It took about two hours. The makeup that started at 10 o’clock was completed by the time it was 12 o’clock.
“Okay, we’re done.”
At the sound of finally finishing, Ji Na opened her eyes. She knew all too well that trying to put watermelon on a pumpkin wouldn’t work, so she thought her puffy face, no matter how much makeup she applied, wouldn’t be covered.
With no expectations, Ji Na opened her eyes and thought she was looking at someone else.
“Wow…”
Unintentionally, she made a sound of amazement, causing the manager next to her to snort.
“So, what do you think? You may not know who the groom is today, but if he sees you, he’ll regret it for the next 10 years.”
Ji Na’s reflection in the mirror was beautiful. Her transparent face, which seemed to have both makeup and none at the same time, was completely natural. However, her eyes seemed twice as big as usual, and her pupils were deep.
The pupils, as if they had been moved to a lake, seemed to fall in love even when Ji Na looked at herself.
Her features were even sharper, and any concerns about puffiness had long disappeared. From her small face to her chest-length flowing hair, she exuded a mysterious yet sophisticated aura.
“Oh… Is this really me?”
“Yes. We only enhanced your natural beauty. We didn’t make fakes or force anything.”
Just then, Jin Woo, who had gone out for a moment, returned with a large shopping bag.
“Is it all done?”
As Jin Woo asked the manager, he turned his head and looked at Ji Na absentmindedly. His pupils stiffened in an instant.
“Oh…”
As if his breath had stopped, the frozen Jin Woo finally opened his mouth.
“Much more than I thought…”
Not knowing what to say, Jin Woo’s words faltered, unlike his usual self. Laughing at Jin Woo’s unfamiliar appearance, Ji Na chuckled.
“Thank you.”
Ji Na got up abruptly, looking around to pay the bill.
“I’ll handle the bill…”
“Oh, your boyfriend already took care of it.”
At the manager’s words, Ji Na turned to look at Jin Woo in surprise.
“I could have paid.”
“I brought you here without warning.”
Shrugging his shoulders, Jin Woo said.
“And this.”
Jin Woo handed over the shopping bag he had brought.
“What’s this?”
Unconcernedly taking the shopping bag and taking out its contents, Ji Na’s eyes widened. The commotion from the people around her was louder than Ji Na’s.
“Oh my! Isn’t this an Hermès bag?”
The manager and the employees below crowded around.
“No, it’s hard to get one. How did you get it?”
As if they were looking at a strange object, they couldn’t touch it easily and kept cheering.
“What is this?”
Perplexed, Ji Na turned to Jin Woo and asked again.
“Women supposedly notice each other’s handbags first…”
It was something Jin Woo had prepared in a pitiful attempt to boost his ex-girlfriend’s wounded pride. Ji Na couldn’t quite grasp her emotions.
“You didn’t have to go this far.”
Her memories of her ex-boyfriend had crumbled like a sandcastle long ago, along with the uncertainty that maybe they had existed from the beginning.
“No one even knows I was his ex-girlfriend. Our relationship was a secret.”
Now, thinking about it, she realized she had been quite foolish. Dojin had been reluctant to reveal himself. No matter what excuses she tried to make, she was simply a convenient word for him.
“If you don’t like it, you don’t have to wear it.”
Jin Woo said as gasps were heard from the people around them. Some wondered if she would throw it away, what she would do. Isn’t it worth millions? In response to the murmurs, Ji Na said to Jin Woo.
“Get a refund. I don’t need it.”
Handing the shopping bag to Jin Woo, Ji Na walked into the beauty shop ahead of him. The wedding venue was located in the same Gangnam area, but due to traffic, they would barely make it on time.
During the entire ride to the wedding venue, Jin Woo remained silent. The quiet interior created a stifling stillness. Ji Na, who had briefly felt like Cinderella, wondered if it was really necessary to do this at her ex-boyfriend’s wedding venue.
‘No one knows.’
So, why am I feeling angry? Or…
Just Jin Woo was enough. She didn’t need anything else. When she realized that, Ji Na turned her head towards Jin Woo, who was gazing out of the window, seemingly lost in thought.
“I’m not mad at you.”
In a slightly softened voice, Jin Woo smiled faintly.
“I know.”
With one hand not on the steering wheel, he gently held Ji Na’s hand.
“I know.”
His warm voice and touch made Ji Na’s heart race.
Like any other wedding venue, it was bustling and crowded. Dojin, dressed neatly, bowed incessantly in greeting.
There were so many company employees that you might think it was a company event. They exchanged casual greetings with Ji Na and Jin Woo from the entrance.
It seemed like they were coming to the company. Ji Na stopped for a moment, swallowing her dry saliva. She had never thought about revenge. But Dojin’s regretful appearance seemed worth watching. Ji Na lowered her head slightly towards Jin Woo.
“I’m talking about that bag. I guess I can return it after carrying it once, right?”
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.
