Since Danny handled Si-yoon and Mi-joo’s contract, notarized it, and even stood as a witness for their marriage, he couldn’t be unaware of their relationship.
Anyway, although the meanings are different, Mi-joo couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile at the fact that emotions were strangely entwined with the contract, whether it was Danny or her.
“I think I know what concerns Miss Mi-joo has right now.”
“Huh?”
“Professor Si-yoon, or rather, your senior, always keeps his promises no matter what happens. Trust me.”
Although she didn’t know what he meant, Danny’s words made Mi-joo want to believe in Si-yoon again.
However, Danny’s last words cooled Mi-joo’s feelings.
“A year passes quickly.”
‘A year!’
Although Danny intended to comfort and encourage Mi-joo, those words became arrows piercing Mi-joo’s heart.
Mi-joo and Si-yoon’s relationship is only for a year.
It clearly engraved the fact that it is a time-limited relationship.
Back at home, Mi-joo collapsed onto the bed weakly. The moment when she was left alone in the suite replayed in her mind, and a chill ran down her spine.
Mi-joo pulled up the blanket. During this time, she had become too accustomed to Si-yoon’s sweetness and kindness. Stepping back for a moment, she realized that she had nurtured overly tender feelings for Si-yoon.
‘I just need to maintain a sincere business relationship for the agreed-upon period. Yes, a year will pass quickly.’
Thinking about the contract rather than emotions seemed to help her gradually organize her sinking feelings.
Mi-joo suddenly stood up, took off the smooth-textured two-piece outfit, and changed into a loose shirt. Suddenly, she wanted to return the expensive clothes at least in a fit of generosity.
The face of Si-yoon, who would be embarrassed when receiving the clothes back, came to her mind, and she chuckled.
‘Why do I laugh when I think of that person?’
Suddenly, her eyes became warm.
What is this? Laughing and crying. Is she imbuing emotions even in the clothes Si-yoon left behind, simmering with emotions?
It wasn’t about the clothes. Mi-joo needed to push out Si-yoon’s memories from her heart and body, and she had to adopt the mindset of a contractor.
Si-yoon opened the door to a high-end singing bar.
People who were singing and those dancing to the music stopped and stood still in surprise when they saw Si-yoon.
Amidst only the shaking accompaniment and dizzying lights, a sharp commotion could be heard.
“What’s going on!”
It was Bok-jun, who was sitting in the middle, who shouted.
Although he was in his mid-thirties, he seemed young, and his face was quite well-maintained, perhaps due to his lack of maturity. However, his expression was not bright.
Si-yoon looked around and coolly said, “Free drinks are over for today, so everyone, please leave.”
People hurriedly left at the sharp and fierce momentum of Si-yoon, and Bok-jun looked at the scene in disbelief. Without anyone supporting him, they were all running away like rats from a sinking ship.
However, a few people still couldn’t leave and stood hesitantly. Si-yoon approached them and handed over thick bills.
“T-Thank you.”
Only then did they bow and quickly picked up the instruments and equipment that were stimulating the excitement. The remaining people also left outside. Bok-jun, whose pride was hurt, poured out his displeasure to Si-yoon.
“You son of a bitch.”
“Your grandfather is looking for you.”
“My father?”
As if it was nothing, Bok-jun crossed his legs, leaned his back against the sofa, and spoke provocatively.
“You can talk as much as you want. I have plenty of time.”
Bok-jun enjoyed himself, took off his wristwatch, and placed it on the table. It looked like a high-end watch among luxury watches, but Si-yoon instantly recognized that it was an imitation, sold after getting rid of the real one.
“My father will meet me on his own. Seeing that you’ve come all the way here, you must have something to say to me.”
To provoke Si-yoon, Bok-jun mixed his distinctive taunting tone into his words. However, Si-yoon had no intention of falling for such provocation.
“Auction, end it.”
“Who do you think you are, telling me what to do?”
“If you continue, I won’t be polite either.”
“It doesn’t seem like a position to make loud statements.”
Bok-jun, leaning on the sofa armrest with both arms, displayed an attitude of arrogance.
“I’m the owner of that pottery. If you want mine, bow your head politely. You have to request it. Kid.”
“…….”
Bok-jun tried to provoke, but at the same time, he slyly observed Si-yoon’s facial expressions.
“It was given to me by Hyung. You know that, right?”
It wasn’t a question seeking an answer. It was just a bragging statement, even imitating the hand shape of making pottery, as he spoke sarcastically.
“It’s like a novice trying to cast it, isn’t it? What meaning could it have had, right? So, he gave it to me. So, I casually tossed it into the auction house.”
Bok-jun had no significant intention in giving it away; he would dispose of it without much thought, even if it was the early work of a renowned artist.
“To Grandpa and me, each of Dad’s works is precious.”
“I feel the same way. If it’s so precious, why don’t you bid for it?”
There was a subtle shift in Si-yoon’s expression, but Bok-jun went on.
“If you need money, I’ll give you twice the expected bid amount.”
“Tsk, what’s the big deal about getting twice from Dad? He would give me more. In the current situation, I’ll get as much as I ask for. Only twice? Wow, does Kim Si-yoon’s distribution only reach this level? Does Dad even know about it?”
Si-yoon chuckled softly. And even though he was an uncle, Bok-jun, who failed to understand the situation, was amusing.
“If you don’t accept the offer now, you won’t be able to enter Korea for a while. Even if you enter, you’ll have to undergo an investigation.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Under the pretext of establishing a cultural foundation, you received unfair appearance fees while going around several companies.”
Though Bok-jun looked surprised, as if questioning how he knew, he soon casually played with the water glass.
“What will be investigated? Those people invested in me because they knew I would be the head. Investment!”
At the word ‘investment,’ Bok-jun put force into it and shouted while throwing the glass. However, Si-yoon was faster than Bok-jun.
Avoiding the water glass, Si-yoon approached Bok-jun, grabbed his collar, and lifted Bok-jun up in one go.
“Hey, hey! Put that down and talk.”
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.
