“Trying to trace you backward using the locator that was on your body, they’re observing from above slowly. The presidential election was this year, so be careful. Espionage activities, especially if revealed, shouldn’t happen.”
Facing Kwon Ki-joo, who had survived and come back from death without demanding compensation and immediately disappeared home, Kwang-il spoke.
Despite calling him numerous times, Ki-joo, once showing his face, sat down and nodded vaguely. Even though it was his job, he seemed uninterested.
Kwang-il knew even without looking. A woman was waiting at home. She almost died with Ki-joo, thinking he was dead, but now that he’s alive, what a strange feeling.
“I don’t know how many years it’s been since such an incident. There’s news that even the director is keeping an eye on you. You know? What do you think about the future? Your wife, you even rejected the national compensation, but you should accept it this time. That. It’s not for a lifetime.”
Ki-joo’s expression changed at the last sentence. How to handle it in the future was beyond his control, and it was a matter to be handled from above, but this was different.
Burn scars, long from the side to the back and stomach, would undoubtedly remain for a lifetime, even with regenerative therapy.
Eun-chae hadn’t seen it yet.
She was worried about Ki-joo’s feelings when she refused compensation, even without hearing the depth of that feeling, her heart was pounding.
Oh, Ki-joo covered his face with one hand.
To protect this happiness, I want to do anything. Even if it’s selfish, it doesn’t matter.
Looking at the man who returned to her side, Eun-chae often had such thoughts.
Ki-joo, who didn’t know that, had been busy reviewing detailed information about charity activities and charity events that she had been conducting alone.
Honestly, she didn’t like that either.
Still busy looking for Kwon Ki-joo in the morning, and in the afternoon, she peeked into the study every thirty minutes.
She thought she shouldn’t do this, and while comforting herself, she would wake up to find herself staring at the study again. It was an action born out of fear of a subtle illusion created by the man’s desperate appearance.
At some point, Eun-chae felt like a fool and pathetic. In the end, she came out to the bench in the garden, sat down, and exposed her reddened face to the wind.
Leaning deeply against the bench, she moistened her forehead in the breeze. Her neck tightened in the crisp wind. The tip of her head stood up in that cool sensation.
No, actually, it was because her eyes met with him standing by the window. Documents were still in his hands, indicating that the review was not yet complete.
Slowly straightening her neck and turning around, she looked back. He was not changing his posture.
Although he said he had to go out again for that dangerous matter, when he was at home, he wasted time watching her. What I want is not those things, but Kwon Ki-joo, only one person.
You still don’t know what’s important.
Eun-chae glared at him with hot yet cold eyes. Ki-joo lowered the arm that held the documents, but his face showed no emotion.
How long had she been staring? When he turned his head, he soon disappeared from the window.
Eun-chae couldn’t take her eyes off the lingering image of Ki-joo by the window for a long time, then she buried her face in her hands. She swallowed the condensed emotions rising through her throat.
He’s someone too precious to me.
In the place he belonged, they frequently used and casually discarded Kwon Ki-joo.
It made her angry, sad, and unbearable.
Amidst the surging emotions, she heard the sound of footsteps on the grass. Eun-chae finally lowered her hands from her face.
Ki-joo was standing a step ahead. When she said nothing, he put his hand in his pocket and raised one eyebrow.
Even without speaking, it seemed like his voice could be heard. Why are you acting like this?
“I’m going to say something that might sound awful right now.”
“……. ”
“If you don’t want to hear it, run away. I’ll give you a chance.”
“Go ahead. Say the awful thing.”
“About that… Instead of continuing that work, how about working as my bodyguard?”
It was an unexpected proposal, and Ki-joo raised a skeptical eyebrow.
“Do you think I can’t feed myself?”
He chuckled at her words, drawing lines as smooth as the real estate market.
Eun-chae blushed for a moment. In fact, if it weren’t for Ki-joo, she probably couldn’t have protected even this mansion. Strictly speaking, it was a property he had built and managed.
It was a bit embarrassing to use this to gain support, but it was the only thing she could boast about.
Despite being momentarily embarrassed, Eun-chae boldly lifted her chin.
Ki-joo looked at her with a stubborn chin and opened his mouth.
“But still, I’m your husband. Isn’t it not that great to be a bodyguard?”
“Just settle down completely now. Don’t do dangerous things. Don’t… leave.”
He didn’t answer. Anyway, she didn’t expect him to.
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.
