When Su Hee hesitated to follow, Seung Jo spoke up.
“Let’s continue our unfinished conversation next time.”
If she wanted, he could meet Su Hee again any time.
He had bought Studio Green at a high price to create a reason for that.
“Su Hee, come quickly.”
At Chul Yong’s call, who was holding the arrived elevator, Su Hee began to walk.
She felt Seung Jo’s gaze from behind, but she entered the elevator without looking back.
Inside the descending elevator, Chul Yong asked,
“What were you talking so much with the CEO about?”
“It was nothing.”
If she had said that CEO Han Seung Jo had offered to take responsibility for her, Chul Yong would have collapsed clutching his throat.
“You seem to be hiding a lot from me these days.”
Suspicion in his eyes was directed at Su Hee, but she managed to maintain a poker face with her acting skills built over the years.
“What am I hiding from you?”
“If there’s nothing, then good.”
Quickly getting over his doubts, Chul Yong didn’t push further.
Despite Chul Yong’s continued chatter after, one thing kept echoing in Su Hee’s ears.
“I will take responsibility.”
Why had that statement come before the declaration of a longtime fan quitting?
Was it easy for him to take responsibility, or did he like me enough to take responsibility for me?
Here, liking means being a fan.
“I said I would take responsibility for Ms. Oh Su Hee.”
Whatever the case.
What a strange person.
Buzz, buzz. Seung Jo’s words kept echoing in Su Hee’s ears for quite a while.
((()))((()))((()))
“Did you have a long talk with Ms. Oh Su Hee?”
As Seung Jo entered the office, Secretary Cha, as if he had been waiting, came to his side.
Although he seemed to expect an answer, Seung Jo didn’t show even a hint of acknowledgement.
As if he were used to this reaction, Secretary Cha opened the office door for Seung Jo, who stepped inside.
Seated on the office sofa, Seung Jo picked up a script placed on the table.
“Send these scripts to Oh Su Hee’s agency.”
“Understood.”
“And.”
As if there was more to instruct, Seung Jo slowly added more words.
“Secretary Cha mentioned before. About the YouTuber informer, said we could find out.”
Secretary Cha hid the smile that tried to break from his lips.
“Of course we can find out.”
“Find out as soon as possible about the informer.”
Soon, Secretary Cha, wearing a pleased smile, casually threw out a comment.
“So, you’re really concerned about Ms. Oh Su Hee, aren’t you?”
“……”
“Are you stepping in because you can’t stand it anymore?”
If he hadn’t done his job properly, Seung Jo would have fired Secretary Cha on the spot.
Secretary Cha, who earned his keep by reading the room, clamped his mouth shut under Seung Jo’s piercing gaze.
“I’ve talked too much.”
“You’ve said too much that’s unnecessary.”
“I’ll get going.”
The secretary Cha meticulously gathered the script on the table and left the CEO’s office.
Only after Secretary Cha left did the office fall into silence.
Seung Jo, leaning back on the sofa, recalled Su Hee who couldn’t hide her baffled expression.
“Why are you taking the blame?”
Maybe it was to be expected.
After all, someone who had no connection with him until now had stepped up to take responsibility.
Seung Jo had been watching Su Hee for a long time, but she wasn’t the one.
Had I known this would happen, I would have shown up in front of you sooner.
That you would have a man and a child.
I showed up in front of you without expecting anything.
Maybe I was hoping you’d recognize me, waiting for you.
“Is it too late?”
His hollow voice faintly echoed in the CEO’s office.
((()))((()))((()))
Su Hee, who had taken a sleeping pill and lethargically lied down on the bed, forced herself to go to sleep.
With her eyes wide open, tossing and turning, Su Hee finally fell asleep as dawn approached.
The pitchdark darkness, where nothing could be seen, lifted and revealed a school playground.
Su Hee, who was dropped alone in the playground, looked around.
“Ha ha ha.”
At the sound of cheerful laughter, she turned her head and a girl was sliding down a slide.
Upon closer inspection, the girl who came down the slide was none other than Su Hee, herself.
Her past self, not her current one, looked thirteen, if not younger.
Young Su Hee, who came down the slide, ran towards the swings.
There was a boy, who appeared to be in middle school, sitting on the swing wearing a uniform.
She wanted to get a closer look at his face, but it was as if it was covered in a faint mist and she couldn’t make out his features.
Squeak, squeak. The boy stopped the swing, which made a metal sound, and said something to Su Hee.
Young Su Hee puffed her cheeks with wind and pouted.
She leaned in closer in her dream to hear their conversation in more detail.
At that moment, the powerful voice of little Su Hee reached her.
“I’ll take responsibility!”
What is that tiny thing talking about taking responsibility?
Su Hee, who was furious, pursed her lips, but her words didn’t seem to reach the young Su Hee.
“I’ll be responsible for brother.”
Young Su Hee, who placed her hands on her waist, lifted her chin.
They say you live on bravado at that age, but she was quite mouthy towards the boy.
“Do you know what it means to take responsibility?”
Yes, well done!
The boy in the uniform asked the question Su Hee wanted to ask.
Then, as if it was a given, young Su Hee nodded her head vigorously.
Su Hee was even fearful of what words might come out of that audacious mouth.
“Uhhuh, I’ll marry you, brother.”
Bang!
It felt as though lightning had struck above her head, possibly because it was a dream.
She wanted to immediately cover that mouth and run away, but for some reason, not even a toe moved.
The mouth she couldn’t stop was still babbling away.
“So, don’t worry, brother Seung Jo.”
Brother Seung Jo?
Caught off guard by an unexpected name, Su Hee was taken aback.
At that moment, she caught sight of a blue name tag affixed to the left side of the boy’s white uniform.
Han Seung Jo.
Beep beep beep―
Startled by the alarm ringing in her ears, Su Hee sat up straight as if a spring had been installed in her back.
Caught in confusion, Su Hee had no time to tend to her messy hair.
Rather, she raised her hand and roughly ran her fingers through her hair.
“What is this.”
The dream was too vivid, it felt as if she had revisited the past.
As Su Hee tugged at her hair, she covered her mouth with her hand.
“Brother Seung Jo? Han Seung Jo?”
There was only one Seung Jo that Su Hee knew.
It was Han Seung Jo who had dropped the bombshell just yesterday, saying he would take responsibility for her.
But why was that Han Seung Jo appearing here?
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.
