“What now…….?”
It was only 10 PM. In Seoul, she would have had plenty to do – watch TV, play with Gomgom.
But Jeju was different.
Gomgom, left at the vet, left a void, and there was no TV. The silence outside made it even harder to sleep.
And just knowing Eun Woo was sleeping in the next room unsettled her.
Tossing and turning in bed several times, Seol Hee finally got up.
“I don’t have to wake up until 7 AM tomorrow, maybe I should take a walk.”
It seemed Eun Woo had already gone to bed, considering the silence outside the door. Earlier, while driving, she had noticed a pretty path near the house. Deciding to walk there, Seol Hee opened the door and stepped out of her room.
At that moment.
The door flung open.
Seol Hee’s eyes widened in surprise at the sound of a door opening in a corner of the house. It was the bathroom, and Eun Woo was coming out from there, wearing trousers but nothing on top.
The small light on the floor made it impossible not to see his naked torso, even if she didn’t want to. He seemed to have just showered, with water dripping from his hair. The droplets trickled down his broad shoulders, over his expansive chest, and settled on his well-defined abs.
Noticing Seol Hee, Eun Woo shook his wet hair with a towel and looked up.
“Where are you going?”
“Oh, just…”
“To use the bathroom?”
Eun Woo glanced back. This time, his broad back muscles were exposed, looking almost ready to burst.
Seeing such finely sculpted muscles, Seol Hee blinked rapidly, as if she had seen something she shouldn’t have.
Oh, that startled me.
“No, just… it’s quiet outside, thought of taking a walk.”
“A walk?”
He raised an eyebrow.
“Let’s go together.”
“Oh, I can go alone.”
“It might look safe, but it’s dangerous to walk alone in secluded areas. Let’s go together.”
“Is that so?”
It seemed a bit much for him to walk around half-naked, even in summer.
Realizing she was staring at his bare body, Eun Woo made a small noise and turned around.
“I’ll put on a shirt. Excuse me.”
“……Okay.”
Shortly after, Eun Woo emerged wearing a shirt. Standing close to him, Seol Hee’s heart raced irregularly, even though he hadn’t done anything.
Regretting she had even mentioned going for a walk.
Tonight, she had gotten no sleep.
Grumbling, Seol Hee bent down to put on her shoes.
“Ah. I’m tired.”
It was 7:30 AM.
Seol Hee woke up just in time for the conference, thanks to Eun Woo’s knock.
“I live poorly…”
Yesterday.
She had seen Eun Woo’s bare upper body. Her heart had already been racing from their previous encounters, but seeing his solid body in reality made her eyes bulge.
After that, they went for a brief walk.
But instead of calming down, the excitement only grew, and she kept recalling his image.
“Oh, this demon of lust.”
Tossing and turning.
Every time she almost fell asleep, Eun Woo’s whispered words echoed in her ears.
“I’m not gentlemanly enough to leave a woman I like alone.”
“……?”
“So you better run away before I pounce.”
Was his comment about pouncing meant in that way?
That means…
“Ah. I must be crazy.”
Could Eun Woo be lying awake like me? Or is it just me?
Such foolish thoughts kept her awake until she finally fell asleep after 3 AM. Even with makeup, the tiredness didn’t fade.
“You seem tired.”
On the way to the conference hotel.
At Eun Woo’s comment, Seol Hee laughed awkwardly.
“I couldn’t sleep.”
“Why?”
“Oh, just… nervous. I’ve never been to a conference before.”
Seol Hee awkwardly made an excuse, unable to admit that she couldn’t sleep because she had seen Eun Woo’s naked body.
“It’s nothing. Just think of it as attending lectures today.”
“Can someone who’s not a veterinarian also attend?”
“Yes. You’re registered.”
Soon, they arrived at the conference venue.
The conference hall was larger and more crowded than Seol Hee had expected.
“Let’s go to the registration desk to confirm.”
“Okay.”
As they walked, various people greeted Eun Woo.
“Hey, Eun Woo. It’s been a while.”
“Oh, long time no see, senior.”
It seemed he knew many people from his university days, exchanging light greetings.
This being Seol Hee’s first time at a veterinary conference, everything intrigued her. Just then, an elegant woman entered the hall.
Seol Hee, who was short and cute, turned her head involuntarily, struck by the woman’s graceful beauty. Her hair was stylishly upturned, and she smiled softly, looking their way.
Upon spotting Eun Woo, her eyes lit up, and she rushed over.
“Eun Woo oppa.”
Before he could even turn, her slender, long arm hooked onto Eun Woo’s. The beautiful woman leaned in close, smiling.
“You should have told me you were coming today.”
It was an unexpected encounter.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
