Yoon was about to leave the classroom after finishing her call with Kang Hyun. Yeong Hoon was standing outside her classroom door.
Yoon glanced at him once and left the classroom without saying a word.
“Um……”
Watching Yoon’s retreating figure in a daze, Yeong Hoon reluctantly turned on his heels. However, Shin Joo was glaring at him from the opposite hallway.
“Yeong Hoon, what are you doing?”
Shin Joo’s eyes narrowed into triangles.
“What?”
“What were you two doing?”
As Shin Joo approached Yeong Hoon, he hesitated and took a step back.
“We didn’t do anything.”
“Don’t play dumb, just tell me straight.”
Finally, as Shin Joo came right up to his nose and glared at him with those triangular eyes again, Yeong Hoon unknowingly started to babble.
“Well, just… I mean, Yoon is my junior, so I was just worried and tried to have a chat. I was wondering if she was meeting any weird guys because of me.”
Yeong Hoon’s gaze kept dropping to the floor of the hallway.
“Oh my, is that so? Well, that could be the case. I misunderstood, thinking you might have feelings for Teacher Seo again. Teacher Seo has been quite sophisticated these days. You really like sophisticated things.”
“No… what do you mean…”
Yeong Hoon lifted his head.
“Well, it couldn’t be. No matter how sophisticated, there is a thing called level. You said it yourself. It was hard because Teacher Seo wasn’t on the same level as you. That’s why you broke up with her.”
“……”
Yeong Hoon, left without a reply to Shin Joo’s words, stared at the floor again.
“How about we have a nice chat somewhere after we finish today? We haven’t talked for a while, right?”
Shin Joo lifted his face to forcibly meet his eyes and spoke.
“That… sounds good.”
Reluctantly, Yeong Hoon nodded. Just thinking about having a conversation with Shin Joo after finishing the night duty supervision was already making him feel tired.
Shin Joo, seeing this, grabbed his arm as if to take him into custody and started muttering to herself inside.
‘I need to break up with this guy. Why is he so indecisive! But what should I tell people? Public relationships are a nogo after all.’
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Shin Joo’s mind.
‘What if I use Seo Yoon?’
A sly smile crept onto Shin Joo’s lips.
Packing her bag and stepping out of the school gate, Yoon spotted Kang Hyun’s car already waiting for her, and she ran towards it.
“Did you wait long?”
As she got into the car, Kang Hyun fastened her seat belt.
“Why are you running? You’ll get tired.”
“Why didn’t you rest instead of coming here?”
Yoon said, catching her breath.
“Do you dislike me coming here?”
“No, I love it, but I was worried you might be tired, Kang Hyun.”
Yoon smiled warmly.
“Why are you saying such pretty things today?”
Kang Hyun kissed Yoon’s lips lightly.
“If only this wasn’t in front of the school.”
Kang Hyun regretted the short kiss.
“……”
Seeing Yoon’s face flush, Kang Hyun chuckled and lightly tapped her cheek.
“Let’s go eat dinner.”
“Do you have time?”
“No.”
Kang Hyun laughed. Where could he have the time? He had squeezed nonexistent time to see Yoon. The old Kang Hyun who despised bothersome things could never have imagined such a thing.
“I made nonexistent time to see you.”
“Really?”
Truth be told, Yoon had also wanted to see him all day, her heart boiling over his scandalous news articles.
“I wanted to see you too.”
Yoon mustered the courage to say. She put her hand to her burning cheek.
“What did you say?”
“……”
“I didn’t hear well. Could you say it again, louder? What did you say?”
Kang Hyun teased her, leaning his ear towards her with a playful grin.
“You’re driving.”
“Driving isn’t done with the ears. I want to hear it again.”
Kang Hyun seemed determined to hear it again, continually holding one hand to his ear.
“I wanted to see you, Kang Hyun.”
Yoon whispered softly into his ear.
“I wanted to see you too.”
When the signal changed, Kang Hyun too whispered softly into her ear. Yoon giggled and squirmed, finding it ticklish.
“Kang Hyun, today must have been tough for you? The content of the articles was so unfair, it even frustrated me.”
“Well, it’s not that bad. I mean, since it’s been mentioned, should I just reveal everything?”
That way, those useless guys wouldn’t be able to waste their energy. Kang Hyun was continuously bothered by that handsome teacher. But there was a good chance that there were more than one or two of those types around.
“If you really have to……”
Yoon hesitated.
“Why, you don’t want to?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to, but my contract at the school ends in a few months, so I thought it’d be okay to stay until then.”
“How about you just quit your school now? Yes, that would be better. Why bother to continue, fretting and worrying? There’s not much time left for the exams. How about focusing solely on studying at home?”
At this opportunity, Kang Hyun wanted to bring Yoon home. There were too many pests outside.
“Huh?”
“I haven’t revealed your information for now, but the reporters might find out soon.”
“……”
“Don’t you like it?”
Kang Hyun asked, looking at Yoon who did not respond.
“It’s just that, unless Kang Hyun is in a really difficult situation, I would like to finish my planned term.”
Now that Kang Hyun’s scandal had settled down, Yoon wanted to complete the few months left.
“They’ll find another teacher.”
“Of course, we can find another teacher, but when I think about the students I’m teaching, changing teachers in the middle might not be a good idea. If the reporters do find out, can’t we just think about that when it happens? I don’t think we need to worry ahead of time.”
Yoon carefully continued her words.
“Then don’t spill your coffee.”
Kang Hyun, who was particularly weak to Yoon’s soft voice, unquestionably crumbled.
“I was a bit greedy with my studies at the time, but I’ll be fine as long as I manage my condition properly from now on. It’s a bit tough, but I can handle this much. Everyone does.”
Yoon responded calmly.
“Then, how about taking the exam next year? There’s no need to push yourself so hard when no one is recognizing your efforts.”
Kang Hyun felt sorry for her struggles.
“I’m doing this more for myself than for recognition. And I won’t push myself to the point of spilling coffee anymore.”
Yoon smiled softly. She remembered Kang Hyun, who was flustered and didn’t know what to do when he saw her spill coffee.
The thought of having Kang Hyun, in addition to Hosik and Oksun, genuinely worried about her made her feel suddenly stronger.
“Why do you want to be a teacher so much? Is it because it was your grandmother’s dream?”
Kang Hyun wished she could live a little more comfortably.
“There’s that, but it’s also a goal I’ve been aiming for years, so I want to achieve it.”
Her kind eyes revealed a strong determination.
“You don’t have to achieve it this year, so don’t overwork yourself.”
“But there’s no such thing as succeeding in anything if done halfheartedly. If you don’t give your best, nothing works out.”
“Are you worried they won’t see you as a teacher? I’m teaching you right now, aren’t I?”
Kang Hyun smirked.
“Well, that’s just how it is.”
“Got it.”
“Thank you for understanding.”
When Yoon squinted her eyes and smiled beautifully, Kang Hyun couldn’t help but clutch his heart.
“Are you trying to seduce me right now?”
“Huh?”
“Be careful. You might get bitten.”

Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
