여름, who entered the house with a wary expression, was once again astounded by his attitude.
“Looks like there wasn’t much traffic. You’re early. I just made coffee.”
He maintained a shameless demeanor as if nothing had happened, not seeming like a normal person. She hadn’t slept a wink and had gone to work because of his impudent kiss, and yet how could he be so brazen.
“Give me the script.”
Casually, he took the script, sat on the sofa, and began to read calmly.
Is this okay? Does this make it as if it never happened?
Yeoreum noticed her bag, which she had left behind the day before, neatly placed on the sofa. Sitting next to it, she quietly observed him.
His forearm twitched as he turned just one page of the script. Even a small muscle twitch showed how diligently he exercised. It struck her anew that he was a man who never took life lightly.
‘So what. He has a terrible personality.’
She tried to think negatively, but then she noticed his eyes.
His deep gaze devoured the script. The movement of his eyes following the text was more serious than ever. The charm of an intellectual man was overflowing.
An intellectual man. Yes. His brain was as attractive as his face.
‘No wonder he was a medical student.’
His anecdotes from his days as a medical student at Seohan University were famous. His appearance in the library was said to shine, and female students lined up to watch.
A perfect man in visuals, academics, family background, and wealth. Is that why his personality is twisted?
Yeoreum concluded that. God is fair. It seemed like Seo Tae-seok had everything, but he was not given a good personality. That’s why he always chose to do wrong.
“What are you looking at?”
See. His humanity is so poor that even his words are ugly. Wait, did he just speak to me?
Startled, Yeoreum nodded to herself and then responded belatedly.
“Huh?”
“What are you nodding at all by yourself?”
“Oh. Just.”
“Just what.”
“…….”
It was when Yeoreum shut her mouth again.
“I saw you looking at my wrist, my face, and especially. My lips.”
“Lips! I didn’t look at your lips.”
Yeoreum, startled, replied with widened eyes. He was laughing.
“I didn’t look at your lips.”
She realized too late that she had been drawn in, but it was already too late.
“So you looked at everything else.”
“I was looking at the script.”
“You looked because I’m sexy.”
“It’s not like that.”
“Unlikely.”
His words, as if he knew her heart was racing uncontrollably, were relaxed as he closed the script and leaned in close, tilting his head as if to kiss her and smiling seductively.
“I’ve seen it. Writer Choi. The content is good. Let’s go with this.”
His voice erotically whispered in her ear.
Ah.
Doing nothing, but somehow feeling defeated.
“Good work today.”
Yeoreum entered the studio with an uneasy feeling.
Then Tae-seok, who had been pondering something, muttered a curse and made a phone call. He tried to wait patiently, but there was a limit. It seemed right to assume that K had forgotten the request by now.
It’s been several weeks since he said he’d contact soon.
[Oh, Tae-seok.]K answered the phone in a sullen voice.
“You forgot my request.”
[No!]K yelled into the phone.
[Not at all! I’m looking into it.]“Why haven’t you contacted me.”
[I’m still confirming things.]His voice, as if he hadn’t just been shouting, became sullen and started making excuses.
[I thought it was a simple matter, but there are a few complications. I’ll sort it out and let you know soon.]“How can I trust you more? It’s been almost 2 weeks.”
[Hey. I’m still the best in our country. Wait for me.] It’s absurd, but knowing that it’s true, Tae-seok swallowed his annoyance and nodded his head. Yes, he has been a white hacker since high school. Let’s trust him one more time.“Got it. Contact me.”
Pretending to be calm was becoming increasingly difficult. Tae-seok stood hesitantly in front of the door to Yeoreum’s room for a while before finally turning away.
Despite the ongoing dangerous commutes, nothing apparently happened on the surface.
Tae-seok often approached Yeoreum precariously but never crossed the line.
He merely enjoyed watching her confused expression from a safe distance. Yeoreum was upset feeling like she was always the victim of his pranks, but she didn’t argue back, fearing it would only worsen the situation.
Thus, they both ended up focusing only on the script.
Thanks to her perseverance, Yeoreum safely kept her massage chair and foreign car. Time passed, and the scriptwriting was nearing its end.
The day of the script reading arrived.
With today’s script reading, filming would start next week, and Yeoreum’s commutes would tentatively end. It was a very long month, an unbearable late summer, Yeoreum thought.
“Hello.”
“Director, hello.”
Yeoreum greeted everyone as she entered the conference room. She shook hands with the early-arriving staff and actors. The atmosphere was lively as they were filming a making-of video.
“Writer Choi, long time no see. You did a good job reviewing the script. It’s really good.”
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.
