“If you don’t like it, I also have café mocha.”
Si Yoon showed her another glass.
“No, I like it.”
‘I like it….’ Thinking of her lovely voice, Si Yoon slightly smiled and handed her the glass.
Then he took a seat in the middle of the three-seater sofa. Even though he sat a bit away from Mi Joo, the force with which he sank into the sofa was felt by her as well.
Mi Joo held the glass with both hands and glanced at him. His robe parted, revealing his broad shoulders and thick chest muscles.
Mi Joo quickly gulped down her drink like a thirsty man.
“Women worry about calories, don’t they? Or maybe not.”
“You have to indulge in high calories at least once a day…….”
Mi Joo suddenly stopped speaking and put down her glass. She didn’t want to disclose her dietary habits. And then she clumsily tried to make an excuse.
“Women like sweet things. Ah. You don’t understand women, do you?”
Watching Mi Joo provoke him, Si Yoon chuckled.
“Do I need to know?”
Right, this man isn’t interested in women. He neither wants to know about women nor understands them.
And yet here she is, her heart fluttering at the sight of his broad chest, breathless at his sexy back, and stirred by his soft voice.
‘Forget it. Don’t even think about it.’
If she keeps feeling attracted to this man, she’s no different from that woman who kissed him unilaterally in the parking lot.
And then she felt sorry again. Mi Joo looked at Si Yoon, trying to maintain a composed face.
“Do you eat well? Are you at peace?”
Caught off guard by the question, Si Yoon’s eyebrow twitched slightly.
“Should I connect you to a counseling center I know?”
“What counseling center?”
“A center for victims of sexual violence.”
Si Yoon chuckled briefly after a moment of thought.
“Are you worried about me?”
“It looks okay on the outside and you said you won’t sue, but psychological trauma shouldn’t be ignored.”
Mi Joo, gathering courage from somewhere, moved slightly closer to him.
“It’s good to see a professional if it’s hard.”
Si Yoon sank deeper into the sofa and ran his hand over his face.
‘Ah, this woman, why is she so soft-hearted.’
“If you’re holding back because you’re worried your secret might be revealed.”
“My secret? What is it?”
Si Yoon raised his head from the sofa, looking at her as if to ask what secret she knew about him.
“That thing the woman in the parking lot said.”
“What did she say?”
He didn’t usually care what others said, but now that Mi Joo was speaking so seriously, he was curious to hear.
“That you like men, Si Yoon.”
Mi Joo felt embarrassed saying this, wishing she could disappear into the sofa.
Si Yoon burst into a hollow laugh. Looking at him laugh incredulously, Mi Joo, still embarrassed and serious, didn’t realize she might be misunderstanding.
“If you’re holding back because of that being revealed….”
“Are you concerned about me? Or are you mocking me? Pick one!”
Si Yoon’s voice, deep and serious, was almost scary.
Who is worried about whom?
Now that he thought about it, this woman must think Si Yoon is not interested in women, so she’s disarmed.
That’s why she came to this big house alone at dusk, comfortably worrying and comforting Si Yoon.
‘A naive rabbit has rolled into a tiger’s den without knowing it.’
Si Yoon felt an urge to reveal the tiger instinct lurking within him to this rabbit.
The thought of her getting scared and shrinking back with wide eyes at the mere lift of his large paw brought a strange smile to his face, but he soon tucked away his impudent thoughts.
‘Why is it amusing that this woman is genuinely worried and comforting me?’
He became curious and somewhat tickled by Mi Joo’s absurd behavior, wanting to see how far she would go.
“Don’t worry. I don’t have PTSD, and there’s no need for a counseling center.”
“That’s good to hear. You said there’s no lawsuit or testimony needed, right?”
“Yes.”
“Phew.”
Mi Joo let out a noticeably long sigh. Her chest rose prominently and then fell down with her small shoulders.
“So, shall we talk about work?”
Si Yoon was puzzled by the sudden shift from comfort to work.
“Do you always jump back and forth between emotions and thoughts like this?”
“It’s not jumping back and forth; I’ve switched to work mode now. I need to earn money.”
Mi Joo, blatantly expressing her intention to earn money, did not hide her feelings.
Si Yoon found Mi Joo different from other women he had known, unfamiliar and surprising, yet he agreed to her seriousness.
“Ah, work mode. Do you have other modes too?”
“What?”
Mi Joo looked at him with slightly defensive eyes. Si Yoon smiled resignedly.
“Don’t be tense. Why would you be nervous around me?”
“Sorry.”
“Let’s stop saying sorry to each other. And let’s not do things that make us apologize.”
“Sorry….”
Mi Joo caught herself mid-sentence and then softly added.
“What documents do you need?”
“Marriage certificate.”
“Whose marriage certificate?”
“…My marriage certificate.”
Relieved, Mi Joo sighed noticeably and relaxed.
“Why?”
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.
