“You don’t need to look good in front of books.”
Ji An sat on the sofa and flipped the cover of the book.
In the meantime, Dan Woo, who had stepped on the stairs, came back and squatted down across the table. Resting his arm on his knee, he opened his mouth.
“So, you don’t need to show your true self to books?”
Ji An, thinking she had described the book too sorrowfully, added more words.
“I think someone will read this book even after I leave here. It would be nice if they could find a good phrase and feel happy, like me.”
“It could be the other way around.”
“If they read the same thing, that’s not bad either.”
“You’re kind. Our duck, your thoughts are upright.”
It sounded like she was saying she would leave the books she had diligently collected. Dan Woo, who was nodding his head slightly and stepping on the stairs, called Ji An again.
“Kim Ji An. If you’re going to say such pretty words, lock the door well and sleep.”
Dan Woo bent his waist and folded his arms on the stair railing, adding more words.
“I’m originally not the type to easily give my heart to people. But that doesn’t work with you. Especially not for nice people. I’m telling you honestly because if I start liking you more here, I might get greedy for other things… Be careful.”
Ji An looked up at Dan Woo and shook her phone violently.
“I’m saying this because I like you too. If you go any further, I’ll start recording.”
Dan Woo raised his eyebrows in surprise, then nodded his head in acknowledgement, and lightly lifted the corners of his mouth into a small smile.
Her defensive skills are not to be underestimated. She could really be made the duck commander.
“Sleep early. I’ll go up.”
Ji An, who had been pricking her ears, got up when the sound of stepping on the stairs became less frequent. She tiptoed into her room and clicked the lock of the door.
Pressing her pounding heart gently, she muttered to herself.
“I don’t know if you’re bad, but you’re harmful to my heart.”
At the end of the stairs, sitting quietly and listening, the corners of Dan Woo’s mouth curved up long.
“She was acting tough, seems like she was scared after all.”
The moment she stepped into her bedroom, the reason she had been clinging to so fiercely was abruptly cut off. His words about liking her more and being greedy were sincere.
Rrrrr. Rrrrr.
Dan Woo, with his cell phone pressed to his ear, inhaled instead of answering.
Tae Yoon asked with a serious expression.
What are you feeling? It’s upsetting.
“I’m just breathing.”
Weren’t you going to go to the media art tomorrow?
It was a place he had decided to go with Tae Yoon as he had a day to spare. However, recalling Ji An’s words about taking a day off, Dan Woo gave a short answer.
“Cancel it.”
Tae Yoon asked anxiously at the abrupt reply without explanation.
Why? Is it because of that strange dream? The date is still far off.
“No.”
It’s not?
By this time, Dan Woo would usually be suffering terribly from his memory disease.
He had spent a day every year tormented by trauma and having bad dreams.
The revolting persuasion and the creepiness of lying on a cold operating table hadn’t faded from his memory.
Despite being handled by the best medical team, a scar that didn’t consider the donor’s situation was left on his beastlike sturdy abdomen. As if to never forget and remember that day.
Dan Woo’s eyes shone in various colors as he traced along the surgery scar with his index finger.
He should have become numb.
Suppressing the painful memory, Dan Woo said,
“The duck I’m living with plans to rest.”
You mean you’ll go with Miss Ji An?
Tae Yoon took a breath in silence.
In Dan Woo’s human relationships, there only existed people who were helpful to him and those who weren’t.
He had dug into psychology and profiling obsessively until at some point he started turning anyone he needed into his side like a ghost.
It was also Tae Yoon’s role to bring him back to reality when he was shaking or hesitating.
Tae Yoon asked Dan Woo straightforwardly.
Boss, how about regaining your cold intellect and sharp judgment? She’s not someone who can help with our work, right?
Dan Woo was well aware that his reality was a situation where he couldn’t let anyone into his heart.
Yet, he couldn’t suppress his hope that it would be okay at least once, even though he knew this.
‘Relax and go around by yourself.’
Recalling Ji An’s words, Dan Woo replied.
“I just want to be with her for a day. Don’t worry. I’m a fortresslike athlete. She’s going to leave soon. … This time, you watch out a little.”
Is that so?
“I’ll control my feelings well. And it seems like Mr. Nam Sang Cheol is hanging around near his house. Check it again.”
Really? I did receive a call. The agreed money was sufficient, too. … I’ll check.
After hanging up the phone, Dan Woo placed his cell phone down and laid on the bed.
Dan Woo couldn’t sleep the previous night. It was a night when he had a lot of thoughts about Ji An after talking with Tae Yoon.
Whenever he heard a sound from the first floor, his body moved involuntarily.
If I go down now, I can see her. What’s wrong with just looking for a moment? I’ll just look.
In fact, that mindset was a shallow excuse.
He was curious and wanted to see her, and wanting to see her meant he was giving his heart.
Knowing this, whether it was dawn or night, whenever he heard a sound, he went down to the first floor and saw Ji An. He enjoyed the time spent exchanging stories, making eye contact, and laughing together.
He also knew that every time she looked into his eyes, Ji An’s face would turn red.
Truthfully, he liked that the most.
His reason knew that he should stop, but his heart was holding on, insisting that it couldn’t.
When Dan Woo entered the bathroom and turned on the shower, cold water poured out.
With one hand on the wall and the other hand wiping his soaked face, he woke up from the icecold water.
“My heart won’t obey.”
When he left the bathroom, the smell of food wafted into his nose. It was the smell of a wellprepared breakfast.
Having descended one step down the stairs, Dan Woo hastily retreated his steps. He held onto the towel wrapped around his waist and muttered.
“This isn’t recording, it’s videoworthy. Pull yourself together, Woo Dan Woo.”
In the meantime, Ji An’s voice was heard from the first floor.
“Did you wake up? Come down. Let’s eat together. I can hear you mumbling alone.”
“……Yeah.”
“Come quickly. The soup won’t taste good when it’s cold.”
A moment later, Dan Woo entered the kitchen, showing one hand as he did.
He was wearing shorts, a shortsleeved shirt, and was barefoot. His outfit was always the same.
Looking at him, she remembered that he was in the same outfit last night in the yard. Even on the snowy day, he had worn the same clothes, only adding a hoodie.
Ji An threw out a question that was long overdue.
“Aren’t you cold?”
“Not really.”
“Really? Then there’s nothing I can do… …I made doenjang soup with spinach. Is it okay?”
“Yeah. I like it.”
Seeing the pink sausage adorned with an egg, Dan Woo gave a big grin.
Ji An placed a sausage on her rice and put another one in her mouth, her lips curving in satisfaction.
He was happier eating breakfast across from Ji An than he was looking at the meal prepared for one on the dining table.
Despite thinking that she had been busy since the morning, looking at the side dishes on the table made him smile.

Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
