Mrs. Ma, who got off the elevator, quickened her pace. Yeryeong also hurriedly followed her.
The two headed towards the VIP ward, checked Se-gyeong’s name on the wall, and opened the door to the room.
“…….”
Inside the room, where only the sound of a humidifier could be heard, was eerily silent.
Mrs. Ma took Yeryeong’s hand and entered the room. Her hand, tightened with tension, was damp from anxiety. She quietly inhaled when she saw Se-gyeong lying on the bed.
“Taejo.”
Calling her son, his shoulders, which had been as still as a rock, twitched. Se-gyeong’s hand in his, he bowed his head as if in prayer, slowly turning to look back.
“Mother.”
A tightly locked voice flowed from Taejo’s mouth. Mrs. Ma, with Yeryeong, approached the bed.
Se-gyeong’s complexion, receiving a drip, was pale. Mrs. Ma, who was carefully observing Se-gyeong’s body as if afraid to touch it, cautiously lowered her hand.
“What happened here? Do you know how shocked I was when I got your call?”
“Let’s talk outside. Se-gyeong just fell asleep a while ago.”
Mrs. Ma nodded her head. Taejo, placing Se-gyeong’s hand inside the blanket, sat up.
Closing the door to the room, Taejo leaned against it and looked inside through the glass window. Mrs. Ma, growing anxious, glared at her son.
“Now tell me. How did this happen? Why is Se-gyeong in the hospital? What happened?”
“She’s bleeding. How is her condition now? Is the baby okay?”
Worried, Yeryeong poured out urgent questions. Taejo, looking at Se-gyeong through the glass window, spoke.
“They want to assess the situation. The test results say there’s no problem with the baby for now, but the bleeding won’t stop. Moreover, Se-gyeong has been having a fever, and she says her stomach hurts.”
“Why did this happen? Nothing like this has ever happened before.”
“We had a photoshoot today. The location was a hotel swimming pool, and she fell in there….”
“What? Fell into the swimming pool? Why? Did she slip on something?”
“N-no, it’s not like that!”
A unfamiliar voice intervened unexpectedly. Mrs. Ma turned around, her expression changing. A man and a young woman, their eyes red as if they had been crying for a long time, were standing there, looking in their direction.
“Who?”
Mrs. Ma asked Taejo, who answered, “They are employees of our company. Director Song Ji-hwa and Se-gyeong’s manager.”
“Se-gyeong’s manager?”
Mrs. Ma’s gaze turned to Jehoon. The voice that interjected during the conversation belonged to the man.
If that’s the case, it means that manager knows something. Mrs. Ma asked Jehoon.
“What did you just say? It’s not like that?”
“Se-gyeong, noona, didn’t slip. I saw it. O Yeori, that person, deliberately made noona fall!”
When Jehoon’s mouth uttered a familiar name, Mrs. Ma’s eyes narrowed suspiciously.
“Now… What did you say? Who made Se-gyeong fall? O Yeori?”
Mrs. Ma looked at Taejo with eyes filled with shock.
Why is O Yeori’s name mentioned when Se-gyeong is injured?
“Is that statement true?”
“Yeri was indeed at the shooting location with Se-gyeong.”
Mrs. Ma’s face stiffened. She had heard from Mrs. Im that O Yeori had entered Korea.
But that girl was in the same place as Se-gyeong. Did she make Se-gyeong fall into the swimming pool?
“Huh, what is this…”
Mrs. Ma touched her forehead as if her head hurt.
She looked at Taejo. Suddenly, the day her son’s head was injured, and they rushed to the hospital emergency room flashed in her mind.
Even at that time, O Yeori was there. What is the reason that O Yeori is pushing Taejo and Se-gyeong to such an extent?
“Is everything you just said true?”
Mrs. Ma asked the new manager to confirm.
“Yes. That person grabbed Se-gyeong noona’s arm and pulled her. I tried to go and pull that woman off, but suddenly, noona fell into the water…”
If he had been there, Se-gyeong wouldn’t have fallen into the water.
The manager, whose words ended with a sense of guilt, shed tears of remorse.
“I’m sorry. I should have stayed by her side.”
“That bruise we saw earlier…”
Yeryeong remembered Se-gyeong’s arm that Taejo had pushed into the blanket a while ago. It looked as if it had collided with something, with a fresh color rising on her white skin. Could it be that O Yeori grabbed her and caused it?
“Se-gyeong is lying like that.”
“…”
“Yeri, where is that girl?”
Mrs. Ma looked at Taejo with a cold gaze. He shook his head, seemingly not knowing well.
“I also saw them at the swimming pool, and after that…”
“I contacted the shooting director there to ask. Between the time we moved Se-gyeong to the hospital, she disappeared from the shooting location.”
“Disappeared? Did she run away as is?”
“Yes. I don’t know where she went, but… To find out about O Yeori, you might have to ask her agency. I saw her coming with A&J Entertainment’s CEO this morning.”
Director Song cautiously observed Mrs. Ma’s reaction. After a moment of contemplation, Mrs. Ma asked Taejo.
“Did you contact Se-gyeong’s mother?”
“Yes. She said she’s coming up to Seoul right away.”
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.
