There was even an incident where they pulled each other’s hair.
When he entered elementary school, he became the class president every year.
He wasn’t just a conspicuous appearance, but he was also good at studying and sports. The beginning of the socalled perfect man started from there.
From late elementary school, he received so many chocolates on Valentine’s Day and love letters that there weren’t enough hands to carry them all, I had to help too.
There was a strong public sentiment that he should be left as a public good.
So, the girls who confessed to him were usually ostracized. As incidents due to his looks occurred more and more, he was even recommended to transfer schools by other parents.
Hounded by girls, he enrolled in a boys’ middle school far from home.
He was popular there too. Too popular, in fact, to the point it was a problem.
After being confessed to by a boy and even forcibly having his first kiss stolen, he transferred to the coed school I was attending. (Truthfully, I felt a little sorry for him at that point.)
Was that incident the cause? Or perhaps it was just puberty hitting. He started to get twisted. And the damage all came to me.
In high school, he used me as a shield to navigate the school. Sometimes, he hid behind me and attended school very comfortably.
Receiving the jealousy and envy of all the female students, I could grow into a strong person. The process was not smooth at all. In fact, it was horrifying.
The real relief was that I didn’t have to go through college life with him.
Of course, I wasn’t good enough at studying to enter the same university as him, but Ji Seo Joon, who was exceptionally good at and loved science, went to study in America. And he got a job there too.
Yes. That’s how we were each living our own lives. Then suddenly, I heard he was returning to Korea.
He, who was born from the same obstetrician, attended the same kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, and high school.
Ji Seo Joon was returning.
“I’m doomed.”
I didn’t want to think about it anymore, so I pulled the blanket over my head. And so, my precious day in the sunny spot ended.
Despite falling asleep early yesterday and getting a solid nine hours of sleep, I felt utterly exhausted. Lifting up my weak body, I headed to the bathroom.
In the end, I missed the bus. I had to shove my way into the subway and head to work.
Arriving at the office with a body half dead, I headed to the pantry and brewed a strong coffee first. I needed caffeine to perk up my ragged body. After taking the first sip there, I picked up the cup and walked to my seat.
“Good morning.”
There’s no such thing as a good morning when going to work. But I still say “good morning.” It’s the hollow lie of my fifth year in the workforce.
“Good morning, Assistant Manager Moon.”
My successor, Ms. Baek In Ha, greeted me brightly. Caught in the vivacity of her youth, I found myself smiling unwittingly. After giving her a nod, I sat down in my seat.
As soon as I sat down, I turned on the computer to check if there were any new emails. Just after checking the emails briefly and peeking at my phone, there was a new message from Ji Seo Joon.
[Departing tomorrow.] “What?”I was so startled by his brief reply that I jumped to my feet.
“Oh my. You surprised me. Assistant Manager Moon, is something wrong?”
Ms. Baek In Ha, whose eyes had widened, asked me.
“No, I’m sorry. Did I startle you? I think I saw something I wasn’t supposed to…”
“Assistant Manager Moon. You look pale.”
Of course I did, I’d just received an email signaling the end of my peaceful life. I pressed on my forehead, feeling the onset of a headache.
“Assistant Manager. I have some painkillers, would you like one?”
Ms. In Ha, who was still looking at me with concern, rummaged through her bag to find the painkillers.
“No, it’s fine. I’m really okay.”
I forced a smile to her and sat down. This headache couldn’t be solved with painkillers.
“Mom… I’m hungry. Give me food.”
A blessed late morning on the weekend. Waking up starving, I went to the living room. But there was no one around. It was silent.
“Where has she gone?”
I lifted my pajamas, rubbing my stomach, and looked around the house, but I couldn’t see my dad or mom anywhere.
As I was rummaging through the fridge, having given up looking for my mom, the bell from my room rang. Rushing back, I picked up my phone to find it was my mom.
Are you awake?
As soon as I answered the call, I heard my mom’s soothing voice. It was clear she was with other people.
“Where are you?”
I’m at Seo Joon’s house.
“Over there? This early in the morning?”
I looked up at the small desk clock. It was almost 11 o’clock. It wasn’t early morning, but it was a bit early to visit someone else’s house.
It’s the day Seo Joon arrives, remember? Seo Joon’s mom is cooking, so I came over to help.
Despite my efforts to avoid it and forget, my mom reminded me. The day Ji Seo Joon was coming. It was today.
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.]
