“Are you going to keep acting awkward?”
About 30 minutes before lunch, Ji Ho spat out the words he had been holding back all along. It was because Hye Yoon would bury her nose in the script like a test taker as soon as the camera stopped. How could she read anything with those sleepy eyes?
It’s embarrassing to face each other, isn’t it?
“…Did it show again?”
Even the moment she lifted her head seemed to creak. It seemed that she thought she was somewhat natural on her own. Cute.
“Did you plan to pretend it’s not?”
“Heh heh. No.”
“Nothing’s changed. We’re just working like usual, so feel comfortable.”
With her mouth pursed in a small smile, she nodded her head, but again, she casually avoided eye contact. Ji Ho couldn’t help but laugh.
During the shooting that continued from the morning, the two were not much different. As always, Ji Ho took care of Hye Yoon by his side, and although Hye Yoon avoided his eyes a bit, they had light conversations in between.
The only thing that changed was touch. Even at Min Woo’s cut sound, the two were naturally touching, and unlike last week when Ji Ho lightly grabbed her wrist to set her position, this time he wrapped his arm around her shoulder to move Hye Yoon.
The intensity of touch had subtly increased. That was the only difference, but it was too big for Hye Yoon.
“Then, we’ll continue after lunch! Please gather by 2 o’clock!”
Hands tidying up the scattered equipment were swift. One by one, they hurriedly left the set, and Ji Ho was about to move when he saw Hye Yoon gesturing and mouthing something to Min Joo outside the camera’s range.
Looking back and forth between the two, it seemed like Hye Yoon intended to stay here. The gesture of placing her palms together and bringing them to her ears was clear enough for a child to interpret as ‘I’m going to sleep.’
“Aren’t you going to eat?”
“Yes. I’m tired so I’m going to rest a bit.”
Ji Ho nodded his head, watching the last two remaining staff members move.
“Well… let’s go to the sofa together. I’m going to look at the script.”
The voices of the two staff members gradually faded until they completely disappeared outside the door. The space that had been crowded with people emptied out in an instant. This place became truly silent when the two of them also stopped talking.
“Huh? Ji Ho, you’re going to stay here too?”
“Yes. It can be scary being alone.”
Surprise reflected in her brown eyes, but Ji Ho calmly replied.
“Hey, Ji Ho. I’m not scared of such things. I’m an only child, so I’m really used to being alone.”
Hye Yoon raised her voice a little to sound confident. She felt she wouldn’t be able to sleep because of her nervousness if Ji Ho was next to her. She just had to fall asleep quickly, and she could handle a bit of fear. It was confusing whether she said this to convince Ji Ho or to affirm her resolution.
Ji Ho, who was watching her cute bravado, nodded in a similar way, trying hard to hold back his smile.
“I see… well, then.”
As he agreed and responded in a matching manner, Ji Ho turned his back. Only then did he let out a slight chuckle, which Hye Yoon couldn’t see. As he took a step towards the door, Ji Ho intentionally muttered under his breath.
“But I wonder if it’ll be okay… everyone said they don’t want to be alone because it feels like there’s something here.”
In truth, he didn’t intend to leave completely. He was thinking about the blanket and sandwiches in his car. He thought he might need to cover her while she sleeps, and since there was still filming left, he wanted to feed her something when she woke up.
So, he thought he’d ask her to hang in there until he returned. After 10 minutes, he could check how fearless she was.
“Huh?”
He didn’t expect to confirm it in not even 10 seconds, let alone 10 minutes.
Her hand, which barely grasped his sleeve and not his wrist, seemed especially small. Ji Ho quickly composed his expression and turned around. His clear brown eyes, slightly sober from sleep, were focused on her.
“Really… Someone actually saw it?”
It was a problem that his composed expression immediately crumbled. Whether it was his expression or his heart.
“You said you weren’t scared.”
“I’m just curious…”
“It’s a joke. Get some rest. I’ll just bring a blanket in a moment.”
Feeling that she might really get scared if he teased her further, Ji Ho softened his expression. He also gently released her hand that was gripping his sleeve.
“No! I just don’t want to sleep.”
He couldn’t win against Hye Yoon, who grabbed his sleeve with both hands the moment one hand slipped away.
In the end, the two walked directly to the couch set up in the living room set. If they were to get even 10 more minutes of sleep without wasting time, this was the only way.
As Ji Ho sat down first, Hye Yoon glanced over the couch for a moment before finally sitting a few inches away. It seemed doubtful she could sleep in such discomfort, both mentally and physically.
Thud
“Uh…”
“Stop fussing.”
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.
