The original Korean paragraph contains 33 lines. Here is the verbatim English translation, maintaining the same number of lines:
Since becoming independent, Lee Soo had been going to his family home every Saturday, staying over, and returning home after breakfast on Sunday. This was the routine every week, except for the day he went on the MT (membership training). But this week, he decided to go on Sunday evening instead, as his brother Won Jin was attending a seminar in Jeju Island and would return Sunday afternoon.
It was a leisurely Saturday at home, watching movies alone, when he received a late-night call from Aera.
“Hello. Aera?”
[Hey Soo, it’s an emergency! Sorry to bother you, but you’re the only one I can think of who can help!]Right after the call connected, Aera spoke faster than usual.
“What are you talking about? Make it clear.”
[There’s something I really need you to do…]“What is it?”
Lee Soo had a feeling it wouldn’t be an easy favor, judging by the long introduction. He paused the TV, expecting a lengthy call.
“Yeah.”
[A friend who was supposed to work with me had a traffic accident today. It’s not serious, but they have to be hospitalized and can’t come tomorrow.]“So you want me to be their substitute?”
Lee Soo’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
To be asked to substitute for a part-time job on his relaxing Sunday at home…
He sighed, feeling he would end up agreeing.
[Yeah. Please, I’m begging. You’ll do it, right?]“Why should I substitute for your friend?”
[Because you’re my friend too. Haha.]
That was persuasion without logic. Calling at night like this meant she was desperate and had no other options.
[I can’t ask someone who’s sick to find a substitute. If I cancel, I won’t be able to work this part-time job again. The team leader will be upset.]“…”
[I promise it’s easy and pays well. It’s a coveted job that many people want.]“Then there must be plenty of others who can do it.”
Lee Soo was tempted to find a way out.
[That’s true, but the event is conducted 100% in English. We need someone fluent in conversational English. That’s why I thought of you. If it weren’t for that requirement, I would have found someone by now.]Lee Soo had enough English proficiency to work in an international conference interpreting service.
Although this part-time job didn’t require such high skills, Aera immediately thought of him upon hearing her friend’s accident. With his neat appearance, sharp personality, and punctuality, Lee Soo was the perfect candidate.
“Alright, I’ll do it. See you tomorrow.”
Aera’s relieved voice and cheerful laughter came through the phone.
“Text me the place and time.”
[Got it. See you tomorrow, Soo.]Lee Soo felt like he had been struck by lightning in the middle of the night.
[Star icon][Star icon]Waking up to his phone alarm, Lee Soo opened his eyes.
Waking up at 6 a.m. on a Sunday.
Shaking off his drowsiness, he had a slice of rye bread for breakfast and left the house in a neat suit.
“Hey, Soo!”
“You arrived just on time.”
Waiting for about ten minutes, Lee Soo lightly rolled his eyes as he saw Aera rushing towards him.
“I’m not late, am I? Let’s go in quickly.”
The venue for the academic conference was in the same building as the restaurant he had recently visited with Ji Ho.
The working environment was pleasingly comfortable.
After a simple briefing, the conference schedule started at 8 AM.
The work was not difficult.
The main task was simple registration at the entrance booth and providing guidance on the event’s progress to the attendees.
“How is it? Manageable?” Aera asked, taking advantage of a quieter moment.
“Yeah, it’s less difficult than I thought.”
Being constantly with Aera, Lee Soo hardly felt like she was working.
Without any previous part-time job experience, this was a new experience for her.
Interacting with people all morning, the time flew by rapidly.
“Lee Soo, let’s go for lunch. I’ll treat you to something delicious.”
“Sounds good.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon]Yeonsoo, who arrived in Seoul yesterday, spent the night at Jiho’s house and came out with him the next day to meet Soomin for lunch.
Yeonsoo got into the passenger seat, and Jiho took the driver’s seat.
“Mom, aren’t you tired?”
“I’m fine. It feels great to be back after so long. I’m excited to meet friends.”
Yeonsoo had come to Korea suddenly due to a contract issue with selling her Jeju villa.
Last summer, she stayed leisurely for about two weeks, but this time, she briefly stopped in Seoul on her way to Jeju.
“But did you make the restaurant reservation, Mom?”
The restaurant where Yeonsoo was to meet Soomin was the same place Jiho and Lee Soo had their first date.
It was a popular proposal spot among young people, but it was too new for Yeonsoo to know about.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:

Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
