“It’ll get annoying if you keep doing it.”
With Eun-woo’s firm words, Seol-hee bit her lips, then nodded.
“I’ll try.”
“Okay.”
“…Darling.”
At Seol-hee’s call, Eun-woo’s mouth twitched.
“See, you said it like this.”
“No, what did I do?”
“You said it with a smile, while smiling.”
“I won’t smile anymore, I won’t smile now.”
“I don’t like it.”
Seol-hee turned her body away from him with a determined statement. However, naturally, not long after, he hugged Seol-hee. Chuckling, he buried his face in her hair.
Feeling warm and comfortable, Seol-hee opened her eyes slightly.
Without saying anything.
Without saying a word, peaceful time passed. The night deepened, and Eun-woo murmured quietly.
“Do you know what I really like a lot?”
“…”
Even though I know, even though I’ve heard it several times, my heart still flutters.
“Do you know?”
“…Uh, I think I do.”
“But why did you misunderstand that I have a fiancée?”
Unintentionally, resentment flowed from his lips.
True.
Looking at his gaze and expressions, there was no way to think he had another woman. But…
“First, I didn’t know you were from such a family, so I was surprised when I found out.”
“And?”
“Chaebol… You know, something always happens.”
“Really?”
As if it was the first time hearing it, he asked.
“Where did you hear such a story?”
“It’s on TV.”
As I grew up, everything I learned about chaebols was about such things. Strategic marriages between companies, hidden concubines, abandoned lovers… things like that.
“There’s something like ‘Birth Secret.'”
“That’s, just a drama.”
Seol-hee’s eyes narrowed at Eun-woo’s disdainful tone.
“Just dramas, huh… Just a while ago, there was a fuss about the CEO of ○○ Group going on an overseas trip with a lover who’s been with him for 20 years. The CEO didn’t want to get married, but after a forced strategic marriage, he roamed outside all the time.”
“Oh. Well, there might be such families.”
At Seol-hee’s words, Eun-woo laughed as if he found it amusing.
“But not our house. We’re ordinary.”
“Eun-woo doesn’t know ordinary.”
Wasn’t he the man who called Seol-hee’s grandmother’s house ordinary? Smiling at Seol-hee’s criticism, Eun-woo laughed again. Perhaps he was tense during the previous conversation. There was almost no laughter, but now, facing each other like this, laughter erupted.
“Yeah, maybe I don’t know ordinary.”
“…”
“But I won’t do such things. I don’t have that skill.”
Then, he buried his face in Seol-hee’s shoulder.
“So, don’t doubt weird things anymore.”
“Yes. I won’t.”
“I’m thankful that you came and told me today.”
“No. I wanted to know quickly too.”
Well said. If she hadn’t said anything, they would have doubted each other all day, and their groundless fantasies would have grown larger, tormenting each other.
“Yeah, please do that.”
At his affectionate words, Seol-hee’s eyes closed slowly. And once again, she fell into a deep sleep.
Eun-woo’s day today wasn’t bad.
This morning, when he woke up, Seol-hee was in his arms. The routine of waking up together, eating together, and going to work together.
He realized once again that lending her his house was a really good choice.
However.
Even on such a perfect morning, there was a flaw. As soon as he arrived at the hospital after going to work, he had an unpleasant experience.
“Ah.”
Eun-woo turned around, not seeing the person coming towards him. Seeing a body hitting his chin, he frowned.
“Ah, it’s hyung. Sorry.”
Ihyeon must have seen Eun-woo’s actions as he came straight towards him. Eun-woo’s mouth twisted at the deliberate collision, but he soon erased the expression.
After the deteriorated relationship with Ihyeon, his provocations became low-level and one-dimensional. Responding to each one only seemed to stimulate him more.
As Eun-woo turned to leave, there happened to be something to say, so his steps halted.
“Ah, Choe Ihyeon.”
“Yeah, what’s up?”
He had a malicious smile on his face.
“Do you have time for lunch today?”
“Oh, why?”
“I have something to say.”
“Say it now.”
“I have a consultation soon.”
Eun-woo’s eyes glanced at the clock, the hour hand pointing to 9. When he did, Ihyeon shrugged.
“If it’s personal, how about we meet after the consultation? Have a drink?”
Ha, his lips were amusing as he spoke, knowing why he wanted to meet. Eun-woo, who didn’t have strong preferences about people, had respected him as a junior before, but he could no longer endure it.
“There’s nothing personal to talk about with you. Come to my room during lunchtime.”
He would tell him then.
With a cold remark, Eun-woo returned to the examination room.
Tick, tock.
Eun-woo’s fingers clicked the mouse. The dry clicking sound echoed in the room. A little past 12:30, the door opened, and Ihyeon walked in.
“Did you find it?”
Eun-woo, who was leaning back in the chair, raised his chin.
“Yeah.”
Ihyeon sat down on the opposite chair, looking at Eun-woo with a smirk.
“So, what’s the reason you called me?”
Ihyeon raised one corner of his mouth, smiling.
“Shall I guess?”
“…”
“Because of Seol-hee?”
Turning the monitor, Eun-woo raised his head.
“No.”
“…”
“It’s because of this.”
Looking at the contents on the screen, Ihyeon furrowed his brows. Unexpectedly, his breath caught.
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.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
