It was the first broadcast day.
Yeoreum moved busily while humming a tune. Bongole, wine, cheese platter, salad. She didn’t even notice Taeseok staring at her intently while busy moving between the kitchen and the living room.
At times like this, she seemed like a squirrel. It would be entertaining if she handed him one acorn.
“It’s been a long time since you came to our house, right, oppa?”
“Yeah. Should I help with that?”
“No! Don’t move. I’ll take care of it!”
Although Yeoreum had already declined a hundred times, she insisted once again.
Yeong went on a trip with the Lovely Roses members, so Yeoreum invited Taeseok to her house. She couldn’t muster the confidence to watch the first episode alone.
“Is everything ready, oppa? Did I forget anything?”
Yeoreum, who was moving frantically between the kitchen and the living room, finally stopped.
“It’s enough.”
Taeseok, who didn’t need anything else except Yeoreum, didn’t care about the treatment she offered. Whether there was food or not, it didn’t matter. If he was really hungry, he could order something. In a world where everything was delivered.
Taeseok pulled Yeoreum over and made her sit on his lap. It was Taeseok’s favorite position. The comfort of being snugly embraced made him inexplicably happy.
“If I had helped, it would have been over sooner.”
“No. I invited you. I want to do it.”
Although Taeseok was more skilled in cooking and kitchen work if you really compared, it didn’t matter. If she found joy in cooking for him, he would gladly wait for her pleasure.
Yeoreum knew that Taeseok was subtly hurt by the fact that she was not as skilled as him in cooking. She also wanted to show off her skills on such occasions.
Since what Taeseok wanted from Yeoreum wasn’t cooking, he didn’t understand why they had to go through all this trouble. However, if that’s what Yeoreum wanted, then that was the answer. So, he waited silently.
Thanks to that, he caught sight of the cheerful Choi Yeoreum running around for a good thirty minutes. It was a happy time.
Taeseok was used to doing everything alone, and not only was he used to it, but he was also quite good at it. So, unless it was a special case, he didn’t want to burden Yeoreum with the trouble of cooking.
It would be a shame even if he lived like a princess.
“It’s almost time for the broadcast. Choi Tokki.”
“I have to call my mom!”
Yeoreum mumbled while searching for her phone.
“I rarely call my mom first because I’m afraid she’ll feel burdened. She’s probably waiting.”
Yeoreum said she expected her mom and dad to be more nervous than her about the first broadcast, sitting in front of the TV and drinking water.
“I’ll call my mom and come back.”
Yeoreum, who found her phone, lightly kissed Taeseok’s cheek and went into the room.
Even with that light touch, Taeseok was worn out.
Upon hearing the word ‘mom,’ the image of Kim Jeong-im, who would have lived a busy day today as well, came to mind. With one hand holding the phone, Taeseok hesitated for a moment before pressing the call button.
[Oh, my. A call from my son first. You’ll live a long life.]“Let’s greet each other normally. Mom.”
[“Is it not already unusual for a call to come from your son?”]
Taeseok chuckled slightly.
“The drama will be broadcast soon, Mom. It’s the first episode.”
The voice of Kim Jeong-im on the phone hushed. It seemed like the first time she had contacted him because of the first episode, and she was probably touched. Taeseok felt awkward.
[…Who did you learn this pretty attitude of conveying everyday life from?]“Yeoreum.”
[Oh my. Raised a fool in the world.]“Yeoreum said she would call her mom, so I thought of my mom too.”
[Right. How will you repay this gratitude to that young lady?]“Don’t say that. Usually, a mother-in-law doesn’t do anything and just helps, right?”
When Taeseok drew the line, Kim Jeong-im laughed.
[A mother-in-law, I haven’t even allowed it, and you’re joking about marriage?]She joked with her son, whom she was talking to for the first time in a while, without thinking of opposing.
“I’ve already half allowed it. Mom likes Yeoreum.”
Taeseok said it as if it were the most natural thing. He already knew that Kim Jeong-im had been very happy for a long time because of the bouquet of flowers he sent to Yeoreum.
[Right. I actually like her. I sometimes want to see her.]“Don’t say you want to see her. Mom. Usually, mothers-in-law don’t see each other often…”
Anyway, thanks to her son, who was an expert at destroying emotions, Kim Jeong-im eventually raised her voice.
[Okay! I got it. You’re good.]Taeseok firmly hugged Yeoreum with one arm. Yeoreum rested her face on Taeseok’s shoulder. In anticipation that couldn’t be hidden, their hearts thumped.
“Oppa, I feel like my heart is going to explode.”
“Me too. Because I want to kiss. Can’t I, really? Just a short one.”
There were only three ads left.
“Absolutely not. Oppa, don’t you know me.”
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.
