No matter what, this was insane.
But then, I understand your feelings.
I understand enough. Let’s cooperate a bit more.
“Were you pissed because I was too late?”
It was a situation where I couldn’t just leave immediately.
Shin Yeon’s table was at the very end.
Running out to answer a boyfriend’s call would also look ridiculous.
In such situations, you have to maintain as relaxed a pace as possible.
[Shin Yeon, where are you moving to?]
My leisurely pace quickened a bit.
“Brother. No, that’s not it. That couldn’t be.”
[Why the hell are you doing this? Where are you?]
I suddenly really wanted to run.
I wanted to sprint and run out with all my might.
But it was already spilled milk.
Clack clack, I tried to walk as elegantly as possible, making elegant shoe sounds.
“I mean, it’s the hotel across from the LJ Convention. The lounge bar there.”
[What?]
“Ah, why, you know, the hotel we went to before.”
[…….]
A momentary silence continued over the phone.
A bit of silence created a greater sense of fear than his harsh words.
Then a malevolent voice is heard.
[You’re writing your resignation very freshly.]
I tried to speed up a bit more.
I, I’m scared.
In the end, Shin Yeon quickly slipped out of the lounge bar.
“Ah, sorry! It was Mr. Do Jun. It was so noisy inside, I got confused. I thought you were Sung Min brother.”
Her feigned calm voice tone had gotten considerably higher.
[Are you going to hotels with that guy?]
Oh no.
I forgot that remark.
“Well, it’s an employee’s private life, could you mind your own business?”
I’m really sorry, brother.
I inwardly relayed an unreachable apology to Sung Min.
[You keep telling me to mind my own business while you’re shoving your private life in my face.]
“I’m, I’m sorry……”
There’s more than one place I need to apologize.
[Done, when are you coming. Kim Jun Oh is on his way.]
“I’ll be there soon!”
[Are you kidding? When is soon?]
Let’s see.
If I go too soon, it’ll seem like I’m running away.
If I say I’ll be there in about 15 minutes.
Since it only takes a few minutes by taxi to get home…
“I’m sure I’ll arrive in 30 minutes at the latest.”
[Are you sure?]
“Absolutely. I’m absolutely sure. Even if you tell me to stay longer, I can’t.”
Shin Yeon spoke in a clear voice.
Seriously.
With Park Jin Woo also here, how much longer would I have to stay?
[Wrap it up as soon as possible and come.]
“Yes! I’ll be right there!”
Click.
Looking at her disconnected phone, a bright expression rose again on Shin Yeon’s face.
Of course, even though it seemed like it was sorted out, it was clear that I would hear from Do Jun later.
She was bound to pay the price for her nonsense.
But she was not afraid. Rather, it was good.
Being with someone and getting scolded was much better than being at home alone with this feeling.
“Huh, what a mess this is.”
Clack clack.
With her mobile phone in hand, Shin Yeon took another firm step.
Her steps had become a bit stronger than before.
“Finished your call?”
As Shin Yeon returned to her seat, one of her peers asked her.
Although it wasn’t as noticeable as before, the subtle gazes persisted.
“Yeah. But I don’t think I can stay long. My brother is coming….”
“Oh, that’s a shame. Sit a bit more before you leave.”
“Alright.”
With a troubled smile, Shin Yeon sat down.
She downed the cocktail that had been placed in front of her.
The cocktail was still good, despite being diluted with ice while she was gone.
The cocktail was still the same.
“Ugh…”
It was bitter.
.
.
.
In truth, she felt a bit of regret.
“So, Jin Woo has moved to Korea permanently?”
She should’ve just left straight away.
She should’ve made an excuse and run away when she got the call from Mr. Seo Do Joon.
“Yes, he’s completely moved in. He’s not going anywhere now.”
Only her anxious fingertips were jittery due to the awkward timing.
She didn’t want to ruin the mood unnecessarily, but more than anything else,
“Did you change jobs then?”
She couldn’t block her perked up ears.
Every time she intended to leave, news about him would reach her.
“Yes. I started work this week.”
This was just plain curiosity.
It wasn’t interest.
It was just the news about her ex reaching her ears.
Unless she sent a DM, she wasn’t shaken.
“Where did you start working?”
Her deep curiosity overlaid the discomfort she felt from being in the same space as him.
It was a strange feeling that she couldn’t quite explain.
Despite not being interested, she was curious.
Why? Was she the only one like this?
“I….”
In that moment when she was all ears,
“Hey, Shin Yeon. Didn’t you say your boyfriend is coming?”
Jung Eun’s voice sharply pierced through.
She had been watching Shin Yeon all this time.
Seeing the seemingly conscious behaviour of Shin Yeon towards Park Jin Woo, Jung Eun couldn’t hold back and called out to her.
“Looks like my brother is running late.”
She tried to defend herself. Not yet, Jung Eun.
Be mindful. It’s not that kind of atmosphere now.
I’m just investigating due to pure curiosity…
Drring drring.
What pierced sharply into her ears again was Shin Yeon’s mobile phone.
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.
