“You’ve worked hard to raise me and the stork, so you can stop the side dish shop now and leave your old age preparation to me.”
“No, it’s okay. People your age worry about dating and having fun, and you’re always worried about money. If you chase after money like that, it will run away. How many times do I have to tell you?”
“Just you wait and see if you get sick.”
“Aiyo. Are you afraid I’ll get old and stick to you?”
“No~! I’m the one who wants to stick to you, Grandma.”
Hyo Jin playfully hooked her arm around Madam Yang Soon Hye’s and squinted her eyes sweetly.
“What if I get married and ask you to make side dishes, and leave my child to you? If you get sick, what should I do? You should be healthy and live long.”
How could anyone say no when she smiled so broadly?
“If it’s dirty and petty, leave it immediately. Don’t tolerate it because of money.”
Soon Hye, who knew better than anyone the hardships Hyo Jin had gone through due to the debt left by her father, emphasized once again.
Noel Law Firm.
“Representative lawyer for M&A and legal advice, Gyo Hwan Choi.”
In front of his office, where a highend stainless steel nameplate was installed, was a crowd of lawyers waiting to report.
“How did you get here?”
The female secretary in a grey suit politely greeted Hyo Jin as she got off the elevator.
“… Well, Professor Kim Yong Hoon sent me.”
“Please come in.”
Nam Jun Seok, the team leader in charge of the secretary’s office, opened the door wide.
“Yes?”
The eyes of not only the lawyers who were anxiously waiting for their turn, but also the employees waiting in the conference room, rained down on Hyo Jin.
They all looked at her, who had entered with a free pass, as if she was a capable lawyer about to be recruited, but no, it’s a misunderstanding. I’m not an employee here, I’m just here for a home tutor interview.
“Hello. I’m Bong Hyo Jin.”
The figure of the man sitting with his back to the gray urban landscape beyond the glass windows reminded her of a cold winter.
Hyo Jin had expected a formal greeting like, “Welcome, even if it’s just for courtesy’s sake,” or “I’ve heard a lot about you,” but when the man only responded with a “yes,” and said nothing else, sweat began to form on her brow.
Did he not like me?
The professor who wrote the recommendation letter said that I just need to show my face.
Hyo Jin stared intently at the man’s elegant silver cufflinks and watch wrapped around his wrist, her eyes wide with uncertainty.
“Did you pass the teacher’s exam with top grades this year?”
“Ah, yes.”
Gyo Hwan, who had been examining Hyo Jin’s resume on his tablet with a meticulous eye, took off his classic silverrimmed glasses and lifted his head to face her.
Hyo Jin straightened her shoulders and pulled up the corners of her mouth in a calm smile, but the moment she met his face after he took off his glasses, it felt as if everything in front of her had become clear, and her eyes were purified.
Sigh. How old was he when he became a dad?
She had expected a middleaged man with a belly, hearing that he was a parent of a nineyearold son, but his moist eyes, filled with darkness, and his clean yet comfortable creamcolored knit cardigan made it hard to guess his age.
Did he have an accident when he was young? His gentle and neat impression seems far from promiscuity. He might rather look ascetic like a clergyman.
Moreover, his flawless white skin, his smooth forehead visible between his black curly hair, his high nose, sharp jawline, and thin lips like the protagonist of a romance comic, stopped Hyo Jin’s breath.
This is crazy. How could the face of a married man with a 9yearold child look like this? Is he living alone in the world?
His visual was completely killing her vibes, not just killing but beating her up. He was a face gangster, a real face gangster.
“Do you have any particular reason for choosing a tutor over a public school?”
“Ah, yes.”
Hyo Jin, whose gaze had been stolen by his sculpted beauty as if admiring a beautiful piece of art, collected herself and recited her prepared speech.
“Professor Kim Yong Hoon strongly recommended it. I thought it would be a new experience for me.”
“Weren’t you surprised when you first received the offer?”
“No, I was very happy.”
An annual salary of 120 million. Extra payment for holidays and overtime, support for purchasing books and cultural life, maintaining dignity. They even offered a special bonus if she continued to tutor the child until he enrolled in a British royal boarding school.
“You probably heard from the professor, but Yul has a separate specialized teacher for each subject.”
English, mathematics, science, Chinese characters, creativity, essay writing, taekwondo, swimming, art, horse riding, piano, etc.
Hyo Jin’s role was similar to a homeroom teacher who ensures that all these lessons are followed properly.
“Do you have a younger brother?”
“Yes, I raised my younger brother with ‘love’ as our mother passed away when we were young.”
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.
