Sejin couldn’t answer.
“Why, can’t give up your daughter? You said you’d give me everything I want.”
Ju-hwa mockingly ridiculed Sejin.
“I’ll give you my life. Please do that.”
“…Mom!”
Yeoreum, utterly shocked, rushed to Sejin and grabbed her arm.
“Get up.”
But Sejin just shook her head, refusing to stand.
Yeoreum’s frustration turned into rage at this absurd situation.
“Get up, I said! Get up!”
“Stay out of this. Just stay out!”
“What do you mean, stay out! What!”
Yeoreum pulled her with force, but Sejin resisted.
Then, as if rooted to the floor, she wouldn’t budge.
“Can’t do that, right?”
Ju-hwa, watching their struggle, asked.
“Then, I guess there’s nothing more to say. I’ll be going now.”
“…Chairwoman!”
Sejin nearly fell over as she grabbed Ju-hwa’s leg.
“Rather, tell me to die. Please!”
“You’re stupid, aren’t you? I said I don’t need your worthless life. But, I think there’s something you can bring me.”
“What is it? I’ll give it to you!”
Ju-hwa’s arm raised, pointing her finger at Yeoreum, who stood in disbelief.
“Her.”
“…What?”
“Your daughter. Give her to me. Hand over all rights related to her for 20 years, sever all ties. Do that, and I’ll save your husband.”
Sejin’s face turned pale, while Ju-hwa smiled coldly.
“Sounds like a fair deal, right?”
Sejin was speechless.
“Why, can’t give up your daughter? I thought you said you’d give me anything.”
Ju-hwa laughed mockingly at Sejin.
“I’ll give you my life. Please allow it.”
“…Mom!”
Yeoreum, in shock, rushed to Sejin and held her arm.
“Stand up.”
Sejin only shook her head, refusing to stand.
Yeoreum’s confusion turned into anger at this preposterous situation.
“Stand up, I said! Stand up!”
“Leave it alone. Just leave it!”
“What do you mean leave it alone! What!”
Yeoreum forcefully pulled her, but Sejin resisted.
And like someone rooted to the floor, she wouldn’t budge.
“As expected, that won’t work, will it?”
Ju-hwa, observing their tussle, asked.
“Then, I guess there’s nothing more to discuss. I’ll be leaving now.”
“…Chairwoman!”
Sejin almost fell over as she clung to Ju-hwa’s leg.
“Tell me to die instead. Please do that!”
“Are you dense? I told you I don’t need your life. But, thinking about it, you have something to offer.”
“What is it? I’ll give it to you!”
Ju-hwa’s arm lifted, and her index finger pointed at Yeoreum, who stood there in shock.
“Her.”
“…What?”
“Your daughter. Hand her over to me. Relinquish all rights related to her for just 20 years, and sever all ties. Do that, and I’ll save your husband.”
Sejin’s face turned ashen, while Ju-hwa smiled coldly.
“Fair deal, isn’t it?”
“Go ahead and enter. And you can take your time coming out. Madam will come this evening.”
“Thank you. Secretary Choi, you can go home now.”
Sang-ha repeatedly expressed his gratitude to them and familiarly entered a hospital room.
Secretary Choi, who appeared to be in his mid-20s, quietly asked a nurse, “What happened? I saw a crowd of people from PR there.”
The nurse glanced around cautiously and answered in a low voice, “The son of Chairman Kang Ju-hwa of PR Group had a traffic accident.”
“Chairman Kang’s son?”
“Yes.”
“Is it serious?”
She nodded and then quickly resumed her duties.
Secretary Choi, after briefly observing the corridor where people had gathered, turned his gaze towards the room Sang-ha had entered, letting out a deep sigh.
Sang-ha approached the bed. The man lying there, hooked up to complex medical equipment, appeared to be in his 20s, but his tall frame was thin, and his face was so pale that his veins were visible.
Sang-ha took off his jacket, placing it on a nearby sofa, and approached the bed.
“Hey, Jin Hae-il. Your brother is here, and you’re just lying down? You’ve lost all your discipline.”
Sang-ha playfully messed up Hae-il’s hair. Then, he pulled a chair closer, took out a hamburger from a paper bag, and held it near Hae-il’s nose.
“How is it? Smells good, right?”
He teased Hae-il with the burger, saying, “This is the most popular burger in Busan. Triple meat patties with loads of cheese. Must be really delicious, right?”
Hae-il, lying on the bed, didn’t respond.
Sang-ha sat down on the chair, holding the hamburger near Hae-il’s nose for a moment, then spoke, “This business trip was quite fun, actually. Of course, while I was away, Lee-seok got appointed as Executive Director of the Strategic Planning Office. No need for you to be so upset about it. It was expected. But it’s good to have friends, right? Someone to be angry on my behalf.”
Sang-ha took Hae-il’s thin hand, “Don’t be angry. I’m really okay.”
He gently caressed Hae-il’s hand, then took a big bite of the hamburger.
“I met a very unusual magpie this time. Plump and pale, quite unique.”
Sang-ha chuckled, showing his left hand to Hae-il, “See this bandage? That magpie put it on. Pretty cute, isn’t it?”
He leaned in close to Hae-il’s ear, “What? You think it’s so cute you want one too?”
Sang-ha rummaged in his pocket, “Ta-da!”
It was a bandage with the same character design.
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.
