Yeo Woon was on the rooftop with Seol Ji Oh. Seated on a bench, Yeo Woon heaved a heavy sigh.
“I can’t understand anything.”
She had gone to Director Byun’s waiting room for a meeting, when out of the blue, Lee Jin Cheol, who had been kicked out, came rushing out, spreading rumors that it was all because of Go Hyun Ah.
For Yeo Woon, everything was beyond comprehension. However, Seol Ji Oh sitting in front of her looked serene.
Did Ji Oh know everything?
As Yeo Woon stared at Seol Ji Oh, he opened his mouth.
“Be careful with Go Hyun Ah. What you see is not all there is.”
“What am I supposed to be careful about? What was all that talk from Mr. Lee Jin Cheol earlier? Did you know?”
Seol Ji Oh paused for a moment to choose his words, then he slowly started explaining everything to Yeo Woon.
Yeo Woon had to be surprised without rest all the while she was listening.
It was surprising that Go Hyun Ah had met the shooting staff Lee Jin Cheol separately, but the fact that she intentionally spread bad rumors about her was truly shocking.
Why would Go Hyun Ah?
Did I do something wrong?
“It’s not your fault, Yeo Woon. There are quite a few people in the world who envy and torment others without reason. And Go Hyun Ah… she’s a woman with too much ambition.”
Despite Seol Ji Oh’s consolation, Yeo Woon remained speechless, only blinking. Then, her eyes caught her right hand, which was still bandaged.
Could this also… be on purpose?
“Ha…. It’s starting to get a bit scary. I really thought she was a kind person.”
It was Go Hyun Ah, who always smiled and spoke kindly to her. There was no villain like this.
What is lacking in a person who is always surrounded by people and only receives love, that she would scheme like this?
What could she possibly be jealous of me for?
Yeo Woon bit her lips hard, both angered and flabbergasted. Seeing this, Seol Ji Oh, who had been watching quietly, reached out and gently pried her bitten lip loose.
“Don’t torment your pretty lips. Do you want to go see the sea?”
“Huh?”
Yeo Woon raised her head. At the mention of the sea, her eyes involuntarily widened.
“Suddenly?”
“Yeah. To change your mood. You’re not feeling good right now.”
That was true.
Yeo Woon thought of the sea. The last time she had seen the sea was not long ago, when she was shooting a camping scene with Seol Ji Oh.
At that time, she had quietly looked at the sea, feeling as if they were the only ones left in the world.
Yeo Woon wondered if seeing the sea would relieve her pentup feelings, so she gave a small nod.
But would it fit into their schedules?
“Ji Oh, I don’t have a shoot tomorrow, but you do, don’t you?”
“Yeah. I do.”
“So how are we going?”
“We have to leave right now. Let’s go see it, the night sea.”
Seol Ji Oh flashed a handsome smile and took Yeo Woon’s hand, leading her.

After driving for a few hours, they arrived at the sea.
By the time they arrived, the sun had set, and it was pitch black all around. As Yeo Woon opened the car door and stepped out, a brisk wind immediately penetrated her clothes.
“Ah, it’s cold!”
Seol Ji Oh approached Yeo Woon, zipped her coat all the way up and wrapped a scarf around her neck.
“It’s cold, so let’s only walk a bit.”
With a hat and scarf bundled up around her, Yeo Woon, with only her eyes peeking out, took Seol Ji Oh’s hand and stepped onto the sandy beach.
Yeo Woon laughed lightly at the sensation of her feet sinking into the sand. When she looked up, she saw Seol Ji Oh, who like her, had only his eyes visible.
Seeing his eyes looking at her with a crescent moonlike curve, Yeo Woon felt better.
“There’s no one here. It’s really just us!”
Perhaps because it was winter, there was no one around. The only sound filling the surroundings was the swishing of the waves.
Holding onto Seol Ji Oh’s hand tightly, Yeo Woon looked out at the pitchblack sea where nothing was visible.
“It feels like a hole’s been punched in my heart, completely!”
“Are you feeling better?”
“Absolutely! I’m fine now. And because I’m with you… I feel like everything will be okay.”
“I’m glad.”
Truly, she was.
The warmth of Seol Ji Oh transmitted through his hand, his low laughter, all of this comforted her troubled mind.
Somehow, she felt like she could overcome anything as long as she was with him.
Feeling a little overwhelmed by this unfamiliar sensation, Yeo Woon looked up at Seol Ji Oh. Then, Seol Ji Oh turned his head to look at her. His eyes met hers, warm and tender.
“Why.”
“…Because I’m grateful.”
“For what.”
“For being by my side. For holding my hand, hugging me, telling me it wasn’t my fault. So, thank you, Ji Oh.”
Seol Ji Oh’s eyes widened momentarily, then curved into roundness.
“If you’re thankful, stay close to me, bunny.”
Seol Ji Oh reached out and pulled Yeo Woon into his embrace. In his sturdy hold that seemed unwilling to let go, Yeo Woon smiled.
If she could, she’d want to stay in his arms forever.

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.
