Past midnight,
Chae Seo Rin, who was sitting alone on the bed, opened her eyes at the sound of the doorbell ringing late at night.
“What now, again?”
She really liked the luxury mansion that Ji Han had gotten for her.
However, occasionally, like today, she would get annoyed when her drunken neighbor rang the doorbell.
“As if I wasn’t irritated enough!”
Chae Seo Rin, who hadn’t been able to sleep since she couldn’t reach Ji Han after he attended the shareholders’ meeting, was sitting there.
She threw her cellphone nervously.
The fact that her neighbor was getting on her nerves in the middle of all this was extremely unpleasant.
And as the doorbell rang again, Chae Seo Rin got up.
“I’m coming, I’m coming! I should move or something.”
As she walked to the living room, she checked the intercom and was shocked.
Forgetting that she was wearing a slip, she headed to the entrance.
“Ji Han!”
The person who had come was none other than Ji Han.
“Why didn’t you answer your phone today?”
“…Wait a moment, step aside.”
Ji Han, who hadn’t been in contact all day, was standing right in front of her.
As he mumbled a reply and bent his body, the strong smell of alcohol wafted up.
“Did you drink?”
“A little.”
Ji Han, who had been staring at her intently, nodded his head slightly.
Then he went inside the house first.
Ji Han, who had headed to the living room first, was sitting deep in the sofa.
Despite the considerable distance between them, the smell of alcohol was still permeating her nostrils.
“Tsk. Doesn’t seem like you drank just a little.”
Looking at Ji Han, who was covering his eyes with his arm and lying down, it was clear that something bad had happened at the shareholders’ meeting.
Even with Chae Seo Rin’s sharp voice, he didn’t move at all.
“I said we should drink together if something bothers you…”
Chae Seo Rin placed a bottle of water in front of him.
Only then did Ji Han remove his arm covering his eyes and meet her gaze.
“Drink this for now. The tea will be ready soon.”
He sat up and drank the water in one gulp.
Still not seeming satisfied, he threw the empty plastic bottle on the floor.
“Ah!”
Startled by the sound of the plastic bottle hitting the floor, Chae Seo Rin turned to him.
The atmosphere froze like an ice rink in an instant.
“She already knew.”
“…Huh?”
“She knew about the relationship between you and me.”
“Is that even possible? Yeo Jin knew?”
With a shocked expression, she covered her mouth and asked with a trembling voice.
Instead of answering, he dumped the photos from the document envelope onto the table.
“What is all this…?”
Chae Seo Rin approached and picked up the top photo with her shaking hand.
Blatant evidence of their secret affair was captured in the photos.
They were the photos Yeo Jin had thrown at Ji Han.
“At the shareholders’ meeting, Yeo Jin nominated Seo Jae Ha as a professional manager.”
“That person, isn’t he your brother?”
“Yes. He’s the eldest son of the Hojin Group and my half-brother.”
Listening to Ji Han’s words, Chae Seo Rin looked through the photos one by one and sank down next to the table.
She was more convinced by the sight of him losing his composure, unlike his usual self.
Silence settled between them.
“She pretended not to know even though she knew we were seeing each other. It’s so creepy.”
At the end of a brief silence, her trembling voice echoed through the living room.
“It doesn’t seem like the sister I knew. Right? She’s changed so much, even at the hotel.”
Wrapping her arms around herself as if she was cold, she sought an answer from Ji Han.
“How could Yeo Jin give the management rights to CEO Seo Jae Ha instead of you? It’s too much. They were engaged!”
“…”
“How could she, when you were supposed to be her husband…”
At Chae Seo Rin’s words, he let out a deep breath.
“Our engagement was broken today.”
He replied curtly to Chae Seo Rin as he pressed his temple as if it hurt.
Surprised by his words about the broken engagement, she sat up.
“She said we should break up.”
She swallowed her breath, forgetting even to speak.
Then she covered her face with her trembling hands.
Chae Seo Rin couldn’t breathe in surprise. A breakup, they had broken up.
If Ji Han hadn’t been in front of her, she might have let out a cheer of joy.
In that brief moment, she even thought that becoming the mistress of Hojin Group, which she had only dreamed of, was not entirely impossible.
But soon, she lowered her head.
It was not the time yet.
Despite the joy that rose throughout her body, she wiped the smile off her lips.
“Yeo Jin said she would participate in the anchor audition.”
“…”
“I called to talk about such trivial things. Seeing you now, I must have been so thoughtless. You must have been struggling.”
She leaned on Ji Han’s shoulder and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Listening to Chae Seo Rin’s steady breathing with his eyes closed, he suddenly pulled her arms down.
“She applied for the public audition?”
“Yes… I heard she already applied.”
Suddenly, Ji Han’s eyes sparkled.
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.
