“Quit the nonsense. Have you finished shooting?”
“It’s not all done. I have to wait for the next shooting. But…..”
When Seokju looked at him for an explanation, Taejo tactfully opened his mouth.
“Yoon Se Kyung’s manager has left due to some work.”
“What? On this cold day? Ah, should’ve said it earlier. Then I would have told her to stay in my van.”
“No, it’s okay. I have to go back to shooting in a little while. I’m fine, so don’t worry about me.”
Just fine, huh. Her voice was shaking sweetly like a kid goat, didn’t seem fine at all.
“Stay inside. If you’re uncomfortable being with Seokju, don’t worry. I’m going to be here anyway. This guy can stay in my car.”
“No. Uncomfortable! Where can you find someone as easygoing as me…….”
Seokju objected with a hop, but Taejo lightly ignored his words.
Ah, I didn’t get the handkerchief back that time.
Ziiiiiiing.
Awakened from his reverie by the long ring of his vibrating phone, Taejo picked up the call after checking the caller ID.
“Yes, Team Leader Go.”
President Jin, are you available for a call right now?
Team Leader Go was the one who managed the wealth of Taejo’s family.
“Go ahead.”
Um, it’s about the mixeduse apartment in Seongsudong that you mentioned earlier today. It’s in a liveable condition right now, but it seems the refrigerator is broken due to longterm nonuse.
“Really? Anything else?”
The appliances and furniture are all clean enough to use right away. We finished cleaning today during the inspection. If needed, we can order a new refrigerator right away and have it installed tomorrow. But, are you moving in? What about your house in Hannamdong?
“No, it’s not for me. There’s someone wandering in a hotel for a long time. Alright, I got it. I’ll ask the person and get back to you.”
Yes, I’ll wait for your call.
Having finished the call with Team Leader Go, Taejo found Se Kyung’s number. Whether she had her phone in hand, she picked up as soon as the call went through.
“Hello?”
Yes, Mr. President.
Taejo, who had his phone to his ear, was looking out the window.
Why is her voice shaking so much? It doesn’t seem that cold today.
“What were you doing? You picked up so quickly.”
I was just on my way back to the hotel after meeting a friend. Um, but… what’s up?
“Oh, it’s nothing. You’re staying at a hotel now, right, Se Kyung?”
Yes.
“I was just wondering if you were thinking of moving somewhere else. I have an apartment that’s about to become vacant. It’s fully furnished and equipped. Only the refrigerator needs to be replaced. If you’re moving in, you can use it.”
Ah……. You called for that?
At Se Kyung’s response, Taejo tilted his head. He didn’t know why, but her voice sounded relieved.
“Um, yes. Why, did you think I was calling for something else?”
“No, that’s not it. Well, I appreciate the offer, but I’m fine. Living in a hotel isn’t so bad.”
“Even so. You’ll run into other guests, not just reporters. Won’t that be uncomfortable?”
“I don’t really care if I do.”
“Really, the hotel is better? Think about it before you answer. I won’t ask twice.”
“Even if you ask twice, my answer will be the same. But thank you for your consideration.”
Regardless, there was no easy way to accept what was offered, not really.
“If that’s what Ms. Se Kyung wants. But that house will be empty for a while, so if you ever change your mind, just say so.”
“Sure. I’ll let you know. Get some rest.”
“Okay.”
Tae Jo, having ended the call, looked at the cell phone in his hand.
For some reason, his ears were itchy.
It wasn’t the first time hearing Se Kyung’s voice, yet why did it make him feel so strange?
“Is it because I’m recalling old memories?”
Tae Jo, who was scratching his ear, tossed his cell phone onto the sofa.
After hanging up the phone, Se Kyung slumped down on the spot. Her legs were powerless from the released tension.
Before Tae Jo’s call, she had seen Seok Ju’s text, which scared her.
His text asking if anything had happened made her assume Tae Jo remembered that event.
“Huh.”
Se Kyung took a deep breath and got up. As she moved towards the hotel, Seok Ju called her.
“Yes, senior.”
“Oh, Se Kyung. Didn’t you see the text I sent?”
“I did. I was going to reply, but then I got a call…”
“From whom?”
“From CEO Jin.”
Heehee. She heard a sound of choking from the other side. Seok Ju was crying out that Tae Jo had called her in the morning to keep asking if she came alone to the room.
“So you told him we came in together?”
“No. I didn’t mention it because you asked me not to this morning…”
Seok Ju trailed off, as if he was bothered by something.
“Seeing him insist so much, it seems like something happened.”
“…”
“I trust you, Se Kyung, since I know what kind of person you are. But… I was worried that a drunk Tae Jo might have done something terrible to you.”
Senior, it seems I was also involved in that terrible thing…
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.
