Plop. Plop.
As if intentionally planned, rain poured from the morning. Haeyeon, who was preparing a simple breakfast in the kitchen, greeted Doha with a bright smile that didn’t match the rain when he came out after a shower.
“Good morning, Mr. Doha.”
“Why are you making something from morning? It’s tiring.”
Doha, who approached behind Haeyeon, gave her a back hug. Haeyeon felt a familiar herbal scent from him, who had just finished showering, and it brought her a sense of calm.
“Is it because of the party yesterday? Ah, it’s okay.”
Waving her hand, Haeyeon turned her head with a big smile. Although she felt a bit tired from wearing uncomfortable clothes all day, even that fatigue disappeared when she saw Doha.
“I’m not tired at all from sleeping well.”
“But you don’t need to do this. You won’t die if you miss one meal in the morning.”
Huh? Before Haeyeon could say anything, Doha, who untied his arms wrapped around her waist, turned her body around, making eye contact with her. He took the cooking utensils from her hand. Haeyeon responded with gentle laughter in the rippling waves of her eyes.
“People won’t die from missing one meal, you know? But since I made it, I have to eat it.”
Despite Doha’s stubbornness, Haeyeon, who didn’t yield, subtly took back the cooking utensils, and Doha, without even trying to exert force, let her take it away. She smiled mischievously, wondering how she would be treated.
“Haeyeon, what you just did was cheating.”
“Oh, really? I’m sorry.”
Haeyeon shook her shoulders nonchalantly. Her actions, which showed no intention of giving up on cooking, eventually made Doha give up on stopping her.
“Okay, I got it. I’ll give up.”
“Really?”
Smiling brightly, Haeyeon, who embraced Doha’s waist and pressed her cheek against his chest, looked as if she had a sense of duty to eat as if she had to.
“All right.” Haeyeon, who was muttering with her lips, suddenly remembered something and lifted her cheek.
“Mr. Doha.”
Her upward gaze was incredibly lovely.
“Yes?”
“It’s payday soon. Shall we have a drink on that day?”
It felt like she had just started working at Dahlia Coffee, but the first payday had already arrived. Although there were still many problems in front of them, she wanted to repay those who had helped her and Doha on that day.
“Rather than a meal?”
“Yes, a drink. I’ll invite Jua too. Unfortunately, Miss Dohee is in the U.S., so we can’t invite her.”
Dohee, who had come to Korea briefly for the 60th anniversary of the founding of Gilmyeongje, left for overseas the next day. She seemed so busy. Haeyeon couldn’t help feeling disappointed as she hadn’t had a proper chance to see her off.
I should call her to see if she’s doing well. While anticipating the next meeting with Dohee, Haeyeon decided to take care of the people around her for now. While she was thinking about it, Doha touched her nose with his finger and chuckled softly.
“Let me know in advance on that day. I’ll definitely leave work early.”
“All right.”
As Haeyeon rested in Doha’s arms like a baby bird in its mother’s embrace, he endlessly lowered her.
“…….”.
“…….”.
Without saying a word, Haeyeon looked at Doha with a puzzled expression, blinking her eyes. Eventually, Haeyeon asked what she was curious about.
“Mr. Doha, why?”
When she asked with a slightly bewildered look, the unexpected answer came back.
“…… Just because I like it.”
The sound, somewhat childlike in its quiet tone, made Haeyeon raise her eyebrows slightly, and a gentle laughter followed. Haeyeon laughed lightly, as clear as if she had heard a ‘karrur’ sound.
Leaning against the deep gray fabric sofa, Yoonho looked out the window through the drawn curtains, and it seemed to have been raining all day. In his loosely flowing hand, there was a stack of documents.
Yoonho, in his personal office, had no expression, unlike usual. The face without the trademark smile was so cold that it was difficult to approach, resembling his home.
How many minutes had passed already? Doing nothing, or rather, unable to do anything and letting time pass, the loud ticking of the second hand approached.
Tick-tock.
With the sound, Yoonho tightly closed his eyes.
“Finally, you came.”
The quiet silence, where only the sound of rain was heard, suddenly ended with the unexpected doorbell sound. Rising as if collapsing, Yoonho walked to the entrance and opened the door.
“How long has it been since you came to my house?”
With a unique smile that was unclear when it had been put on, the man, whose face was covered by the large frame at the entrance due to his bulky build, spoke in a low voice.
“Don’t say absurd things, Lee Yoonho.”
“Saying bitter words, Cha Doha.”
Even with Doha’s sharp gaze, Yoonho just shrugged his shoulders once. As they entered the house, Yoonho pointed to the table.
“I set it up the way I wanted.”
On the marble table, there were beer, wine, and snacks like fruits and cheese, all of which were to Doha’s taste, despite Yoonho’s words.
Tak!
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.
