“Our Team Leader’s ex-lover is Pianist Oh Sejin?”
“Yes, I was so shocked when I found out.”
“That’s why she seemed a bit stiff lately.”
Manager Jung seemed to have resolved a lingering doubt, as if the last piece of the puzzle had just clicked into place.
To Jung, Yura usually appeared somewhat cold, but she always greeted performers with a soft smile. However, since Sejin’s first appearance, Yura’s expression had been noticeably off, leading Jung to pay close attention to their interactions.
“Now that I know, it makes sense why Team Leader Jin looked so displeased.”
“Even with the most difficult artists, it was the first time I saw her with such a hardened expression,” added Jihye, to which Jung felt even more concerned, knowing Yura’s usual professionalism.
“Will this performance be okay?”
This worry, common to everyone, surfaced through Jihye’s words. A moment of silence fell in the office, but it was quickly broken by Seonghoon’s dismissive hand wave.
“What are you talking about? Our Team Leader has overcome many difficult artists.”
“But an ex-boyfriend is different from just a difficult artist.”
“They’re both troublemakers in the end.”
Seonghoon and Eunyoung continued their conversation as if defining what constitutes a troublemaker. Manager Jung, listening calmly, agreed with their views.
“Why do you think they broke up?”
Jihye’s question cut through Jung’s thoughts. She was always particularly curious about Yura. Today was no exception.
“People in relationships break up for various reasons.”
“Yeah, Team Leader Jin deserves better now.”
“Of course. She’s excellent in both ability and looks.”
Everyone expressed their pride in Yura as if protecting their own. Anyone who had worked with Yura would agree.
Yura was always meticulous and clear in her work, with visible results. She never got angry over trivial matters related to work. Conversely, in personal matters, she was known for her thoughtful and detailed approach.
Not only that, she was a type who matched rewards with performance, never neglecting anyone she had worked with, even part-timers or freelancers.
That’s why there was a saying: you might find people who haven’t worked in a Jin Yura-led performance, but no one who’s only done it once.
As the employees continued to chat about Yura and Sejin, Manager Jung’s phone rang, putting an end to the casual conversation.
Yu Gun frowned deeply, staring into space.
He had wanted to give Yura a heads-up about their father setting up blind dates for her. But unable to reach her and frustrated by this, he was further agitated upon hearing unsettling news.
Oh Sejin, unexpectedly returning and hovering around Yura, was already displeasing, but his attempts to entangle himself in her personal life were testing Yu Gun’s patience to the limit.
With his patience quickly running out, Yu Gun decided he could no longer leave the matter to Yura alone and summoned Secretary Park.
“Secretary Park.”
“Yes?”
“Investigate Oh Sejin for me.”
Ever since his sister broke up with her lover years ago, Yu Gun had periodically directed investigations into Yura’s surroundings. The main focus of these instructions was the existence of Oh Sejin. Recently, he had been informed of Sejin’s arrival in Korea and encountering Jin Yura.
“Are you referring to Pianist Oh Sejin, whom I reported about earlier?”
“Yes.”
“What specific information are you looking for?”
“Everything you can find out. Preferably private and discreet details.”
“Understood.”
Yu Gun then added another request.
“Also, find out the current location of Director Baek from Songrim.”
“Alright.”
Secretary Park, understanding the obvious connection, accepted the order without further questions. Suddenly, there was a knock, and a familiar figure appeared at the office door.
“Am I intruding on a conversation I shouldn’t hear?”
With sharp eyes casting a glance at both men, the newcomer was Yu Gun’s close friend, Baek Yi Hyun, Vice President of CH Group.
“Hello?”
“Should I wait outside?”
“No, you can leave, Secretary Park.”
Secretary Park, rarely visiting the company, easily guessed the reason for Baek’s unexpected visit. Personal meetings between the two usually took place at the luxurious bar of Hotel Grand Garden, a CH affiliate. Hence, encounters at the company were exceedingly rare.
This sudden visit without appointment had one clear reason: an issue related to Yu Gun’s younger sister, Jin Yura. Having just received instructions about her from Yu Gun, Secretary Park was sure this meeting was about Yura.
As Secretary Park respectfully exited, leaving the two men alone, there was silence, indicating the conversation was not meant for others.
Once Yura and Sejin were seated in the driver and passenger seats, Yura preemptively set boundaries in a formal tone.
“I’m sorry, but I’d prefer a quiet ride. I get sensitive when I drive.”
“Understood.”
Sejin’s demeanor had changed from earlier; during the ride to the practice studio, he remained silent, gazing out of the window.
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.
