After their first date, there had been no contact from Yeon Ju, and Seok Won was curious about her thoughts. Now, with a good excuse related to Kang Hyun’s errand, he seized the opportunity.
“President Gu Se Jun is the culprit? So, Kang Hyun’s stepmother’s brother?”
“Essentially, the executive director’s uncle.”
“He’s insane. Why would he target Seo Yoon?”
“Not Seo Yoon, but Seo Ji An. Gu Se Jun’s movie production company was near Seo Yoon’s apartment four years ago. The goons, following Gu Se Jun’s orders, caused the accident seeing a face identical to the photos.”
“So he hit Seo Yoon and also killed Seo Ji An?”
“We need to investigate further.”
Seok Won took out a phone and a USB from his coat pocket and slid them towards Yeon Ju.
Yeong Ju had to deliver these items to her second elder brother.
“This one is Choi Jun Young’s phone, and this is the recording of the conversation between Director Kang and Choi Jun Young. They’re evidence of Gu Se Jun’s involvement. Please pass them to Prosecutor Jang with a request for discretion. Director Kang still believes that the late Chairman Tae had a hand in switching Seo Ji An and Seo Yoon.”
“Even if he wanted to remove Seo Yoon from Director Kang’s side, would he go to such lengths?”
Yeong Ju sighed heavily with a troubled heart and put the items she couldn’t leave on the table into her bag.
“You never really know what’s in a person’s heart, do you?”
Seok Won, having finished his errand, looked at Yeong Ju, who was busy muttering curses at whoever was behind all this.
He had also been there.
The person whose heart he couldn’t figure out, who had cut off contact after their first date.
He had vowed not to be swayed by whatever she did.
But as her face and voice, which he saw and heard daily, disappeared, the feelings he had been suppressing began to leak out.
“Have you been busy lately?”
“Yeah, with the exhibition. I’m so busy with the secretary work at Seo Won Construction that my main job has been neglected. Why, miss me? Feel empty without me? Want to see me?”
But Seok Won immediately regretted showing interest in Yeong Ju as she bombarded him with questions.
“Why can’t you answer? Huh?”
He regretted it again as he found her short bob and the way she shook her head with excitement cute.
His resolution to cut off ties with Yeong Ju after three dates was becoming increasingly blurred.
[Star icon] [Star icon] [Star icon]On the morning of the resort business trip, Ji An, dressed in a beige sweater, light padding, and an additional thick coat, opened the passenger door of the car familiarly.
It was cold enough to see your breath.
After a relatively warm start to the winter, the air had suddenly turned bitterly cold in just a few days.
“Wow, it’s warm.”
Shivering during the few steps from the communal entrance to the car, Ji An gave Kang Hyun a thumbs up for preheating the seat.
A soft laugh dispersed, and then a soft blanket and a hand warmer fell onto Ji An’s lap.
“Did you bring these yourself?”
“Hold the hand warmer, it’s cold.”
“It’s really warm because of the heater.”
“Still.”
As he drove out of the apartment complex, Kang Hyun glanced at Ji An’s slender white neck protruding from her sweater.
“Don’t you wear scarves because they’re uncomfortable?”
“Yes, they feel scratchy and suffocating. I don’t like turtlenecks either, so my mom nags me a lot in winter.”
Perhaps the habits ingrained in her body hadn’t disappeared.
Hearing a similar response to what the past Seo Yoon would have said, Kang Hyun gripped the steering wheel tightly.
Every time he realized how much of the past Seo Yoon remained in her, even after losing her memory, his dead heart would irregularly throb.
“You should keep your neck warm in winter. You don’t seem to have strong immunity, and if you catch the flu or something, what then?”
“If Director Kang really puts his mind to it, he could rival my mom in nagging.”
Ji An chuckled, stealthily glancing at Kang Hyun’s profile as he focused on the road ahead. She newly realized how well the black turtleneck he wore under his suit jacket suited him, especially noticing his more defined jawline.
“Don’t just look, say what you want to say.”
As Kang Hyun gently braked at a red light, he turned his head toward the passenger seat.
Caught by his deep black eyes, Ji An initially flinched like someone caught stealing but quickly regained her composure.
“Director Kang, you seem to have lost some weight.”
“Well, I’m not so sure.”
“What about meals? Are you eating properly?”
“We eat lunch together, don’t we?”
Ji An frowned at his indifferent response, which almost sounded like someone else’s problem. She harbored a reasonable suspicion that he had lost a significant amount of weight if even she, who wasn’t particularly observant, noticed it. The concern suddenly overwhelmed her.
“It’s not just lunch, right?”
“I eat dinner too.”
Doubtful but remembering Kang Hyun’s occasional stubbornness, Ji An nodded. She resolved to ensure he ate three meals a day while she was with him, tightly holding the hand warmer he had given her.
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.
