“I’m glad though. Being able to spend time with you, even if it’s just once.”
It was something she thought would never be possible.
She thought she would never have him look her in the eyes, call her name, and hold her in his arms in her lifetime.
“That’s enough. That’s more than enough.”
She, holding her breath, opened her mouth.
“Director.”
Jae Heon’s eyes flinched slightly.
Her red, cute lips moved cautiously, which was adorable and sensual at the same time.
How could he have felt nothing when he saw Ra Jin’s lips before?
Just looking at them made his whole body burn as if it was on fire.
The moment he lifted his gaze and met her eyes.
“I am……”
Jae Heon had a bad feeling.
For instance, words of refusal might come out of Ra Jin’s lovely lips.
There was no doubt they were immersed in a sticky atmosphere just moments ago. That was for certain.
But what on earth had she thought in such a short time that her look had changed?
The flame of desire that was the same color and temperature as mine had completely died down, and instead, there was some kind of determination.
And that determination was definitely not in his favor.
“Wait.”
Jae Heon raised his hand to stop her words.
“Hasty decisions always bring about bad results.”
“No, I have decided definitely……”
“It’s your chance to set conditions for me this time. I’m ready to accept anything. So think about it.”
At Jae Heon’s words, Ra Jin looked up at him with a strange look.
“Anything at all?”
“Yes, anything within my capability.”
“What do you think I would ask for, saying that?”
Their eyes tangled in a strange way.
His heart raced madly at her provocative look.
So fiercely that he thought it might really burst.
Why didn’t he realize earlier that Ra Jin was such a fascinating woman?
Jae Heon, who had tried to hold onto her in the thought that she might be able to cure his insomnia, was now interested in Ra Jin herself.
“You probably know this. I’m not a person who speaks with a forked tongue.”
True to his word, Jae Heon was a man who kept his word.
His devoted accomplishments and determination to achieve his goals were one of the reasons why Chairman Seo Sung Jae was proud of his grandson.
“So let me know when you’ve sorted out your thoughts. As positively as possible.”
“May I ask something too?”
“What is it?”
“I’m curious why you’re making such an offer to me.”
Jae Heon tilted his head slightly and lifted the corner of his mouth.
“The secretary knows too. We get along quite well.”
“Is that the only reason?”
“Does the secretary have another reason?”
Ra Jin, who was pricked, bit the inside of her tender lips.
Yes, I do. I have been in love with you for a long time.
But she couldn’t say this, so she chose to be silent.
Jae Heon, who took it as an affirmative answer, smiled.
“There aren’t many opportunities to take me as a confidant. I believe that the secretary is a person who does not miss opportunities. My discernment is excellent.”
“……”
“I hope you can be proof that my discernment is excellent.”
((()))((()))((()))
On the way home.
Ra Jin, who took the bus, looked out of the window.
Jae Heon’s proposal kept spinning in her head.
Could it be a dream?
Last night and today as well.
However, Jae Heon’s message reminded her that it wasn’t a dream.
‘I hope you can be proof that my discernment is excellent.’
“……sigh.”
She would have wanted to accept it right there, but the wall of reality was too high.
There was a way to refuse on the spot. But Ra Jin didn’t do that.
She couldn’t.
She couldn’t immediately refuse Jae Heon, the man she had been in love with for 7 years.
Ra Jin, who got off the bus, turned left and crossed the crosswalk.
Her house was about a 5minute walk from the bus stop.
‘I’ll tell him tomorrow. I’m going to refuse.’
The answer was already set in the end.
There won’t be a change in the answer by delaying.
“Ra Jin!”
Seeing Sook Young waiting for her, she realized the truth more painfully.
Ra Jin lived in a tworoom apartment on the top floor of a fourstory building, and Sook Young was standing at the entrance of the building.
Her steps towards the smiling motherinlaw were very heavy.
“My daughter, it’s been a long time.”
Sook Young lightly hugged Ra Jin. There was a scent of roses from her motherinlaw. It was the perfume she liked to wear.
It was so good to be hugged in her arms when she was a child.
But now her heart is heavy.
Because it means she has a favor to ask.
A request she cannot refuse.
“Have you been well in the meantime?”
“Uhhuh, well, if it weren’t for your father’s work……”
What was to come has come.
Ra Jin, who took a deep breath, went into the building with Sook Young first.
“Shall I make some tea?”
“No need. You must be tired from work. Go ahead and sit.”
She usually gave her time to make tea, but this time it seemed to be quite urgent.
She thought about pretending not to understand and delaying, but Ra Jin gave up.
Even so, the outcome wouldn’t change.
Ra Jin sat opposite to Sook Young.
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.
