The surgery had finished early.
Sun Woo, who had returned to his office after his schedule ended and took out a paper, seemed to be lost in thought for a moment, stopping what he was doing. Then, he packed the paper he had spread out into his briefcase and stood up.
Arriving at the apartment in a rush, a feeling of emptiness swept over him. The woman was not there.
While placing the cake box he was holding on the table, he accepted the absurd laughter that burst out.
I was the kind of guy who could do this to a woman who liked even someone like me, he thought.
On the way, his steps had suddenly stopped in front of a bakery. He remembered the sight of Eun Jae enjoying the cheesecake last time.
For instance, eyebrows that sneak up when she eats delicious food, or small lips that move deliciously.
Today, he wanted to sit facing each other alone and wanted to hear any kind of story. He thought it would be good even if it was just about what she did today, what she ate, and such trivial things.
After ending the call with Eun Jae and looking at the silent mobile phone, a deflated smile appeared.
Let’s eat dinner at the hotel today too.
What should I eat, what would she like?
While thinking about something he had never thought about before, Sun Woo pulled out a chair from the dining table and sat down.
Soon, Sun Woo’s gaze reached a bundle of wedding invitations neatly arranged on the table. It was what was left over after distributing it to acquaintances.
I must have looked at it dozens of times just today.
The card, which didn’t give him any special feeling when he first received it, looked different now. He opened it and looked at it again, even gently stroking Eun Jae’s name engraved on it.
Sun Woo reached out his hand and grasped the wedding invitation. Then, he slowly opened the card.
{ Groom Yoon Sun Woo }
{ Bride Ji Eun Jae }
When his gaze, scanning the print, stopped at Eun Jae’s name, the corners of Sun Woo’s mouth naturally rose.
Eun Jae’s face overlaid the wedding invitation.
Eun Jae was like a white canvas. The color of the emotions that appeared on it was so distinct that sometimes he laughed.
When embarrassed, her cheeks turned pink, and when she lied, her ears turned red.
Looking back, he seemed to have deliberately teased her because he wanted to see that look again.
Sun Woo’s gaze turned back to where their names were written side by side.
What if it becomes real, not just a contract?
He now wanted to attach a different reason to the marriage, which had a clear purpose.
“You really like breaching contracts. You’re nothing without me.”
That’s right. I’m nothing without you.
It’s a blatant breach of contract. It’s not the words I always used to say to women, is it?
“You seem to give by deed and receive by word.”
She was a woman who always sought to escape. It could have been considered as catching a good chance. And yet, it seemed like there was something left.
At this point, the words of confession he made to me while drunk get confusing. I start to feel anxious, thinking that he might have confused me with someone else.
I can’t stand it, I need to make a decision one way or another.
‘Be careful. What will you do if something goes wrong?’
Yoon Sun Woo, who was still holding onto his sanity, whispered.
For a moment, Sun Woo felt that it wouldn’t matter even if that happened, then suddenly snapped back to his senses.
Then he laughed hollowly. He found it strange to find himself focusing on something other than the hospital.
Sun Woo, resting his chin on the dining table, stared blankly across it. The image of Eun Jae, sitting across from him and smiling brightly, flickered in front of his eyes like a mirage.
It seemed like she always brought out another side of him, hidden deep within.
I had never thought about wanting to touch someone before, but when I looked at her, I wanted to stroke her small head, and then I felt an urge to hold her.
She might have been the only woman who could save me, who was driven to the edge. In that sense, you and I might be each other’s saviors.
Vaguely, the things I had thought about were gradually distorted, and before I knew it, she had quietly and peacefully flooded in. I also know that it’s too late to push her away now.
I still don’t know exactly what emotion my heart is expressing towards her. The feeling that I had never felt before was unfamiliar.
I just like Ji Eun Jae.
I like being with her, I like watching her, I like her smiling face, I like her being happy even with small things.
And……
I wish Eun Jae would stay happy by my side.
When the thought went that far, Sun Woo immediately picked up his jacket and left the apartment.
Upon spotting Eun Jae, Sun Woo shook his phone, which he was on a call with, lightly in the air, as if to express his joy.
Even from a distance, she could see him smiling brightly.
Would there be any woman who wouldn’t fall for him when he flirted like that?
It’s not that I’m easy, it’s that you’re good.
So, just in case, why, if you ask why I mixed personal feelings into this contract marriage.
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.
