“Haam……”
With a yawn the size of a fist, Hye Yoon got up. Her body felt as if she had a fever, stiff and the fatigue did not easily disappear. Underneath the phone screen displaying 12 o’clock, she saw two missed calls from Min Joo.
And the lingering heaviness of heart.
[Hye Yoon, you’re not picking up the phone. I’m really sorry but I don’t think I can go with you today. Can we go in two days? We can go before Woo Jun comes back. (9:10 AM)]“Of course, it’s okay……”
With a soft whisper to herself that matched her gently curved eyes, her fingers crafted a similar response.
[Ah, don’t be sorry. Don’t worry and take your time. Even if you come much later, it’s fine. (12:05 PM)]Since she had prepared her luggage the day before, there was nothing more to prepare. After leisurely washing and dressing, she, who had been watching TV for a while, left the house at Woo Jun’s call.
“Are you going to sleep well in there?”
As they stepped off the elevator, Woo Jun looked at her suitcase as if it was unbelievable. Men couldn’t understand women’s travel bags.
“Um…… I just ended up packing this and that.”
“You’ve brought something as big as you.”
Although he grumbled, Woo Jun quickly took hold of the handle. The two who loaded their luggage into the car and sat in the front seat naturally had a conversation fitting the time.
“Woo Jun, have you eaten lunch?”
“No. Let’s stop by the rest area on the way.”
“Oh! Good. It’s been so long since I’ve been to a rest area.”
Hye Yoon was pleased with Woo Jun’s response. With his appetite, she felt like she could taste a lot of different foods.
“But, isn’t Ji Ho not coming when I’m there?”
However, her buoyant mood was instantly deflated.
“……Yes.”
“That’s too bad. I really wanted to see him.”
Woo Jun contorted his face at her disappointing response. Hye Yoon smiled faintly at his expression, but even that faint smile didn’t last long. Somehow, it felt as if she could hear Min Woo’s voice.
‘Anyway, I made it clear. I wanted to participate because of Ji Ho, so I asked them to call me for a role that definitely overlaps.’
Her dreadful memory clung stubbornly to sentences that could have been forgotten.
‘How much courage does it take to come to a place where an official lover is present? No, not courage… it must be affection, right?’
Curiosity sprung from strange emotions followed one another. Hye Yoon, who had been imitating Woo Jun’s expression a while ago, quickly turned her head to the driver’s seat.
“Woo Jun, do pretty people usually have a lot of confidence?”
“Yeah. You can see it when they exercise. That’s why they’re even more beautiful. Because they act confidently.”
“……I see.”
“So you shouldn’t act confidently. Because you’re ugly.”
“Argh……”
Hye Yoon tried to hit his arm but loosened her clenched fist again. These playful words were more comfortable than complex thoughts that wouldn’t yield any answers anyway. She could easily let this kind of joke slide.
“Really… An Ji Ho is definitely not coming, right?”
“This is real!”
However, she couldn’t let this joke slide. She hit Woo Jun, her earlier anger amplifying. It provoked her more, thinking about how embarrassing the question she asked Ji Ho was.
“You deserve more hits!”
It was natural that her hand was gaining more strength. Unlike the fussing Hye Yoon, Woo Jun didn’t seem much affected. On the contrary, he even stretched out his arm for her to hit, as if receiving a massage from a child.
“But I get a separate room, right?”
“……Eek!”
And Hye Yoon’s cute punches came to a halt at a single word from Woo Jun.
Not long ago, when the staff asked her for the number of accommodations needed, Hye Yoon had requested one. Because it would be more fun to share a room with Min Joo. She had completely forgotten about Woo Jun’s accompanying her.
Oh my.
“What? Share a room?”
“Wow… it’s really serious. Just a minute.”
Unlike Woo Jun, who was still full of mischief, Hye Yoon was in a hurry. Ignoring his beaming gaze, she dialed Min Woo’s number.
‘…Yes, Hye Yoon, have you left?’
“Yes, we’re on our way now. But senior, we have an additional person with us. We need an extra room for about three days…”
She was so hurried she started with the main point without even a light greeting.
‘Ah… we have a lot of additional people today, so there are no rooms left.’
“Oh, mom…”
‘No? There’s a room that Ji Ho’s party reserved. He’s not coming. …He won’t come, right? They requested three rooms from his side.’
“Then I’ll ask. If it’s okay, I’d like to use one.”
‘Okay.’
As soon as the call with Min Woo ended, Hye Yoon thought hard. She felt she should contact Ji Ho, but this seemed to be the manager’s domain. Her thumb, making a big decision, lightly swiped Bong Gi’s number.
It was still scary the moment the call connected.
At the same time, Ji Ho was stuck in a traffic jam. The road was completely blocked, and people were eager to get into any lane that seemed to move a bit faster, whether there had been an accident or not.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
