Sun Woo narrowed his brows, looking down at Eun Jae who kept prodding and glancing back.
“What did you just say?”
“Hurry! I think he’s noticed.”
Before Sun Woo could give his permission, Eun Jae’s slender arms tried to wrap around his waist, lightly gripping his shirt on both sides.
“What did he notice―”
He hadn’t even figured out if what he had heard earlier was correct. Eun Jae, however, dove straight into Sun Woo’s embrace.
“Just for a moment like this, until Tae Kyu passes by.”
Eun Jae whispered carefully, worried her voice might leak out. Her single whisper sent Sun Woo’s head spinning.
“You said it, mister. There’s one more person who is quick to notice. That guy.”
By the time he regained a bit of composure, Sun Woo too saw Tae Kyu leisurely walking towards the courtyard.
Thus, minutes passed, and Eun Jae’s lips, which had been pressed against Sun Woo’s chest, slowly moved.
“Ah, is he still here?”
At Eun Jae’s words, Sun Woo lifted his eyes to look inside the house. There was no sign of Tae Kyu; perhaps he had already passed.
“Did, did he leave?”
She seemed embarrassed, having impulsively snuggled up to him, especially after spending some time held in his arms.
Eun Jae, her ears turning red, continued to stutter. At this, the corner of Sun Woo’s mouth lifted in a light smile.
“No.”
As if telling her not to think anything else, Sun Woo buried his face even deeper into Eun Jae’s shoulder. The rhythmic heartbeat and the sweet scent of her skin swirled around his nostrils.
“Why is he walking around like that? Is he monitoring? Is he still here…?”
Was he getting drowsy from the scent?
“Yep, he’s still here.”
Sun Woo pulled Eun Jae deeper into his embrace.
She didn’t want to escape.
Eun Jae, nestled in the man’s firm arms, heard his heart pounding anxiously.
Thump, thump, thump, thump.
It was a very fast and intense movement.
After a few more minutes had passed, Sun Woo finally let Eun Jae go.
Eun Jae, slowly disentangling from Sun Woo’s arms, couldn’t look straight at him for a while.
Eun Jae’s brown eyes couldn’t focus on a single spot and were wandering around.
“Shall, shall we go?”
Eun Jae pointed towards the courtyard door leading to the living room with an awkward smile. She felt as if she would stop breathing if she didn’t escape from there as soon as possible.
It seemed like the only exit she could escape from this situation where every minute and second was suffocating.
Although she should have become accustomed to the kindness with a clear purpose, she was still deceived by the man’s gentle smile, fooled by his affection, and helplessly swayed by unnecessary emotions.
No, I already…
Eun Jae bit her lip hard.
“Yoon Sun Woo, I’m not serious about you.”
Yes, it’s just an act, just fake emotions. As she rationalized, a bitter smile spread on her lips. She knew it in her head, but her heart kept denying it.
Pull yourself together. This is just a play, and the man is just doing his best in his role. Don’t try to attribute meaning to the man’s trivial actions.
Looking at the man’s deep gaze that anyone would be fooled by, Eun Jae regained her composure.
As Eun Jae, who had barely sorted out her thoughts, took a step towards the door, Sun Woo, who had been standing a bit closer to the door, moved his step first and opened the glass door.
Sun Woo, who had first stepped over the threshold of the wide open courtyard door, naturally stretched his hand behind.
But there’s nobody, why?
Eun Jae’s lips that were about to speak, remained closed.
Could it be that her heart felt a little lighter because she vowed to consider it as an act of necessity? Contrary to her true feelings, Eun Jae grabbed Sun Woo’s hand which had reached out to her.
At the moment their hands overlapped, she thought she saw a faint smile on the man’s face.
It must have been a misconception.
Eun Jae stepped into the living room first, and it was when Sun Woo turned around to close the door.
Even though he knew that Eun Jae was trying to wriggle her hand out, Sun Woo stubbornly held onto Eun Jae’s hand, pretending not to know, and didn’t let go. He looked down at Eun Jae with a playful face and belatedly noticed the presence of Seok Hee standing in front of him.
Seok Hee looked at Sun Woo and Eun Jae alternately, and then lowered his gaze to their joined hands.
Quickly realizing where the gaze was focused, Eun Jae pulled her hand out of Sun Woo’s hand. It was then that Sun Woo obediently let go of Eun Jae’s hand. Eun Jae’s cheeks quickly flushed pink.
Seok Hee passed by the two without saying a word. As soon as Seok Hee’s figure completely disappeared around the corner, Eun Jae let out a deep breath she had been holding.
“I, I don’t think I can live up to my name.”
“Why?”
While she was serious about it, the man was laughing instead. Annoyed at his response, Eun Jae gave Sun Woo a hard look.
Eun Jae whispered to Sun Woo, who was coming closer with an expression asking if she really didn’t know why.
“I’m scared that I’ll get caught, my heart is pounding like crazy.”
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.
