He must have heard something. If not directed by Yu-jun himself, his secretary or manager must have been responsible.
‘He chased me here because I took Seon Woo-jin’s car?’
The emotions were indescribable. How absurd that he, already betrothed, showed up at her house in the morning!
But she couldn’t argue the hypocrisy of Kim Yu-jun. Evicting him was the priority.
“That’s because…”
“Why don’t you explain it slowly?”
She had been complacent, thinking he’d let it slide. Even as she tried to maintain composure, her eyes fluttered nervously.
“I hate to say this to a sick person.”
His voice tickled her ear, his tender stroking of her hair, and those sharp eyes that seemed to catch even the smallest lie. Ra-jin felt completely overwhelmed.
“Don’t you feel uncomfortable?”
“I’m sorry for worrying you.”
“Hmm. We’ll talk about the apology later.”
He shook his head slightly and lowered his face, his breath colder than ice.
“Running away from the hotel and then dodging the manager to get into that guy’s car, there must be a reason. Start from there.”
It seemed taking Seon Woo-jin’s car was the final straw. Pretending to be sick was a saving grace.
Despite the trembling rage incited by his gentle voice and hand, Ra-jin breathed deeply.
“Show me at least a minimum amount of respect, Ra-jin.”
He was always like this.
Whenever something displeased him, he would probe incessantly and, if still unsatisfied, demand ‘again’ until he felt content.
An inconsequential matter had snowballed into a mistake and then a fault. How relentlessly he pressed until she was mentally knocked out. He neither accepted early apologies nor multiple ones.
His timing and sincerity.
If they weren’t met, he accused her of making mere excuses.
“Do you need more time to think?”
“I mean…”
“Ha. I can almost hear your brain working.”
“It’s not like that.”
“Then why can’t you speak? Did you start liking Seon Woo-jin during the shoot? Is that why you rejected me?”
The answer Kim Yu-jun wanted was already predetermined.
She just had to cut it short and tell him, but the words wouldn’t come out. Although the command was clearly input in her mind, like a bug-ridden program, Ra-jin was speechless.
‘Don’t be difficult and speak up. Don’t put Seon Woo-jin in a tough spot.’
“Seon Woo-jin has a girlfriend. They’re secretly dating, that’s why it’s not public.”
“Who is it?”
“That is…”
“You think I’m going to gossip?”
Reluctant to spill a colleague’s secret but considering Seon Woo-jin’s future, it was better than getting on Kim Yu-jun’s bad side.
“It’s a supporting actress in this drama. I can’t say the name.”
Skeptical, Yu-jun’s gaze followed her tightly. Left with no choice, she played her last card.
“In fact, I knew about the change to Hotel HS right before leaving.”
Frustrated, she heaved a hot sigh.
“It annoyed me that the manager didn’t do anything, knowing my unease with Director Jin Jae-i.”
Adding that she didn’t want to take the manager’s car, she realized sometimes honest feelings were better than numerous excuses.
“It was tough dealing with Director Jin Jae-i’s invitation to her room and the talkative director’s weird comments.”
“What did she say?”
“She said she’s holding back. That it would be fun once her patience runs out.”
Yu-jun’s eyes twisted in a moment.
‘Am I not inciting a fight?’
As much as anyone, Ra-jin supported Kim Yu-jun and Jin Jae-i’s marriage. A firm relationship between them meant a way out for her.
Hiding her face in her hands, she let tears flow, as if on cue for a perfect scene in a movie.
“This treatment hurts too much.”
She blurted out any memorized lines, talking incoherently.
Meanwhile, Kim Yu-jun didn’t stroke her hair or add words.
He was silent, as if vanished. Then, with a faint laugh, his voice came through.
“Not much longer now.”
Yu-jun gently pulled Ra-jin’s hands from her face.
“I’ll settle everything by the end of this year.”
Settle what?
“I’ll deal with Jin Jae-i, who trusts only in Haeseong, and my father, who looks down on me. Everything.”
She nearly blurted ‘No.’ He continued, caressing her moist eyes, speaking so tenderly.
“Once everything’s perfectly finished, I’ll start with announcing our marriage.”
His fingers traced her cheeks and then gently tugged her long hair. His lips brushed the tips of her hair as he spoke the promise.
The moment he kissed, Ra-jin’s breath was cut short.
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.
