It was truly strange as Hyunsoo described it. It was mysterious and similar to tension and excitement, but it was a tender emotion that couldn’t be explained by those feelings alone. Because of that, I choked up a bit inappropriately.
“Yeah, thinking about it, it’s like that again. By the way, Haru, didn’t you and Director Kim each write a separate script?”
“Huh? Oh, yeah.”
“Well, it’s a bit like that.”
“Huh?”
“For example, the scenery you look at alone, Haru, can’t become the whole in itself. Inevitably, there will be blind spots that your perspective can’t reach. Of course, that would be the same for Director Kim’s perspective.”
Now, Jeongeun seemed to be testing the waters with what she said. It was unclear what she was trying to convey. It felt awkwardly nodded up and down.
“But if you and Director Kim write separate scripts, then all those blind spots disappear, right?”
“Hey, Jeongeun noona. It’s hard to believe there were blind spots. We saw each other every day in the house where I stayed. Except for sleeping hours, there wasn’t really any time like that. And we only spent a month together, too.”
Jeongeun tilted her head as if she didn’t know anything.
“Hyunsoo, you left the almond chocolate box on the desk earlier. Do you know how many are left now?”
“Huh? Chocolate? Well… I did open it and had a few earlier, but I’m not sure about the exact number…”
“I secretly took a few while passing by your seat earlier. I left one out of courtesy, but you didn’t notice until now?”
“Wow… leaving one out of courtesy, and you ate so ignorantly, yet you’re so confident…”
“That’s not the point.”
Hyunsoo, who was now babbling about how crucial it was, was disregarded by Jeongeun, who turned her attention away.
“See, blind spots. No matter how much time we spend together all day long, they can still occur. It wouldn’t be an exception for Haru and Director Kim’s case either.”
At that moment, Mijeong, who had been glancing back and forth at Jeongeun and Hyunsoo, shyly smiled and spoke.
“In fact, I’m also a fan of Director Kim. I was deeply impressed by ‘the train.’ And since I’m twenty years old, the word ‘first love’ itself seems to resonate with me, especially with the excitement it brings. Oh, but that’s not important right now.”
Looking at the awkwardly charming Mijeong, Jeongeun smiled and said that it didn’t have to be an important story. At that single smile, Mijeong’s somewhat rigid smile softened, and she spoke.
“So I’ve been thinking a bit. If this time, the perspective of this author is added to Director Kim’s first love story. So, if a truly clear first love story without any blind spots is captured in the footage. Regardless of the ending of that story, I think we can believe in the sincerity of those who fell in love. At least, in the sincerity of the moment they loved each other.”
The sincerity of the moment they loved each other…
These eleven characters, like droplets forming on leaves, fell down in unison, producing a clear sound in my heart. That gentle resonance lingered as an aftertaste in my chest.
“In fact, I…”
Knock, knock. Without waiting for the next moment of silence after the knock, the door swung open. It was opened with a loud creak, as if forgetting that knocking was an act of asking permission to enter. There was no time for any of us to respond that someone should come in.
So, my clear expectation that it must be Director Kang was exactly right.
“Ah, everyone’s gathered.”
About five minutes past the scheduled meeting time. However, before greeting Director Kang, my eyes were following what was behind him. In anticipation that Jun might come in after him.
The door was open, but no one followed. As I was about to turn my head, thinking that he might not come yet, the door swung open without any waiting.
Certainly, my expectation that it must be Director Kang was exactly right.
The door is open, but no one is coming in. Seeing no sign, at the moment when I was about to turn my head, my heart reacted first.
Jun, dressed in a grey suit pants and a shirt just like the one he wore when he visited our house yesterday, appeared with a richer-looking hairstyle than usual. To hide the smile that was about to emerge, I bit my lower lip.
Even a director with Jun’s level of fame seemed uncomfortable in such situations. Moreover, considering Jun’s personality, who wasn’t particularly fond of taking the lead, it was even more evident. He made an effort to ignore the gazes that clearly focused on me.
Unable to help it, my gaze went to Jun, who walked into the meeting room with a somewhat stiff expression. Since there were people around, I thought he would just pass by. Of course, Jun didn’t meet my eyes as he approached, and just as he passed by my seat, he started looking at me.
He hesitated for a moment, as if presenting it to a colleague. Along with that, Jun’s mouth, which was slightly raised, was visible as he bowed.
Without a moment to catch my breath, Jun immediately picked up the materials that were right on my seat and began flipping through them. I couldn’t help but watch silently, finding your concentrated appearance quite cool.
“This author?”
“Ah, yeah. Mijeong.”
I barely came to my senses at Mijeong’s voice right next to me. Jun, who heard the sound, raised his head and looked at me. For a moment of embarrassment, Mijeong spoke with a puzzled voice.
“I, um, choose the coffee…”
“Iharyu, if you don’t want to drink, don’t. Don’t make the intern suffer for no reason.”
Jeongeun handed an Americano to Mijeong without much concern and said in a casual tone. Seeing the corners of her mouth lifting, it seemed she had been watching me absentmindedly while I was busy looking at Jun. Annoying.
“This author likes sweet things.”
Jun, who had been looking at me instead of the materials across from him, added.
“Ah, Director Kim, would you like to choose too?”
Mijeong, a fan of Jun, offered him coffee with a shy smile. Probably because Jun was intensely focusing on the materials, he couldn’t bring himself to speak hastily.
Jun, raising his fingers to his lips, pondered for a moment and replied in a cheerful voice.
“I had a lot of sweets late last night. I’ll go with Americano.”
Sweets…
Jun, who received a deep black coffee that was brewing around the cap, looked at me with a subtle smile.
And at that moment, memories of last night, when I first touched Jun’s lips, vividly came back to me. Afraid of revealing the warmth spreading from the earlobes, I covered my ears with both hands.
Taking a sip of the Americano in his hand, Jun glanced at me with a teasing smile.
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.
