“The vice chairman will present the award today. You can sit here and come forward when your name is called to receive the certificate. After that, you can have your photo taken here in the middle.”
Min Joon explained the award ceremony to be held that day in a simple and clear manner.
It sounded like a simple matter, but as she listened to his explanation, her heart was pounding as if it was about to jump out at any moment.
“You can wait here.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
After thanking Min Joon, Su Ah approached the chair he had pointed out, took a seat, and settled in.
A moment later. With the sound of chatter, the employees who were participating in the event began to enter the auditorium.
“Who’s the winner?”
“I guess it’s that person sitting over there.”
“Amazing. First place in the competition.”
“I heard that the vice chairman is personally presenting the award today?”
“Really? I’m more envious of that than winning the competition. It’s a chance to see the vice chairman’s face up close.”
The female employees sat in their seats, murmuring amongst themselves.
She was too far away to hear exactly, but Su Ah felt as if they were talking about her and couldn’t even lift her head out of embarrassment, instead she fiddled with her hands incessantly.
Not much time passed before the awards ceremony began.
The host gave a brief introduction about the award and guided through the order of events, and the event proceeded according to formal protocol.
Finally, the moment for the award came.
“Today’s award will be presented by our vice chairman. Vice chairman.”
At the sound of the host’s voice, the auditorium was filled with cheers from the female employees in an instant.
‘Who the heck is this vice chairman that they like so much? Is he some sort of celebrity?’
Su Ah wanted to lift her head to see what was going on, but it was not easy to move her body frozen in tension.
“Now, we’ll proceed with the award. The winner of the marketing idea contest, Su Ah, please come up to the stage.”
Only at the sound of the host calling her name did Su Ah lift her head and take hesitant steps onto the stage.
‘Su Ah.’
Just hearing her name was enough to make his heart flutter. Ha Joon, who had been muttering her name to himself, lifted his head towards the award recipient and soon confirmed Su Ah’s face.
‘Su Ah? Why is Su Ah here……’
The smile that had been spreading across his lips disappeared in an instant, and Ha Joon seemed to freeze, losing all movement.
‘Su Ah is the winner of the competition.’
He couldn’t believe it and checked Su Ah’s face multiple times, but without a doubt, the woman in front of him was the Su Ah he knew.
Ha Joon wasn’t the only one surprised.
Su Ah too was stunned, having lost her wits at the realization that the vice chairman standing in front of her was the Ha Joon she knew.
‘Ha Joon is the vice chairman of Hyun Sung Group?’
For a moment, she felt as though something was blocking her throat, and she couldn’t breathe properly. Soon, she began to feel nauseous.
Just as their startled eyes were meeting, that’s when.
“Vice chairman?”
The voice of an employee calling Ha Joon broke the silence.
“Yes, yes?”
“You need to present the award.”
“Yes. Right. The award….”
Suddenly regaining his senses, Ha Joon extended the certificate with a hand that trembled as if in a spasm.
It was clear from the shaking certificate that Su Ah’s hand was also trembling violently.
While they held the certificate together, it felt as though time had stopped for the two of them, but the awards ceremony progressed rapidly without their awareness.
“Now we’ll have a photo session. The awardee will stand in the middle, and the vice chairman will stand next to her.”
Following the host’s guidance, Su Ah first stood in the center of the stage, and Ha Joon, who had approached unnoticed, took his place next to her.
“……!”
Because they were standing so close, the sleeves of Ha Joon and Su Ah touched, and the moment she became aware of his presence, Su Ah’s heart plummeted.
Along with the anticipation and excitement she had felt towards Ha Joon.
With the photo session marking the end of the awards ceremony, Min Joon, who had been waiting below the stage, came towards Su Ah as if he had been waiting for her.
“Miss Su Ah. Congratulations again.”
“Huh? Yes. Thank you.”
“You must have been tense all this time. Go home and rest today. You can start work from tomorrow.”
“Alright. Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Su Ah bowed to convey her thanks, then hurriedly fled from the awards hall.
“The vice chairman of the Hyun Sung Group……”
Feeling weak at the knees and unable to stand any longer, Su Ah hastily hailed a taxi.
A taxi quickly approached and stopped, and she opened the rear door.
Thud.
The wrist of Su Ah, who was holding the door, was grabbed.
“……Ha Joon.”
“Huff. Huff.”
Having run so hurriedly, Ha Joon gasped for breath while holding onto Su Ah’s wrist.
“Su Ah. I’ll explain everything. Please listen to me.”
“No. I don’t want to hear anything right now.”
“I didn’t mean to deceive you.”
“I need some time to think.”
Su Ah, without making eye contact even once, pulled her wrist from Ha Joon’s grip and quickly got into the taxi.
“Su Ah!”
He desperately called Su Ah’s name, but the taxi carrying Su Ah moved away without hesitation, leaving Ha Joon behind.
“Su Ah……”
Ha Joon, who hadn’t even thought about chasing after the taxi, staggered for a moment as he blankly stared at the place where the taxi had disappeared.
“Ha Joon!”
Ji Hoon, who had approached unnoticed, quickly caught Ha Joon.
“What on earth is going on?”
Ji Hoon, who had stopped by to congratulate the first award upon hearing from Hyun Sung, couldn’t hide his surprise either.
“Are you okay?”
He quickly checked Ha Joon’s condition.
Ha Joon, however, sat without moving, blinking his eyes as if his soul had left his body.
Damn it.
A memory he didn’t want to recall at the moment came to mind, sending a chill down Ji Hoon’s spine.
The day his father abandoned him and left 20 years ago.
The expression of 10yearold Ha Joon, looking at the place where his father had disappeared, was exactly the same as it was now.
“Ha Joon, let’s go home first.”
Ji Hoon helped Ha Joon into his car and quickly headed towards Ha Joon’s house.

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.
