“Yes.”
“Ah…….”
As someone who falls asleep as soon as her head hits the pillow, I couldn’t understand such a condition.
Is it because he can’t sleep that he’s so thin? But if he can’t sleep, his skin should look sallow, yet his skin is like porcelain. What an odd discrepancy.
More than anything, to be sitting here, drinking coffee with such an irritable man… it was indeed a great advancement.
Especially, sitting face-to-face like this, looking at his face seemed to purify my eyes.
Woojin, for his part, also found it absurd to be sitting with her like this. What was he thinking, holding up a woman who was about to leave work…
However, he was somewhat grateful that she talked to him without thinking him weird. Her deep voice was comforting and nice.
“Ah, thanks for the slippers.”
Suyeong belatedly thanked him. Woojin replied more brusquely on purpose.
“Seol Ji-hyun bought them. I don’t know about them.”
He knew very well; he had shown the size of her foot with his hands and asked for it.
He had ordered slippers of that size, and even asked for a type that wouldn’t slip off the heel.
He couldn’t see what pattern or color they were, but he was satisfied with the shape and feel he had touched. Even the band attached to the heel.
“Do they… fit well?”
He asked hesitantly, and Suyeong replied with a laugh in her voice.
“They’re like custom-made slippers. How did you get such a perfect fit?”
“I felt them last time.”
Though he pretended not to know, he explained how he knew the size, making her laugh silently.
“But how do Seol Ji-hyun and Seol Woojin… have the same last name? Seol isn’t a common surname…”
“We’re cousins. Ji-hyun is two years older.”
Then he’s her older cousin, but he speaks so rudely to him… She felt impressed again by the CEO’s personality.
“You are…”
Woojin started to say something but stopped, and Suyeong quickly spoke up.
“What about me?”
“Is your real job a housekeeper? You seem young…”
“No way. I graduated two years ago, and I’m currently job hunting.”
“For three years?”
“I used to teach kids at an academy, part-time. But my mom kept telling me to get a full-time job, so I took the TOEIC late, but I think I kept getting rejected because my score wasn’t good.”
“What job do you want to do?”
What do I want to do? She always got stuck at this part. What did she want to do?
“Don’t you have a job you want to do?”
“I just vaguely thought I wanted to be a writer.”
“A writer?”
Woojin’s expression became very serious.
“Why do you want to be a writer?”
“Just the thought of writing my thoughts down and having other people read them was very appealing… I wrote a lot of novels in middle and high school. In notebooks. My friends would pass them around and write their comments at the end… I had a lot of fans.”
“Don’t you write now?”
“I don’t even know how to become a writer, and since my major was Korean education, I naturally went into the field of education.”
“Writing doesn’t depend on your major. You can write even if you’re a math major.”
“I know. I just didn’t have the opportunity…”
“You didn’t look for it. Opportunities come to those who look for them.”
His words were true, but getting hit with facts like this made her subtly upset. Anyone can talk, right? Now it was her turn to attack.
“What do you do in your room all day, Seol Woojin? Practicing poses in the mirror?”
“…There’s no mirror.”
“Ah…”
Her perfect attack fell flat in one blow.
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.
