“If I’m mistaken, hit me after it’s over.”
Wondering what he meant, Tae Ha suddenly wrapped his arms around Si Hyun’s waist.
“……!”
As his heart sank, something warm pressed against her lips.
Si Hyun barely managed to wrap her arms around Tae Ha’s neck, her eyes half-closed.
Unleashed desires she hadn’t even known existed surged forth. It felt like her entire body was melting. She wished he would hold her tighter. She wished he would kiss her deeper.
However, no matter how long she waited, Tae Ha’s lips didn’t delve any deeper but lingered on her lips.
Feeling suffocated, Si Hyun mustered up the courage and hugged Tae Ha’s waist tightly, but she was surprised by the unexpectedly soft sensation.
Why is his body like this?
Curious, she gently pressed against his lower back. Instead of firm muscles, she felt a soft, cotton-like texture, and her fingertips sank in.
“What is this?”
Si Hyun was startled, her eyes snapped open. Tae Ha was nowhere to be found; she was embracing nothing but the blanket.
The moment she realized it was a dream, an overwhelming sense of embarrassment washed over her.
“This is crazy, Kang Si Hyun…”
Si Hyun turned the blanket inside out.
While Si Hyun was struggling with her absurd dream and not knowing what to do, Tae Ha in the neighboring house was also having trouble falling asleep.
The first time Tae Ha had a thought, perhaps, was in the park.
[Even now, you are my everything.]As he hesitantly confessed his feelings, Si Hyun closed her eyes instead of replying. Naturally, she moved her lips toward his, but Tae Ha was taken aback and stopped himself.
I must not make another mistake!
The last time he kissed her without permission, Si Hyun didn’t even look at his face properly for a whole day. During that day, Tae Ha was half-mad with regret and self-blame.
Why did I do something like that? What kind of guy am I!
Miraculously, Si Hyun did confess that she liked him afterward, but that didn’t mean he could act recklessly.
When he kissed her hand in the elevator and saw Si Hyun startle and pull her hand away, Tae Ha realized it all too clearly. Ah, I’ve got a long way to go.
He wasn’t hurt by that. Tae Ha didn’t expect much from Si Hyun to begin with, and the fact that she had started noticing him was like a dream come true.
This time, he was determined not to make any mistakes. After waiting for so long and finally obtaining a piece of her heart, he couldn’t afford even a minor slip-up.
Fortunately, she didn’t seem to mind holding hands, so he had resolved not to go any further than that.
He had made that promise countless times, but he almost foolishly got swept up in the moment and nearly kissed her, only realizing afterward how rash that would have been.
‘Pull yourself together, Yoon Tae Ha.’
With that resolve, Tae Ha safely finished his first date with Si Hyun and returned home with her.
[Today was enjoyable.]However, for some reason, even after saying their goodbyes, Si Hyun seemed reluctant to let him go. She hinted at having coffee or eating some fruit before he left.
Feeling the reluctance to part, I was honestly delighted. The desire to be together was a thousand times stronger on this side.
But in truth, things hadn’t been going so well for Tae Ha for a while. To put it simply, his patience had reached its limit.
He had always liked her, but now that they were face to face, it felt like their emotions were exploding. He was on the verge of dying from holding back the desire to kiss her every second without lying.
In a surreal turn of events, Si Hyun complained of a sore foot, so I carried her, and while it was a happy moment, it was also painful in a way. Her soft and elastic body clung to my back, constantly occupying my thoughts, making even breathing difficult as we walked.
And perhaps, what a delightful fragrance she emitted!
Suppressing the urge to kiss her throughout our time together, by the time we arrived home, I was practically a bundle of nerves. But to be invited into her house on this night?
With the prospect of being alone together in a room, drinking only coffee, eating only fruit, I couldn’t bear it, so I declined and made my way home.
Even after parting ways, the uneasy feeling didn’t subside. Si Hyun dominated my thoughts entirely.
Why did she suddenly close her eyes in the park earlier?
Could it be that she genuinely wanted to kiss me?
Before we said goodbye, it felt like she kept glancing at my lips.
Could it be that when she invited me for coffee, it held some kind of meaning?
Perhaps she, too, wanted something with me…
“Have a sip of the chamomile tea.”
Constantly finding his thoughts drifting in that direction, Tae Ha scolded himself. It was as though nothing else was visible to him, with thoughts of wanting to hold her and kiss her occupying his mind so completely that every action seemed to reflect that desire.
Even after seeing how disgusted he felt about barely kissing her hand, he couldn’t help but interpret everything in the most favorable way possible. It was shameless, to say the least.
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.
