Geon’s eyes, mixed with jealousy, stared at Yeon Woo.
“Between me, you, and Ryu Bi Young, who is your closest friend?”
“…What?”
Yeon Woo, looking perplexed, raised her eyes to Geon.
“Who is your closest friend between the two?”
“…What?!”
Wide-eyed, Yeon Woo was startled this time.
Yeon Woo began to sort out in her mind what Geon’s words meant.
So, was this big guy asking who she was closer to, as if it were a question like who is better, mother or father?
Thinking it might be a joke, Yeon Woo stared straight into Geon’s eyes. However, what she faced was his serious gaze.
“Why does that matter?”
“It matters to me.”
In response to Yeon Woo’s probing question, Geon’s firm answer came back.
Geon had heard that Yeon Woo had other close friends. So, it was not surprising that there were several people close to her.
However, seeing Yeon Woo intimately interacting with someone else in front of him, Geon felt a surge of jealousy.
When Bi Young’s touch reached Yeon Woo, his anger boiled uncontrollably.
The fact that he was such a narrow-minded guy was the second issue.
To Geon, Yeon Woo was not only the first person but also the only person who had become his own.
Just as Yeon Woo might wish that she was the only person to him, was it greedy to want Yeon Woo to consider himself as the only person to her?
Yeon Woo sighed as she met Geon’s stubborn gaze, like dealing with a stubborn child.
Although she had lived without friends, it was too apparent that she had grown up without friends.
“I don’t have that kind of thing. How can friends compare themselves to each other?”
“Then is it okay for close friends to tenderly stroke each other’s bodies?”
Thinking again about Bi Young’s touch on Yeon Woo, Geon, once again, became displeased, snapping back his words.
If it was okay for friends, he wanted to revoke the agreement not to touch her even with a fingertip.
On the other hand, faced with Geon’s question, Yeon Woo bit her lips.
What does it mean when someone who stole my lips, even touched my face, says such things?
“Is it your standard to kiss a friend?”
“…!”
“Is it okay for you to kiss me, but not for the instructor to touch my face?”
Staring at Geon with both eyes, Yeon Woo said firmly, “Please speak properly. Why did you kiss me last night?”
Geon’s pupils shook at Yeon Woo’s straightforward question.
Now was not the time to argue about being friends or not.
Facing Yeon Woo directly and meeting her eyes, he once again wanted to hold her in his arms.
He wanted to steal her red lips, moving densely.
Why does the animalistic instinct keep boiling inside, even though it’s a place like this?
When Geon remained silent and just stared at her, feeling frustrated, Yeon Woo approached him closely.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“Don’t come near!”
Geon raised his voice and stepped back.
In the current situation, Geon couldn’t guarantee what he would do if Yeon Woo approached further. Unaware of this inner turmoil, Yeon Woo only saw Geon’s actions as him keeping his distance and treating her coldly.
In Yeon Woo’s eyes, which were moistened as her lips were tightly pressed, Geon’s heart felt a thud. With red lips quivering, Yeon Woo let out a voice.
“I… hate you.”
Uttering only those words, Yeon Woo abruptly turned around and ran away.
Geon, whose body stiffened for a moment, just stared blankly as Yeon Woo moved away.
This isn’t right. He didn’t intend to hurt her.
The more he tried to handle her delicately, the more he seemed to end up hurting Yeon Woo.
Yeon Woo seemed on the verge of tears. Needing a place to comfort her heart, she walked until she reached a sanctuary.
Unaware that she had arrived at a sanctuary, the secluded place with dense trees was suitable for hiding and crying.
Leaning against the sanctuary’s wall, Yeon Woo began to sob.
“Bad tiger cub… Sniff.”
Why is this guy acting so capriciously? Sometimes kind, suddenly getting angry, sometimes kissing, and then pushing away.
He is truly an unpredictable man.
In the midst of it all, Yeon Woo recalled Geon’s deep, black eyes that had been gazing at her.
His voice, calling her “my person,” with a medium-low tone, felt like it would spill sweet melodies into her ears at any moment.
His strong arms that wrapped around her waist and the warm sensation of his lips pressing against hers felt vivid, as if they had just touched her body.
“If you were going to act like this, you should have done it well…”
She wanted to hate him, but she couldn’t bring herself to hate him.
While extending her lips and pouting, whispers of two men beyond the wall were heard.
“How far do you intend to disappoint me?”
“…I apologize, Mama.”
Yeon Woo subconsciously held her breath and lowered her body.
In Joseon, the title “Mama” could only be used by the King and the Crown Prince. Judging from the young voice, it wasn’t the King’s voice. Therefore, the owner of the voice beyond the wall was undoubtedly the Crown Prince.
‘Crown Prince…?’
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.]
