“So-Ri, right now is when you’re worried about that? I feel hurt. It’s upsetting to find out about this so late. I thought about coming to Korea and pretending not to know for a month, even when I came in.”
“Seo Ji-Woo.”
As if to stop him, Hyun-Woo lightly tapped him on the arm, but Ji-Woo dodged it and leaned towards the opposite side.
“Mom said she’s sick, so we’re just letting it go. You know that, right?”
Looking back and forth between Hyun-Woo and So-Ri, Ji-Woo asked, and So-Ri seemed a bit taken aback.
“Well… I’m sorry. I’m too inexperienced. You were also busy in the U.S.”
“I was busy. Attending Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks. And shooting a movie.”
“Yeah, it was all for you.”
“Don’t be funny. Do you think I didn’t know that you two almost broke up without me?”
Staring alternately at Hyun-Woo and So-Ri, Ji-Woo looked intimidating, and So-Ri seemed slightly flustered.
“Uh, you two almost broke up? When? Ah! Was it at that time, perhaps?”
Without any awareness, Kang-Woo interjected with curious eyes.
“I feel unfairly treated, nearly got a chill. Little brother.”
Hyun-Woo suddenly changed the subject, clenching his fist.
No, even the professor, why is he doing this?
Ah, I don’t know. Now.
“Excuse me. If you came to make me lose my mind, could you all please leave?”
She wanted to take a break alone, so why is everyone making such a fuss?
Feeling another headache coming on, So-Ri pressed her elbow against the table and covered her head.
“Oh, right. I came to feed you. I brought porridge. Abalone porridge.”
“Ji-Woo. I’m not a patient. Why did you bring porridge for the dead?”
“Yeah, Noona. Especially in times like this, you should eat well. I prepared a lunchbox from Han Sung-Jae. Ta-da.”
“Kang-Woo, please stop bothering the director. Please.”
“So-Ri, I…”
“Ah, stop it, Professor!”
So-Ri waved her hand, blocking Hyun-Woo’s words. Hyun-Woo’s eyebrows sharply rose.
So-Ri, who had been holding her forehead, whispered something to Hyun-Woo.
“Professor, could you please send them out? Please?”
Especially on a mission, Hyun-Woo, holding his chin, faced Kang-Woo and Ji-Woo.
And very succinctly gestured with his chin.
Towards the front door.
After everyone left, So-Ri and Hyun-Woo sat side by side on the sofa.
Whether she couldn’t sleep well or not, So-Ri’s eyes looked tired.
“Do you want to lie down a bit?”
“Can I lie down here?”
“Sure.”
So-Ri, stretching her body to the side, leaned her head on Hyun-Woo’s lap.
“It’s nice that the professor is unemployed.”
“Is it good?”
“Yes. It’s nice to be able to see your face for a long time.”
“I like it too. It’s the first time in my life that I’ve welcomed leisure.”
“At times like this, shouldn’t we go on a trip? You’ve always lived only for work.”
“So, that’s why I came to see you these days.”
After sorting things out at Imperial Hospital and taking a short break, he seemed to be going to So-Ri and Su-Hyang’s house every day.
“But isn’t it uncomfortable for your mom to go out every day?”
“Heh. I don’t know. Maybe.”
“If that’s the case, it’s not good.”
“Mom never liked being at home much. No matter what I say, she doesn’t listen.”
So-Ri left Hyun-Woo’s house and returned to the days when she lived with Su-Hyang.
Su-Hyang was in an uproar, wanting to go back to Hyun-Woo’s house, but So-Ri insisted she didn’t want to.
“Can my mom get a kidney transplant?”
“Of course. Everyone is coming forward like it’s my business. Maybe there’s good news?”
“Thank you, but I feel so sorry.”
If I got along well with my mom, I wouldn’t have to worry like this.
Feeling a heavy heart, Hyun-Woo gently stroked So-Ri’s hair as if consoling her.
“I’m sorry. You probably would have done the same in my position, right?”
“Well. But.”
Then suddenly, a doubt arose.
Ji-Woo and Hyun-Woo might be like that, but why is Kang-Woo doing this?
