Seo Ah laughed awkwardly. Yeon Suk had said the same thing, she tried to cover it up with makeup, but it seemed to show.
Even though she felt on top of the world, her body felt as heavy as a thousand kilograms. It made sense since she had overused her body and she didn’t like exercise.
“But… were you at the department store alone on Friday morning?”
Seo Ah quickly rolled her eyes. It seems she was talking about when she went to buy a diffuser and tea that is good for insomnia for Ha Joon. It would be chaos if Yeong Ju knew because she went alone, but how did she know?
“Ah. I had things to buy.”
“Why didn’t you call me?”
Yeong Ju looked puzzled. She always went everywhere with him.
“You didn’t have a morning class that day. I felt weird calling you out of the blue. But how did you know??”
“You know my personal shopper is my friend.”
Seo Ah felt taken aback. Did she also hear about what she bought?
“Next time, just call me.”
“I will.”
Fortunately, it seems that wasn’t the case. It would have been chaos if she knew.
“Do you remember when I mixed soju and beer and passed out when I was twenty?”
“I remember. Why do you bring that up all of a sudden?”
“Didn’t I do anything else but sleep then?”
“Yes. We thought you fainted and we even took you to the emergency room.”
“What about before I fainted? I didn’t get drunk, did I? I don’t think I would have passed out immediately after drinking…”
Yeong Ju recalled that time with a puzzled look.
“Come to think of it… You talked a lot. You also acted cutely more often, and you said a lot of affectionate words.”
So that’s how it was. Damn. She should have asked earlier and been careful.
Seo Ah resolved never to drink until she was drunk again.
“Why do you ask? Did something really happen?”
“No, no! I was just talking about drinking with Ha Joon, and then we talked about being drunk… so I was just asking, just in case.”
While driving, Yeong Ju nodded without giving any reply.
Seo Ah, feeling like a thief with her foot asleep, quickly followed up.
“Re, really! I asked because I thought I should be careful if I knew? And I only had one glass of wine with Ha Joon!”
((()))
That evening.
After eating dinner alone as usual, Seo Ah finished a light walk in the garden and returned to her room.
Suddenly, she remembered what Ha Joon had said in the morning.
I want to hold you, but I don’t have time. Are you upset?
I will come home early instead.
It was 7 p.m. now. He had come home around 9 p.m. last week, and he would probably do the same today?
It wasn’t that she was upset because he came home late. She knew how important his work was to him.
It was nice of him to say that. She hadn’t even imagined that he would say something like that.
Dragging her tired body, she filled the spa tub with water.
Her entire body was so heavy that she felt she needed to relax before Ha Joon arrived. She didn’t want him to see her in pain.
The tub was filled with water, and foam from the bath additive was overflowing.
Soon, she loudly played the latest dance music and immersed herself in the spa tub.
((()))
At that time, Ha Joon was bustling around with a determination to come home early no matter what.
He would have wanted to keep his word since he had said it, but he might have also hurried because he wanted to see her sooner.
“Uh? You came home early today. Have you eaten?”
“I have.”
He had quickly eaten chicken breast and salad in his office. Even dinner time felt too precious. He usually adjusted his diet like this when his abs started to fade.
“What about Seo Ah?”
“She seemed to be taking a spa earlier…”
A spa? Ha Joon’s body heated up all over.
He said he would come home early, but was she preparing to do it together? Because they couldn’t do it in Jeju Island, was she trying to do it now?
“You can clock out now.”
After sending Yeon Suk home, Ha Joon hurriedly went upstairs.
But, as soon as he opened the door, he was taken aback by the loud music.
It seemed like she had completely given up her prim and proper concept.
Anyway, it seemed unlikely that she’d have this kind of music on while intending to spa alone….
As he stripped off his clothes, he mulled over the decision. Should he join or not?
The thought of her surprised and flustered face if he joined made his decision rather swift.
As soon as he undressed completely, he wrapped a towel around his waist and strode into the bathroom.
Without any hesitation, he opened the door. Seo Ah, who was sitting against the door, seemed unaware of his arrival due to the loud music.
And he observed her for a moment, enjoying the lively music.
Humming the song, nodding her head to the beat, waving her arms as if dancing he watched her doing all these things.
‘Where has that seventeenyearold girl gone? How can she resist doing these things?’
“Ahem.”
As a courtesy, he cleared his throat.
She might get upset if he suddenly intrudes. Even between couples, privacy is a thing.
But still, Seo Ah, engrossed in the music, showed no reaction.
Eventually, as he approached, she finally turned to look.
“Eek!”
Seo Ah let out a loud yelp, clearly startled.
Ha Joon found her surprised expression more adorable than he had anticipated.
And without any hesitation, he stepped into the bathtub.
He wanted to pull Seo Ah into his arms and sit down, but concerned she might feel uncomfortable, he took a seat across from her instead.
Then the water started to slosh heavily and, as the water overflowed, Seo Ah’s pupils shook with terror.
It was because she was anxious that the overflowing water and the bath foam might also drain away.
If that happened, her bare body would be exposed.
Just in case, she huddled up, hugging her knees. She was also worried about their skins touching.
Luckily, the sloshing stopped.
“If you’re going to be that surprised, it makes me embarrassed.”
“You…you came early…”
“I told you I would come early.”
Seo Ah’s pupils shook wildly. Had he really come early to keep his promise? Was it not just because he had finished work early?
“Do you like this kind of music?”
Ah! The music! She had forgotten about the raucous music playing, which went well with her boisterous seventeenyearold persona but didn’t fit her dignified concept.
In a rush, she reached out to grab her phone, but startled, Seo Ah huddled up again.
Her chest almost popped out above the foam.
Ha Joon nearly lost his composure for a moment.
He had assumed, of course, that she would be wearing a swimsuit.

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.
