Watching Sooyoung come out after recording, Jihyun applauded.
“Congratulations!”
“Thank you.”
As Sooyoung bowed her head, Im Yeonghak PD also shook hands with her, sincerely congratulating her on successfully completing her first audiobook recording.
The travel essay was a relatively thin book. It took more than a month to record this, and Sooyoung felt overwhelmed about how to record the remaining essays and novels.
During this time, she had received pronunciation correction and vocal training. Her friends even said that their voices had improved.
Whether Woojin would voice the male protagonist in the novel was still undecided.
He hadn’t given a definite answer.
Since it was uncertain whether he would do it or not, the casting of the male voice actors was postponed one by one.
Sooyoung was annoyed. It might be an opportunity to see the faces of famous male voice actors, and she could hear their wonderful voices up close. What was Woojin going to do?
“Are you going to do it or not?”
Sooyoung asked directly, and Woojin responded with an indifferent face.
“What?”
“No, Ju Hyeon-woo, Ju Hyeon-woo.”
“Ju Hyeon-woo?”
“The male protagonist in the novel. I’m asking if you’re going to read it, do it.”
“Ah…”
Watching Woojin nonchalantly put a pork cutlet into his mouth, Sooyoung got frustrated and asked.
“I know exactly who the male voice actor for that voice is. When I asked the CEO, he said he might be able to cast him. Is Woojin intentionally wavering like this to prevent Ju Hyeon-woo from being cast? Huh?”
She expected him to deny it, but the man remained silent. Sooyoung stared at him with a puzzled expression.
However, Woojin, whether she said something or not, fumbled with something under the dining table and pulled out a small shopping bag.
“This. It’s from my sister-in-law, Kim Sooyoung.”
“Huh? What’s this?”
“I don’t know.”
Sooyoung took out a smaller case from the palm-sized shopping bag.
Inside the case was a necklace with a pendant featuring two overlapping hearts.
“Oh my! Oh my, oh my, oh my!”
Even with Sooyoung’s unrestrained exclamation of “oh my,” Woojin remained consistently indifferent.
“It’s too pretty! Really pretty! So, so pretty! Touch it!”
Sooyoung eagerly took out the necklace, but Woojin casually avoided her hand, saying, “It’s enough. Women’s necklaces are all the same.”
“This one is too pretty! Two hearts overlapping with small cubic zirconias inside. It’s probably not a diamond, right? But it sparkles so much… It’s really pretty.”
Woojin, seemingly unresponsive to Sooyoung’s enamored voice, subtly covered the upward curve of his mouth with his hand.
“Do it for me.”
At Sooyoung’s request, Woojin raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly, “Do what? You do it.”
“Is that so?”
Come to think of it, the necklace had a clasp at the back, making it challenging to aim even with clear eyes.
Nevertheless, in movies, men put necklaces on women’s necks… It was regrettable, but I decided to adapt to reality.
After putting on the necklace and taking out my phone’s camera to check my appearance, I looked like a noble lady from a romance novel, despite the hoodie being a bit mismatched.
“If Seol Woojin sees me like this, he’ll be pleasantly surprised. Too bad.”
Woojin responded languidly to Sooyoung’s playful remark.
“Ever heard of pearls on a pig’s neck?”
“What are you talking about? I look like a complete noble lady, don’t I?”
Woojin chuckled at Sooyoung’s persistent words.
Before handing it to Sooyoung, he touched and felt the necklace as if to the point of wearing it out. Imagining Sooyoung’s facial contours and matching it in his imagination, he lost sleep over it.
When he asked his sister-in-law for a Christmas gift that would suit Sooyoung, Yeonseo rejoiced as if she were buying herself a present, shaking with joy.
Although he secretly asked not to tell Seol Jihyun about it, it was unknown whether she complied with that request.
“Sister-in-law, can you tell me your phone number?”
Sooyoung, who had been examining the necklace with her phone camera for a while, spoke to Woojin.
“Why?”
“I have to thank her.”
“I already did.”
“But I want to do it in person.”
To be honest, Woojin wanted to ask if he had asked for it, or what it was about. If he asked, he wouldn’t say anything even if he died…
Why would the CEO’s wife give him such a necklace as a gift? Since she received a gift, she should give one to Woojin too, but he was at a loss as to what to do.
Despite being the child of a conglomerate, everything seemed expensive. What should I buy?
As Sooyoung fell silent, struggling with her thoughts, Woojin spoke up.
“Teach me your sister-in-law’s phone number.”
He wondered if she was upset because he didn’t teach her the number.
But if the two of them talked on the phone, he was anxious about what his sister-in-law might say.
“No, not that… I also want to give a gift.”
“To your sister-in-law?”
“To Seol Woojin.”
“Why?”
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.
