After several attempts of writing and erasing, she finally managed to send a reply.
[The weather is nice today.]She deliberately changed the subject with an irrelevant answer. Looking out the car window, she saw a sky that looked as if it could pour down rain at any moment.
Sure enough, Do Jun shot back a message.
[You’re changing the subject.]Hae Joo let out a long sigh from deep within.
She wondered why she always turned into a fool in such conversations.
Leaning back in her seat, Hae Joo closed her eyes.
In her role opposite Jun Hwi, she easily wove a sticky atmosphere as written in the script.
But in front of Do Jun, she felt only awkwardness.
“Hyun Sung, you have a girlfriend, right?”
“Yes.”
“How did it feel when you first started dating her?”
“It felt amazing.”
“Can you give an example?”
“How can you explain that with words? Wanting to touch, hold, and more… Anyway, it’s like that.”
“Uh-huh.”
“Why do you ask all of a sudden?”
“No reason. Thanks for sharing.”
Hae Joo accessed the internet on her phone and clicked on the search bar.
She typed ‘dating’ and began to slowly read the posts that popped up.
Do Jun reflected on the past month, wondering if he could have returned to Korea earlier.
He had completed a schedule no different from his previous business trips, meeting many entrepreneurs and stakeholders.
It felt like walking a tightrope every day.
Yet, he clung to his work desperately, wanting to return to Hae Joo as soon as possible.
The night he spent with her in bed before boarding the plane felt like torture to Do Jun.
“Should I get rid of the auxiliary generator?”
That night, Do Jun, particularly feeling the void, secretly hoped for a blackout.
Maybe at that moment, he would have moved to Hae Joo’s bed under the pretense of the blackout.
Fortunately, there were no lights in the house that night, and he could lie next to Hae Joo.
That day…
Do Jun agonized, mad with conflict, whether to embrace Hae Joo then and there.
But he refrained, thinking he should wait for her.
Is there an end to this waiting…
He already missed Hae Joo.
“I’m tired.”
After being diagnosed with dementia, President Park called Do Jun for an important matter.
When asked, he revealed something unbelievable.
Before Lee Jun died, he had filed a marriage registration with Hae Joo under Do Jun’s name.
He suggested whether it would be good for Do Jun to take in such a good girl and live together.
Do Jun had believed his relationship with Hae Joo was over. He hoped she would be free, never to see her again, doing whatever she wanted, wherever she was.
But Lee Jun had committed an outrageous act before leaving this world.
A marriage without dating, it didn’t make sense, and he denied it countless times.
‘Father, this will cause big trouble!’
‘What can we do now?’
‘Why are you only telling me this now?’
‘You like it, yet you make a fuss.’
‘This isn’t something to handle emotionally.’
‘You can handle it better.’
Do Jun’s first impression of Hae Joo was of beauty and extremity itself.
Watching her over time, he realized she was clumsy in emotional communication, often misunderstood, or taken advantage of.
Because of this, Hae Joo was always guarded and tense around people.
‘Hae Joo is different from ordinary people.’
‘Just be nice to her when she comes.’
Leaving President Park, who only spoke in riddles, behind, Do Jun plunged into business.
His innate sense about money and learning on the job while assisting President Park’s work proved helpful.
The problem was people. In the early stages of the business, with no solid foundation, he had to catch the eyes of the so-called big players.
He worked like a dog, nurturing his ambition. He poured everything into his business within the bounds of the law.
Yet, occasionally,
Here is the English translation of the passage you provided:
In an interview, Hae Joo had said that she felt a thrill every night.
But for Do Jun, every moment was thrilling, and it was no different now.
“Huff.”
After a simple dinner, Do Jun filled a glass with whiskey over ice.
As he was about to relax and look at the garden, Director Song called him.
“Yes.”
[Dash] Reporter Choi In Ho just posted an article.Do Jun searched for the article Director Song mentioned and read it.
It was a vague inquiry into the married life of Hae Joo and Do Jun.
The article itself wasn’t particularly sensational.
If one were to guess its intention, it seemed like a timid declaration of war.
[Dash] Do you want to sue Reporter Choi In Ho for kidnapping and stalking?“Leave it for now.”
[Dash] Wouldn’t it be better to nip this in the bud…“Better to keep him on a leash for the final moment.”
[Dash] Understood.Do Jun had Director Song find out the motel where Yura was staying.
He also told Choi Young Suk about the motel’s location and asked her to keep an eye on Yura.
Yura was currently being held at Choi Young Suk’s farm, working there. Given her shallow patience, there was a high chance she wouldn’t last long.
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.
