“Hey, who asked about that!”
So-min, feeling upset after hearing a story about someone else’s kiss in the morning breeze, frowned. Despite being a little scared at the prospect of being overturned immediately, Jae-rim bravely continued speaking.
“So-min asked, right! Why are you so down? Then you have to listen to the answer until the end.”
It was unnecessary to ask. She should have pretended not to know.
Even though So-min was considering making a fuss and escaping, Jae-rim, who sensed her inner thoughts like a ghost, firmly grabbed the cuff of So-min’s clothes and quickly spilled out his words. How they happened to meet, exchanged some contact, and roughly what happened.
“…But suddenly, a photo of her with another man was uploaded. It was written like ‘Starting from today.’ At first, I thought it was a joke, but it wasn’t. It was really unbelievable. Do you know how humiliating and embarrassing it is to even ask what this is? Wow, seriously.”
Ugh. So-min, who had listened carefully, sighed.
“He’s trash. Block and forget about it.”
“Uh… But still, it’s a bit much to call someone garbage.”
“Excuse me, are you the sucker?”
So-min glanced at Jae-rim with eyes that assessed him like the leader of fools.
“Considering what kind of garbage you’ve seen so far, do you think that’s not garbage? Honestly.”
As Eun-su, who had just entered, sensed the intriguing atmosphere, he pricked up his ears. So-min continued.
“After kissing, you shouldn’t treat people like that. If that’s not garbage, then what is?”
Thud.
A sound resonated deeply from Eun-su’s conscience. So-min, who saw the stiff Eun-su belatedly, suddenly asked.
“No, Director, honestly, if you’ve kissed, aren’t you in a relationship?”
“Oh no? Maybe not? I don’t know.”
So-min was genuinely shocked at Eun-su’s almost reflexive response.
“What? Are you so progressive…?”
Joo-han and Seon-gyeong, who knows where they went, entered from the front and back. After the usual morning greetings, Seon-gyeong added.
“I don’t see the broadcasting team today.”
“They said they’re a bit late because of a full meeting.”
Eun-su, who immediately answered, inexplicably glanced at Joo-han. Although he didn’t look directly and avoided eye contact, his expression didn’t seem bad.
“Why is your expression like that?”
As soon as he heard Joo-han’s voice, Eun-su flinched reflexively. For a moment, he thought Joo-han was asking him, but Joo-han’s gaze was on Jae-rim.
“Since we’re talking about it, let’s ask the CEO and Director, too. I don’t know anymore.”
So-min, leaving a word to Jae-rim, disappeared towards the stairs, muttering about how the world would turn out. Seon-gyeong, with eyes full of curiosity, looked back at Jae-rim.
“What are you asking? What’s going on?”
“Well… it’s not about me at all, it’s about my friend.”
Listening carefully to Jae-rim’s explanation with a focused expression, Seon-gyeong looked embarrassed, as if she couldn’t understand.
“I don’t understand people who kiss before saying they’re dating in the first place. What about the CEO?”
This company is really. Why did they gather only people talking about kisses from the morning breeze? Eun-su’s stomach churned. But since he had said that he didn’t remember anything about kissing or whatever, being conscious of it would look more suspicious.
Joo-han spoke.
“By any chance, was that kiss after drinking?”
“Yes? Uh, yes, it was.”
“Then don’t attach any meaning to it. You probably wanted to do it in a drunken state. Where is the memory?”
Once again, a silent scream from Eun-su’s conscience resonated. He should have naturally left with So-min when she left earlier. Eun-su, thinking that, looked as far away as possible with eyes devoid of focus.
Joo-han passed by and patted Jae-rim’s shoulder.
“Cheer up.”
“Thank you… not. I mean, it’s about my friend, you know?”
“Then tell your friend.”
Joo-han turned his head. Eun-su, who met his eyes directly, shrunk his shoulders.
“Eun-su.”
“Uh, yes?”
Eun-su’s eyes narrowed as he suddenly approached Joo-han. Joo-han casually held Eun-su’s hands. Looking down at Eun-su’s sweetly trembling pupils, Joo-han said a word.
“I’ll continue to be your external hard drive.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“When you drink, sometimes your memories get erased, right? I’ll store that in my memory for you.”
Eun-su silently closed his mouth after seeing a bottle of hangover relief pills coming out of Joo-han’s pocket.
“You can forget everything else, but don’t forget me.”
With that statement, Joo-han let go of Eun-su’s hands, and as he headed downstairs, Eun-su swallowed a sigh. Although it might have sounded like goosebumps to others, Eun-su felt chills on his arms. It was a stern warning that he remembered everything.
Jaerim gave Eun-su a disapproving look and said, “Director, you said you would quit drinking, but now you’re eating film again.”
“Hey, is quitting alcohol so easy? Huh?”
“No, why are you suddenly exploding at me? What did I do well to deserve a big scolding?”
Ignoring Jaerim’s grumbling, Eun-su, who came up to the office, stuffed himself with hangover relief pills. His head was more dizzy than his stomach.
There were many things to think about, but thinking wouldn’t solve anything. He could only endure.
With an expression that was somewhat determined, Eun-su turned on his laptop. He carefully checked the email sent by the headquarters and sent a reply.
He was also carefully reviewing the sponsorship-related documents that Director Kim and he had verbally agreed upon before. But then, a text message arrived. It was Yoonbin.
[I think I can come this afternoon. Is that okay?]Yoonbin had mentioned once during the shoot that he wanted to come and visit. However, from the company’s perspective, it became a schedule. So Eun-su had casually told Joo-han that Yoonbin might come, but he didn’t mention it to the broadcasting station.
Of course, he could come; he was very grateful, and he replied with emoticons expressing excitement. As Eun-su was about to contact Joo-han as well, a call came in first.
― I just got a call from the PD. They said they got a call saying Choi Yoonbin will appear, and they’re saying he’s on his way right now.
Joo-han muttered to himself as if talking to himself.
― But is he really coming? Isn’t he busy, that guy?
“He has time. I’m thankful that he’s coming even though he’s busy.”
Once he said he understood, Joo-han hung up the phone and irritably touched his chin.
I’m grateful, but I’m not thankful.
I know. After Yoonbin visited last time, I know how much the SNS account followers and sales increased. If he appears on the broadcast, it will become a hot topic again. However, it didn’t sit well with Joo-han.
He had never explicitly expressed it, but Joo-han felt uncomfortable around Yoonbin. Even though Yoonbin had never given him a reason to feel uncomfortable since their first meeting.
If he had been Eun-su’s real older brother, he might have tried to look good. But that wasn’t the case. However, since he was like a real older brother, what was the point of being jealous?
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.]
