Taeseok received a report from the guard team leader every Friday. Team leader Kim Hyunsoo. A pragmatic person who conveys only essential words.
It was a moment of contemplation, thinking that there might be nothing more dangerous than being detained in the courtyard like Jihyun. He, who always reported by phone, asked today if he could come up to the house. Permission was granted.
“I’ve come because the story might be lengthy.”
He calmly narrated several situations.
“There are no current danger situations, but we are always staying vigilant. Since our vehicle was exposed in the early stages, we are paying more attention, especially because the situation seems to change every time. However, recently, there are a few troubling things.”
“…Troubling things?”
“There are suspicious individuals. A small compact car with a professional-grade camera, and the other one… We’re not sure, but it seems the vehicle changes every time. We are in the process of figuring it out.”
It was a discomforting story. So, perhaps that was the reason why the team leader had come up personally.
“Please continue.”
“Based on our speculation, the compact car seems to belong to paparazzi, but the second one is problematic. Whether it’s a team or an individual, or just an excessive misconception, we’re not sure. It will take a bit of time.”
“If it’s paparazzi, just leave the compact car alone.”
Taeseok said as if it were insignificant. There was no reason to stop it since he welcomed scandals. Rather than feeling joy, he couldn’t enjoy the pleasure of the second report.
“What actions are they taking?”
“They are not doing anything. Just loitering around. Like us.”
Loitering.
Without any reason.
It was ambiguous and unsettling. Team leader Kim Hyunsoo also had that kind of expression. Clearly feeling itchy somewhere, but not knowing exactly where, it was an uncomfortable feeling.
Perhaps sensing Taeseok’s discomfort, he added.
“Even if it’s a minor thing, I reported it as you instructed, but since there’s no movement, you can be relieved for now. We’ll quickly understand and take measures.”
Taeseok nodded.
“Yes. Thank you.”
On the way to see him off, Summer came in.
“Who’s this?”
“A movie official.”
Summer nodded. She didn’t seem particularly curious. Taeseok accepted Summer’s bag.
“How was your investigation?”
“It was difficult and fun. Today, I learned that detached pants were a remnant of the Japanese colonial era.”
Summer sat on the sofa with a tired expression. Her eyes blinked vigorously. She fearlessly jumped into a historical drama, but there seemed to be a lot to learn, more than she thought, making her look tired.
“Tomorrow, I’m going to the museum. I need to investigate currency and the subway. And related papers…”
Taeseok raised Summer’s two legs onto the sofa. He started massaging from the right foot.
The soft and firm pressure spread from the foot throughout the body. Summer’s face changed into various expressions, grimacing and relaxing repeatedly.
“Take it easy.”
“Yeah. But if, by any chance, I end up doing a historical drama next time… Jin Sihu really suits the visual… Ouch! Ouch, oppa!”
Jin Sihu again, from where. Taeseok twisted his toes. Of course, it was a slight pain that could be given within the range of massage. Names of men kept popping out of pretty lips. He needed to know how painful his jealousy was.
“Jin Sihu’s name is prohibited.”
When he recalled Jin Sihu, who had been looking at his woman in a lecherous way, anger boiled up again. He deliberately suppressed his anger and continued the massage gently.
Summer reached out to hit Taeseok because she wanted to but couldn’t reach him as he was too far. It was ridiculously beautiful in a situation where she could only glare.
“Don’t hurt me.”
Taeseok, who was working hard, stopped his hand abruptly. His heart sank. He felt sorry. Massage pain was also a form of suffering.
He bowed his head and pressed his lips to her toes. Apologizing, he tried to deepen the kiss, but Summer jumped up like a spring.
“What are you doing! I haven’t washed my feet! No way!”
Summer glared at Taeseok as if her eyes were about to fall out.
“Don’t do that. I don’t want to break up because of foot odor. Let’s eat as promised.”
“I’ve already done everything. Let’s eat.”
Taeseok smiled at her vivid reaction. He wanted to show his feelings. It wasn’t even foot odor, and even if it did, it was nothing.
“Did you think about it? What comes into our house.”
Summer pretended not to hear. Taeseok didn’t step back.
“It seems like you want to regret it. Can’t you stay overnight?”
“What are you talking about? I’ll eat and go home.”
Especially after sunset, she stubbornly stuck to her plans, knowing well that she always fulfilled her promises. Without asking further, Taeseok fed her. She shouldn’t pretend to be sick after eating.
After finishing everything, he poured coffee into a tumbler. Since Summer drank coffee like water for a long time, a tumbler was essential. Today’s coffee was much lighter than usual.
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.
