On the day when Seung-joo abruptly stopped in front of Eun-seo’s lips, he declared.
[I’m going to kiss my sister.]About the first kiss for which the date and time were accurately specified, Eun-seo had secretly imagined occasionally. Perhaps it would be sweet enough to melt her entire body. Like soft and sweet whipped cream…
However, the actual sensation of the first kiss felt like being struck by lightning.
There was no room to feel the sweet sensation. Like a beast cooking its prey caught under its claws, he firmly held Eun-seo’s chin, ruthlessly sucked her lips, and delved into them without restraint. It felt as if he would swallow her whole with the real mountain.
“Wait…!”
He didn’t even give her a chance to breathe. When she tried to forcefully separate her lips, as if saying, ‘Where are you going?’ he quickly pursued and swallowed her again.
Feeling like she was about to die, Eun-seo, overwhelmed by fear, struggled frantically.
Only then did the trap that had confined her completely loosen a bit. Taking advantage of the opening, Eun-seo, using every bit of strength left in her body, escaped from his embrace.
…!
Taking a few steps back, he stared at Eun-seo, who was breathing heavily. His black pupils were shining not with the usual gentle and affectionate light but with a much more intense emotion.
The gaze of a man looking at a woman.
The gaze of a predator looking at its rightful prey.
From the lips, still shining with the kiss just shared, a title she had never heard before flowed out.
“Yoon Eun-seo.”
Former President Kwon Seung-joo used to call her ‘Miss Yoon Eun-seo,’ and the eighteen-year-old Seung-joo used to call her ‘Nuna Eun-seo.’
Then who on earth was this man?
Without the cold gaze or a gentle smile, he reached out towards her exposed shoulder. Unconsciously, Eun-seo recoiled as if avoiding a hot iron rod.
…!
The perfectly shaped eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“Why, do you dislike me?”
The low and resonant voice sounded as if he were angry.
Whether the memories had returned, or if the memories from that time had disappeared, she didn’t know. She didn’t have the luxury to think about such things.
The only thing she could clearly ascertain with her completely frozen mind was that this man was definitely not her Seung-joo.
Fearful of the unknown man, Eun-seo involuntarily took a step backward.
“Yoon Eun-seo.”
Although the man called her again and approached, she paid no attention. Eun-seo turned around and, with trembling legs, ran away. Completely absorbed in getting away from him, she didn’t even notice that one of her high heels had come off and escaped.
…
Watching her retreating figure from a distance, the man finally bent down slowly and picked up her fallen shoe.
As it was, Eun-seo hailed a taxi and returned home. Even inside the taxi, she covered her mouth with her hands all the time, but the sensation of his lips lingered tenaciously.
It was her first time returning home in over a week. It was evident that Seung-joo had also left the house after that day. Because the gimbap lunchbox that he had brought to the company for Eun-seo on that day was left untouched on the veranda, frozen stiff in the biting cold.
‘Then, does that mean the day he kissed me is when the memories returned?’
There was no room for doubt after facing the reality. There was no need to contemplate whether the memories had returned or not. That was simply ‘Kwon Seung-joo.’
Although she had thought his acting skills were impressive before, seeing the reality made her realize once again that acting was just acting.
‘Then what about the memories during that time?’
Of course, if there were memories, they must have kissed. Eun-seo could figure that much out. However, that alone did not explain everything.
A year and a month later, when Eun-seo said she would accept his heart when he turned mentally over twenty, Seung-joo had agreed without saying a word. However, as if he were in a hurry, he also asked:
[If my memories return before that, I won’t have to wait a year, right?]Since it happened as she wished, he should have rushed over and suggested they start dating immediately.
However, he didn’t contact her for over a week. Even when they met at the company and exchanged greetings, he said nothing.
Gradually, anxiety built up.
Did he remember but lose his affection for her?
‘Then why the kiss in the first place?’
Her head hurt. Judging by the fact that he was thinking about something incomprehensible, Kwon Seung-joo was undoubtedly Kwon Seung-joo.
It was the same before. So aggressively dominating and, at the crucial moment, pushing me away and crashing into another man.
Not contacting me for over a week, suddenly giving me a kiss as if trying to swallow me whole, and then asking angrily if he was disliked.
Thinking about the unknown man’s feelings, Eun-seo couldn’t sleep properly that night.
But no matter how much she thought about it, there was nothing she could understand.
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.
