New Year’s first morning. Hye-yoon moved her body quietly. When she opened her eyes, she wasn’t alone. Right next to her, a man’s face, bathed in the morning light, was peacefully asleep. Jiho seemed not to have woken him up, perhaps because he arrived much later.
Carefully lifting the blanket and trying to sit up.
“Did you sleep well?”
“Oh, you’re up?”
Jiho turned his head smoothly. Still sounding like the night rather than the morning, a rich male scent was felt. Perhaps it was more noticeable because of the bare upper body.
Swoosh [Dash]
Being embraced by him as his arms led the way to his broad chest was still a thrilling happiness. Like Hye-yoon, Jiho wasn’t any different. As she pulled the body still under the blanket, the overwhelming scent of Hye-yoon filled the house.
A languid smile spread across both faces.
“What time did you come yesterday?”
“It was a little past 2.”
“You came late… but if you came, you should have woken me up.”
Jiho responded with a snort. Caressing the back of his head gently with his palm, he recalled last night. It was only a few hours ago.
2 AM. Pressing the password and opening the front door, memories of the first time he visited Hye-yoon’s house vividly came to mind. All the words and emotions exchanged.
‘Wow… This is a bit…’
‘What? Why?’
‘Even if I close my eyes, I feel like I’d know whose house it is.’
It was vividly remembered. This time, it was the same impression.
Even in a house dominated by the scent of a woman, instincts somehow find a more delicate scent. Once again, he vividly remembered entering her bedroom.
Looking through the crack in the door, he showered and entered the room. When gently pushing the arm pillow, Hye-yoon leaned unconsciously toward his side. Jiho had looked at Hye-yoon, who entered his embrace, for quite a while.
Actually, thinking back now, it was confusing. Whether he saw or was intoxicated. Because the time was so enchanting. It was the perfect end to the year and the beginning of the new year.
Just gently stroking, Jiho, who only heard silence, heard Hye-yoon’s cheerful voice.
“That’s right! I have to greet you. Jiho, Happy New Year.”
“Yes, Hye-yoon, to you too.”
“Haha. Let’s be the closest again this year.”
Following his title, Hye-yoon laughed heartily. She lightly traced Jiho’s bare chest, which was vividly visible in front of her. He seemed to have improved significantly in a few days, and his clothes covered his figure much more than expected.
Jiho liked the subtle hand movements.
“Hye-yoon, how about we become even closer starting now?”
“Ugh, Jiho, you’re like this again. You shouldn’t starve on the first morning of the new year.”
Hye-yoon suddenly remembered Christmas Eve. It hadn’t been long, but the memories of that day were vivid, even intense. The memories, the excited breath, and the overwhelming sensations—all were clear.
Can’t be like this from the morning. Hye-yoon raised her head cautiously and got up. When she pushed Jiho’s firm chest with her palm, he simply smiled and let her go.
“You probably didn’t sleep much. Rest a bit more. I’ll wake you up when the rice cake soup is ready.”
Sitting on the bed with her dad’s legs, she rubbed her eyes. Jiho smiled as he watched the small hands moving to banish sleep. Then, finally, the eyes that barely endured the night met Jiho’s. Hye-yoon also smiled brightly along with Jiho.
“Hehe, why are you looking at me like that? Am I too ugly?”
“Because you’re too beautiful.”
“That’s ridiculous. I look like morning bread again.”
Even if she couldn’t believe it, looking at the round and rising sun that appeared above the clown’s makeup made her feel good.
“When you open the door, you’ll see the bathroom. You can shower there later.”
Hye-yoon stretched her legs outside the bed and disappeared gracefully, leaving instructions. Jiho engraved her departing figure in his heart before closing his eyes.
Puff With every movement, the air filled with the scent of Hye-yoon exploded, and Jiho just wanted to close his eyes. The blanket felt like her embrace, and sleep came easily.
After about another hour of sleep, he got up feeling refreshed. Rather than the lingering scent, he went out to find the woman who was still emitting a vivid fragrance.
He carefully searched every corner of the house with each step. It was his second visit, so it was the first time he explored the house properly.
Surprisingly, Hye-yoon’s house had no quaint decorations. The walls and floors were entirely white and clean, like bedding. Therefore, the spacious area looked even wider, and the interior was similar to his house. Neatness without flashy decorations.
However, the opposite atmosphere from his cold and quiet house was probably due to the owner. Arriving at the living room and looking at the landscape outside the window, he became more certain. Even the branches that had lost all their leaves didn’t seem desolate here.
It seemed more like preparing for a beginning rather than an end.
“Jiho, let’s eat!”
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.
