“We agreed to meet for the wedding invitations today, at five o’clock!”
Si Hyun suddenly woke up, her sleep instantly evaporating. That’s right, the wedding invitation meeting!
She had promised to invite four college friends and distribute the wedding invitations over dinner, but she had completely forgotten about it.
The problem was that the wedding had already broken down.
Si Hyun didn’t know what to do. She had even created a todo list after the breakup and checked it, but for some reason, she felt like something was missing!
When she hastily looked at the clock, it was already five minutes past five.
“I could tell just by your voice. You took a nap, didn’t you?”
Ju Eun laughed loudly.
“Get it together and get a cab quickly, I’ll be waiting at a nearby cafe.”
Cold sweat covered her palm. They were already there waiting, so she couldn’t not go.
“Really sorry, just sit for a while. I’ll hurry up.”
After hanging up the phone, Si Hyun paced around. What should she do first?
She quickly washed her face, threw on some clothes, and decided to skip makeup. What’s the use of dressing up when she’s going to say she’s divorced?
At work, she tried not to look pitiful, but she didn’t want to do that in front of friends who know everything about each other.
‘How should I explain?’
Her head was filled with confusion and urgency. Just as she was about to run into the opening elevator, she bumped into someone who was rushing out and nearly fell over. It was none other than Tae Ha.
“Waited long? Let’s go.”
Despite rushing over, he managed to laugh, which cleared up her slightly upset mood.
“I’m really sorry, Tae Ha, but something urgent came up and I have to go somewhere quickly.”
“Where to?”
Si Hyun hesitated a bit before answering.
“That is… the wedding invitation meeting.”
“What?”
“I promised to meet with friends from college and distribute wedding invitations over dinner, but I forgot to cancel. They’re all waiting now.”
Tae Ha sighed and pressed the elevator button again.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you.”
“It’s okay, I can take a taxi.”
“Never mind, come quickly.”
Fortunately, the meeting place wasn’t far, but it was already halfpast five when they arrived. As soon as Tae Ha parked the car in front of the cafe, Si Hyun quickly got out.
“Thanks, Tae Ha. See you at home later!”
As soon as Si Hyun showed up at the cafe, her friends, starting with Ju Eun who had been waiting, were glad to see her.
“It’s really been a while, Kang Si Hyun!”
“Eh, you’ve been taking care of the bride, right? You didn’t put on makeup, but your skin is just radiant.”
“What were you doing that made you so late? Were you with your future husband?”
Towards her friends who were talking one after the other, Si Hyun sighed and said,
“I’m sorry, guys. I’m not getting married.”
Everyone was taken aback. They all looked at Si Hyun with ‘what did I just hear?’ expressions.
“That’s how it happened. It’s been about two weeks, and I was so busy cancelling reservations and cleaning up that I forgot to tell you. Sorry.”
“How on earth did it happen?”
Si Hyun hesitated for a moment. Even though her work colleagues were close, they wouldn’t dig deep, so she could briefly pass it off as a difference in personality, but that was impossible with her friends.
Nowadays, since everyone was busy living in society, they didn’t contact each other often, but during college, they were classmates who coordinated their classes to take not only majors but also liberal arts classes together.
They knew how much pocket money was left for the month and even the GPA of the last semester down to the decimal point.
In the end, Si Hyun confessed in one sentence,
“He cheated, that guy.”
After a long silence, Joo Eun finished the rest of her coffee and said,
“Guys, let’s get up. We need to drink.”
((()))
Thus, the gathering that was supposed to be at a family restaurant was quickly changed to a barbecue restaurant next door.
The pork belly and kimchi were sizzling on the grill, making a delicious sound. But everyone was not interested in the food, only the soju bottles were emptying one by one.
The talk itself was a story that called for drinks.
“In the world, were they doing that on the newlyweds’ bed?”
“That’s what I’m saying. They were attached to each other.”
Gossiping and taking a shot.
“What did he say after he was caught? Did he beg?”
“Beg? At first, he grabbed my phone and smashed it while shouting, ‘what is this?'”
Still, it’s ridiculous to think about it, another shot.
“So, the evidence? Is it completely gone?”
“I thought that might be the case, so I transferred it somewhere else right after I took it. As soon as he heard that, he finally knelt.”
Proudly taking a shot.
“That shitty guy!”
“Why didn’t you call us?”
“That’s right, we could have run over and ripped that woman’s head off!”
After pouring out insults and washing their mouths, another shot.
“It’s a good thing, seriously. How fortunate that you found out what a scumbag he was before the wedding!”
“Exactly. Your ancestors must have been looking out for you, Kang Si Hyun.”
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.
