Choi Hyeon stood up from his desk only after the darkness had fully descended. No one had given him any work, but he had been staying at the company, finding things to do until this hour.
He couldn’t endure it fully without work. He tried to console himself, saying that it had been a long time since the breakup, but he knew better.
It was because it was Seo Garam.
Choi Hyeon parked his car and climbed up to his home, sighing. Habitually, he thought of Seo Garam’s face.
It’s been over a week since she and I haven’t contacted each other. Choi Hyeon didn’t think Seo Garam would find it unbearable.
As always, she must be radiating her unique bright energy, laughing somewhere.
Click. She descended from the elevator, letting out a laugh mixed with self-mockery. But then, someone was standing in front of her house.
Though wearing a hat, it was easy to recognize who it was. The face she had just been thinking about. It was Seo Garam.
Choi Hyeon’s lips parted. Why did she come to find him? While tension made his heart race, he unconsciously bit his lip with his tongue.
“…Oppa?”
It was Seo Garam who spoke first. She looked at Choi Hyeon’s face, then suddenly lowered her head.
Choi Hyeon was surprised by the trembling of Seo Garam’s shoulders.
Could it be that she’s crying?
Why is she crying when she sees me?
Maintaining a certain distance, Choi Hyeon just stared at Seo Garam. He wasn’t in a position to comfort her now.
After wiping away her tears with the back of her hand, Seo Garam approached Choi Hyeon and said, her voice filled with tears, “I’m sorry. I came suddenly… But there’s something I really need to say.”
It was a different appearance from usual. Up close, she had no makeup on her face, wearing a black hat, a black T-shirt, and jeans.
A stark contrast to her usual glamorous appearance. Choi Hyeon looked at her with puzzled eyes.
What does she want to say to me, exactly?
“In fact, I… I was scared. Because all the men I’ve met so far have always used my feelings and easily abandoned me.”
“…”
“If I expressed myself easily, Oppa might get tired of me too. So, it’s not that I didn’t like Oppa.”
Among all the looks he had seen so far, Seo Garam looked the least confident and full of fear. Choi Hyeon felt a pang in his heart.
What am I saying? Why should Seo Garam shrink like this because of me?
“I really like you. I truly do. Even after thinking and contemplating a lot, I still like you. I’m sorry for only saying it now. I was too foolish…”
Seo Garam eventually burst into tears. Choi Hyeon clenched and unclenched his fist, hesitating.
Is this right?
But when they start again, won’t she feel frustrated with him as before?
We’re too different.
“You don’t have to wear short clothes for me. You don’t need all the attention. As long as Oppa is there… that’s enough for me.”
Choi Hyeon looked down at Seo Garam, who spoke as if asking him to trust her.
When he saw her face, swollen due to tears, even Choi Hyeon’s eyes became slightly red.
Her words, saying it’s enough as long as he’s there, left him helpless. No, actually, he wanted to embrace Seo Garam in his arms right away.
She’s the woman I fell for at first sight.
Even after deciding to part ways, I still love her so much…
Choi Hyeon felt strangely breathless, so he loosened his necktie, pulled it down, and unbuttoned the top button.
During the brief moment of contemplation, Choi Hyeon couldn’t take his eyes off Seo Garam.
The decision didn’t take long.
How could he reject Seo Garam, who came to him with a more genuine appearance than ever, asking him to love her?
Choi Hyeon looked into Seo Garam’s eyes and smiled.
“Really, with me?”
Seo Garam stopped crying and looked at Choi Hyeon. Her swollen eyes becoming larger were cute. Choi Hyeon took a step closer to Seo Garam and said,
“As you know, I’m a very frustrating guy… But you’re okay with that?”
Without hesitation, Seo Garam nodded. Choi Hyeon lifted the corners of his mouth and closed the distance between them.
“You have to take responsibility for those words tonight.”
Choi Hyeon overlapped his lips with Seo Garam’s. As he felt the scent that had been distant for a while, his body heated up in an instant.
His body temperature soared, and his heartbeat uncontrollably accelerated. Choi Hyeon hugged Seo Garam tighter, imprinting her presence more deeply.
It was too good. How could he have thought of parting ways when it was so good?
Choi Hyeon lifted Seo Garam and reached out to open the entrance door lock.
The sound of the door opening was heard, and soon the two disappeared inside. The hat and bag, dropped in haste, lay in the empty hallway until morning.
And those things remained there until morning.
The movie ‘Arrow’ team boarded a plane bound for Cannes, France. Yeowoon looked at Seol Jio with a nervous face that she couldn’t hide.
He spoke to her with warm eyes.
“I’ll be busy with the schedule since we wear masks. Get some good sleep now.”
“Yeah.”
Yeowoon nodded her head and closed her eyes.
Arriving in Cannes late at night, they headed straight to the hotel. The next day’s schedule was going to be hectic like a storm, so they needed to rest deeply for their condition.
On the much-anticipated next day, the two, dressed in fancy clothes, rushed through their schedule without a moment to catch their breath.
Since domestic media had followed them quite a bit, they had to do interviews and take pictures, and time flew by quickly.
Beside her, Seol Jio subtly took care of Yeowoon and said,
“We’ll be stepping on the red carpet soon. How do you feel?”
Yeowoon rolled her lips with a hint of tension and shrugged her shoulders.
“I’m a bit nervous. There are too many people here.”
“But you did well in interviews confidently, didn’t you? Just continue like that later.”
“Yeah.”
Yeowoon nodded and looked at him.
Does he know how much strength he gives just by his presence?
Yeowoon, busy herself and with no time to spare, was truly grateful to him for continually taking care of her.
Finally, five minutes before stepping on the red carpet.
Yeowoon gasped at the crowd outside the car window. The red carpet was already filled with people, fans gathered, and journalists from around the world, making it crowded.
“Whew… I’m so nervous.”
While Yeowoon was catching her breath, Seol Jio whispered affectionately beside her.
“네가 여기서 제일 예뻐. 그냥 평소처럼 웃으면 돼. 긴장되면 나 붙잡고. 여기선 팔짱 껴도 아무도 뭐라 안 하니까.”
“너 is the prettiest here. Just smile like usual. If you get nervous, grab onto me. You can even put your arm around me here, and no one will say anything.”
Yeowoon met his gaze. Thanks to his words, her pounding heart quieted down a bit.
A moment later, the car door opened, and the film festival staff escorted Director Byun and the two onto the red carpet.
As soon as Yeowoon got out of the car, she smiled at the fans calling her name and the journalists continuously flashing cameras towards her.
Seol Jio, who got out of the car first, reached out his hand to her.
Wearing a white shirt, a snug-fitting black suit, and a tied bowtie, he looked more handsome than ever. Smiling at Yeowoon, who saw herself reflected in his eyes, the dream-like moment was beginning.
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.
