I turned my body to return to the classroom.
At that moment, I heard someone coming up the stairs.
“Huh.”
In an instant, my body stiffened at the unexpected situation.
Wait.
Could that person be the one who called me out?
If I go down now… Will I run into that person?
“…!”
Hide!
I hastily went towards the rooftop.
Looking around, there was a giant rectangular-shaped machine. I didn’t know what it was for, but it was enough to conceal my body.
I hid behind it.
Breathing heavily, I pondered.
“If things get bad, I’ll have to use the system to escape.”
I trust you, system!
[You only seek me at times like this! 〉ㅁ〈]Ignoring the system’s complaint, I cautiously peeked out to assess the situation.
After a moment.
With a creaking sound, someone opened the rooftop door and entered.
Hidden behind the door, the person’s identity wasn’t immediately visible. However, due to the long shadow cast on the floor, it was evident that the person was male.
“Who the heck called me… Huh?”
The moment I confirmed the man’s face, I was surprised, and my voice jumped.
“Sung Jichan?”
That’s right. The one who appeared on the rooftop was none other than our school’s top fighter, Sung Jichan!
Upon hearing my voice, Sung Jichan turned his head in my direction.
“Huh?”
As our eyes met, Sung Jichan spoke with a bewildered expression.
“Uh, what? Why are you here?”
That’s what I should be asking.
“Why are you here, of all people?”
“I asked that first.”
“No. Why did you come?”
Both of us stumbled over our words, repeating our questions like fools.
“At this rate, the conversation won’t end.”
I took out the letter from my pocket and showed it to Sung Jichan.
“Did you send this?”
Sung Jichan immediately replied.
“Does my handwriting look that pretty to you?”
“That’s true.”
It was too logical, and I accepted it right away.
“So, it means he didn’t call me out like this…”
After all, there was no reason for Sung Jichan to call me out like this.
“Then who sent it?”
I still had no clue.
I folded the letter neatly to put it back into my pocket.
At that moment, Sung Jichan snatched the letter from my hand.
“After school, on the rooftop?”
Sung Jichan frowned.
“What’s this?”
“I don’t know.”
“Huh?”
Sung Jichan, with a serious expression, read the letter again.
“Isn’t this a duel arena?”
Indeed, with his rich experience as the top fighter, he recognized it as a duel arena.
“Probably?”
“Probably?”
Sung Jichan handed the letter back to me, clicking his tongue.
“Chunja, what on earth have you been doing to get a duel arena invitation?”
This guy still called me Chunja…
“I haven’t done anything wrong.”
“If you haven’t done anything wrong, why get a duel arena invitation?”
“Then why do you receive duel arena challenges from Hae Sung High School students?”
After a moment of silence, Sung Jichan chuckled.
“Hmph.”
“You have those things only with unknown guys.”
Wow, the protagonist has no luck…
Feeling uncomfortable with Sung Jichan suddenly getting into a weird mood, I shook my head with a disgusted expression. Of course, Sung Jichan didn’t care at all.
“Anyway, do you also see this as a duel arena?”
To my question, Sung Jichan nodded his head.
The credibility increased with the opinion of a current top fighter.
“Indeed, it’s better to avoid it.”
Even if I didn’t know who the opponent was, I didn’t have confidence in winning a duel. Are we avoiding it because we’re scared? Yes. We’re avoiding it because we’re scared.
“Even if we don’t know who it is, let’s run away before they arrive.”
I decided once again to leave the rooftop.
“Hey, but give that to me again for a moment.”
At that moment, Sung Jichan suddenly spoke.
“What?”
“That.”
From his gesture, it seemed like he was talking about the duel arena.
“What is it?”
I handed the letter to Sung Jichan, who looked serious as if he knew something.
“No, but now is not the time for this, right? I should run away, shouldn’t I?”
Should I just give that letter to Sung Jichan and leave?
I don’t really need to take that letter with me if I’m going to run away anyway.
It was during this internal struggle that Sung Jichan suddenly spoke up.
“Oh, I know who sent this.”
“What? Who…”
That’s when it happened.
Creak.
The rooftop door opened.
Sung Jichan and I both turned our heads toward the door at the same time.
‘Who could it be?’
I was momentarily startled.
The person who entered this time was a girl.
A clear and gentle female voice could be heard.
“Jichan, I came…”
And then the girl walked out, making eye contact with me first.
“…”
“…”
Huh?
I was momentarily speechless and rolled my eyes.
‘Why is she here?’
Surprisingly, I knew the girl.
After a brief, hellish silence,
I cautiously opened my mouth while observing her reactions.
“Hello… there?”
At that moment, the girl’s face contorted.
‘Uh, this is bad.’
I didn’t know what was going on, but I could clearly sense that something was going seriously wrong again.
And behind me, Sung Jichan, seemingly indifferent, casually said,
“You came?”
That’s right.
This time, the visitor was one of Sung Jichan’s acquaintances.
The girl’s identity was Sung Jichan’s ex-girlfriend, Han Yewon.
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.
