Tae-Seok finding Ye-Rum’s house was an act of great courage. Perhaps he thought he might not even see her and return, but assuming that was the worst-case scenario, he wanted to confirm how difficult it was for Ye-Rum to face him and go back inside.
If possible, he wanted to embrace her. He still couldn’t confess about secretly watching the video, but if the atmosphere allowed, he was determined not to miss the chance this time.
He felt half-crazy. He just missed her so much that it felt like he would die. It was to the point where he couldn’t breathe. Yes, in fact, he had come here to breathe. However, Ji-Hyeok was standing in front of the elevator.
The moment he saw the lad, a strange uneasiness swept over him.
“Why is Hyung here?”
“Why are you here again?”
Moreover, the lad preemptively asked the question he was going to ask. His tone still carried a peculiar reproach, as if he were still an outsider named Tae-Seok.
Tae-Seok, with no mental capacity for a response, bypassed Ji-Hyeok and went to Ye-Rum’s house without answering. He was about to press the doorbell when Ji-Hyeok grabbed Tae-Seok’s wrist.
“Don’t do it.”
“Aren’t you letting go of this?”
Ji-Hyeok said with a determined expression, “Noona, go. I’ll put him to sleep and be on my way.”
In a moment of anger, Tae-Seok pushed Ji-Hyeok away as if possessed by something and stood in front of the entrance again. However, Ji-Hyeok was not to be underestimated.
“Don’t wake her up. She cried a lot. I don’t know why, but she was crying.”
Tae-Seok’s gaze was filled with despair.
“Let go. There’s something I need to check.”
“Hyung, are you really crazy?”
The lid was opened.
Tae-Seok grabbed Ji-Hyeok by the neck with one hand and pressed him against the opposite wall. With a thud, Ji-Hyeok’s back hit the wall. He tried to push himself away using both hands, but it wasn’t easy to overcome Tae-Seok’s strength.
With his body entangled, the view looking down at Ji-Hyeok from above was uncomfortable. Ji-Hyeok wasn’t exactly short, but due to Tae-Seok’s superior proportions, he had to endure the gaze that pinned him down.
“Don’t come near Choi Ye-Rum. Ye-Rum is my woman. If you catch my eye one more time, I won’t let it slide.”
A coldness emanated from his empty, unexpressive pupils. Under the overwhelming attitude, Ji-Hyeok felt a bit bewildered, but to withstand, he brazenly continued speaking.
“Woman? But why did she call me after drinking?”
Tae-Seok’s eye, rapidly trembling, met Ji-Hyeok’s confident gaze.
“Because the man Choi Ye-Rum called after drinking is me, not you. It’s not Hyung.”
What, what did he say?
It felt as if his eardrums were about to burst, causing a sharp pain. Tae-Seok gritted his teeth and lowered his head.
“She called, so I came. Even though Noona didn’t call, I knew she was crying.”
Upon the short provocation, Tae-Seok shook violently. Not missing the chance, Ji-Hyeok seized the opportunity. Using all his strength, he pushed Tae-Seok away. Tae-Seok, who had been like a bull until now, was pushed back in a somewhat feeble manner.
Why.
Ye-Rum, what is this guy to you?
In his anxiety, the corners of his lips became unbearably dry.
“Hyung, stop this nonsense. Act appropriately.”
After thoroughly examining the defeated Tae-Seok, Ji-Hyeok smiled triumphantly and boarded the elevator, disappearing. Tae-Seok leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.
When he confirmed that the necklace was a couple item, he was definitely sure, but now he knew nothing.
He had never considered the assumption that it might be too late to turn back. Even during reflection, he had not anticipated failure. He thought that if he corrected everything and confessed again, she would naturally smile as she did before.
“Selfish bastard.”
He might have abandoned the feeling of love long ago. He could have already had several relationships over the two years, and at present, he might have harbored feelings for another man.
He should have considered such assumptions.
“Yes. Then. Let’s call it a mistake.”
There must have been a reason to dismiss the fiery kiss as a mistake.
It felt like sailing through a heavily fogged path. He was afraid of where Ye-Rum’s heart was heading.
For several days, Ye-Rum had not stepped outside. She spent time doing unnecessary major cleaning, organizing her wardrobe, and thinking about Tae-Seok whenever she could. According to Yeong, Tae-Seok had come to her house that day and left when Yeong arrived.
Why did he come? And why did he leave?
‘Of all days…’
It was the day he had met Ji-Hyeon-Jeong with all his might. He naturally wouldn’t know about Ji-Hyeon-Jeong-related matters, but he thought the timing was unbelievably inconvenient.
The man who was proactive to the point of being speechless after the traffic accident suddenly changed after the kiss.
Certainly, the pain piercing through his chest must be a wound. Although he had resolved not to be hurt by it again, determination melted away like cotton candy on a rainy day.
‘Making people confused.’
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.
