“Meeting at nine years old, why was that my fault?”
Normally, Tae Ha had a deep, inscrutable look in his eyes, which was unreadable. But had alcohol washed away his usual facade? His gaze, akin to an abandoned puppy, was directed at Si Hyun.
Resentful words spilled out from his trembling lips.
“You’re the one who came to me.”
Every word felt like he was vomiting blood, and Si Hyun’s eyes began to burn. To hide her urge to cry, Si Hyun harshly pushed Tae Ha away and rose to her feet.
“So are you saying that I should’ve ignored the starving kid?”
The repulsed man slowly got up.
“I should’ve just ignored it. Just like everyone else, I should’ve glanced once and moved on.”
He aggressively cornered Si Hyun.
“Why did you care? Who are you to care?”
Are you saying that I was wrong now? Si Hyun was also upset. I raised you with such affection, how could you say something like that. How could you!
Just as she was about to shout, Tae Ha mumbled.
“If I had ignored it back then, I wouldn’t be abandoned like this now.”
His brown eyes, which she had found attractive from the moment she first saw him, were filled with tears. Collapsing as if crumbling, Tae Ha burst into silent tears.
“Randomly picked up, why are you ignoring me now. It’s too cruel……!”
Si Hyun fled the house as if escaping. Leaning against the front door, she closed her eyes, and something hot flowed down her cheek.
A violent sobbing, as if a huge beast was roaring, erupted from within. It was a sorrowful cry that had been suppressed and suppressed until it finally broke out.
He was crying.
The child I raised.
Because of me.
Tears streamed endlessly. No matter how wide she opened her eyes, she couldn’t see the way forward, only feeling a heartwrenching pain.
((()))
The next morning, when they met at the company, Tae Ha was back to his usual tidy appearance and calm gaze.
His greeting towards Si Hyun was also the usual Tae Ha.
“Good morning.”
As if last night’s event had taken place in a dream.
But Si Hyun remembered everything. She couldn’t forget even if she tried. The words he vomited out the previous night, his sorrowful sobbing.
Feeling that thinking deeper might not be a good idea, Si Hyun frantically engaged herself with other tasks. Fortunately, there were piles of other work apart from her office work. Wedding invitations, dresses, honeymoon home, and such things.
Si Hyun became extremely busy without a moment to spare.
First, she met with a wedding planner and made reservations for a studio, a dress, makeup, and the likes.
Regardless of where she took the photos or which shop and stylist did her makeup, Si Hyun didn’t care much. So she chose from the places recommended by the planner, roughly matching her budget.
“You look so beautiful, Si Hyun!”
Every time she came out after changing into a wedding dress, Woo Jin’s mouth hung open to his ears, but to Si Hyun, they all looked the same.
So, she just tried on three dresses and chose the first one she put on. When she left the shop, she couldn’t remember what dress it was.
For the wedding invitations, she went to the top company that appeared when she searched the internet and chose from there. The message was just the basic one, and she chose the most popular design, so it took less than thirty minutes to order from the design.
She also secured a lease for the apartment they would move into after marriage. Within the budget, she visited several apartments as close as possible to both their workplaces and decided on one.
“Don’t we need to redo the wallpaper and floor because it’s a newlywed house?”
“It’s clean enough. I don’t think we need to.”
“Indeed, our Si Hyun is thrifty.”
Woo Jin liked that, but in reality, Si Hyun just didn’t care.
She had no interest in anything to the point where it was unbelievable that she was a bride preparing for a wedding. She just wanted to make decisions as quickly as possible without caring about anything.
With that mindset, everything was progressing rapidly.
Remembering how many years it took to greet Woo Jin’s parents, Si Hyun was suddenly realizing.
Things that were so difficult could progress so quickly depending on one’s mindset. It was right that Woo Jin had been postponing the wedding all this time.
On the other hand, every day was a tightrope for the OneApp team. Not only Si Hyun, the UX planner, but also the UI designers and developers took turns getting slammed daily.
“Exactly how have you set the persona of the people using our service? Even though I keep telling you to think based on data, you just keep making assumptions based on what comes to mind, and that’s why our direction is constantly a mess!”
“Is this even working at a minimum viable level? If you throw something that is not even MVP level and say, ‘I’ve done my part’, and cross your arms, what are we supposed to do?”
The department head was, in a word, at the peak of sensitivity. He reprimanded without mercy, even shedding tears if things didn’t go his way.
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.
