In Minju’s mind, the scene before her and the recent conversation with the female staff intertwined like gears.
“Hye Yoon said she took care of you when you were sick? She’s really grateful to you, and she promised to make time for you next time. She’s going to treat you to something delicious.”
“Oh, well, it’s nothing. I felt a bit sorry for showing up without notice.”
“…Without notice?”
“We didn’t know Ji Ho was taking care of you. We thought we were the only ones having a good time. We saw him up close for the first time, you know.”
Minju focused on her slightly swollen eyes. She tried to get a closer look at Hye Yoon, but all she could see was the back of a man deeply engulfed in her.
If she had raised her gaze just a little, she might have met a gaze that rivaled her own concentration.
Ji Ho, feeling Minju’s gaze resting around his chest, was silently looking at her.
Tap, tap. A smile as soft as the caressing hand that touched Hye Yoon was hanging on his lips.
“You must be busy after the shoot today, Writer-nim.”
“…Me? Why?”
Rustle. Hye Yoon, who had calmly settled her heart in his embrace, raised her head with a bright smile. Even though it was clear that he was talking to her, Ji Ho was looking elsewhere.
“Your expression matches your voice so well.”
With a contented heart, Hye Yoon also smiled faintly, but at that moment, Ji Ho’s emotions began to take the lead. The transition was very fast, as the childlike energy mixed with the voice that clearly stood out.
“Because our friend here is curious.”
“Oh my…”
With that one word, Hye Yoon’s whole body stiffened. Ji Ho was still looking at the same place with the same smile. After a moment, he nodded slightly. It was a gesture of exchanging glances with someone.
Hye Yoon could barely open her mouth without moving a single finger.
“…Is Minju behind us right now?”
“Yeah.”
Gulp. Even after swallowing dry saliva, the body remained stiff, and the small voice was as steady as a breath.
“S-So, is Minju… still looking at Mr. Ji Ho?”
“Hehe. Yeah.”
“……”
“No, now she’s only looking at the author’s back.”
Perhaps because of Minju’s intense gaze, Hye Yoon no longer felt Ji Ho’s hand stroking her back. While Hye Yoon remained frozen, Minju moved away with the female staff.
Only after confirming that they were moving further away did Ji Ho lower his chin. His face reflected in Hye Yoon’s transparent eyes, which were incredibly clear. It was also clear that those eyes were not looking at him.
Looking at the lost gaze, Ji Ho lowered his chin slightly.
“Author?”
“…….”
“……Jang Hye Yoon.”
“Yeah?”
Calling her name, her eyes slowly returned. But it seemed like she was still reluctant to set foot in reality, so Ji Ho tightened his grip on her.
Hye Yoon’s pupils dilated under the strong pressure she felt throughout her body. It was just his fingertips pulling her closer. She couldn’t even imagine the extent of the strength hidden behind his gentle smile.
Finally, after confirming that she was directing both her eyes and her heart at him, Ji Ho grinned.
“Don’t worry. I probably won’t ask too many questions.”
“……I doubt that.”
“Really.”
Ji Ho arched one eyebrow, recalling Minju’s face from a moment ago.
While worry sprinkled like drizzling rain in Hye Yoon’s eyes, Minju was the complete opposite. Her eyes were a raging storm of strong suspicion. Fortunately, the fierce storm that had been raging seemed to dissipate calmly, leaving behind a new emotion.
The landscape of suspicion gradually transforming into certainty. Even though it was somewhat distant and a bit blurry, it was quite evident that the other person wasn’t trying to conceal that emotion.
When there’s certainty, there’s no need for unnecessary questions.
“Yeah, at that level, I won’t ask many questions. Just a brief confirmation.”
The firmness of a man you want to trust in anything. Hye Yoon cast sparkling eyes toward him. And she thought he must have read Minju’s thoughts. He was as perceptive as they come, after all.
Swoosh.
The quiet winter wind brushed Hye Yoon’s forehead. And at a moment that seemed somewhat chilly, Ji Ho gently tapped the back of her head again.
“You still haven’t fully recovered from the cold, so don’t let your guard down.”
“…Yes.”
“And with your friend, just be yourself.”
“Uh… I won’t lie. I’ll be honest.”
As her voice crept in, he gently separated Hye Yoon from his chest. At that moment, his puzzled eyes blinked in her direction.
“Really?”
“…Yeah. Really.”
Even the thought of being honest made her stay weak like that, what a thing.
Ji Ho raised the corner of his mouth subtly. He thought it was better to be a little provocative than gloomy. His mischievous intent, flowing through his eyes, followed by a teasing tilt of his head, permeated his voice.
“How far are you going to be honest? Are you going to tell me about the day we watched the movie too?”
“Eep!”
Hye Yoon buried her face in Ji Ho’s chest in one go. At this moment, it felt less embarrassing to be cuddling than to face that exquisite face.
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.
