Juwon commented, looking at Ina’s apple-like, roundly styled hair.
Her cute face, perched like an apple, looked even cuter.
At his words, Ina’s cheeks turned bright red, and Juwon smiled with his eyes.
“Where shall we go for coffee? Any place you want to go?”
“Uh? Well, I can’t think of anywhere specific?”
“Then, how about going to the Han River? It’s a nice day, we can walk a bit and then have coffee.”
“Sounds good. Let’s do that.”
Juwon smiled and opened the passenger door for her.
“Thanks.”
As Ina passed by Juwon to get into the car, a faint citrus scent wafted through the air.
The fragrance made her already fluttering heart beat even faster.
During the drive to the nearby Han River Park, Ina was so nervous that she felt sweat in her palms. As Ina wiped her palms, Juwon’s car entered the Han River Park.
After parking in an inner spot, the two got out of the car.
The Han River Park at 5:30 PM on a Sunday was brimming with people savoring the remaining weekend.
There were people walking, biking, and sitting on mats on the green grass, chatting leisurely.
Among them enjoying their relaxed weekend, Juwon and Ina joined in.
Walking side by side, looking at the Han River, Ina’s heart kept pounding and wouldn’t stop.
It was because she remembered Hyunju’s words that they had to come to a conclusion.
And Ina was also bothered by the woman who had called Juwon ‘oppa’ earlier on the phone.
Who was that woman, and why did she call Juwon ‘oppa’? As these thoughts crossed Ina’s mind, she inadvertently furrowed her brow, when suddenly Juwon grabbed her arm and gently pulled her.
“Huh?”
Startled, Ina looked at him and Juwon pointed forward, mentioning ‘bicycle’.
At the same time, a bicycle whizzed past right next to Ina.
“Ah. Th-thank you.”
Ina’s face turned red as she replied, feeling the warmth from Juwon’s hand holding her arm.
“What are you thinking about so deeply?”
“Uh? No, I wasn’t thinking about anything.”
“Really?”
Juwon looked at her as if it was strange, then let go of her arm and started walking again.
“I wanted to call you once but couldn’t. I’ve been working past 11 PM since Wednesday. I was worried you might be asleep.”
“11 PM?”
Ina looked at Juwon with a surprised expression.
“Yeah. There’s been some work at the company. Yesterday too, I went to the office and finished around 10 PM.”
“Wow. You went to work yesterday too? You must be really tired. Why didn’t you just go home and rest?”
It was a moment that made Ina’s previous worry, due to no calls from Juwon from Wednesday to Saturday, seem meaningless.
“No, I’m tired, but not to death. And actually…”
Juwon stopped walking, turned to look at Ina, and smiled gently.
“I really missed you.”
“…….”
Ina’s mouth opened slightly at Juwon’s honest words.
The sunset behind Juwon’s smiling face was staining the sky red.
The sky, turning beautiful hues in the sunlight, and the words of the beautiful man before her, shook Ina’s heart completely.
For some reason, Ina felt like she was about to cry.
The man before her, as beautiful as the sunset, had finally opened his heart.
In his own plain and simple tone, without adding or subtracting anything.
A strand of Ina’s hair, fluttering in the evening breeze, escaped.
Juwon reached out to tuck Ina’s hair behind her ear.
For a moment, their eyes met, and Juwon smiled again.
At that smile, Ina’s heart dropped with a thud.
She couldn’t hold back any longer.
“I, I also…….”
Just as Ina was about to pour out her heart, Juwon’s phone rang.
The timing of the phone ring left Ina’s eyes turning towards Juwon’s phone.
But Juwon’s gaze remained on Ina.
Juwon squinted his eyes and asked Ina.
“What were you about to say?”
“Huh?”
“You were about to say something.”
Ina swallowed hard as Juwon’s phone continued to ring.
“F-first, answer the phone.”
“It’s okay not to answer.”
Without looking, Juwon spoke firmly.
“Still, answer it. It might be important.”
Finally, Juwon sighed and answered the phone.
“Hello.”
And upon hearing the voice of the person on the other side, Juwon asked, “Who is this?”
As soon as the other person said something, Juwon asked in a dry voice.
“And why are you calling?”
Listening to Juwon’s business-like voice, Ina felt an inexplicable tension.
As the other person hesitated and said something, Juwon replied in a dry voice.
“I’m sorry, but I see no reason for us to meet privately.”
At those words, Ina’s eyes widened.
Who was the person on the phone that made Juwon say such a thing?
Looking at Juwon with anxious eyes, Juwon gave Ina a soft smile.
As if his eyes were saying there’s nothing to worry about.
Then, as the person on the phone hesitated and asked something, Juwon looked at Ina with a firm expression.
And then he lifted the corners of his mouth slightly and replied.
“Yes. There is someone. Someone I like.”
At those words, Ina’s heart sank heavily.
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.
