The responses came simultaneously, but they meant completely different things.
“Ha Joon, what do you mean by that?”
“Are you saying you’re not dating me, Su Ah?”
Ha Joon narrowed his eyes at Su Ah.
“We agreed to keep it a secret at work.”
“This isn’t work.”
“We’re in front of our colleagues.”
Watching Su Ah and Ha Joon bicker, Yuna’s eyes filled with certainty.
“Wow. Seriously? You guys are dating?”
So Ha Joon was the boyfriend she said she had?
Shaking her head as if she couldn’t believe it, Yuna made tiny horizontal nods.
A moment later, the four of them sat facing each other in the bookstore’s cafe.
“So, Su Ah is dating Ha Joon, right?”
Yuna was still throwing the same question, as if she couldn’t believe it.
“How many times are you going to ask that?”
Frustrated by the silence of the parties involved, Ji Hoon answered with an irritated voice.
“Wasn’t Ha Joon into men?”
“……!”
The pupils of the three, except Yuna, shook wildly at the sudden bombshell.
“Hey! What the hell are you talking about?”
Ji Hoon fired back in a sharp tone.
“No, I just thought Ha Joon might be into men since he didn’t show any interest in women.”
It was understandable, given the women who had shown interest in Ha Joon were anything but ordinary.
They were remarkable women who had nothing missing, from their upbringing to their figures.
They were women who any ordinary man would have fallen for in less than ten seconds, let alone ten minutes.
In light of Ha Joon’s attitude of sharply cutting off the blatant advances of such women, such misunderstanding was somewhat inevitable.
“By the way, what’s with you and Ji Hoon? Why were you so close that it could make me jealous? Even showing each other’s phones so freely?”
Suddenly reminded, Yuna narrowed her eyes and asked.
Jealous?
Ah. Su Ah could finally solve her curiosity at Yuna’s words.
Why she had so fiercely questioned the relationship between her and Team Leader Ji Hoon.
Why she had issued a warning not to get too close.
“I used to work parttime at Team Leader’s convenience store before I joined Hyun Sung. That’s why we were a bit close.”
Thinking it a good opportunity to clear the misunderstanding, Su Ah hurriedly explained.
“Oh. I see. I misunderstood for no reason. I’m sorry. It would have been better if you had told me sooner.”
Yuna apologized to Su Ah with a friendly smile and then fired a look at Ji Hoon.
“Why should I have to explain that to you in detail?”
“Why? I have the right to know that!”
“What right?”
“The right to investigate the women hanging around you.”
“So why do you have that right?”
“Because I like you.”
“……”
With Yuna’s words as the last, silence flowed between the four.
“Hey! Kim Yuna! Didn’t I tell you not to play such jokes? If you say something like that one more time, I’ll never see you again.”
Breaking the silence, Ji Hoon raised his voice in an awkward tone.
Su Ah looked at Yuna’s expression.
Surprisingly, it was an unfazed expression.
“Su Ah, let’s meet separately later. I’d like to learn how you won over the heart of a stone Buddha like Ha Joon.”
“Eh? No, there isn’t really a method to speak of……”
“Come on, don’t say that and tell me. I want to try winning Min Ji Hoon’s heart with that method too.”
She really was an amazing woman in some ways.
How could she just spill out everything she was thinking without hiding anything?
The thought that it might be interesting to meet and talk with her at least once crossed her mind.
“Alright. Then next time we match our schedules and meet once……”
“What next time? Don’t meet. Pretend you don’t know each other even at work.”
Ji Hoon quickly intercepted Su Ah’s words.
“Then let’s plan to meet next time, and for now, why don’t we go our separate ways and continue with our dates?”
It had been a while since Ji Hoon’s words had reached Yuna’s ears.
“Yes. That sounds good.”
Whether he liked the idea of parting now or not, Ha Joon, who had been sitting silently all this time, answered.
Excluding Ji Hoon, the three of them stood up simultaneously.
“What are you doing? Get up quickly too.”
Yuna roughly lifted Ji Hoon up, crossing her arms over his.
For a moment, a playful expression that Ji Hoon often wore was reflected on Ha Joon’s face.
“Min Ji Hoon. Have a good time.”
A snicker, accompanied by a final scoff.
“Hey! Min Ha Joon, don’t you start talking nonsense too!”
Leaving behind Ji Hoon, who was yelling loudly, Ha Joon and Su Ah quickly left the place.
After leaving the cafe, Su Ah looked up at Ha Joon.
“Did you know about their relationship, Ha Joon?”
“I knew Yuna liked Ji Hoon. She’s always showing it like that.”
“What about Team Leader then?”
“Ji Hoon always reacts the same way. The scene we just saw is what I always see.”
“So, does Team Leader dislike Team Leader Yuna?”
“I’m not sure. To say he dislikes her…… seeing how often they meet outside, it doesn’t seem like he dislikes her.”
“What kind of relationship do they really have?”
Su Ah narrowed her eyebrows, staring into the void.
“Stop worrying about them and pay a little more attention to me.”
Ha Joon said with a disgruntled expression.
“Don’t you know that even a caught fish can starve to death if it’s not fed?”
“A caught fish?”
“Yes, a poor fish that’s been caught and is longing for the bait called affection.”
Ha Joon pressed his lips together, creating a fishlike pout, and then flapped them around.
“Oh dear, I’ve been feeding it every day, why couldn’t it eat?”
“Lie. Didn’t you give it to another fish, perhaps?”
Another fish? Su Ah’s eyes widened.
“For example, Kim Min Joon, the team leader, or Min Ji Hoon.”
Ha Joon narrowed his eyes, casting a look of suspicion.
Ah……
How could this man be so adorable even when he was jealous?
My cute little goldfish.
“Eh? That’s impossible? My fish tank is so small that it can only accommodate one fish?”
“While you were not aware, two fishes moved into your fish tank.”
Ha Joon pouted his lips.
“Don’t you pity me, who lives with two strong fishes in a vast aquarium, while only the flatfish living in a wide aquarium is pitied?”
There goes that flatfish again. Really, if only it could speak.
Admitting defeat in verbal battle, Su Ah shook her head and grabbed Ha Joon’s cheeks.
“Watch carefully. This is how I feed.”
Smack. Su Ah’s lips touched Ha Joon’s and then pulled away.
“Remember. I have been feeding you like this clearly.”
With a swish, Su Ah’s lips curved up into a beautiful arc.
She was simply irresistible.
Only then did Ha Joon, feeling as if his lingering resentment had been resolved, follow Su Ah’s lead, laughing and moving on with his steps.

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.

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.
