Suddenly, Jin Woo bent down and examined Ji Na’s foot.
“Your foot is scraped.”
“Ah…., I didn’t know I would go out today, so I wore sandals.”
Of all the days, that morning, Ji Na had chosen to wear white sandals with heels, the last pair of shoes she picked after looking at the wornout ones in her shoe rack.
It was the prettiest pair among all the shoes she had, and without realizing, she thought of Jin Woo and put them on.
“I was too careless.”
No wonder her legs hurt so quickly.
Ji Na let out a shallow sigh.
“You can rest when you get home.”
Thinking that from tomorrow onwards, she would have to wear only flat shoes for a while, Ji Na squeezed her foot back into the sandal again. Even though she put it in as carefully as possible, she couldn’t avoid the sharp pain every time her foot touched the shoe.
“Sister.”
Jin Woo, who had been watching her, suddenly took off his shoes. Ji Na’s eyes widened at the sight of him turning his shoes over to her.
“Huh? What are you going to do?”
His foot, covered in white socks, was fully exposed.
“It looks like it’ll hurt too much to walk. Just wear these while we’re going to the two places.”
“You’re practically barefoot. You’ll hurt the soles of your feet.”
But Ji Na couldn’t accept his kindness. Clearly, she knew he would get hurt.
“Well, choose.”
Barefoot, Jin Woo opened his mouth as if nothing was wrong.
“1. You wear my shoes 2. I carry you.”
“Uh….?”
Ji Na was surprised, her mouth slightly open. Both options were hard to choose.
“I’m fine. I can go wearing my shoes.”
She tried to force her foot into the shoe again, but Jin Woo was faster. The shoe that was under his foot was now in Jin Woo’s hand.
“Seo Jin Woo.”
“The wound… it’s going to bleed.”
His gaze seemed somewhat serious, lower than before.
“I’m on duty. I should somehow handle it.”
“3. Let Seo Jin Woo do it.”
Was there a third option? At this completely unexpected item, Ji Na’s eyebrows raised slightly.
“You…?”
“Yes. I’ll do it.”
He was just an intern.
“Can you… handle it alone?”
It wasn’t a comment dismissing Jin Woo. If an employee from the main office was alone as an intern, he wouldn’t be able to do the job properly.
Nevertheless, she had reservations about leaving it to Jin Woo alone. A lot.
“Still, how can I let you go alone? I would definitely worry.”
When Ji Na spoke in a somewhat softer voice, Jin Woo’s eyes softened.
“I like hearing that you worry… but I don’t want to make you worry again.”
Ji Na had to say something, but she couldn’t say a word to Jin Woo. Suddenly, the bell on the table buzzed.
“I’ll get the coffee. Think about it in the meantime.”
Jin Woo, who spoke tenderly, got up and approached the counter. Ji Na’s heart thumped as she watched him walk towards the counter, without hesitation, in his bare feet.
Even without shoes, he didn’t look awkward at all. Rather, Jin Woo’s natural and elegant demeanor drew attention. Ji Na could feel the gazes of the people in the cafe on him.
“Oh my, look at that guy.”
“Wow, he’s really handsome.”
“Why is his skin so pale?”
“Is he a celebrity?”
The people murmuring seemed not to care whether Jin Woo was wearing shoes or not, as they were captivated by his appearance. Ji Na had to acknowledge Jin Woo’s good looks once again.
Soon, Jin Woo, who had brought the coffee, sat down in front of Ji Na. Her skin was still burning from the gazes directed at her.
“Sister, have you decided?”
Ji Na lifted her cup of coffee and finally opened her mouth.
“4.”
At the appearance of a number not listed in the options, one of Jin Woo’s eyebrows subtly rose.
“Buy comfortable slippers.”
Ji Na said, extending a card she had previously taken out.
“There’s a convenience store next to the café. They sell threecolored slippers. The size is 240.”
“Ah…”
Jin Woo, who had been alternately looking at Ji Na and the card, finally broke into laughter.
“Yes. Understood.”
In the hot summer air, his clear, refreshing laughter echoed, and a smile also broke out on Ji Na’s lips.
“Should I use the company card?”
Jin Woo asked with a playful look in his eyes. Ji Na shook her head.
“No, I might request a compensation claim for it all at once later.”
“Haha, I see.”
Jin Woo laughed lightly as if he couldn’t stop her.
“I’ll be back quickly.”
Jin Woo, who had put his shoes on properly, quickly left the cafe. His coffee remained untouched.
Ji Na suddenly recalled a day long ago, the first time she went on an external job with Do Jin.
‘Ji Na, this is how you do it here.’
Ji Na, who had only recently joined the company, was clumsy at everything. Naturally.
Do Jin, with his neat appearance, was Ji Na’s supervisor and rather than getting angry at her mistakes, he explained things in detail.
At that time, Ji Na thought she had met a pretty good supervisor.
‘Ouch.’
Back then, her tender feet were chafed by the new shoes she had bought when she joined the company. Do Jin went into a pharmacy and bought a bandage for her.
‘At first, everyone goes through this. You’ll be fine once you get used to it. Just like a callus.’
‘Can I come wearing comfortable shoes like sneakers?’
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.
