“Wolf, wolf. Why is my skin so white?”
“That’s so I can pinch you.”
“Wolf, why is my hair so long?”
“That’s so I can pull it.”
“Then, wolf, why is my body so fragile?”
“That’s so I can knock you over.”
“And why am I so pretty, wolf?”
“That’s so I can eat you!”
Early Friday morning. In the Future Services Team office.
“Ugh! Ack!”
Thump! Thump! Running from the wolf, now a wall appears!
Waking up from her dream with convulsions, Soeun groaned and collapsed onto her desk.
Thirty minutes. She had fallen asleep for just a short while and dreamed.
In the dream, Soeun was on a stage like at a kindergarten recital, playing Red Riding Hood afflicted with princess disease. The wolf, disguised, was none other than Kim Taejun. Not Yang Heeuk, but Kim Taejun.
Tormented by her boss, Soeun had all sorts of dreams. She groaned, massaging her stiff shoulders.
Yesterday and today, Soeun had been working nonstop. She had worked until 4 AM yesterday, caught a quick nap at home, and then pulled an all-nighter at the office. Thus, the task Taejun had assigned was nearly complete. She had resolved to finish by 9 PM on Friday, but it seemed she could finish even earlier if she continued working through lunchtime and went up to the 7th floor.
Then it would be a happy Friday. She could go home early and sleep soundly.
Sleep well and go on the blind date tomorrow.
Her eyelids heavy as if they weighed a ton, Soeun, thinking of the exciting tomorrow, got up from her seat. After washing her face in the restroom, she felt somewhat refreshed. Soeun started her day, rolling her stiff shoulders.
[Star icon]Before going to work, Heeuk first stopped by Malhee’s hospital room. The morning, when the caregiver was away, was a convenient time to talk.
“Oh my, my son, what brings you here so early?”
Kim Malhee, a mother proud of her unmatched filial son. Her face lit up with joy as she recognized Heeuk entering the hospital room.
“Have you had breakfast?”
“I ate a bit. I don’t have much appetite these days.”
“You still need to eat well.”
“Ah, yes. No one worries about me except for my son.”
Heeuk, smiling lightly, approached and took Malhee’s hand.
“Mom, I have something to tell you.”
“What is it? Tell me.”
“I broke up with Soeun.”
“……How did that happen? Is it because of… Heejin’s blood type?”
“Well, one thing led to another.”
“Did you initiate the breakup?”
“No.”
“Then, did she suggest it first?”
“Yes.”
“Goodness! How dare she suggest breaking up first! And then?”
Malhee’s face, which had been dark, flushed with anger upon hearing Heeuk’s response.
“So, we broke up.”
“She didn’t demand money or anything when breaking up, did she?”
“Soeun isn’t that kind of person.”
“Still, you never know with people. She went crazy when she found out Heejin’s blood type was O.”
Malhee seemed not quite satisfied, sighing heavily and grinding her teeth repeatedly.
“You should have gotten a written agreement to prevent her from saying anything different later.”
“Don’t worry, Mom. I’m a lawyer, she can’t fight me.”
Heeuk tried to calm down the agitated Malhee.
Having a mother who unconditionally took his side without asking what he did wrong was reassuring.
“If she contacts you, don’t respond, just let me know. I’ll handle it.”
“……It’s for the best, right?”
“Of course. It’s for the best.”
“Oh my, if that’s what you feel, I’m happy too. Every time I saw her, I felt so sorry for you.”
Malhee, as if finally able to share her pent-up thoughts, unloaded them with relief.
“I should be grateful since she donated her liver, but being raised without parents, she seemed a bit like a leech, and I just couldn’t grow fond of her. She was so burdensome that my recovery was delayed. Ah, it’s a good thing it’s over. Really good.”
Hearing his mother’s words, Heeuk felt even more confident in his decision. He and Hansoeun were not a compatible couple. Hansoeun should have been grateful, but she was too dissatisfied.
So, it’s all for the best. Everything.
“But it’s strange, isn’t it? She rejects you, where does she think she’s going by breaking up first? She’s got nothing.”
As Malhee spoke, Heeuk nodded in agreement, then suddenly hesitated.
The image of Kim Taejun and Hansoeun embracing in front of the hotel came to mind.
…That couldn’t be. How could someone like Hansoeun be with Kim Taejun?
It was something that had been bothering him for days.
Heeuk shook his head to dispel the thought and changed the subject.
“Never mind her. Mom, I have something else to tell you.”
This was the really important news.
“You know Hyunji, right? Choi Hyunji. She likes me.”
Surprised by the unexpected news, Malhee asked with wide eyes.
“That lawyer? She likes you?”
“That’s why she even visited you at the hospital, despite her busy schedule. Right after breaking up with Soeun, I started dating her.”
“My goodness, two pieces of good news! Our son is so capable! Women just can’t stay away.”
Malhee’s face, previously clouded with worry, now bloomed like a spring maiden, her eyes sparkling with delight.
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.]
