As soon as they came down to the first floor, Eunjae tied an apron around her waist. She intended to resume the practice that had been momentarily interrupted by Sunwoo’s call.
Sunwoo leaned against the opposite side of Eunjae.
Watching her check the ingredients written in the textbook, pull the apron strap back and tie a ribbon, Sunwoo smiled affectionately.
Finishing the knot and flicking the apron, Eunjae noticed his gaze and tilted her head, smiling.
“Why are you smiling?”
“What are you making?”
“Dodok-gui.”
“Why didn’t you go to the academy today?”
“It’s canceled.”
“When is it canceled again?”
“Whenever. Is there a problem?”
Lately, there have been more questions. It was nice that he was curious about and asked about her. It was nice to ask and answer, letting each other naturally blend into each other’s lives.
With questions and answers piling up, there would come moments when they could understand each other’s desires and messages with just a glance.
Sunwoo, who had been listening to Eunjae’s words, took out his phone and searched for something. Then Eunjae’s phone rang briefly.
Sunwoo pointed to Eunjae’s phone as if saying it had been waiting.
“Check the message.”
“What is it? You can just tell me. I’ll look at it later.”
“Look now.”
“Oh, really.”
Grumbling, Eunjae picked up the phone. When she opened the message, her eyes widened.
The sent message was an image file showing Sunwoo’s detailed schedule.
“Why is this…?”
“Open yours. Don’t couples share secrets with each other?”
“Well, yes. Couples shouldn’t keep secrets from each other.”
Standing beside them, Mrs. Seongsan laughed, and Eunjae scratched her head.
In fact, she didn’t answer all at once because she liked that he kept asking.
“Today, the teacher canceled the class due to personal reasons. Originally, it’s only canceled on weekends.”
“…”
“Why? Do you feel deceived?”
“Do you want me to erase the schedule you sent? I didn’t look closely. I didn’t see it well. Looking at Sunwoo, who didn’t seem to be in a good mood, Eunjae tried to say various things.
“Are you not curious about when I take a break?”
“…”
“Never mind.”
Without waiting for Eunjae to say anything, he turned his body abruptly.
“What’s wrong? You didn’t even listen to the end.”
Leaning against the Irish table, Eunjae looked at Sunwoo’s broad back and murmured.
It’s cool even when angry, and it’s cool even when pouting.
“I was curious too.”
“Really?”
Turning around and smiling at Sunwoo who turned back, Eunjae lowered her gaze to her phone again. She carefully examined his schedule, densely filled in.
When you become a couple, sharing personal things becomes natural. Now I realize again that we are a couple.
Eunjae smiled contentedly, put down her phone, and focused on preparing the ingredients.
“Gochujang is done, 10 ml of Jin soy sauce… Where’s the soy sauce?”
After looking everywhere and not finding it, Eunjae asked Mrs. Seongsan.
“Auntie, where is the soy sauce?”
Wiping her hands, damp from Eunjae’s question, on her apron, Mrs. Seongsan, who was surveying the island, clapped her hands.
“Oh my, I forgot the soy sauce. Please wait here for a moment.”
“No, stay here. I’ll go get it.”
“I know more about housekeeping. I’ll be back soon.”
While Mrs. Seongsan and Eunjae were having a dispute, Sunwoo, who was standing on the opposite side, looked down at his wristwatch, leaned slightly, and got up.
“I’ll bring it; I have to go now anyway.”
“No, Mr. Sunwoo. Don’t worry about work here and go quickly.”
“Yes, Professor. I’ll be back.”
Although Eunjae tried to stop him, it seemed too late to catch Sunwoo, who had already started walking. Mrs. Seongsan, who was looking at the closed front door, where he had disappeared, smiled contentedly.
“Anyway, he’s fast.”
“Yes, that’s right. He’s always fast with everything.”
Because actions speak louder than words.
A person who, whether it’s a heavy or light object, grabs it without a word when it’s in their hands. A person who proposed within a week of talking about dating. A person who kisses before hearing the answer to the proposal.
Thinking about various things, she chuckled. While humming a tune, Eunjae’s phone rang. Checking Sunwoo’s name, Eunjae quickly took off the gloves she was wearing and picked up the phone.
“Yes, Mr. Sunwoo.”
[Why are there so many types of soy sauce? Seasoned soy sauce, brewed soy sauce, jin soy sauce, light soy sauce. Which one?]
Although it wasn’t a loud voice, the kitchen was quiet enough for the conversation to spill outside. Hearing Sunwoo’s grumbling voice, Eunjae mumbled for a while before answering.
“It’s jin soy sauce.”
Even after hanging up the phone, Eunjae couldn’t stop laughing. Seeing her laughter, Mrs. Seongsan, who was peeling onions, also laughed.
“I haven’t done many errands, so I don’t know more. Well, all parents with children are like that, but the great madam raised her with special care. After a big incident when she was young, she became even more like that…”
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.

She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi.
