Apart from the sound of knocking on the door, no other sounds were audible. At that moment, Gwangil, who had tensed his body to go to the greenhouse, heard a faint sound that wouldn’t be heard unless he concentrated.
He opened the door without hesitation, and his large body entered, closing the door with a bang behind him.
Apart from the sound of knocking on the door, no other sounds could be heard. In that moment, as Kijoo tensed his body to enter the greenhouse, he heard a faint sound that wouldn’t be audible unless he concentrated. He, as if frozen in place, opened the door without hesitation.
As Kijoo entered, the door closed with a bang behind his large body.
Eunchae, who was sitting on the bed, looked up at Kijoo with surprised eyes but then quickly averted her head. However, unable to endure any longer, she bit her lips, and a sobbing sound escaped through the lips that she was biting.
She soon fell forward as if about to collapse. Her black hair flowed down along her shoulders. Like tears streaming down her cheeks.
“I thought there wouldn’t be any more… bad things happening, but it’s getting worse…”
“…”
“That person, Chairman Song Myunghwan, seems to have cheated on my mom. No, they probably met before marriage, right? I don’t know. My head hurts too much…”
Eunchae covered her crying mouth and slowly raised her upper body. The eyes of Kijoo, who was watching, moved to her trembling shoulders, shaky hands, and bloodshot eyes.
“Lately, Park Jinseong often comes to our house. That person… is Chairman Song Myunghwan’s real son.”
Things too fragile to touch as if they might break from the slightest force cried in sorrow.
“Am I going crazy? I wish it was just my imagination. But I saw a picture! A childhood photo of Park Jinseong given to Chairman Song Myunghwan by Madame Sung Munhee… and it said he’s Chairman Song Myunghwan’s son…”
Eunchae eventually lay back on the bed. Her rounded back stirred silently.
Kijoo, looking down at that hunched back, then tilting his head back to look at the ceiling, took a deep breath. Strangely, his breathing wasn’t steady.
It seemed like he was used to silently crying while holding his breath.
Watching that figure, it clearly felt like he was standing on the ground, but it seemed like his body was falling backward. So, he leaned forward, embraced her gently, and enveloped Eunchae’s round body.
The sobbing Eunchae, who was whimpering, stopped crying for a moment.
“Don’t cry.”
The voice that came out laboriously from behind her neck seemed like a spell. Feeling him gradually tightening around her, Eunchae closed her eyes. From him, she could extract the warm temperature, breath, and scent. In this deep pool of emotions, things like these were what could pull out her heart.
Even in this moment when the reason that never wavered exploded, it was the same.
As the luxury sedan passed through the road, the dark evening seemed to swallow it in the shadows of the trees.
Chairman Song Myunghwan, unable to wait for the report that should have come up by now, took out his phone himself.
“Ahem.”
Regardless of whether no news is good news, this was taking too long, even if it was expected to be a bit time-consuming.
As long as Kwon Kijoo’s identity is pierced, it would be over in a day. No, in a few hours. Was the order to bring him back conscious really that difficult?
Well, when I think about it, he was an unusual guy to work with as a problem solver. So, that’s why I trusted him and wanted to have him. Among the collections I had acquired after money started flowing in abundantly, it was the item I liked the most.
Even without direct orders, he handled everything on his own, so he was like a machine rather than a living being. Unlike other riffraff who engaged in troublesome affairs or caused accidents due to women issues, he was judged to be a luxury that wouldn’t come twice.
It was a mistake. The situation of opening my eyes and pinching my nose was exactly like this. In my own house, with my daughter. Moreover, the neatly organized threat that felt planned followed when questioned.
After feeding and raising, how dare he.
Chairman Song growled and tightened his jaw.
Even if I assigned all the members of the direct security team, could they not catch him? Since he had ordered to gather the family as well, it could only be assumed that it would take some time.
Chairman Song took a deep breath and leaned back. The sound echoed from the firm leather in line with the chairman’s physique. Feeling sleepy as tension left his body, Chairman Song checked the area beyond the window. It was an unfamiliar and quiet street.
“Hey, did you take the wrong road?”
The driver responded, looking at the navigation.
“It seems there’s an accident nearby, so it’s guiding us through a different route.”
Chairman Song, with a displeased face, closed his eyes.
After about tens of minutes, although it felt like he had been driving for a long time even before closing his eyes, they still hadn’t arrived. Unless a major bridge collapsed, it was an unreasonable situation.
Eventually, as Chairman Song was about to say something with his eyes open, the car finally came to a stop. When the driver who got out of the driver’s seat opened the door, Chairman Song, who had slowly come out of the car, looked around.
The wide land was surrounded by trees with many branches, and scattered weeds and remaining construction materials were scattered on the ground.
“Are you playing a prank on me? Where on earth is this?”
Chairman Song raised his voice, looking at the driver as if he was dumbfounded. The driver, observing Chairman Song’s reaction, slowly spoke up.
“You probably don’t remember.”
“What nonsense! Turn the car around right now!”
Chairman Song grumbled and tried to get back into the car. And just then, behind Chairman Song, a voice younger than the driver’s age was heard.
“It’s been 13 years, but you probably don’t remember.”
Chairman Song, who was about to get back into the car, turned around slowly with numerous eyebrows raised.
“One person died here 13 years ago.”
A person who died 13 years ago…
Chairman Song, standing still as if frozen, looked around nervously. Unable to say a word due to the eerie atmosphere and staring at the driver, at that moment, the driver chuckled and, smiling, grabbed the opposite side of Chairman Song’s chin with his right hand.
“W-what.”
Chairman Song panicked at the sight of the man whose face seemed to tear off. He thought he saw a ghost, but in the current situation, a face more terrifying than a ghost was revealed.
Huh. Chairman Song’s wrinkled mouth trembled and closed tightly.
It was Kwon Kijoo.
Chairman Song, feeling chills to the point where he didn’t want to think about when Kwon Kijoo had been playing the role of a driver since today, barely raised his hand to scold him.
“Who are you, really?”
Identity.
Looking at Chairman Song, who seemed to be foaming and on the verge of fainting, Kijoo recalled the past for a moment.
An identity changed dozens of times while working as an agent. No, it started even before that. Since working as a black agent, there were times when he forgot his most primitive self. There had never been a time to review Kwon Kijoo like this.
His first memory was when he was very young, and it was unfortunate.
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.
