Se Kyung’s legs trembled unwittingly, reminiscent of a horror movie protagonist.
Desiring to turn and flee somewhere, she was disheartened that her potential companion showed no intention of escaping.
Pondering if they should at least unclasp their hands, Se Kyung slightly twisted her wrist. Contrarily, Tae Jo grasped her hand more firmly, as if to demonstrate.
“Hmm, wouldn’t this aggravate Manager Kang even more?” she thought.
Glued to Tae Jo’s side, Se Kyung stared at Manager Kang, whose cheeks trembled upon noticing the couple’s fidgeting fingers.
“Wow, I thought it was just a rumor,” Woo Hyun gasped.
He had brushed off the administrative team’s inquiry about their relationship as mere nonsense.
His skepticism shifted when he twice witnessed Se Kyung and Tae Jo holding hands.
“That’s strange.”
“Isn’t it?”
With Se Kyung quietly exiting the room and another gone to smoke without returning, the night progressed.
As inebriated employees stumbled like zombies, Woo Hyun and Suk Ju, troubled, left the room. The surroundings, including Tae Jo, were deserted.
Both wondered if Se Kyung had retreated to an empty room to sleep.
“Ahh, it’s cold.”
Though spring, the night air was chilling.
Manager Kang, without a coat, shivered, hands tucked under his armpits.
As the two shivered in the cold and were about to head back inside, they sensed a presence.
“…….”
“…….”
Woo Hyun and Suk Ju looked at each other and moved towards the sound.
The annex’s quietness made the noises from the entrance of the flower-lined path clearer.
The men hid behind a rock near a tree and spotted a couple approaching.
They knew employees often secretly dated here, but didn’t expect these two.
“They really are holding hands,” Woo Hyun noted, gesturing between Se Kyung and Tae Jo.
I heard employees dating often secretly stroll here…
I never imagined it would be these two.
“They really are holding hands,” Woo Hyun gestured alternately at Se Kyung and Tae Jo.
“Have you turned unnecessarily sweet because you’re dating Ms. Se Kyung?”
Instead of replying, Tae Jo just shrugged his shoulders, yet still held Se Kyung’s hand.
“Hey, this…”
Woo Hyun, about to curse, was silenced quickly by Seok Ju covering his mouth.
“What, are you two really dating?”
Seok Ju looked at Se Kyung for an answer as Tae Jo seemed unlikely to respond. But Se Kyung just smiled, giving no clear answer.
“We’ll talk about this later.”
They weren’t in the right place for such discussions. Tae Jo kicked at the air dismissively and gestured towards the dormitory.
“Let’s sort things out over there first.”
Se Kyung sat on the sofa, her face stiff. They had returned to the room, but the drinking party had ended abruptly.
Those wanting more drinks moved to their assigned rooms, and the four needing to talk privately also moved to an annex.
“How am I supposed to process this?”
Manager Kang, still in shock, rubbed his face vigorously.
Tae Jo and Se Kyung dating? The news was sobering.
“Since when? You two showed no signs,” Seok Ju asked while munching on snacks. Unlike Manager Kang, Seok Ju seemed to accept their relationship more easily.
“We haven’t been dating officially for long.”
“Officially? So was there something like a fling before?”
If it was just a fling, Seok Ju wouldn’t have been so bothered. Unbeknownst to others, a history had unfolded between the two.
“But why didn’t you tell us?”
Manager Kang glared at Tae Jo. They weren’t strangers, and it was half upsetting, half annoying to hear about their relationship from someone else.
“We planned to tell you later.”
“Later? Why?”
“We had a few things to consider. It seemed better to speak when things were more certain.”
“What things? If you were hiding it, hide it properly. Were you flaunting it at work?”
Manager Kang scoffed dismissively.
“Unless there was some event, I don’t understand. How could the relationship change so quickly?”
Tae Jo, of all people?
“You don’t know because there was an event.”
“What event? Wait. Now that I think of it, didn’t your sister-in-law send flowers to Ms. Se Kyung?”
“Right. So, your sister-in-law knows about you and Ms. Se Kyung?”
At Woo Hyun’s observation, Seok Ju’s eyes widened. As Tae Jo nodded, Manager Kang’s eyes nearly popped out.
“She knows too? What are you planning…”
“We’re thinking about getting married.”
“What?”
Woo Hyun was speechless.
After living like a monk for nine years, had Tae Jo slightly lost his mind?
“Is it true, Ms. Se Kyung? Isn’t President Jin just talking nonsense?”
Seeking a sensible answer, Manager Kang turned to Se Kyung. He hoped President Jin was just rambling, but Se Kyung crushed that hope with an awkward smile.
“Yes.”
“Oh my…”
Disbelieving, Manager Kang closed his eyes, seeking a god he didn’t believe in. Tae Jo then spoke up.
“There’s one more thing to tell you.”
“What now?”
Tae Jo looked at Se Kyung. Understanding his intent, she nodded.
“Ms. Se Kyung is pregnant.”
“Uh?”
Seok Ju froze, cookie still in his mouth.
And then…
“You jerk!”
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.
