“My father died in a traffic accident. He was drunk and jaywalked at night. And my mother……”
His mouth wouldn’t close. It was a matter of over 20 years ago, but when he spoke of his mother’s death, anger erupted and his throat clenched as if it had happened just yesterday.
As if he had returned to the nineyearold who heard the news of his mother’s death.
“Our mother… she committed suicide.”
That day, the world of that little nineyearold boy collapsed.
The brutal and gloomy emotions of that time were still lodged in a corner of his heart like a fragment, and whenever he remembered his mother, it announced its presence with a sharp pain.
It was a pain only those who have lost the most precious person in the world know, and they experienced it too early. Tae Joon at the age of nine, and Seo Rin at the age of five.
It was a wound that could never be healed.
“I didn’t… know. I really…”
An expression appeared on her face, who rarely shows her emotions.
And it was understandable, as Tae Joon had never exposed his pain so openly even once.
She knew his parents had passed away early, but when they met in America, Tae Joon was living a prosperous life and was a man brimming with confidence, undeterred by her cool rejection.
Therefore, she had never thought his past would be so boneachingly painful.
For a moment, her conscience weighed heavily with the thought that she knew him too little.
“Of course you didn’t know. I’ve never talked about it.”
“But Tae Joon, you’re trying to find out about it again. Why?”
“Although it was already declared a suicide, and the police concluded the investigation that way, there’s something that bothers me.”
“……”
“My mother, you know, was a person full of love. Someone who thought the power of love was the strongest in the world……”
At his words, Seo Rin’s black pupils trembled beneath her long eyelashes.
Now she understood why a man named Kang Tae Joon was so optimized for love.
It was the influence of his mother, who had passed away.
Just with a few words, or just by seeing his face when he remembered his mother, she could tell how overflowing his mother was with love.
For me… love is everything.
She remembered the words he had said sometime ago. Even when thought about again, it was a phrase that she could not understand from her standpoint.
She had always wondered why this man found love so easy, and why he was so overflowing with love.
How could he be so wrapped up in love when there were so many good things in the world?
It felt foolish.
To be so devoted to invisible love, to love that could change at any time.
But now, she understood.
“So… so that’s why you were also so full of love.”
It was a lesson from his deceased mother. How could he ever forget?
“That’s right. Our mother was like that. But… I just can’t believe that a mother like that committed suicide. I think even as a child, I felt that way. Our mom, there’s no way she could commit suicide.”
“……”
“Even… just a few days before my birthday.”
At his surprising confession, Seo Rin couldn’t even offer words of comfort.
“What mother in the world… especially a mother who used to say that love is everything… commits suicide just a few days before her young son’s birthday?”
His voice trembled as he questioned. His black eyes, which fully exposed his coalesced emotions as if they were rippling, also pulsated gently.
Seo Rin swayed with Tae Joon’s emotions.
I thought I was the most unfortunate person in the world. Because I thought my mother and sister died because of me. So, there was no doubt. The beginning and cause of all misfortune was all her.
But, where would there be a twisted contradiction as much as the suicide of a mother who overflowed with nothing but love.
Tae Joon must have lived his life carrying such a question in his heart instead of a sense of guilt.
A world full of questions and contradictions.
How did you endure alone in such a world?
“I just… want to confirm the truth. Whatever the truth is.”
Faced with Tae Joon’s pain for the first time, Seo Rin became solemn for a moment.
Everyone lives with at least one painful secret.
Just because someone is smiling, or not crying, don’t assume they have only walked on a bed of roses.
There is no wildflower blooming on the roadside that just blooms.
In this way, by revealing one by one the pains that they had each deeply hidden in their hearts, the two were able to understand each other a little more.
Why Seo Rin was so startled by love.
Or why he was so hung up on love.
“Is there… anything I can help with?”
“I’ll do it all. This is a problem I need to solve. But if I really need help, I’ll let you know.”
“Whenever.”
And understanding each other a little more means that their feelings for each other have deepened a little more.
Maybe that’s why.
Seo Rin took his hand as a gesture of comfort. As she felt his warm body temperature, Tae Joon looked at her.
The depth of his eyes, which were dark just a moment ago, twinkled through his long eyelashes.
“I think we should have taken economy.”
“Why?”
“Then we could sit closer together.”
A low laugh erupted from her lips. She couldn’t contain her laughter at the sight of Tae Joon making jokes even in this moment. It was endearing.
“Do you want to sit on my lap instead of that?”
“The flight attendant might blacklist us for indecency.”
“Why don’t they have couple seats on airplanes in this day and age? It would be great if they put two seats together like in a movie theater, so people who can’t live without each other could sit together.”
“We were together all night last night.”
Seo Rin retorted with a roll of her eyes, but Tae Joon wasn’t listening.
“How can one day make up for the time we’ve spent apart? We’re going to be together for the rest of our lives. Like leeches.”
“Won’t you get tired of it?”
“Are you tired of me? I think I could see you, Seo Rin, in my next life and still not get tired.”
Ah, I had momentarily forgotten how optimized this man was for love.
“I won’t use my own room anymore. I’m graduating from it. I’m fed up.”
Yes. I didn’t expect it. That he would go back to using his own room.
“And from now on, even if we fight, we’re never going to use separate rooms. Even if a couple fights until blood splatters, they should sleep in the same bed.”
“Right. We’ve been patient for too long.”
This was something Seo Rin agreed with. It wasn’t just him who had been suffering from sexual frustration.
“How can you suggest using separate rooms when you know me so well? I thought I had at least some charm on my side.”
“Some charm? Huh, right. Kang Tae Joon has some charm. How overflowing must that charm be for even the stern Director Park to take interest?”
“Director Park?”
“Yes. He was asking? How do you take care of your body?”
“Ha, I knew my charm doesn’t discriminate between men, women, old, and young, but I didn’t expect even Director Park to be like that.”
Their laughter erupted again after exchanging light jokes. It was because the past few days had passed through their minds like a spinning lantern.
Of course, laying out the truth each held in their hearts was never an easy task. But they realized that due to this truth, both of them were harboring the same pain.
And because of this commonality, they felt a little closer to each other.
“I love you, Seo Rin.”
He confessed, kissing the back of her hand on which he’d worn a ring.
Even after confessing like that last night, he really didn’t seem to tire of it.
“Aren’t you really tired of it?”
“No. My love principle is to confess once a day.”
“You’re crazy, really.”
“That’s how the brainwashing works. You know? The day will come when you repeat exactly what I said.”
He leaned over towards Seo Rin, who was laughing softly.
“Just wait and see, you’ll be like that too.”
And then, as if casting a spell, he repeated his words and brought his heated lips onto hers.
Looking forward to the day when she would repeat back his confession,
“I love you, Seo Rin.”

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.
