At the moment when Juwon and Suji’s eyes met, Suji’s gaze wavered for a moment. But in an instant, she was the same cheerful Suji, shaking hands with Juwon as well.
After looking at Suji like that for a few seconds, Juwon turned his head slightly and glanced away. At this moment, a fleeting disappointment flashed across Suji’s face.
“Suji, sit here. Here.”
Minwoo gestured by patting his side, but Suji went to sit next to Heeyeong.
Seeing this, Minwoo’s expression changed to a disappointed one.
“Hey, Minsuji. How did you become even more beautiful in the time I didn’t see you? Did you join a modeling agency instead of working at a company?”
“Ah, anyone can be a model, right? Don’t make me dizzy. I’m not a plane. It’s nauseating.”
Suji, with a refreshing laughter, responded, and Minwoo sitting across from her expressed a dazzling look.
“For three years, how busy were you that not even a wrinkle appeared on your nose?”
“I’ve been busy with this and that. Recently, I moved to another company and was too preoccupied adapting there.”
“Is that so? Which company did you move to?”
“Oh, I moved to the finance team of an H Group affiliate.”
“Wow. Are you really so attractive that even your abilities are impressive? Seriously?”
“What’s with the impressive abilities? Isn’t it enough if I’m the most popular one here? Isn’t it?”
“It is. Your face is so attractive.”
“What are you saying?”
As Suji smiled with her eyes, the male colleagues also burst into laughter.
Juhun handed Suji a newly arrived 500cc glass and asked casually, “Suji, if you live so busy, how will you manage to date properly?”
For a moment, everyone’s attention focused on Suji due to the indifferent question.
Someone among the alumni had mentioned seeing Suji dining with a handsome man at an upscale restaurant a year ago.
For a brief moment, a smile seemed to disappear from Suji’s face, but she quickly smiled again and answered, “Can I date alone? I need a partner to date.”
With that statement, an unmistakable joy began to bloom in the eyes of the male colleagues.
“Oh, really? So, are you single now?”
“Yeah, I’m single.”
Answering like that, Suji glanced at Juwon for a moment, but Juwon, with an indifferent gaze, continued to sip his beer.
“Come on, Suji, Juwon, it’s been a while since we went out. Let’s do a round of soju for our international friendship. Cheers!”
Hojun shouted while raising his glass, and everyone followed suit, cheering happily.
As it approached 11 PM, one by one, the colleagues began to get drunk.
The three who had been drinking rapidly since the first round were already intoxicated, and those who had drunk a lot at the second round were becoming less talkative due to their rising intoxication.
“Hey, let’s go for the third round. We should go for the third round.”
The most drunk Minwoo said with a gaze that couldn’t be understood.
“Hey, he’s drunk. Let’s send him home.”
“Who said I’m drunk? I’m perfectly fine. Hey!”
Minwoo answered with a raised hand and a shaky voice, looking in some direction.
“Hey, I think I should go home now. My husband keeps calling.”
Miran collected the remaining money and handed it to Hojun.
“I think we should send those three home, and these two shouldn’t drink anymore.”
“Well, let’s all just get up. We can take a taxi for the drunk ones.”
“Okay, let’s do that. It’s probably better.”
After Hojun settled the bill, everyone got up from their seats.
Leading the intoxicated ones outside, a chilly wind blew, giving them goosebumps on their arms.
Trying to persuade Minwoo, who insisted on not going home, along with the intoxicated ones, they barely calmed them down and sent them off in taxis.
After sending everyone off, only Hojun and Juwon, Heeyeong and Suji remained.
“How about it? Should we go for the third round, just the four of us?”
“No, we should go in now.”
At Juwon’s words, Heeyeong’s expression instantly turned disappointed.
“Hey, after two years, you show up, and now you want to go in already?”
“I’m tired.”
“This guy, look at him. The healthiest one is already tired?”
“For two years, he’s aged.”
Hojun stared at Juwon with an expression of disbelief as he spoke indifferently. However, Suji, who had been giving Juwon complex looks since earlier, was noticed.
It seemed like they should leave the place for Suji, who appeared to have a lot to say. However, since Juwon said he wouldn’t go to the third round, Heeyeong wouldn’t go either. Also, Suji wouldn’t just drink alone with him. Considering all this, Hojun decided it was time to go home.
“Well then, let’s part ways here. Hey, you, make sure to come to the next gathering. Got it?”
“I got it.”
“We’ll go until the fourth round then. Got it?”
“By then, you might be even older.”
“Oh! Really, this guy! If you can’t speak properly!”
When Hojun pretended to swing his fist at Juwon’s stomach, Juwon laughed.
“I got it. Until the fourth round. Okay.”
“Is that a promise?”
“Yeah. Go on inside.”
Hojun glanced at Suji and then tapped Heeyeong’s arm.
“Hey, since you’re going in the same direction as me, let’s take a taxi together.”
“Why should I?”
When Heeyeong spoke with an unsatisfied look, Hojun grabbed Heeyeong’s arm.
“In this difficult time, shouldn’t we save on taxi fare to live well?”
“What nonsense is that? Why?”
Glaring at Heeyeong with a fishy eye, Hojun didn’t care and pulled Heeyeong, moving their steps.
“Then, let’s go. You two, go in safely!”
Waving to Hojun, and with an irritated face, Heeyeong, being dragged away, gradually got farther away. After they left, only Suji and Juwon remained.
Juwon, with an indifferent expression, unintentionally looked at Suji, who had been staring at him with a complicated gaze since earlier.
“Well then, go inside safely.”
As Juwon was about to turn away, Suji suddenly reached out and grabbed Juwon’s arm.
With a sudden movement, Juwon looked down at Suji’s hand holding his arm.
And slowly turning his head, looking at Suji, who seemed tense with a slightly opened mouth.
“What is it?”
As Juwon asked in a nonchalant voice, Suji swallowed dry saliva and cautiously opened her mouth.
“Um, Juwon. Shall we… have a cup of coffee?”
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.
