Dohyuk stepped into the bathtub and extended his hand.
“I-I’m okay.”
Jae In was too embarrassed to take Dohyuk’s hand.
Struggling to get up on her own, Jae In suddenly stopped as she accidentally stepped on a shampoo bottle lying across the bathtub floor.
Drip, her foot slipped, causing Jae In’s body to sway backward.
“Ahh!”
Fortunately, Dohyuk swiftly wrapped his arms around Jae In’s waist and pulled her close to him.
Thud, thud.
Thud, thud.
Amidst the silence, the pounding of their hearts, seemingly about to burst, intertwined in their ears.
Buried deep in Dohyuk’s embrace, Jae In now felt his familiar scent tickling her senses, making her whole body tingle.
From behind his thin clothing, warmth emanated from his solid chest, like a wooden board.
She didn’t dislike it; in fact, she liked it so much that she didn’t want to let go.
Jae In was perplexed.
Breaking the silence, Dohyuk softly asked, “Seo Jae In, are you okay?”
“…Yes, I’m, I’m fine.”
“We can’t stay like this forever…”
A subtle tremor was evident in his gentle voice.
“What? Oh, I’m sorry!”
Startled, Jae In tried to pull away from Dohyuk’s embrace.
But at that moment, with her balance disrupted, Jae In grasped onto something for support.
“Oops, it’s cold!”
Suddenly, ice-cold water poured down from above.
It was Jae In grabbing the shower handle.
Both of them were soaked without a chance to avoid the cascading water.
Panic-stricken, Jae In reached out to turn off the water.
However, to her dismay, this time, hot water gushed out.
“Oops, it’s hot! Team Leader! Can you please do something?”
Desperately, Jae In tried the handle again.
“No!”
With a regretful cry, cold water once again poured down.
Dohyuk quickly turned off the water while cradling Jae In’s face against his chest, her eyes closed due to the cascading stream.
Jae In, whose forehead had been pressed against Dohyuk’s chest, finally raised her head, wiping the moisture from her face.
Drenched from head to toe, Dohyuk gazed down at Jae In with moist eyes.
In the midst of it all, a single thought kept crossing Jae In’s mind,
“Is it because we’re soaked? Team Leader’s gaze seems even more intense than usual.”
As if he were the protagonist from a romantic comic book that had kept her awake during her childhood.
Thud.
A thick towel fell onto Jae In’s oblivious head.
“You’ll catch a cold if we keep this up.”
“Oh, I’m sorry!”
Dohyuk’s words jolted Jae In back to reality.
In the midst of this chaos, there was no room for daydreams.
In front of her stood Dohyuk, who had already finished showering and changing clothes due to her, looking like a drenched rat.
“Team Leader, what should we do? I’m so sorry!”
He must be really furious, Jae In thought as she hurriedly used a towel to dry Dohyuk’s body.
“Seo Jae In, stop it!”
Dohyuk firmly grasped Jae In’s wrist as she diligently wiped his chest.
“No, I’m still sorry…”
Jae In looked at Dohyuk’s face and was taken aback.
Dohyuk’s face turned as red as a tomato, as if he could explode at any moment. He clenched one side of his lips tightly.
Dohyuk struggled to open his mouth.
“…I’m fine, but Seo Jae In…”
“What about me?”
It was only now that Jae In realized that her soaked thin clothes clung tightly to her body, revealing every curve.
“Ah! Ah!”
Very loudly,
For a very long time,
Jae In’s scream continued.
“Ahhhh! It hurts so much!”
Jae In wished she could just fade away like foam.
She didn’t even remember how she had returned to her room.
Not only had she sneaked into Dohyuk’s room, but she had also caused a scene.
She couldn’t bring herself to face him.
Having changed into dry clothes, Jae In lay on the bed writhing in embarrassment.
“I’m going crazy, I’m going crazy! Ah, what should I do, I’m so embarrassed!”
Even in the midst of this, the feeling of being in Dohyuk’s embrace without a solution came back vividly.
Ah, if only someone would invent a machine to erase memories.
Those pointless delusions kept continuing back then.
Ding.
A message arrived on her phone.
Casually checking the message, Jae In was startled and dropped her phone to the floor.
It was Dohyuk.
Yes, that’s how it should be.
Dohyuk was not the type to just let things slide.
In 10 minutes.
Jae In gathered her knees on the sofa in Dohyuk’s room and sat somewhat huddled in.
Amidst the overwhelming embarrassment, her head was lowered deeply.
In the meantime, Jae In’s lost composure had returned to its place.
No matter the condition.
Dohyuk sat on the broken side of the sofa with his arms crossed and looked at her.
“Seo Jae In, are you okay?”
“Team leader, I’m sorry. I have no words to offer.”
“No excuses?”
“What?”
Was he asking about the incident with the hot water earlier?
Could it be that he called her to ask about that?
Jae In, who was already quite tense, was bewildered by the unexpected question.
“It’s okay…”
“Thank goodness.”
Dohyuk said with a soft smile.
“But why did you come into my room?”
The moment of truth had arrived.
Jae In had rehearsed her response several times before entering this room.
No matter how she thought about it, there was no way to explain it other than being honest.
Jae In raised her head and stared directly into Dohyuk’s eyes.
“To begin with, it’s entirely my fault for entering Team Leader’s room without permission. I’m really sorry.”
“I already knew that.”
“But there was something I really wanted to check.”
“What is it?”
“Team Leader, this morning you left your room fully dressed for work, so I was curious. Is there really no hot water in this bathroom?”
Jae In was very curious about what Dohyuk would say.
“Well…”
Dohyuk touched his forehead with his finger and fell into thought.
Dohyuk, dressed in black loungewear, leaned casually on the sofa, evoking the image of a black panther. After a moment of silence, Dohyuk finally spoke.
“……It’s quite intriguing.”
“Indeed?”
Jae In’s eyes sparkled as she raised her voice. With Dohyuk’s agreement, her actions were now justified.
So, Dohyuk.
Why don’t you try to explain?
“…….”
“…….”
As we waited for Dohyuk’s response, something unexpected happened. He seemed to have no intention of saying anything.
Hey, Dohyuk?
Is “It’s quite intriguing” all you’ve got?
“Um… Team Leader, don’t you have anything else to say to me?”
“What do you mean?”
Dohyuk had a look of not understanding at all.
Wow, really?
Is he just going to let it slide?
“Team Leader, you mentioned that the hot water in your room was broken yesterday, so you used the bathroom next to my room for a shower.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Team Leader, you mentioned yesterday that the hot water in your room was broken, so you took a shower in the bathroom next to my room.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“But, as you may recall from experiencing a downpour earlier, the hot water in your bathroom was flowing perfectly.”
“Hmm. It was working fine.”
“And when you left this morning, you also showered in your room, didn’t you?”
Dohyuk nodded slightly as if agreeing.
“In conclusion, the bathroom in your room has never had any issues with hot water!”
Jae In exclaimed triumphantly, like a detective unraveling the trick in a mystery novel. She wanted to somehow catch Dohyuk off guard and ensure that he wouldn’t engage in such absurd actions again.
However, contrary to her expectations, there was not even a hint of surprise on Dohyuk’s face.
So, in order to avoid such unreasonable actions again.
However.
Contrary to expectations, there was not even a trace of surprise on Dohyuk’s face.
There was only a subtle smile around his lips, impossible to decipher.
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.
