“Let’s go. I called you to brag about my bride to people.”
As Siyun spoke, everyone’s attention was already focused on Miju. Miju, sensitive to the surrounding gaze, felt burdened by the curious eyes already observing her.
After a few hours, Siyun met Miju again and embraced her tightly.
‘Everyone is watching.’
Although she said that, rather than receiving the gazes of others, it felt more comfortable to avoid those looks by being covered in Siyun’s embrace.
Siyun, holding Miju’s face and kissing her forehead, then pulled Miju even closer, as if not wanting to let her go.
The pressure on her chest and abdomen made it difficult to breathe, but the constriction felt good enough to burst. Even the loud music seemed unheard, and only the sound of her own heartbeat echoed loudly in Miju’s ears.
Siyun, slightly loosening his grip, buried his face in Miju’s neck and playfully tickled her with his nose. Miju, delving into Siyun’s embrace, whispered.
“Mr. Siyun, you seem quite drunk.”
Hugging passionately in front of Siyun’s acquaintances was a bit embarrassing, but if it weren’t for the alcohol, asserting ownership like this felt acceptable. Anyway, now she had to take the drunken Siyun home.
“Let’s introduce ourselves later. Let’s go home, Mr. Siyun.”
Siyun thought this was enough introduction. He didn’t want to go through the trouble of introducing Miju to talkative people. Even if he introduced her and exchanged a few words, it would only satisfy their curiosity.
However, if he kept Miju hidden like a secret lover until the wedding, various speculations would surely arise. Just by showing them together in a public place, he thought it was enough for an introduction.
As Siyun held Miju’s waist and walked out the door, the eyes of the people inside the club all followed their movements. Then belated cheers could be heard.
“Let’s get a closer look at that face.”
“Give us an introduction!”
“Why are you leaving already?”
But Siyun didn’t pay any attention and walked out the door. Siyun, on the way to the car, seemed to be in a good mood, singing a song and leaning on Miju, bumping into her from time to time.
“Hey, Mr. Kim Siyun, you’re about to fall.”
“Someone, hold Siyun.”
Although his friends, who followed to see Siyun off, approached to support him, Siyun waved them off and stood even closer to Miju.
“He doesn’t seem drunk from his laughter.”
“Right. Siyun is already drunk with that amount!”
‘These annoying guys!’
As Siyun glanced back, gesturing for them to be quiet, and raised his eyebrows, his friends suppressed their laughter.
Finally, following Siyun’s desired pace, Miju walked with him.
As someone who had never seen Siyun drunk before, Miju found Siyun’s state both awkward and cute.
‘Whether it’s boiling Hwangtaeguk or Kongnamulguk, I should boil a pot and eat it, and I should suppress my competition as well.’
During this time, Siyun had been teased about his drinking habits, like how much he needed to drink before taking off his clothes or whether the film would be cut off. Now, it was Miju’s turn to tease Siyun.
Before getting in the car, Siyun greeted his friends.
“Since we didn’t formally greet today, prepare a place for us next time.”
“There won’t be a next time. It’s a waste, so I won’t show myself anymore.”
After joking or perhaps making a serious comment, Siyun introduced each of his friends to Miju.
“This is Park Jungwoo, the head of planning at SS Construction. He’s the one who built the complex we’re currently living in.”
“Ah, hello.”
Miju bowed politely.
“No need to be polite; he only built the building, so you don’t have to greet him politely.”
Being among friends, Siyun’s face was full of mischief.
“This friend is Kim Siu, the Ocean Distribution Executive. You know, the mart in front of our house. And on this side is Kim Hoon, the team leader at New Spring Cosmetics.”
“I’ve been a team leader for only six months, and you still call me a team leader?”
“Oh, sorry, Team Leader. And here’s Minho Lee, the CEO who left his father’s company and is struggling to start a startup.”
All the friends greeted Miju warmly, shaking hands. But Siyun, with a tiger-like look, eyed his friends’ hands.
“Don’t step on any toes.”
“Hey, shaking hands is just a casual greeting, isn’t it?”
“I’m going to live a classic life with Miss Miju, so don’t act like an enlightened intellectual.”
“Got it. This guy is lying when he says he’s jealous. Miss Miju, this Professor Kim is lying.”
Siyun laughed happily at his friends’ words and actions. In the meantime, Miju felt relieved that they didn’t approach her, wondering how she should behave and speak.
But that was a mistake.
“Miss Miju, we should have a housewarming party sometime, right?”
“Ah! Yes.”
Flustered, she quickly answered, and for a moment, her friends cheered.
“If Miss Miju approves, there’s nothing to stop us from coming later.”
“You’re right. Miss Miju, what about Mr. Kim? How can you bring a guy who doesn’t even know his family history into your house? Whether it’s a housewarming or whatever, you’re out.”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
