No matter how you looked at it, she seemed quite serious. What kind of fantasy was she living in?
“Excuse me. What’s your name?”
“It’s Hye-ri. Seo Hye-ri.”
“Yes, Miss Seo Hye-ri. I have never engaged in a strategic marriage or engagement with you. I don’t understand why you think that way…”
Suddenly, Seo Hye-ri’s expression changed. The happy and cheerful expression suddenly froze, and her lips twisted.
“Because of that woman?”
“Yes?”
“Because of that girl, Yeorun!”
Seol Jio stopped speaking. The abrupt change in temperature was bewildering.
Moreover, Seo Hye-ri’s face, mentioning Yeorun’s name, seemed hostile.
“Oppa, you are being deceived by that fox-like girl! How low-quality of a woman is she! I’ve been following her around and seen everything. She flirts with this guy, with that guy!”
“Huh. Stop.”
Seol Jio raised his hand to stop her.
There was no time to entertain such absurd stories. Right now, securing evidence and testimony for stalking was the most important.
Seol Jio looked at Seo Hye-ri and spoke the necessary words.
“Not only behind me, but you followed Yeorun too?”
“…”
“Following someone and secretly taking pictures is a crime.”
“Why? Oppa is my fiancé. My man is cheating with another woman. What did I do wrong?”
Seo Hye-ri clenched her fist and muttered.
“That woman won’t stay still. It’s all because of her.”
Seol Jio was genuinely bewildered by the madness reflected in Seo Hye-ri’s eyes.
“Miss Seo Hye-ri, please stop! Do you know that what you’re doing is called stalking?”
Then, Seo Hye-ri made an unfair expression.
“Oppa! Are you treating me like a stalker? We’re getting married! I moved to the apartment below you because I wanted to get closer to you. I even make breakfast for you every day!”
Seo Hye-ri tried to hold Seol Jio’s hand as if asking him to understand her feelings. He stepped back, avoiding her touch, and firmly said, “It’s all in your imagination, Miss Seo Hye-ri.”
“What…?”
Seo Hye-ri made a blank expression for a moment, then suddenly bit her lip.
“No. No, that’s not true! Why are you denying me? We’re getting married!”
“Ha…”
Seol Jio bit his inner lip tenderly.
The person in front of him was in a state where communication was impossible. Negotiation was originally impossible.
Though Jusuk Yeong suggested trying to talk and calm her down, it seemed like a complete failure.
What conversation could he have with someone who believed he was a fickle fiancé?
While Seol Jio was perplexed, Seo Hye-ri changed her expression again, looking up at him with gentle eyes.
“Oppa, don’t be like this. Come into our house, have a cup of tea, and let’s talk. I have a lot to say. It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other.”
A while? What nonsense.
Without a response, Seol Jio just stared at her. When Seo Hye-ri saw that he wasn’t answering, she looked at his reaction and tried to draw out another response.
“There are many pictures of that girl, Yeorun, too. I went to her house a lot. Because you kept going there.”
“What?”
“If you come in, I’ll show you other pictures. Besides the ones I sent to your agency, I have more. Aren’t you curious?”
The mention that she often went to Yeorun’s house was indeed shocking, but Seol Jio tried not to be swayed by her and deliberately turned his gaze away.
Then, he spoke only the necessary words.
“Sneaking around and taking pictures secretly is a crime. Are you admitting that you followed me and Yeorun and took pictures?”
Upon hearing this, Seo Hye-ri suddenly opened her large eyes fiercely.
“Oppa, why are you really doing this to me? I haven’t caused any scandals or revealed anything about you, despite thinking about you! If you come to me, I can forgive everything!”
At those words, Seol Jio smirked. Who forgives whom?
“Miss Seo Hye-ri, snap out of it.”
“What?”
“Wake up from your dream. You’re neither my fiancée nor anything. Just a stalker.”
Upon hearing this, Seo Hye-ri looked at herself with trembling eyes.
Seol Jio glanced coldly at Seo Hye-ri, then turned and headed to his own home.
Continuing the conversation with Seo Hye-ri seemed pointless.
From behind, Seo Hye-ri seemed to cry out and kick the door.
Seol Jio pretended not to hear and went upstairs to his home. Once inside, he closed the front door, leaned against it for a moment, and let out a deep sigh.
The stalker’s condition was more shocking than he had thought.
At that moment, Commentary’s voice flowed from the smartwatch on his wrist.
[Quite shocking.]“Oh. More than I imagined.”
[Let’s change the plan. Since talking to the stalker is impossible, it’s better to contact Executive Seo Hye-jeong. Considering the advertising contract, communication might work better there.]“Sure…”
Seol Jio promptly sent the file that Commentary had sent to Executive Seo Hye-jeong. It contained the conversation he had just had with Seo Hye-ri.
“Even if the younger sibling is in this state, the elder sister should know. Take some responsibility.”
Today was the last day of shooting for ‘Arrow.’ Yeorun arrived at the set with a somewhat bittersweet feeling.
It wasn’t her first movie, but this work felt like it would be more memorable than any she had participated in before.
As usual, when Yeorun arrived early and entered the set, she saw Min Ji-wook and the shooting team having a meeting.
Yeorun quietly slipped to the back and sat down.
Thinking about whether to read the script, she decided to give up and just looked at the set. Sets that the art director must have carefully designed.
From wallpaper to furniture, each precious item and prop caught Yeorun’s eye. The fact that this was the last shoot didn’t seem real, and she felt a little dazed.
“Last one… It’s unbelievable.”
Except for overseas location shooting, it had been a little over three months. Long or short, these times played in her mind.
What kind of movie would be born?
As Yeorun only knew the scenes she had appeared in, she secretly anticipated how all these scenes would come together to form a dense forest of images.
Then, someone sat down next to her. Turning her head, Yeorun saw Min Ji-wook.
“Director… Hello.”
It was still a bit awkward. In fact, after hearing the confession that day, they hadn’t had much conversation.
Min Ji-wook sat next to her and looked at the set, saying, “The day of shooting coming to an end.”
“…Thank you for your hard work, Director.”
“There’s more hardship to come.”
“What?”
“I have to edit. In a way, it’s more challenging than shooting.”
“Oh… You’ll be busy.”
Yeorun nodded.
“Still, it’s fine. Anyway, I’m the first person to see the movie. I’m looking forward to what kind of picture will come out, this time.”
Yeorun briefly contemplated his words about being the first to see the movie.
In a way, he was the first person to directly experience the movie from the moment of shooting. The first audience to see the raw, unprocessed state up close.
Thinking that way, it felt quite cool.
“Seol Jio, will he… do well?”
Yeorun was slightly surprised by Seol Jio’s name coming out of his mouth. After contemplating for a moment, looking at his somewhat lonely expression, she said, “Yes. And I really like him a lot.”
At his words, he just nodded his head, remaining silent for a moment. His eyes were directed towards the set, but there was nothing in them.
During the brief silence, when Yeorun started to feel awkward, he opened his mouth.
“If, for example…”
“…”
“If the seat next to you is empty, would I have a chance?”
Dark brown eyes met hers. Feeling his sincerity too much, Yeorun involuntarily parted her lips.
But I can’t have any feelings for him…
He looked at Yeorun, who couldn’t say anything, and smiled like a sigh.
“Then, let me ask for one more thing.”
A request…?
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.
