On the other end of the phone, Kwon Seungjoo spoke sternly to Naeun.
“I told you not to interfere in adult matters.”
A slightly awkward voice followed.
“And… I regret it.”
She couldn’t take it anymore.
Eunseo burst out of the blanket, snatched her phone, and threw it away. Then, clenching her teeth, she fiercely punched him.
“I have nothing to say to a kid, really!”
It was strange. Just a short while ago, she would get nervous and feel suffocated when she was close to him, and now she was even hitting him.
Was it because he knew that he liked her? Although he still wasn’t as comfortable as an eighteen-year-old Seungjoo, at least now he wasn’t as intimidating. Even if he had a cold expression, it didn’t make her as tense when she thought that he secretly found her cute.
Even as he smiled gently and took the punches to his shoulders and arms, the man suddenly groaned when he received a hit to his side.
“Ugh!”
Hastily, he bent over in pain, and his forehead, which was normally smooth, contorted in agony. Eunseo, surprised, stopped her hand.
“Why are you like this?”
“It’s nothing.”
Something occurred to her.
‘Could it be because of the traffic accident that happened before?’
However, Eunseo quickly shook her head. When they lived together in Yeonsadong, Seungjoo had come out of the bathroom half undressed. She clearly saw that the bruises were almost gone at that time, so why were they still there?
Thinking something was strange, Eunseo reached out to the hem of his clothes.
“Let me see.”
He skillfully avoided her hand.
“Don’t just strip a man’s clothes off.”
But Eunseo wasn’t in the mood for jokes.
“Let me see.”
“Are you prepared to take responsibility?”
His attempt to brush it off in a nonchalant manner only made it more ominous.
“Just stay still for a moment!”
Eventually, the man seemed to resign himself, and as Eunseo wanted, he let her be. Lifting the hem of his shirt, Eunseo almost screamed.
There were bruises all over his stomach and sides.
“What’s all this? These weren’t there after the last accident.”
Certainly, these bruises weren’t from the last accident. It was a new injury that occurred after that.
“I just bumped into something.”
“What happened? Where did you bump into?”
He bit his lips and lowered his head.
“If you don’t tell me, I’ll leave this house right now.”
After saying it, she realized what an absurd threat it was. Even if she left, there was nowhere for her to go.
Ironically, the threat was accepted by the man who liked her.
Kwon Seungjoo sighed and answered, “I got hit by a car.”
“What happened?”
“I jumped into the path of a moving car.”
“Why in the world!”
Eunseo’s voice was almost a scream.
“Kwon Seunghyun, that jerk, introduced you to me as his girlfriend on the day he came to my office.”
Eunseo quickly remembered. It was the day before she recovered her memories, when the younger Seungjoo, pretending to be the adult Kwon Seungjoo, came to her office with kimbap.
That day, Kwon Seunghyun confidently placed his arm around Eunseo’s shoulders and spoke.
“I’ll introduce you, hyung. She’s my girlfriend.”
Eunseo had uttered even harsher words than Kwon Seunhyun, words she didn’t want to recall one by one.
“Did you really jump in front of a car, saying you would die because of me and get hurt?”
Kwon Seungjoo nodded.
“I knew it wasn’t sincere even back then. I also knew why you were saying such things.”
At that time, Seungjoo wasn’t deceived by Eunseo’s acting. Instead, he had told her not to sacrifice herself for him.
“Then why did you do such a thing?”
“I hated myself for not being able to protect you. So, I thought I had to find a way to recover your memories.”
With a sigh, the man began to recount the story of that day.
“Unable to hold hands or kiss, huh?”
Even though Eunseo poured out harsh words with a fierce expression, Seungjoo saw through them all. None of those words were sincere.
“It’s not that I didn’t have feelings for you, but it can’t be you.”
The reason for his behavior was already apparent. He must have been threatened by Kwon Seunhyun to reveal the fact that he lost his memory and turned into a child.
Thinking about Eunseo, who was forced to meet an unpleasant man to protect herself, it was maddening. She wanted to pull him out of that jerk’s clutches immediately, but the eighteen-year-old version of herself had no strength.
Now, there was no choice but for her memories to return.
Only then could she save Eunseo noona.
Even after hitting her head several times with a clenched fist and banging it hard against a pillar, there was nothing but pain. The part of her head where memories after eighteen were stored remained dark, like a stage where the monodrama’s spotlight didn’t shine.
Without thinking, Seungjoo rushed out of the house. He leaped into a passing car. Since it was a small road in front of the house, he calculated that the car wouldn’t run fast, so he wouldn’t die.
Screech!
The compact car hit Seungjoo, screaming sharply, and came to a sudden stop.
He didn’t die, but it hurt like death.
“Are you okay?”
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.
