It felt really fortunate today that words came out after going through the brain.
If they had come straight out of her mouth, what a disgrace that would have been.
“Ah……”
Despite the brief call, Do Ha had surmised everything.
An unwelcome figure, who wasn’t supposed to show up, had intruded, and so Shin Yeon was in a tough spot. He’d figured that much already.
“Still, I didn’t expect you to come in person. It was a real surprise.”
And he meant it.
Even if Shin Yeon knew that he was aware of the situation, she wouldn’t have anticipated his visit.
“What exactly is your complaint?”
“No, it’s not a complaint!”
Shin Yeon exclaimed in a desperate voice.
“I just wish you had told me. What if our paths had crossed and… ”
Words she didn’t mean flowed out in a cloudy murmur.
Gratitude and regret existed at the same time.
Complicated emotions were overlaid with various thoughts.
“So I came out right away.”
“Pardon?”
“I didn’t even change my clothes. Just came out right away.”
Do Ha, still with his eyes closed, spoke.
“….”
Then, there was a moment of silence.
‘Ah….’
Do Ha seemed to have considered more than expected.
How his casual attire would look in front of others, something she thought Do Ha wouldn’t care about.
…was not the case.
He had merely prioritized the urgency of the situation and the potential for their paths to cross.
Shin Yeon had momentarily forgotten, but he was incredibly meticulous.
Even when Do Ha was new, he clearly did what he had to do, deliberately leaving visible errors.
Not long ago, he made a similar mistake when he used email terms incorrectly in a message to Shin Yeon and was pointed out by Min, the agent.
While sending perfectly prepared business documents, he pretended to be awkward with English business terms used in email.
Looking back, all mistakes were minor things that didn’t affect the job, and they all happened at once in an email referred to by several people.
“Do Ha seems a bit… unusual.”
“What now.”
Now, he seemed truly annoyed and responded almost reflexively.
“….He seems to do things roughly, but he’s subtly calculative.”
What Shin Yeon thought he had made her do for no reason turned out to be quite helpful in a competitive presentation.
“He seems thoughtless, but remembers small details.”
‘Because I promised.’
She thought it was just a casual remark, but he actually bought a new phone to replace the broken one.
Even when they thought they were driving each other crazy with coffee errands, he bought dozens of cups.
“He pretends not to know, but he knows better than anyone.”
He had seen through everything in the seemingly simple call.
Yet, he asked Shin Yeon when she would come as if he didn’t know anything.
“Seems to have a bad temper, but maybe not…….”
It was Do Ha, skeptical when he said he would bring someone to the wedding.
He who was so, rushed over in a single stride.
He offered clumsy consolation that could be felt without words.
Confused.
“Who the hell is Mr. Do Ha?”
Really, who? What’s really going on?
Suddenly, she became curious.
The more time she spent with him, the more she didn’t understand.
What the hell is it?
“Shin Yeon.”
Do Ha, who had been closing his eyes to Yeon’s last question, slowly opened them.
Do Ha, slightly turning his head, looked at Yeon.
His head was still leaning against the seat, speaking in a languid voice.
“Why. Did you fall in love?”
She looked like she was going to suffocate again.
Yeon couldn’t deny that those eyes made it hard not to fall in love.
His loose, moving lips were even charming.
Pitterpatter.
The sound of rain echoed into the taxi, dampened by the summer drizzle.
“Even though I told you to just pretend to like.”
Gulp, Yeon swallowed her dry saliva.
“It’s troublesome if you really fall in love.”
At this moment, more than anything, silence was needed.
She needed to quiet those lips.
It was too beautiful a scene to just enjoy with the eyes.
However, those lips do not allow time to immerse in admiration.
It doesn’t give a minute of consideration.
“Don’t like me too much.”
It wasn’t a question that required a response.
It was more of a command than a monologue.
“It’s dangerous.”
“Excuse me?”
“I’m a man with more stories than you see.”
Ah.
Is this what they call playing hard to get?
She was flabbergasted.
Hey, I never said I liked you…
“I’ll try.”
Following him, Yeon, leaning against the seat, moistened her gaze.
“It will be very painful, but I will do my best.”
Yeon’s eyes were pitiful to anyone who saw them.
She was looking at him with a desperate expression as if she was about to shed tears any moment.
“Huh.”
Do Ha spat out a short sigh, as if her blatant act was absurd.
“A man with secrets. Fatal, but very dangerous.”
Yeon didn’t yield and spoke up again.
“No, he could be a married man, a person who already has two kids. How can I just like him carelessly.”
“What?”
Wait and see.
“I will do my best. It will be very difficult.”
“Hey, I’m neither a married man nor have two kids…”
“Can I drop you off here?”
Just as Do Jun was about to make an excuse, the taxi driver interrupted him.
“Yes, yes! Sir.”
As Shin Yeon nodded vigorously, the taxi came to a stop in front of the apartment building entrance.
Turning her head slightly, she saw Do Jun looking at her with heavily furrowed eyes.
His eyes, full of discontent, were seething with life.
“Ah! Please restrain those eyes. I feel like falling for them each time I see them.”
Contrary to him, Shin Yeon, whose eyes were filled with mischief, tightened her body as if she was scared.
While Do Jun looked uncomfortable, Shin Yeon seemed to be very comfortable.
“Miss Shin Yeon.”
Do Jun called her in a low voice.
Shin Yeon looked at him with a naive expression.
She seemed to be mimicking Do Jun, who always pretended to be calm.
“Ha.”
He, who was about to say a word at her appearance, closed his mouth tightly.
Bang.
He roughly opened the car door and headed outside.
“Miss Shin Yeon. You’ll pay the taxi fare.”
His expression seemed to say that.
Forget it, what’s the point in saying more.
Shin Yeon laughed at the sight of Do Jun like that.
“Just look at that roughness. So cool… Ah, I’m already tired.”
It’s hard to suppress this.
Whether it was Do Jun being petulant that was amusing, a smile filled the corners of Shin Yeon’s mouth.
She readily extended her card with a light gesture.
Ah, it was such a fun drive.
“I’m Do Jun Seo.”
Outside the open taxi, Do Jun could be seen making a phone call somewhere.
“Bring the revised contract. Let’s cut down ten million won.”
Huh?
“Ah, hold on! Ah, wait! Mister Do Jun Seo!”
I messed up. I really did.
Shin Yeon couldn’t get out because the payment wasn’t completed.
“Yes. Also, remove the performance bonus clause.”
Do Jun continued the call, laughing at her, who was shuffling her feet.
“Ah, really! I made a mistake. Ah, I messed up, really!”
One summer.
Shin Yeon, who hated the rain, it was still falling.
The fact that she had been crying a while ago seemed to have been completely forgotten.

Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
