If she had known it would come to this, she would have fled when the director died, but now there were too many eyes watching her, making it impossible to escape.
People who could make her disappear without a trace.
But, if she managed to get them divorced, she could earn as much money as the risk she was taking.
‘I’ll leave Korea right after this. Just need to solve this. You can do it, Choi Young-ju.’
Honestly, until last week, she was confident.
Since Ha Joon and Seo Ah couldn’t stand each other, she thought it would be easy to get them divorced.
She was so pleased when a conflict arose over their sleeping arrangements just days after the wedding.
That’s when she had scared Seo Ah.
Told her that avoiding sleeping together wasn’t perfect support and to keep rejecting him or let him conquer her until he lost interest.
Continued rejection would escalate the conflict, and if conquered, Seo Ah would live in fear every day.
Having lived without even knowing the ‘man’ in ‘man,’ how would it feel to be embraced by someone she hated?
She had planned to create a decisive misunderstanding when they naturally drifted apart…
But had they developed a fondness for each other in such a short time?
It seemed urgent to act before they grew closer.
[Star icon]At the same time, Ha Joon was finishing checking the black box memory and talking to Seok-hoon.
They were sharing what they had confirmed.
“Dash] I’ve put suspicious movements in the important folder. Choi Young-ju was filmed twice at night being taken away by someone.”
“Taken away?”
Ha Joon’s face turned serious as he opened the important folder and checked the video.
“Dash] Yes, I can’t see who it is because of the angle. I’ll look into nearby CCTV and other vehicles’ black boxes.”
“Could that person have debts?”
Ha Joon didn’t mention Young-ju’s name. He was being cautious, in case Seo Ah heard.
The English translation of the provided Korean passage, maintaining the names and genders of the characters as specified:
“Dash] No. I don’t have any debts. I was taken care of by Yu Young Group since I left the orphanage. It might be someone who has a grudge against me personally, or someone who’s being threatened to cause discord with the director.”
“Is there any other suspicious activity?”
“Dash] No special calls or meetings. He often left the car at night, as if aware of the black box, and was filmed coming back.”
“Secretly follow him. He must not notice at all.”
“Dash] Yes. And as you may have noticed, sir, the madam’s voice used to be firm, but recently, it seems, no, it’s certain that she’s been wavering.”
Seok-hoon was worried. He feared Ha Joon might be disheartened. The Seo Ah he knew still seemed to like Ha Joon.
Ha Joon felt it too, but the idea that Seo Ah was considering divorce shocked him so much that he couldn’t hide his unease that his perception of Seo Ah might not be real.
“Yes. Please keep up the good work.”
After finishing the call, Ha Joon checked the time and got up.
He went to the room as quietly as possible, wondering if Seo Ah was still sleeping.
Fortunately, she was sitting on the bed.
Ha Joon’s pupils quivered slightly as he faced Seo Ah’s clear face illuminated by the bright sunlight.
“You’re up?”
“Yes…….”
Her slightly messy hair and slightly swollen, blushing face seemed unbearably lovely.
“Hmm, how’s your stomach?”
“I’m fine.”
“Let’s wash up, eat, and then go on a date.”
“What?”
Seeing her surprised expression made Ha Joon’s heart ache.
Why should a date be such a surprise between a married couple?
In truth, he had heard something while checking the black box memory.
“Dash] Our lady never got to date properly before getting married. She wanted to go on ordinary dates with a boyfriend. Looking for nice restaurants, watching movies, going for drives, visiting amusement parks.”
“Dash] She can date after the divorce.”
“Dash] Divorce isn’t easy, and it could take years if it goes to court. Her prime twenties will just pass by.”
“Dash] That’s why getting married now is better. If it had been five years later as planned, she would have spent her thirties like that.”
So, from today, Ha Joon intended to do whatever she wanted, anything she desired.
Seo Ah would be furious if she knew he secretly checked the black box memory, but having heard it, he couldn’t do nothing.
It would have been better if he had investigated earlier,
[Star icon]Ha Joon was taken aback when he saw Seo Ah, ready to go out.
The skirt that covered half her thighs and the dress that revealed her collarbone.
It wasn’t too revealing, but to Ha Joon, it seemed too much.
“It’s not the kind of place for a skirt… How about wearing pants?”
Usually, Ha Joon would have firmly told her to wear pants, but he wanted to let Seo Ah do what she wanted, so he was cautious.
“Ah… Where are we going?”
“It’s a secret.”
Seo Ah blushed at Ha Joon’s playful expression. But where exactly would a place requiring pants be?
“Ah! Are we going to a horse-riding club??”
“That’s not it, but do you want to go horse-riding?”
“No, I’m fine with anywhere…….”
The English translation of the provided Korean passage, maintaining the names and genders of the characters as specified:
“It’s going to be late at night, so it’s better to dress warmly.”
Seo Ah had no way of knowing that Ha Joon absolutely did not want her to wear revealing clothes.
The thought of dating Ha Joon until late at night made Seo Ah’s heart race.
After some preparation, they finally got into the car.
A different driver was waiting in place of Seok-hoon, who was busy looking into Young-ju.
“Is it still a secret where we’re going?”
As Seo Ah asked with an excited face, Ha Joon pretended not to know and opened his mouth.
“Do you like movies?”
Seo Ah had repeatedly mentioned wanting to go to the cinema recently, so the answer was obvious.
“Yes! Are we going to watch a movie?”
Ha Joon’s lips curved into a smile at her enthusiasm, more than he expected.
And he unwittingly brought up his own story.
“It’s my first time going…….”
Usually, Ha Joon would have thought it unnecessary to say and would have kept quiet, but he wanted her to know. That she was his first in everything.
Seo Ah’s eyes widened in surprise.
True, he hadn’t dated women before, so it made sense he hadn’t been to a cinema.
It didn’t seem like he’d go with male friends either, oh right. He had said he didn’t have real friends.
And he didn’t seem close enough with his family to go watch movies together…
Thinking this made Seo Ah feel strangely emotional. She forced a smile and moved her lips.
“It’ll be fun. If you like it today, let’s go often together.”
“Sure. Let’s do that.”
Ha Joon responded with a smile too.
Seo Ah’s heart fluttered pleasantly.
She had always told Young-ju. She wanted to watch movies with a boyfriend, to have ordinary dates, and in those fantasies, the boyfriend was always,
Ha Joon.
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.]
