“Hey, it’s been a while. Tae Beom.”
It was Tae Beom’s first official day at work, so he visited the vice president’s office.
As if he had been waiting, Ji Seok quickly rose to greet his cousin.
“You look good. Even more robust than when you were in Korea. You’ve been well, haven’t you?”
When Ji Seok heartily asked after him, Tae Beom just slightly nodded his head.
Ji Seok, who had gestured him to sit on the sofa, took his own seat. As Tae Beom followed suit, Ji Seok looked closely at his younger cousin’s face with a content expression.
“Tae Beom, when was the last time we saw each other? Has it been about three years? Well, that doesn’t matter.”
Ji Seok, who had made a connection to the secretary’s office, ordered tea to be brought in. Then, straightening his body, Ji Seok crossed his legs.
Tae Beom surveyed the interior of the vice president’s office with an expressionless gaze. Just as it reflected Ji Seok’s competitive spirit from his childhood, it was filled with highpriced art pieces.
Following Tae Beom’s gaze around the office, Ji Seok let out a laugh. Just then, the tea arrived, and Ji Seok took a sip.
“You came back at a really tough time for the market. It’s very unstable.”
“When has it ever been good? It’s always like that.”
“Right you are. But the situation is particularly bad right now. I’m struggling to feed my employees.”
Hearing his overt complaints, Tae Beom raised an eyebrow.
“You have it tough.”
“What can I do? Everyone is looking at me. I have to do it.”
Ji Seok’s attitude and heart were already in the role of a chairman.
“Once you actually start managing, it will be even harder, so you might as well enjoy the current situation.”
There was a silent pressure indicating that he should not covet the chairman’s position since it was his.
Tae Beom quietly sipped his tea. When Tae Beom suddenly left Korea five years ago, Ji Seok was the one who sent him off with the most sincerity.
Ji Seok had never tried to stop him. He also never asked when he would return.
“So why did you suddenly come back?”
It was the same question his grandfather had asked.
As he asked, the sound of a tea cup being placed down was heard. Tae Beom, who had been looking at a famous painting hanging on the opposite wall, moved only his lips.
“I came because it was time.”
There was a moment of silence. What did it mean to say it was time to return? Ji Seok briefly contemplated this.
Then Ji Seok, who had coughed heavily, soon laughed. He sat back in his chair and began to twiddle his thumbs.
“That’s right. It was time for you to return. It’s not good to live abroad for too long.”
Despite meeting for the first time in five years, there wasn’t much to say.
Tae Beom looked at his wristwatch. There were many things to attend to, given that it was his first day at work.
“Are you busy?”
When Ji Seok asked, Tae Beom nodded.
“I’ll visit often. Let’s have a meal sometime.”
“Sure, come up anytime. We have a lot to talk about.”
Ji Seok was the first to stand. He looked at Tae Beom, who was standing up following him, with a proud glance before tapping his shoulder.
“You coming back is a great help. You know, I’ve waited for you a lot.”
“I should go.”
“Okay.”
After a light greeting, Tae Beom stopped and turned around. Then, Ji Seok raised his eyebrows.
“Why? Have something more to say?”
Wondering whether to bring up Hye Won’s story or not, Tae Beom finally smiled faintly.
“No, I’ll go.”
“Okay. Take care, Tae Beom. See you at the executive inauguration ceremony.”
Ji Seok, who had received Hye Won’s diligent report over the weekend, raised his hand and smiled.
Yoon Hye Won. Yoon Hye Won.
Returning to his office, Tae Beom opened Hye Won’s work evaluation.
However, that was only for a moment, he skimmed through the evaluation with a dull expression and then closed it.
There was nothing particularly to criticize, but there was also no particularly notable section. He thought that if there was any issue to be focused on, it would have been deleted in Ji Seok’s review.
As expected, the fact that Hye Won received a scholarship from Yuseon Airlines was deleted afterwards.
“It bothers me. It bothers me a lot.”
It was a very ordinary resume, a report.
The fact that he couldn’t find any peculiarity was more annoying.
Between her neat and chic attire, her white face always stood out. Her slender arms and neck accentuated her delicate image.
The slight tension veiling her youthful eyes was fully felt.
It’s much more difficult to change the look in one’s eyes than to lift the corners of one’s mouth. Tae Beom trusted more the look that was closer to one’s nature rather than a contrived expression.
So, Yoon Hye Won was always wearing a fake smile.
“With such clumsy acting, who are you trying to deceive?”
There was no way to suppress the absurdity, and a low sigh burst out. Without any warning, the door opened and Yang Hoon entered.
Tae Beom closed Hye Won’s report and looked up.
“Did you greet my brother well?”
“Soso.”
Yang Hoon walked to Tae Beom’s desk.
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.
