Summer finally thought it had come. It was the perfect timing to use the rehearsed lines she had been practicing since yesterday. Jihyuk, too, would probably ask because things seemed off.
“He’s a close acquaintance. Minwoo senior and I are really close. So, somehow, the three of us became friends. We had a brief fight, which is why we showed a bad side at the filming site.”
Summer smoothly threw out her rehearsed lines like reading a book and subtly glanced at Jihyuk. Acting ridiculous in front of an actor was embarrassing and tense.
Jihyuk didn’t relax his forehead.
Indeed, there’s no relief in his heart.
With Summer lying down, Jihyuk answered in a low voice.
“I see. Got it.”
“Um… Do you believe it?”
“Nuna said so. Well, then, I guess it’s true.”
Jihyuk lifted the corners of his mouth to produce a fake smile. Acting like he was laughing was a piece of cake. It was fortunate that Summer seemed relieved.
As they killed time talking about the details of the traffic accident, a dog, the weather, etc., 20 minutes quickly passed.
Jihyuk wanted to stay longer, but his shooting schedule was tight, so he had to leave. After repeatedly urging her to get enough rest, he left the hospital room. When the door closed with a thud, the laughter engraved on his face disappeared.
Summer is lying.
Why?
Jihyuk only heard about Summer’s accident after all the night shooting was over. He heard that Taeseok personally took care of her in the hospital. The moment he heard those words, Jihyuk couldn’t even sigh.
Even thinking about it himself was excessive, but he rushed to the hospital as soon as the morning broke, hoping that the words were just groundless rumors.
However, due to Summer’s lie, his anxiety only grew.
What kind of relationship do they have?
Getting on the van, he furrowed his forehead again. Even looking at it positively, they didn’t look friendly at all.
Whether they had become briefly torn friends or were sworn enemies, he couldn’t even distinguish that. In Jihyuk’s view, it was the latter. They definitely didn’t look like friends.
The role model turned into a rival in an instant. Jihyuk had regarded Taeseok as a competitor for a while and excessively wanted to win.
Even when he wasn’t aware of it himself, he always paid attention to Taeseok. When Taeseok filmed an outdoor commercial, he immediately competed with a rival brand’s commercial. When Taeseok’s noir film became a big hit, he hastily reviewed a noir film scenario.
During the time they were in the same agency, when the company and the media systematically promoted Taeseok as the ‘post-Seo Taeseok,’ it ironically became a poison. Jihyuk didn’t want to lose to Taeseok in anything.
‘Not friends, but originally an acquaintance. What on earth is it?’
He clenched his fist.
The last visitor was Taeseok.
As Taeseok entered the hospital room, Summer was preparing to be discharged. He swiftly approached and grabbed Summer’s wrist.
“What are you doing?”
With a sharp tone, he brought Summer back to bed. However, Summer pulled her arm away.
“I heard everything. You said I could be discharged yesterday. Why did you interfere?”
“How can you believe that kid’s words? Even when he was in school, his grades were terrible.”
Taeseok, on the contrary, growled and accepted it. Summer was annoyed.
“Excuse me, I’m Dr. Jeon Jinho, not that person.”
“We need to keep an eye on the traffic accident.”
Taeseok didn’t back down. However, Summer ignored his words and packed her belongings again. Watching Summer’s retreating figure, Taeseok breathed a long sigh.
“…Come on. If it has to be like that, I’ll take care of the luggage.”
“I’ll do it.”
“Come on. You can’t even reach up there.”
Taeseok forcibly sat Summer down on the bed and handed over the suitcase, stacking her luggage.
Now he was trying to yield with affection, but it wasn’t easy to compose his feelings. Summer thought he wouldn’t bother her to this extent.
Is it sincere? If it is, why on earth is it sincere?
Today, he would be so busy as to stay up all night to digest the missed shooting from yesterday, so why did he stop by here? One truth that Summer didn’t want to admit made her fearful.
“Let me ask one thing.”
Taeseok said as he put the last luggage into the bag.
“Why did Cheon Jihyuk come here?”
Remembering Jihyuk’s car that quickly disappeared from the parking lot earlier, Taeseok spoke.
“….”
“That guy has nothing to do? No shooting? Keep your distance from him.”
In Summer’s view, Taeseok’s bustling around didn’t seem much different, but Taeseok said it with a nuance that he was special. That attitude piled up in one corner of her heart.
“He just came to inquire about your health.”
“So why the hell is he buzzing around since the morning?”
“Maybe he had time in the morning. Youngi also came in the morning.”
“Is Cheon Jihyuk the same as Yoo Youngi?”
Is this another dispute?
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…
