“Haha. If I knew you would welcome me like this, I would have called even sooner.”
Bong-gi chuckled at the buzzing voice on the other end of the phone. Hyeyoon, who was always tense in front of him, with gestures and a soft voice, made him laugh even more. Just hearing the word “manager-nim,” she probably felt how unfair and frustrating it was.
How much she wanted to step forward.
So, without waiting for the following words, he continued straight ahead.
“Writer, because I complained that I’m hungry, won’t you feed me? Then I’ll keep coming? Ask for more. Besides, from now on, don’t come alone. Bring all your friends.”
[Dash]…….“You know what I mean, right?”
Whatever she wanted to do, it meant “Don’t do it.” Bong-gi waited for her answer in silence.
[Dash]Actually, I wrote a statement in my own way. I was thinking about posting it.
“Oh, when did you write such a thing again?”
[Dash]A little while ago. I was too… angry.Bong-gi couldn’t help but laugh again. Hearing her growling with a voice that seemed like she didn’t know how to get angry made him feel more of Hyeyoon’s emotions. However, there was only so much he could accept. Work had to be done with reason.
“But you really need to write a statement well. If it’s too humble, it looks like admitting everything, and if you lift your head a bit, you’ll get scolded for being arrogant. It’s deceiving the public.”
[Dash]……I see.“Yes. So, you have to write it technically. Anyway… send it to my email. I’ll refer to the content you wrote when needed.”
Tap-tap.
As Bong-gi sent his email address to Hyeyoon, a similar sound was heard from the other side. Tap-tap. Perhaps Hyeyoon was also sitting in front of her laptop. A rough finger stroking the touchpad was heading toward the shape of a letter.
Not only the movement of the finger but also the tone of voice was relaxed. There was enough leisure to easily calm down a woman engulfed in injustice and anger.
“And should I attach a manager for a while? Since neither I nor Jiho are in Seoul right now.”
“Oh… you must be uncomfortable with a manager….”
Bong-gi’s voice was slightly higher than before. The slow, thoughtful head turned slightly to the side. Then, his laptop was suddenly pulled to the adjacent seat.
Tap-tap. Soon, the laptop screen returned to Bong-gi.
[No. Persuade her.]Seeing the screen, Bong-gi’s head nodded neatly. A question without any frills was directed at Hyeyoon.
“Usually, how’s your daily schedule? I heard you operate a cafe. Do you commute?”
[Dash]No. I only go to the cafe once or twice a week. And it’s only for a short time.“That’s good. Do you write at home?”
[Dash]Yes. But I go to the bookstore every other day. I work around the cafes near the bookstore. If the weather is good, I also write at the neighborhood playground.
“… Playground?”
The finger that was about to tap on Hyeyoon’s email stops for a moment. Bong-gi unconsciously mulled over the word “playground.” It felt unfamiliar because it had been so long since he heard it. If she hadn’t mentioned it, it might have been a word he forgot for the rest of his life.
“……If no one is there?”
The finger that was about to download the attached file pauses again. Hyeyoon elongated the end of her sentence, and it felt like hearing a lullaby. It was a strange feeling. Perhaps it was because today was so hectic.
And instead of a floral fragrance, an embarrassing confession was conveyed.
[Dash]……I secretly tried riding a ride. I’m curious if it’s really fun.“Ah… I see…”
Ah, you’re curious about that. Why would you be curious about something like that?
Bong-gi opened a notepad on top of the attached file he downloaded. It was a notepad with instructions to persuade her a little while ago. Tap-tap. Quickly erasing the command, he typed a sentence that quickly appeared to the person next to him.
[Writer, you’re really two years older than me, right?]
Soon, a soft laughter flowed from the next seat. It was a laughter that couldn’t reach Seoul, leaving a regretful sound. Bong-gi, who enjoyed the laughter alone, turned his laptop back to me. And he read the writing sent by Hyeyoon with his eyes.
[Dash]Manager-nim, by the way, is Jiho okay…….?“Incredible….”
[Dash]Yes? Why?“Writer….”
Bong-gi’s hesitation, which had never been seen throughout the call. Hyeyoon was impatient with his action of cutting off my words. Since the situation was not good, she couldn’t wait for a long time.
I wonder what else has happened.
[Dash]Manager-nim? Why are you like that?“No, you wrote the article too… Too well. Should I just distribute it right away?”
[Dash]Oh, surprise.
Bong-gi didn’t notice Hyeyoon’s gesture. Because he focused only on the concentration that came into his eyes. More precisely, only in the writing that his eyes read.
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.
