The more I heard, the stranger it was. He wasn’t even my major professor, let alone an interviewer.
“Is that what you wanted to say?”
“Yes.”
His succinct response of ‘yes’ effortlessly shattered my heart.
What am I still expecting from this man? Am I yearning for a love that’s never been, but is now passionate?
I think it’s wrong to want to be compensated for the time I spent hopelessly in love, but as the days go by, I want more from him. Like a debtor approaching a moneylender.
I used to be perfectly happy just facing each other like this. But now my spirit was crushed.
I want to challenge and ask why he doesn’t love me as much. If that’s the case, he should just let go. I wonder why he wants to hold on to me for a year.
The egg rice, which was tasteless, tasted bitter. Se Ah slammed her spoon down with a stern face.
“Why? Will you get me a job, Mr. Kang Woo?”
“I might.”
“It’s surprising that a cool person like you, Mr. Kang Woo, would write a family member.”
“We need more writers due to the G Coms collaboration project. The conditions will be more satisfactory than other companies. Do you have any thoughts?”
“….”
“You are my showcase wife.”
Kang Woo’s forehead furrowed deeply.
“No, it’s not because you’re my public wife that I’m hiring. If you have multiple records of such largescale competitions, it won’t be a loss to the company.”
“I’ll take care of getting a job myself. I ate well.”
Se Ah pushed her chair back and stood up. Kang Woo, who got up one after the other, pulled Se Ah’s shoulder towards him. Unintentionally, she got closer to him.
“Think rationally, without emotions. It means you should take care of your things.”
While watching his annoyingly calm face, she took his hand from her neck.
“Thank you for the advice.”
((()))((()))((()))
Kang Woo returned to the guest room and closed the door with a bang.
“Ha.”
The heavy breath he had been holding burst out.
He picked up his phone, checked the alarm while suppressing his complicated feelings, and laid on the bed.
Even if he finished work on time, the start time was just as early, so his sleep hours were similar to before. That’s why, even though his eyes were bloodshot to the point of stinging, he couldn’t fall asleep easily.
Even though he had drunk some alcohol for this reason.
The single drink he had just made him see Se Ah in a more attractive light.
So, it was dangerous. When he pulled her coldeyed neck towards him, he wanted to kiss her right there.
‘Was she always this beautiful?’
She looked pretty in my eyes before, but I just accepted it because she was my wife.
But lately, Se Ah’s atmosphere has been oddly different. There was a mature aura beneath her aloof demeanor.
Naturally, the primal anxiety of a male rose. Wondering if some other guy might take her away.
It was her who had broken down my hard heart. With her pitiful gaze and touch, she managed to stop me from leaving the hotel room.
Suddenly recalling the past, he naturally furrowed his brows.
“I’m going crazy.”
The words tinged with discomfort burst out involuntarily.
One of the reasons for trying to bring Se Ah into the company was because we needed a reason to keep her in front of me, given our hollow marriage devoid of any real obligation or sense of responsibility.
Since Se Ah has the skills, I was able to propose a job rationally. Everything added up perfectly.
Even though sleep had completely evaded me, I forced myself to go to sleep.
My schedule for tomorrow was unusually busy. After the monthly idea meeting, I had to readjust the launch schedule, followed by an external meeting, and also visit Hyun Suk’s hospital.
‘Thank you for the advice.’
It was futile to try to sleep. Se Ah’s face, coolly pulling my hand away, only became clearer.
((()))((()))((()))
Se Ah revisited Han Seong University Hospital to see Hyun Suk.
She had taken the elevator from the underground parking lot up to the VIP ward. As she was about to enter the ward, she felt bothered coming emptyhanded.
Lately, she had been so out of sorts that she hadn’t been able to properly reach out to Hyun Sook for several days, and it had been bothering her to leave everything up to the caregiver.
Considering Hyun Sook’s fondness for bread, she thought about going to the bakery on the first floor and headed down.
The bakery was large and offered a wide variety of items, each looking deliciously wellbaked.
There were so many people that there hardly seemed time to nicely arrange the bread. The vast metal trays were stacked high with bread, and as one tray emptied, it was replaced with another.
Her attention was drawn to one place where people seemed to be reaching out their hands unusually often.
Is this the best thing here? It just looked like a normal croissant.
She reached out with a tong to the single remaining croissant, but at the same time, another person picked up the same bread.
“You can take it.”
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.
