“I know why.”
Jina said to Jinwoo.
“I know you met my father, whom you don’t want to see. I know everything.”
With closed lips, Jinwoo stared at Jina.
“You don’t need to feel responsible, noona. If there’s something to bear as a child, I’ll take care of it.”
“I’m taking responsibility for you. Fool.”
Unexpectedly, one of Jinwoo’s eyebrows raised at the words.
“What does that mean?”
Literally taking responsibility for you. So, your share is not yours alone.”
Jina showed the cake box slightly.
“We’re in a relationship where we have to share even a piece of cake.”
With her smile, Jinwoo could no longer hold her back.
“Well, I’ll deliver it then.”
In the car, Jinwoo said decisively.
“If you give the chairman a strawberry cake with your stubborn face, he might think there’s poison inside and won’t eat it.”
At Jina’s words, Jinwoo seemed to lose words, gently combing his hair that flowed smoothly over his forehead.
“Okay. Let’s go together then.”
Jina couldn’t beat him.
Forever.
“Oh, did you leave something behind?”
Chairman’s wife opened her eyes wide. Jina showed the packaged cake box.
“The cake was so delicious. Mrs. Chairman, it seems like you’re tired from nursing.”
With Jina’s words, the chairman’s wife smiled, covering her mouth. Jina also smiled with her at the face that had become much neater.
“In spring, it’s strawberry cake.”
“Thank you.”
With moist eyes, the chairman’s wife received the cake box.
“It’s been a long time since someone took care of me. Especially…”
She didn’t finish her sentence, but it was clear she was referring to her child.
“Well, see you again next time.”
Jina greeted brightly. Jinwoo, who stood next to her, just greeted and left.
“He really likes it. I’m glad.”
Jina said with a proud face, and Jinwoo couldn’t help but smile lightly.
“Thank you. But next time…”
“That’s right. What should I bring next time?”
Jina was already planning for the next time, folding her fingers mischievously and thinking about delicious desserts.
Seeing Jina like that, Jinwoo couldn’t help but raise his head, unable to hold her back.
“Yes. Noona.”
Knowing that he couldn’t hold her back, Jinwoo winked at her.
“Noona, do you want to leave work like this?”
“No, I have to finish something, so I’ll go to the office.”
“Driver, let’s go back to the company.”
The car carrying Jinwoo and Jina ran along the road by the river.
“Sehee.”
Holding the white disposable fork enclosed in the cake box, the wife of Iljun suddenly raised her head at the calling voice.
“Chairman, are you awake?”
Sehee hurriedly got up and approached Iljun.
“Did the kids come and go again?”
She thought he was asleep, but somehow she knew.
“Yes. Jina brought a strawberry cake.”
“That must be delicious.”
The man had never even put strawberry cake in his mouth while he was alive. Sehee opened her eyes wide.
“Oh? I didn’t know you liked strawberry cake.”
“Hmm, hmm.”
Iljun made an awkward sound as if clearing his throat for no reason.
“Would you like to try a bite?”
“Enough.”
Iljun lazily extended his hand as if bothered.
“Bring me some water.”
“Yes.”
Sehee took the water bottle next to her.
“Sip…”
As Iljun tried to drink water, he paused for a moment, as if feeling pain. Sehee’s expression also froze as she watched Iljun.
“Are you okay? Should I call the doctor?”
Iljun, as if he didn’t even have the strength to speak, closed his eyes tightly and slowly raised his hand.
The unexpected illness that had never been thought of was devouring Iljun’s life. Even though he knew that there was not much time left, watching the life force shrinking before his eyes was a painful experience.
“After…”
As the waves of pain passed like waves, Iljun slowly opened his eyes.
“This is relentless.”
“Should I ask for more painkillers?”
“No, I asked for a lot before the kids came, so I won’t take any more now.”
“…”
Iljun, who had been indifferent to Jinwoo, had asked for more painkillers up to the limit because he couldn’t show a painful appearance in front of his son who was coming.
“I don’t want to show a pathetic sight to my son.”
Sae-ah. Just her existence brought a faint smile to Iljun’s lips.
“They say a daughter-in-law’s love is like a son’s love for his father.”
Sehee said to Iljun.
“There’s no point in receiving love from an ugly father.”
But there was also a hint of not disliking it.
“It seems like Jina is happy. Being loved by an ugly father and a good husband.”
Sehee looked at Iljun and said.
“If I’m an ugly father.”
“Oh, this person says that.”
At his reaction, Sehee covered her mouth and laughed.
“If a good son is so good because he takes after his father. He takes after his father.”
At Sehee’s words, Iljun smiled with a slightly relieved face.
“Yes. A son takes after his father.”
But still, there was a bitter look in his eyes. When he thought of Jinwoo, his mouth felt bitter. He had never shown himself as a proper father.
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.
