“Yuri, um… remember the kid who used to live in your house?”
There were one or two such kids. There were several children whom Yuri’s mom and dad brought home to revitalize the company’s image.
There was a separate annex and many rooms in the house, so they seldom bumped into each other, but, regardless, they were a crowd Yuri didn’t want to mix with.
Yuri, wearing a sullen expression, pressed the speakerphone button on her phone and put it down on the table.
“I’m kind of busy. If it’s not important, let’s talk later.”
The bag that Yuri’s father, Jo Dae Hoon, had bought her on his recent business trip to China was a product not available in Korea.
She placed the bag on the chair opposite her and set up tea and scones on the table.
Yuri was planning to update her photos on her elegantly and nobly themed SNS, even skipping dinner, as she was investing time and effort inside the room.
Then she received a call from the youngest daughter of N Foods and a high school classmate. Yuri was wondering what she was about to say, but it was a useless task.
“You know, um, the girl who used to do Korean dance. We went to school together, don’t you remember? Oh, why can’t I remember her name? She was the same age as us and was extremely beautiful. The guys were head over heels, especially Jung Jae Hoon…”
“What are you trying to say?”
Yuri picked up her phone at the words that were obviously describing Yoon Jae In. She deactivated the speakerphone and glared at the innocent tea with an emerging snarl.
“I saw her. You know, she looks a little different if you think about the old times? I mean, should I say she’s become more beautiful? Well, she was always so beautiful that she could slap a few celebrities in the face and still be left over. But she was even more beautiful? When she appeared, people were…”
“Enough about that. Where did you see her?”
“Well… I’m at the Gang Seon Art Center charity event right now. And she’s here?”
At the mention of the Gang Seon Art Center, Yuri stood up abruptly. The table she had been carefully arranging a moment ago was pushed away weakly.
Was Yoon Jae In really in Korea? Even so, there was no reason for Yoon Jae In to appear at the Gang Seon Art Center. Not to mention a charity event at the Gang Seon Art Center, where only a few were invited. As if Yoon Jae In had such a privilege.
“But, Yuri, um… are you really marrying Kang Tae Seo…?”
That Yuri was the future daughterinlaw of the Gang Seon Group was a fact known to everyone who knew Yuri. Only Jae In did not know.
It was because Jae In did not pay attention to Yuri and because Yuri was careful in front of Jae In. There was no need to tell the beautiful Jae In about the man I liked.
“What are you talking about? Are you implying that I’ve lied?”
“Well… she’s Kang Tae Seo’s partner?”
“What? Can you back up what you just said? When did you see Tae Seo?”
There was a brief silence after Yuri’s fierce retort, and then her interlocutor responded with a voice full of confidence.
“It’s true! My brother told me that the handsome man next to her is Kang Tae Seo. But you know, the rumors about Kang Tae Seo being curt, I guess that’s not true? He’s very affectionate with his partner. It’s causing a scene here. It’s like they’re in their own world. Yuri, are you really marrying Kang Tae Seo?”
Crash, a tea cup worth over a million won rolled on the floor. Yuri’s hand, which had overturned the table, was trembling.
“Here it is.”
Tae Seo, who parked the car by the roadside, tilted his face. He looked up at the large 18story apartment building and frowned.
In fact, Tae Seo already knew where Jae In lived. The newly built apartment in the heart of Gangnam had fairly good security.
There was only one drawback. It was too close to Tae Seo’s company, Jae In’s yoga studio, and the Gang Seon Art Center where they met that day. Tae Seo was not ready to part with Jae In yet.
“Thank you for the ride.”
“Let me take you to your door.”
“No.”
“Then, at least to the entrance of the apartment.”
It was hard to refuse that. When Jae In nodded, Tae Seo turned the steering wheel with a smile.
Jae In didn’t say anything to the man who was circling near the apartment, complaining there was nowhere to park while there was a perfectly fine underground parking lot.
In fact, Jae In also enjoyed this moment of conversation with Tae Seo. She didn’t want to return to the complicated reality.
“Where do you live, Tae Seo?”
“I live in Jeongnyundong.”
“Ah…?”
Jae In had been in Jeongnyundong until she went to the art center that day. She had combed her hair and put on makeup in a warm, cozy house in Jeongnyundong.
Was it a coincidence? Could that house, arranged by Kang Tae Seo’s secretary, be Kang Tae Seo’s house? But don’t chaebols usually live in more sprawling houses?
Lost in thought, Jae In remembered the dark brown cat that had been lying on its back on the rug the entire two days she had been in that house.
“Do you like cats?”
“I hate them.”
Jae In burst into laughter at the immediate negative response.
Of course, there was no way.
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.
