“Wow, I’m curious. It’s good to hear congratulations after such a long time. It seems like things are going well for Yuna too.”
“That’s right. Yuna originally wanted to do broadcasting. Who would have known, getting married makes things work out better.”
“Thanks to Se-kyung. I went to see her and met PD Lim.”
Smiling at his friends’ words, Yuna tightly hugged Se-kyung’s arm.
“I know that very well, as if it’s nailed into my ears. Um, and I feel like it might not be appropriate to bring up this topic in this atmosphere.”
Ja-hyun observed Se-kyung’s reaction. Wondering what difficult thing she was trying to say, Se-kyung giggled.
“Do you happen to know a girl named Na-kyung?”
Se-kyung looked at Yuna. It was the name of her friend, who was close to Ju-hee. They were from the same agency, but Se-kyung, who had prepared for her debut belatedly, didn’t have much contact with her. She had seen her face a few times while coming and going.
“We’re not close, but I know her face.”
Actually, that person is also a member who gathers with us. Couldn’t make it today because of the child. Na-kyung wanted me to tell you she’s sorry. She thinks she said something unnecessary to Ju-hee and made things difficult for you.
“Okay. It wasn’t said with ill intentions. Besides, even if it weren’t that friend, it would be…”
Trrrrrrrr.
At that moment, a loud bell rang at the end of the table. Se-kyung paused for a moment and looked in that direction.
“Oh, sorry.”
A woman with a phone in her hand looked at Se-kyung with an embarrassed face. Then, she lowered her voice and answered the call.
“Hey. It’s me. Okay, we’re all here. Oh, us? We’ve almost finished eating and are about to tidy up. Um, maybe we’ll move our seats… What? You came here? Oh, wait a moment. I’ll go out…”
As if something awkward had happened, the woman got up from her seat. When she grabbed the doorknob and pushed it aside, a voice from outside could be heard.
“Why? Why are you coming out? Are you moving seats now? Since it’s J-a-hyun’s name, she was giving the room number…?”
Due to the belated arrival of this person, the atmosphere inside the room turned tense in an instant. Ja-hyun, sitting in front of Se-kyung, touched her forehead unexpectedly in the unexpected situation, and Yu-na’s eyebrows were slightly wrinkled.
“Ju-hee, how could you… Didn’t you say you couldn’t come today because of your schedule?”
The woman standing in front of the door alternately looked at Se-kyung and Ju-hee with an unsettled expression.
“…”
Se-kyung silently stared at Ju-hee.
Perhaps she didn’t expect Se-kyung to be here, and Se-kyung’s hand in Ju-hee’s stiffened.
The friends sitting in their seats exchanged glances with Se-kyung and Ju-hee. The atmosphere, which was warm due to the presence of one person, quickly became chilly.
After responding to the message from Tae-jo that they were almost all there, Se-kyung looked at Ju-hee, who was sitting in front of her.
Contrary to expectations, Se-kyung, who thought Ju-hee would ignore her words and just leave, whether she thought it was an escape or some kind of resentment, willingly entered and took a seat in front of Se-kyung.
Thanks to that, the friends who had arrived first felt uncomfortable in this place.
“Um… How about we slowly move to another seat?”
Ja-hyun suggested, trying to break the frozen atmosphere. Se-kyung smiled slightly and asked them to wait for a moment.
“Today might be our only chance to talk with Ju-hee.”
Following Se-kyung’s words, Ju-hee, who had initially tried to leave, found herself detained by Se-kyung.
Contrary to expectations, Ju-hee, who could have simply ignored the situation and departed, whether perceiving it as an escape or harboring some resentment, willingly entered and took a seat in front of Se-kyung.
As a result, the initial camaraderie among the friends in the room turned awkward.
“What does that mean? No chance to talk? Are you telling me to leave the entertainment industry or something?”
“No, did Se-kyung tell you to retire from the entertainment industry? Why the hypersensitive reaction?”
In response to sensitive Ju-hee’s reaction, Yuna shouted angrily. Ju-hee’s sharp gaze was directed at Yuna.
“Why, what. Is Se-kyung being blamed for your mid-drama departure this time?”
“Yuna.”
Se-kyung grabbed Yuna’s excited hand. Yuna turned her mouth towards Se-kyung, who was trying to restrain her.
“Don’t misunderstand. When I said there wouldn’t be a chance to talk unless it’s today, it’s because I don’t see you often, not like meeting Yuna. See you today. If your schedule hadn’t ended early, you wouldn’t have had a chance to see my face.”
“…”
“But isn’t it strange? We don’t see each other often, but whenever there’s an article about me, your name always comes up.”
Now that she thought about it, Ju-hee raised the corners of her mouth, wondering if she had called her in front of friends to criticize her.
“Oh, why did you ask me to come in? Is it because of what I said on YouTube?”
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.
