Yoo-hyun smiled, brushing Arin’s hair behind her ear.
“Did you sleep well?”
“…Ah. Yeah.”
Arin detected an intensified warmth in Yoo-hyun’s eyes.
If it wasn’t a misconception, he had become more overt in looking at her since meeting Jaehyuk.
‘Did Oppa catch on?’
Whether it was due to nervousness, Arin, who had previously comfortably accepted Yoo-hyun’s touch, felt it awkward lately.
Wanting to escape this situation, she avoided Yoo-hyun’s gaze.
‘I can just pretend not to know like before. Why can’t I just take it as a joke?’
Then she took half a step back, removing his touch. Yoo-hyun’s expression stiffened as his hand, which had been brushing her hair, lost its way. He stared at her as if piercing through her face.
“Yeah. Maybe it’s because it’s the last day. Even if I open my eyes.”
“I see.”
“I’ll go wash up.”
“Sure. Then, should I make coffee?”
“Yeah.”
Arin went to the bathroom without looking at Yoo-hyun.
Yoo-hyun’s gaze fixed on the closed door. His tightly clenched fist trembled as if the blood vessels were about to burst.
Saturday.
The pop-up store ended successfully after Friday. Although Ha-yeon had suggested a meal on the last day, the Memorize team declined, saying they would celebrate on their own.
“Wow, isn’t this place really expensive, hyungnim?”
“Our thrifty Yoo-hyun hyung would never make a reservation at a place like this.”
Arin, Yoo-hyun, and his subordinates Cheol-yong and Soo-han, who were in charge of Yeonnam-dong, went to a hotel restaurant. As Cheol-yong and Soo-han roamed around the hotel restaurant talking, Yoo-hyun spoke.
“I spend where it’s necessary.”
Yoo-hyun naturally filled Arin’s empty glass in front of her. The eyes of the subordinates who were watching Yoo-hyun’s actions narrowed.
“That necessity isn’t ours. Our boss… hmm.”
Soo-han blocked Cheol-yong’s mouth.
“Haha.”
Soo-han laughed coolly. Yoo-hyun sent a warning gaze to Cheol-yong. With his mouth sealed, Cheol-yong nodded.
Knowing Yoo-hyun’s feelings already, Arin smiled awkwardly and took a sip of water.
“Boss, looking forward to it. You ordered the course, right?”
“…Ah, yes.”
Until the food arrived, an awkward atmosphere lingered. However, it lasted only briefly. As the pre-ordered dishes arrived one by one, the atmosphere gradually warmed up. At some point, the atmosphere of the four people became very friendly.
Eating delicious food in a pleasant place gave a happy feeling. Arin enjoyed the meal, letting go of tension and awkwardness.
“I’ll step out for a moment.”
Arin, with her pouch in hand, headed to the restroom.
Perhaps because it was the weekend, the hotel was bustling with people.
As she passed through the fountain in the center and was about to go to the opposite side,
“Wow, what’s with those people? Is a celebrity coming?”
“Why are there so many bodyguards if it’s not a celebrity?”
Arin heard the murmurs of people in her ear. Curious, she approached the place where people’s attention was focused.
The hotel had a huge chandelier hanging in the lobby, and the structure allowed a view of the lobby from the 2nd to the 5th floor.
People were holding onto the hotel railing, looking down at the first floor. Arin’s eyes focused on the people gathering in suits near the hotel entrance.
After a while, a man entered the hotel. As if waiting, the bodyguards who were standing by began to guard the man one after another.
“……. ”
The moment she identified the man, Arin’s heart sank. Even from a distance, she could recognize who he was.
‘Jaehyuk Oppa…’
Thinking that he wouldn’t notice her among the crowd on the 3rd floor, Arin turned around and leaned against the railing.
‘Why do we keep meeting like this?’
It was a habit.
Unconsciously prioritizing places that were not affiliated with VAN Group or LW Group subsidiaries.
This time, too, she had booked a hotel unrelated to anyone. It was out of the desire not to meet him, even if it was just passing by. However, Arin did not expect to see Jaehyuk twice in such a short time in a completely unrelated hotel.
Arin quickly moved away from the railing, fearing he might notice her. She tried to calm her rapidly beating heart and headed to the restroom.
‘Just… I should pretend not to know. That’s what I should do.’
Arin forced her trembling legs to move, distancing herself from Jaehyuk.
Until then, she hadn’t imagined it. Running into Jaehyuk uncomfortably…
“Yeah. Oppa is on the 1st floor. I’ll bring the car.”
After the meal, Arin descended alone to the lower-level parking lot.
It was crowded because it was the weekend. Fortunately, perhaps because parking on the lower level was inconvenient, there were only a few cars parked where Arin had parked, just like when she came in.
As soon as Arin got off the elevator, she heard the sound of a scuffle between a man and a woman.
‘Are they fighting?’
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.
