possibly do other related work.
“Now, could you press the number here?”
Saet Byeol held out her phone. Eun Soo entered her newly changed phone number into the keypad. Immediately, a vibration rang from Eun Soo’s phone.
“Save my number.”
“Yes.”
Eun Soo immediately saved Saet Byeol’s number. Then, she suddenly laughed.
It was amazing to have met someone for the first time, eaten a meal together, and then ridden in her car to the beach.
No, rather than amazing, she felt that her courage to accept a stranger to this extent was truly remarkable.
Without any fear.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Oh… I usually shy away from strangers, so it’s funny that I’m here with Saet Byeol, whom I met today.”
“You’re not regretting it, are you?”
“No, it’s strange how I feel comfortable with Saet Byeol. It’s as if she’s someone I’ve known a long time ago.”
“Usually, if people get along well, even if the time spent together is short, it feels like decades have passed. That’s just the way it is. Do you want some coffee?”
Saet Byeol asked as she got out of the car first.
“I don’t drink coffee.”
“Really?”
“…It’s for health reasons.”
“Oh, I see. Then, I’ll get you a juice. Wait here.”
Saet Byeol left Eun Soo standing there and dashed off to a cafe on the other side of the street.
Eun Soo looked out at the vast sea before her.
She felt that, as Saet Byeol said, it wasn’t important how long two people had spent time together.
She thought about the little over two years she had spent with Hyuk Joo.
She thought they would grow closer with each passing day, but they never seemed to.
“That person was right next to me, but every moment felt like we were growing farther apart. It wasn’t a misperception.”
Eun Soo brushed her cheek with her palm.
Perhaps from the very beginning, she didn’t know that she and Hyuk Joo were not compatible. Maybe that’s why they constantly clashed even when they were together.
She had thought of someone who was never hers as her own. As a result, she harbored futile hopes and faced days of disappointment alone.
“I can only see the sea.”
Eun Soo said, looking at the waves crashing one after another, her voice sounding lonely.
Like the sea that filled her view, Hyuk Joo was the only one who filled her heart for the past two years.
A person who was her whole universe.
But to him, Eun Soo was merely a faint star in the sky.
An insignificant existence that didn’t matter whether it was there or not.
“If I had accepted that earlier, I wouldn’t have come this far……”
Muttering to herself, Eun Soo clenched her fist. The tips of her nails pricked the inside of her palm because of her tightly clenched fist.
At first, it hurt, but soon she felt no pain at all.
Eun Soo raised her head and looked at the sea again.
Pain becomes numb with time.
The pain that torments me now will also become insignificant as time goes by.
She would remember that she was in pain, but she probably wouldn’t remember how much it hurt.
Eun Soo wished earnestly for that day to come quickly. With all her might, she lifted the corners of her lips into a smile.
Upon arrival at Jeju airport, Hyuk Joo checked the message sent by Director Song.
Just like the capable employee who never did anything halfheartedly, Director Song’s message was concise and clear.
There was a picture showing the car number and where it was parked underneath the message. Hyuk Joo started walking towards Gate 4.
In the airport filled with excited travelers, only Hyuk Joo wore a stern expression.
He had gritted his teeth so hard during the flight to Jeju that his jaw felt numb. However, due to the tension that suppressed his heart, he didn’t have a chance to feel the discomfort for long.
“Please, Eun Soo……”
Having entered the parked car, Hyuk Joo gripped the steering wheel tightly and pleaded desperately in a low voice.
The townhouse under the name of Hwang Hyun Kyung was not far from the airport. However, as it was located in a high area, he had to drive up a winding road for quite some time.
The rain had stopped, but the fog was thick, and visibility was poor. Due to the rough road that required continuous steering and unfavorable weather conditions, he couldn’t drive fast, and Hyuk Joo felt frustrated.
He felt like he wanted to stop the car and run instead.
Ever since Eun Soo left, Hyuk Joo hadn’t slept properly, and his eyes were full of bloodshot veins. Amidst all this, he was more tense than ever while driving on an unfamiliar road.
Of course, what worried him the most was the fear of Eun Soo not being at the place where he was heading.
Finally, he reached the entrance of the townhouse.
“Ah……”
With a heavy sigh, Hyuk Joo, who stopped the car, swallowed his dry saliva.
Houses, built with the samecolored bricks and similar designs, were lined up. The fourth house was the one where he guessed Eun Soo might be.
As he was about to open the door and get out of the car, he saw a car coming in his side mirror. The car that passed by Hyuk Joo’s went into the entrance and stopped in front of the fourth house.
Hyuk Joo’s eyes narrowed.
The car door opened. Seeing the familiar figure getting out of the car, Hyuk Joo called out Eun Soo’s name as if he was releasing the breath he had been holding.
“Eun Soo.”
Eun Soo clearly heard him calling her, but she didn’t turn around.
Only then did Hyuk Joo realize he was still in the car. He felt like he had become a fool in an instant.
“Eun Soo……”
His voice calling Eun Soo again was so choked up that it was pitiful.
He reached for the handle to open the car door, but Hyuk Joo couldn’t gather the strength.
It was because of Eun Soo’s face.
She was standing in front of the house with a peer of similar age, laughing brightly.
It was a beautiful laugh that rendered even the gloomy weather colorless. Although he couldn’t hear the sound, it was as if she was laughing right into his ear, the laughter echoing in his ears.
He felt a chill.
When had Eun Soo ever done that?
It didn’t take long to trace back that memory.
There was a time when Eun Soo had laughed like that in the place where he wasn’t. It was when she was with Hwang In Woo.
As if he had returned to that day, to that place, Hyuk Joo’s eyes became misty.

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.