“Professor, there’s Kang-Woo. He’s a bit strange.”
“Strange? What do you mean?”
“Why are you being so kind to me? Come to think of it, it seems like it has been that way from the beginning. It’s strange… And Mr. X also cares a lot. About me and my mom.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Maybe because my mom has been working there for so long?”
Throwing out the question and unable to sleep due to worries all night, So-Ri’s eyelids gradually drooped.
Yawning quietly and brushing off So-Ri’s head, who was almost asleep, he put his hand on her shoulder.
“I’m suddenly lying down because of the professor. I’m sleepy.”
“Sure. Sleep a bit.”
The fluttering eyelashes stopped shaking, and the rattling breath filled the silence.
Looking down at them, Hyun-Woo patted her back like putting a child to sleep.
Their marriage was indefinitely postponed because all efforts were focused on Su-Hyang’s recovery.
Hyun-Woo also wanted to make So-Ri feel comfortable.
Although everything was put off until Su-Hyang recovered, the minds of the two were more peaceful than ever.
Sharing ordinary daily life and sharing worries.
After a long journey…
Finally, the two became real lovers.
Holding the sound that had fallen asleep peacefully, he laid her on the bed.
In deep sleep, So-Ri showed no signs of movement.
I should have fed her dinner first if I knew this would happen.
Hyun-Woo, coming out of So-Ri’s room, rolled up his sleeves and entered the now familiar kitchen.
Checking what food was left, and the condition of the ingredients, he rummaged through the refrigerator.
Then, he noticed the lunchbox Kang-Woo had left behind.
Quite substantial and large. Watching the carefully prepared lunchbox, as Hyun-Woo stood still, remembering what So-Ri had said.
“Professor.”
“Oh, Mom. You came. Shouldn’t you have dinner? I’ll prepare it.”
Hyun-Woo took out the lunchbox and porridge, asking Su-Hyang.
“Yeah. I came right after finishing work. But where is So-Ri?”
“So-Ri needs to rest a bit. Please leave your luggage and come out.”
“Yeah. I’ll be out soon.”
A while later, Su-Hyang came out after a quick wash and change of clothes.
“Whose cooking is this?”
“Do you know Kang-Woo? He brought it.”
“Oh, really? Where did he buy it? It must be expensive.”
Su-Hyang picked up a shrimp roll with chopsticks.
Her chewing expression brightened. It seemed quite delicious.
“That friend’s father gave it to him, he said.”
“Oh? Cough, cough.”
Suddenly startled, Su-Hyang lightly punched her chest. Hyun-Woo poured water and placed it in front of Su-Hyang.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. Please eat slowly.”
Since Hyun-Woo spoke quite firmly, Su-Hyang couldn’t argue anymore. When it came to So-Ri and Su-Hyang, Hyun-Woo had taken charge, putting aside his busy schedule.
“If you have something to say to me, feel free to do so anytime. It’s okay to talk about things that may be difficult to discuss with So-Ri.”
“So-Ri has been adamantly urging me not to say anything.”
“Yes. I understand. But I feel a bit hurt.”
“Hurt? How could I? I like Professor Seo so much. How much I trust and rely on him.”
Hyun-Woo nodded slowly.
Hyun-Woo had hoped that one day Su-Hyang would open up to him.
But facing Su-Hyang, whose face showed signs of concern, it seemed he couldn’t just wait.
“This is unrelated to So-Ri. It’s about me.”
“Hmm?”
Hyun-Woo unexpectedly brought up the topic and looked at Su-Hyang, who kept staring at the lunchbox, with gentle eyes.
“If it were me, even if my mother hid the existence of my father for a long time, and I found out about it later, I wouldn’t be disappointed or angry.”
Su-Hyang’s eyes widened, and a faint light flickered above her pupils.
“Just knowing that he exists might make me happy.”
“Professor Seo…”
“Especially if I had never met him even once.”
So, now, he wished Su-Hyang would open up to So-Ri.
Hyun-Woo’s dark pupils were silently speaking to Su-Hyang.
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.]
