It seemed like Yura was recalling that moment, her cheeks blushing and the corners of her mouth curling.
The first kiss with Yura had lasted for more than 30 minutes.
Fortunately, Yura covered for her, so Jina received absolution, but it was an unexpectedly long first kiss.
“The safest man on Earth to trust a drunken friend with,” what kind of statement is that?
Seongjun’s face turned hot.
Jaein, who knew nothing about the inside, smiled and delivered her farewell.
“Director Kim, then please take care of Yura today as well. Safely!”
Perhaps…
Is this a warning not to change your mind right now?
“…Of course. Safely!”
Awkwardly playing along with Seongjun, Dohyuk made eye contact with Dohyeok.
Hmm.
Dohyeok, who had been staring intently with narrow eyes, lifted the corners of his mouth as if he understood something.
In an instant, a bead of cold sweat trickled down Seongjun’s forehead.
‘Am I caught right now?’
That night.
At the luxurious dining bar of Hotel Sky Lounge, the year-end party of conglomerate families was in full swing.
Amid the lively music, elegantly dressed young people gathered in groups, reveling in the excitement.
Sejeong, sitting at the bar table, emptied her cocktail glass with a stiff expression.
Friend Minhye approached, swaying as she pulled out a precarious pack of cigarettes.
“Sejeong, what are you doing here? Why don’t you join us and have fun?”
“I’m done. Play among yourselves.”
“No, you have to. There’s a commotion over there, asking you to come quickly.”
Sejeong turned her head toward the direction Minhye’s finger pointed.
When she looked, the faces of the men sitting at the table turned pale.
‘They’re all unremarkable guys.’
Sejeong snorted and said, “Done. Minhye, have fun with yourselves.”
“Don’t say that. Come on, let’s go. Huh?”
“I said it’s done!”
Sejeong unknowingly raised her voice in irritation.
Startled, Minhye apologized, “Sorry.”
“No, my head really hurts. Sorry, let’s talk later.”
Conscious of the many eyes around her, Sejeong pacified Minhye.
The headache wasn’t a lie.
Alone again, Sejeong chewed her lips, pondering the scene she had witnessed a few hours ago at Hanse Hospital.
‘Cha Dohyuk, shouting that he has no intention of getting married, was with another woman?’
Before coming to the year-end party, Sejeong had gone to Hanse Hospital for her grandmother’s get-well visit.
There, she saw Dohyuk with another woman and quickly hid herself.
While Dohyuk had been icy towards her, he was brightly smiling at the other woman.
Watching that scene, she felt not only anger but also shame beyond resentment.
‘The woman next to Cha Dohyuk… was undoubtedly the one I saw at the rest area last time.’
A colleague who had gone on a business trip with Dohyuk.
An existence so inconspicuous that she didn’t leave any lasting impression.
Even though Sejeong seemed to have nothing outstanding compared to herself.
But still, that woman subtly caught her attention.
‘Was a business trip just an excuse? Then, did he miss the party on Christmas Eve because of a business trip?’
Intuition was saying so.
Holding a shattered glass, Sejeong’s hand trembled.
‘Cha Dohyuk, are you seriously giving me a hard time because of that woman?’
A deep scratch was made on Sejeong’s proud self-esteem.
Although Dohyuk was cold, she had thought that he would have no choice since the family was going through a lawsuit.
Considering that Sejeong was unmarried, and she also met men occasionally, she could tolerate him having one enjoyable woman.
However, the atmosphere between Dohyuk and the woman he was with looked like a couple deeply in love.
‘If it’s like that, it’s problematic…’
Suddenly, Minhye, who saw that woman with Dohyuk at the rest area, bothered her.
“Who was the woman next to you? When I first saw her, she looked so affectionate that I thought you two were dating.”
Although she warned her not to say unnecessary things, Minhye might gossip about this behind her back.
If the marriage consultation falls through, she’ll be ridiculed for being dumped by Dohyuk because of a trivial woman.
‘Is this going to end up as a disgrace? Darn!’
The problem was not only that.
During the Christmas Eve party at Seojin Mulsan Corporation, Chairman Yoon Munsik expressed his intention to meet Dohyuk.
So, the next weekend, there was a promise that Sejeong’s entire family would visit Chairman Cha Daesan’s residence.
What if, on that day, Dohyuk confesses that he won’t marry because there’s another woman?
Just thinking about such an embarrassing incident happening in front of both families was horrifying.
The best scenario was to quietly separate that woman from Dohyuk and proceed with the marriage as planned.
‘I have to find a way somehow…’
Frustrated Sejeong emptied her cocktail in one gulp and placed the glass down with a clink.
At that moment, a man sat next to her and struck up a conversation.
“Is this who I think it is? Isn’t it the sophisticated Yoon Sejeong?”
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.
