Somin squinted her eyes.
“What are you doing right now?”
Jaerim, conscious of the person behind Somin, approached closely.
“I’m sorry. Just give me a moment.”
Then, leaning in more, he whispered.
“Pretend we’re together. Let’s go inside together. I really wanted to come here. I’ve been saying that.”
“What, where’s your conscience…”
“Where’s the camaraderie? If the roles were reversed, I would’ve called Somin first to come here.”
Talk is cheap.
Somin clenched her fist as if to say, “Do as you wish,” and turned to the front. Jaerim chuckled and checked the time.
“What time did Somin come?”
“About 30 minutes ago.”
“I could have come around that time if I hadn’t gotten lost in the middle. But it’s a bit surprising. Somin doesn’t seem like the type to find a place where you have to wait in line like this.”
“Yeah, I can’t stand that kind of thing. But I’ve been a regular here since it opened. I didn’t come because it became famous; I just kept coming. One day, it became famous without me realizing.”
“Ah.”
Somin sighed deeply.
“Since the owner is doing so well, you have to endure being a regular customer. It was better when it was quiet.”
“I see. But Somin, could you step out here for a moment? I want to take a picture with the sign, but my hair is bothering me.”
Ugh, addicted to pictures and an SNS addict.
Somin took a step aside as she pleased.
“Oh, it looks like they’re about to open the door.”
One employee came out and opened the door, and they entered in order. It wasn’t a spacious place, so Somin and Jaerim’s line ended right behind them.
“Wow, this is amazing. It’s a bit naughty, but isn’t this nice? Just waiting for my turn, or buying something and it sells out right away. Anyway, it’s all thanks to Somin.”
“If you’re thankful, buy me coffee. It must be an Einspanner here.”
Somin ordered without looking at the menu, just like a regular. Jaerim took out his wallet and ordered the same as Somin.
“It smells good. The lighting and music here are nice too.”
Somin, who was vaguely nodding her head, lifted the coffee cup, but Jaerim said, “Uh, wait.”
“We have to take a picture, a photo.”
Somin put down her cup without a word. While observing Jaerim, who was diligently taking pictures from the front, top, and side, Somin opened her mouth.
“If I wait a little longer here and it doesn’t taste as good as I expected, I’ll be angry.”
“Okay, it’s all set! Drink up quickly.”
Somin raised her cup, and Jaerim, putting down his phone, held his cup. The two of them slowly sipped their Einspanner. Even though their preferences were completely opposite, just by looking at each other, they could tell they were about to fight. However, for the first time in a long time, they completely agreed on something.
“Among all the Einspanners I’ve ever had, this is the best.”
“If you say so.”
Somin finished her coffee, and Jaerim, after carefully examining the surroundings, took pictures. Then he handed his phone to Somin.
“Take one for me too.”
Somin took the phone, mechanically pressed the capture button, and Jaerim, posing naturally, took several pictures. He smiled proudly.
“You should upload these kinds of photos so it doesn’t look like you came alone. It’s a strategy to make people curious about who you came with.”
“What kind of strategy is that for showing off?”
Somin absentmindedly replied and then, recalling something, she frowned.
“Don’t tell me it’s that trash from back then?”
“Just, it’s not really targeting anyone. It’s more like a wide-range snipe. It’s not because I have lingering feelings, but I want to appear better off than anyone else, not wanting to lose, something like that.”
“Yes, I’ve heard your verbose explanation.”
“Oh, really.”
Somin leaned back in her chair, holding her cup.
“I read somewhere that flaunting is evidence of deprivation. The part where you constantly flaunt as if telling others is the part where you feel the most inferior and have a sense of inadequacy.”
So, am I blind to feelings of inferiority and inadequacy due to the lack of them, and am I showing off?
Jaerim tightly sealed his lips. Somin no longer paid any attention to Jaerim and took a book out of her bag. Then, she quietly started reading.
Jaerim, who habitually played with his phone, suddenly fixed his gaze on Somin, who was reading. If they were in a place like this, they could at least pretend to chat, but Somin was relentless.
Even if I say I’m bored, saying it out loud probably won’t make a difference.
Thinking such thoughts, Jaerim stared intently at Somin in front of him. Initially, he didn’t think much of it, but for some reason, as he continued to watch, he felt a slightly exciting feeling, making him want to scrutinize everything.
“Did she always look like that?”
She seemed different from when he saw her on “Bida.” She looked like a different person, almost like someone he was seeing for the first time. The clothing, the expressionless face, everything was similar, and the chubby face was the same as usual, but he couldn’t pinpoint why she seemed different.
‘Did she always look like this?’
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.
