“The shooting schedule in Busan has changed a bit. I’ll be going down a week late.”

Ji Ho’s voice was heavy, contrasting with the lightness of his long strides as he walked into the set. It seemed like he had barely mustered the energy to say the words he didn’t want to say.

Throughout the morning shooting, Hye Yoon had seen Ji Ho, Bong Ki, and Min Woo gathered together here and there. Their expressions seemed unusually serious, so she didn’t ask what was going on.

“Later than me?”

“Yes. It was confirmed a while ago.”

Even while the three were having a conversation, Ji Ho had been watching Hye Yoon who was focused on the script inside the set. Since the start of the shooting, they had been together almost all day when they met, and on the days they didn’t see each other, it was only for two days at most.

Looking at Hye Yoon who was reading the script diligently, oblivious to everything, a wave of worry washed over him. He was confused about who exactly he was worried for, between the two of them.

“Movie promotion schedules overlap. They said they’d pull it forward as much as possible, but it’s still like this.”

“Uhhuh…”

Hye Yoon’s head moved heavily with the disappointment that had already taken root. She wanted to respond with the kind of simple answer that Ji Ho was always good at, like ‘I see.’ or ‘Is that so.’, but as expected, it was too much.

It would be right to be quite upset.

Her nodding head seemed to be malfunctioning. It moved slowly even after she had nodded for a long time and done it several times.

“You’re going to show you’re that upset?”

“Yes…”

His eyes, full of depth, delivered words of consolation mixed with teasing, but Ji Ho was the one who was actually comforted. When she puts her honesty forward like that, her emotional turmoil only grows larger. Especially when her gaze, which sees him more clearly when things are like this, is added to the mix.

Only now it became clear. The one who was worried about not seeing each other for a week was himself.

“I’m not going to act because Ji Ho will notice everything anyway.”

“Hehe. You’re so pretty, it’s killing me.”

The awkward gesture was abruptly cut off by Ji Ho’s short statement. Hye Yoon turned her head quickly, caught off guard by the rising emotion. How could he say such a thing so casually? It was a bit unfair that her heart started pounding, while he seemed so indifferent.

“……That’s not it.”

“Huh?”

She turned her head back towards him, confused by his words. His gentle eyes, curling slightly at the edges, looked very cool.

“I meant to say, it was also a hard thing for me to say.”

“……”

“I held back dozens of times before saying it.”

“Uh…”

A foolish exclamation slipped out due to Ji Ho, who seemed to see through her completely. The look in his eyes when he read Min Woo’s message not long ago, the emotions conveyed in those words. She wondered if he always looked at her that way.

Hye Yoon picked up a hand mirror nearby and stared at her own face. She studied her forehead intently, then her eyes, then all the way down to her chin. There was nothing else she could do but to check one by one, thinking one of them must be it.

“Mr. Ji Ho.”

“Hmm?”

She put down the mirror and covered her forehead with her hand. Upon hearing her small and adorable voice calling his name, he too, paid careful attention to her peculiar behavior.

“Would you like to try guessing the word I’m thinking of right now?”

Ji Ho laughed a bit loudly at her absurd proposition.

[Hey guys, I’ll take you to Busan. I’ve cleared up three days. (1:25 PM)]

The same message popped up on the phones of Hye Yoon and Min Joo as they were having their lunch. As Hye Yoon put down her chopsticks to reply, Min Joo shook her head and handed them back.

“Doesn’t this guy work? Is it okay for a boss to take days off like this?”

Min Joo, looking at Hye Yoon who was once again eating, picked up her own phone. Her remark fit well with her expression as she glanced over Woo Jun’s message. To this, Hye Yoon, who had just swallowed her food, retorted.

“No, even so, Woo Jun is really popular. The friends working at the cafe told me. The number of fitness members on the 6th floor has increased, so the number of cafe customers has also increased.”

A few days ago, Hye Yoon was full of pride as if bragging about her younger brother, despite wanting to kill him. Min Joo’s face still showed disagreement.

“Isn’t it because your coffee is rumored to be delicious? You only use really good beans because the boss isn’t interested in making money.”

“Keke, that’s right too. Because I want to drink it.”

“Anyway, since he’s offering to drive us a long distance, I should respond nicely.”

Min Joo sent a message with swift movements of her fingers that she couldn’t be seen. The expression wasn’t very pleasant, but it was fine since Woo Jun couldn’t see her face.

[Brother, thank you. You’re really cool. (1:35 PM)]

And Woo Jun immediately responded, presumably during his break.

[Yeah, just don’t fight over who gets me. I can’t stand seeing that. (1:36 PM)]

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.
