“Anyway, Seo Jaein, congratulations on graduating from your first kiss! It took quite a while.”
At Yura’s exaggerated reaction, Jaein’s face blushed as if it were on fire.
“C-Congratulations, what…”
“Then, are you dating Manager Cha now?”
“Manager Cha suggested that, but I refused.”
“Why? Was it because of Manager Cha that a confession from such a handsome man made no impression on you?”
“Oh, no. When I see other women with him, it makes me uncomfortable. But when asked if I like Manager Cha, I don’t know. Maybe I’m just attracted to his appearance.”
Since it’s already exposed, Jaein hesitated and mumbled her complicated feelings.
“Now that you’ve dated, you can’t help it if it was only because of his appearance. What can you do? If it’s still awkward and difficult to be with him, does it make sense to be in a relationship?”
“Hmm…”
“The world we live in is so different that it doesn’t seem like it will work out. Anyway, when you go to Japan, it will be over, right? So, why start something like this? But still, when I see Manager Cha’s face, I’m shaken. Anyway, it’s too confusing. What should I do?”
There was no reply, and there was silence.
“Yura, are you listening? Hello?”
Only then did Yura’s unexpectedly serious voice flow.
“Jaein, there is one good solution in such situations…”
As expected, the love expert Choi Yura!
Jaein’s ears were perked up with anticipation.
“What’s that?”
―You should go all the way with Manager Cha.
“What?”
―I thought about it carefully. Your confusion is because you haven’t tried everything. There’s nothing lacking in appearance anymore. Then your feelings will become clear. Whether to continue or not, think about it at that time.
Jaein felt as if she had been hit on the head with a hammer.
“Choi Yura, do you want to die?”
―Why? It’s advice that comes from my hard-earned experience.
Oops, I imagined something terrible!
“Hey, stop!”
―Whoa, calm down. Since Manager Cha seems like a nice person, give it a try.
Yura chuckled.
Jaein quickly hung up the phone and covered her face with both hands.
“Ugh, it’s my fault for having expectations!”
It felt like she had gone to pick a flower and ended up with ten thorns.
Jaein, with a face that turned as red as if she were about to explode, sighed.
“What should I do?”
Meanwhile, Seongjun sat on the living room sofa, pressing his throbbing head.
The moment he saw Yura’s name on his mobile phone, his heart pounded as if Yura had revealed their relationship to Jaein.
Because they were close friends, Yura would have surely told Jaein that she and Seongjun were dating.
Seongjun had declared that he was dating Yura on his own, and since then, they had been talking on the phone every night.
‘How did it end up like this?’
Drrrrring.
Amidst the complicated thoughts, a message arrived on his mobile phone.
Seongjun took out his private phone used for personal matters and checked the message.
Deep wrinkles formed on Seongjun’s forehead.
‘This is going to be a headache.’
Last Monday night.
An hour after Yura entered Seongjun’s rooftop apartment, actually Seongjun’s.
Seongjun and Yura were sitting facing each other, grilling meat, and drinking beer.
After tasting the miso soup and side dishes made by Seongjun, Yura showered him with compliments.
“Oh! It’s so delicious. You’re handsome, and you cook well too. If you open a restaurant, customers will line up.”
“Well, it’s just…”
“I could only make ramen or fried eggs before, so my ideal type was a man who can cook well. We really met well.”
Because of Yura, who was looking at him with even more fascinated eyes than before, Seongjun felt regret.
‘I should have made it taste bad. So that she loses interest completely.’
However, that was something Seongjun’s innate epicurean pride wouldn’t allow.
Due to Yura, who was staring at him with sparkling eyes, regret flooded Seongjun.
“Is someone who communicates well like Jihoon Oppa the first for me? Art, literature, society, philosophy… How can he know everything so well?”
“I just looked into this and that because I have a lot of free time since I don’t work.”
“Jihoon Oppa is versatile, so if he sets his mind to it, he can do anything. I have a good sense. So, you can trust me.”
Yura clenched her fists as if cheering on.
Whether he had immersed himself in the role of being unemployed, Seongjun felt somehow sentimental at those words.
As Seongjun gazed with complicated feelings, Yura suddenly clapped her hands.
“Oh, I almost forgot.”
Afterward, she got up, brought the delivery boxes, and started opening them one by one.
Confused Seongjun stopped Yura.
“It’s a friend, so can I just open them?”
“Oh, these are actually ones I sent. I needed an excuse to come here, and just in case, I bought some couple items.”
“What?”
Seongjun was properly halted by Choi Yura.
Dumbfounded and at a loss for words, Seongjun had a very satisfied expression on his face.
The delivery boxes contained couple mufflers, couple knit shirts, and couple bracelets made with sky-blue and pink threads.
“Oh, don’t misunderstand. I bought these couple items because it’s Jihoon Oppa’s first time.”
Yura tilted her head slightly and smiled mischievously.
Facing her sparkling eyes above her blushing cheeks, Seongjun’s mouth involuntarily curved upward.
Fluttering.
In the third year of abstaining from dating, Seongjun’s heart responded after a long time.
Yura had a charm that was different from any other woman he had met before.
It was like reading a detective novel with unpredictable twists waiting, you know? At that time, when Seongjun was bewildered by the sudden change in his feelings, Yura approached him.
Seongjun twitched and blushed as Yura came close.
“Why, why?”
“Jihoon Oppa, wait a moment.”
Yura swiftly put a bracelet on Seongjun’s wrist.
“This is a wish bracelet I got for us to meet well. You mustn’t take it off until it naturally comes off. Got it?”
Yura laughed brightly, showing Seongjun the bracelet on his wrist.
‘This is really going as she pleases…’
Seongjun chuckled while playing with the bracelet on his wrist. However, he soon let out a deep sigh and shook his head.
‘Stop, stop! Let’s get a hold of ourselves.’
Seongjun let out another sigh filled with regret and stood up.
‘I should stop here. Before it gets any later…’
How much time had passed?
Jaein felt a warm sensation on her forehead.
When she managed to open her heavy eyelids, Dohyuk’s face came into view.
He was still wearing his coat, as if he had come to see her as soon as he finished work.
“Ah, Team Leader is here?”
“Oh no, did I wake you up?”
“…I need to get up now.”
“Sorry for coming in without permission. I was worried because there was no answer even when I called…”
Jaein became aware of the fact that she was alone with Dohyuk in her room and felt strangely awkward.
“I-it’s okay.”
Dohyuk, still with his hand on her forehead, spoke.
“It seems like your fever has gone down a bit… Did you take the medicine?”
“…Yes.”
Jaein felt Dohyuk’s large hand, which showed no intention of leaving her forehead. Although it was burdensome, she could feel his concern, and her heart fluttered.
“What about Director Kim?”
“He left a little while ago.”
“Thanks to Director Kim, I feel much better.”
As Jaein tried to sit up, Dohyuk finally removed his hand from her forehead.
Then, with a gentle touch, he grabbed her shoulder and laid her back down.
Due to this, as the distance between their faces narrowed, a familiar fragrance clung to Jaein’s face.
Jaein’s heart became agitated again.
“You don’t look fine at all. Just lie down.”
“I’m okay…”
Jaein tried to smile as if nothing was wrong, but she ended up freezing.
It was because Dohyuk was staring at her black eyes as if he were mesmerized.
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.
