“I-I just wanted to mention that Jihoo has become brighter. W-well, I’m busy, so I’ll go now. Have a good time.”
The teacher, unable to hide her trembling eyes, hastily left after uttering a series of disjointed words.
“Why on earth is she acting like that?”
Minje held his chin with a genuinely puzzled expression.
You really don’t know? It’s because of you! Hayeon couldn’t bring herself to say that and made a stifled sound.
“Well, well, let’s take our seats quickly. The good spots are already taken, as you can see.”
Junwon gestured with a confident voice for them to move quickly.
On one side of the field, there were mats arranged for each family to sit on, but the spots close to the operation headquarters, where the games were being conducted, were already filled with people.
“It might be better to go to a quieter place.”
Seeing Minje walking towards the most secluded spot, Junwon mumbled, “Well, that’s true,” and scratched his head.
Hayeon held Jihoo’s hand and walked behind the two men, and whenever they passed by, there were whispers. The expressions of the ajummas seemed to shout, “I’ve seen it all.”
Minje, with his distinct features and tall stature, knew he attracted attention wherever he went. Still, Junwon was unexpected.
“Now that I think about it, he’s quite handsome.”
Hayeon, who had been overshadowed by Minje’s shadow, realized only today that Junwon’s appearance could appeal to many women.
Junwon, with his long tied hair and glasses, was shorter than Minje, but compared to others, he was by no means short. The unreal sight of the two walking side by side was like a runway model show.
“Oh, there. Those good-looking people who catch your eye. Where did they come from?”
“Well, you know. The one who runs the art gallery…”
“Ah, the one who raises the child alone?”
“But who is that woman?”
“I heard she came as a babysitter…”
Look at them all. I can hear everything. Although Hayeon felt like she was being chewed up as a side dish, she endured it for Jihoo’s sake. The child’s face sparkled with anticipation for the sports day.
Once they settled in a corner, a host came up on stage and greeted the audience. The host, perhaps from a professional event management company, had a very smooth way of speaking.
“All right, our friends. If we have a sports day without warm-up exercises, our muscles might ache. So, before we start the sports day, let’s do some warm-up exercises. Grandmas, grandpas, unnie, oppa, aunt, uncle, please come forward.”
At the host’s gesture, people rushed forward and gathered on the field. Energetic music played non-stop from the speakers.
“Now, form groups of two for stretching.”
Upon the host’s words, Hayeon naturally assumed she would do the warm-up exercises with Jihoo and looked at the child. However, sensing Hayeon’s gaze, Jihoo quickly grabbed Junwon’s hand and said, “I want to do it with him.”
“Huh? Are you going to do the warm-up exercises with the gentleman?”
In a completely unexpected situation, Hayeon stood there with a bewildered expression, her mouth agape.
“Well, there’s nothing we can do.”
Junwon shrugged his shoulders and immediately started stretching with Jihoo. Now, only Minje and Hayeon were left.
The two, whose eyes met, couldn’t hide their embarrassment. Since they were the only ones standing still on the field without doing the stretching, it was inevitable that they would catch people’s attention.
“Did you two come here after having a fight as a couple?”
When the host made a joke, laughter erupted from here and there.
“No, we’re not a couple…!”
Hearing Hayeon’s attempt to refute, Minje, who had let out a long sigh, stopped her.
“Just do it.”
Caught off guard by the sudden grip on her wrist, Hayeon couldn’t resist and stood facing Minje with trembling eyes.
“Just pretend like you’re doing it roughly.”
“Yes, yes.”
Once she awkwardly placed her hands on his shoulders, her heart started pounding wildly.
They had placed their hands on each other’s shoulders and were bending their waists for stretching. In the process of bending their waists, their heads touched a few times.
Gasp! Unintentionally, Hayeon took a deep breath. She hadn’t realized that stretching could be such a strenuous exercise for the heart.
This time, the host instructed them to face each other, link arms backward, and clasp hands. Why choose such a close posture like this? Hayeon blamed the annoying host with a glare.
Due to the nature of the family sports day, they deliberately conducted these kinds of stretches to promote camaraderie. However, to Hayeon, everything seemed like a strategy to embarrass her.
“You might get hurt, so just slightly bend your waist.”
Since there was a significant height difference between Minje and Hayeon, he thought if she bent her waist a little, her feet wouldn’t leave the ground. It was a calculation to reduce the weight applied to Hayeon. But, did his feet really leave the ground?
“What? What did you say?”
Having missed Minje’s words due to nervous tension, Hayeon belatedly understood what he said and lowered him to the ground.
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.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
