Jehwi found him, rushing over and covering him with an umbrella. Whether it was sweat or raindrops that dripped down his soaked face, he couldn’t tell.
“Here.”
Jehwi rummaged in his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief. But Xiu didn’t even glance at the offered handkerchief, his eyes fixed only on the entrance of the gate.
“Is it still not done?”
“Yes. The winning guild’s members have just been deployed, so this hunter will be coming out soon.”
Jehwi awkwardly put away the handkerchief and glanced towards the gate’s entrance.
“It’s a relief the winning bid was decided in 2 hours. Haha. I even brought a blanket, thinking I’d be staying in the car all night.”
He added in a cheerfully bright tone, but there was no reply.
‘Hmm.’
Jehwi quickly closed his mouth. It seemed that our president was not in the mood for small talk.
Whoosh─
Between the gradually thickening rain, the hunters began to emerge one by one through the crack.
“Oh, there they are. That hunter is coming out….”
Before Jehwi could finish his sentence, Xiu snatched the umbrella from his hand.
With long strides, Xiu waded through the rain and stood before Eunha.
“Senior.”
“Were you waiting?”
“Yes. I just arrived.”
Xiu spoke stiffly as he covered Eunha with the umbrella.
“……Was there any trouble?”
“Trouble? What trouble?”
“I heard that Trixter and Maestro were here.”
“Ah.”
Eunha glanced somewhere.
Minjoo vanished like smoke as soon as she left the gate, and Lee Joon was mixed in with a crowd of police officers far away. He seemed to be informing them about Hunter Moebius’s missing incident. Of course, he didn’t even look here.
“They’ve signed a contract with the Korean Hunter Association, it seems.”
“What?”
Xiu’s eyebrows twitched. A contract with the Korean Association? Who? Baek Lee Joon?
“Who did?”
“Trixter, Song Minjoo.”
“…….”
Although Xiu didn’t fully believe Minjoo’s words, she was the head of the Legion, one of South Korea’s four major guilds. It wasn’t strange for her to know information that hadn’t yet become public.
“It’ll probably be in the news soon, right?”
Eunha spoke nonchalantly.
Yes, it would be. On the contrary, it was more strange that big news like Lee Joon’s contract with the association hadn’t been reported yet.
Was it deliberately kept quiet?
If so, then showing up here today before the news broke was probably…
‘Because of the senior.’
Unknowingly, strength flowed into the hand holding the umbrella. He couldn’t understand why. Xiu blinked slowly, pretending not to know.
“Let’s go back for now.”
Thump.
“……Senior?”
Eunha stood stiffly, staring intently at one spot. Following her black gaze, Xiu soon spotted a man in a black suit.
‘Maestro.’
His mouth involuntarily tightened.
When Maestro had come to find Xiu, he had asked about the Princess of Black Flame. It was clear that he had sought out Xiu almost immediately after arriving in Korea.
So the reason he entered Korea might be closely related to the Princess of Black Flame, his senior.
In some sense, Lee Joon, who knew the galaxy’s past, was a dangerous figure. If he wanted to, revealing the galaxy’s past wouldn’t be a big deal.
Then, the contracts and all would be lost, and she would be taken away by various media and research institutions.
“…….”
Under the slightly cramped umbrella for two, Siwoo silently turned his gaze to stare at Eunha. It was the usual calm face, but somehow he didn’t want to stare at her.
“Senior, you’re getting wet.”
Thump.
Siwoo stood in front of Eunha. Her view was filled with a greyish hooded tee.
Eunha suddenly looked up at him. Siwoo’s face had an unpleasant expression.
“Do you have something to say to him?”
Without realizing it, that question popped out.
If he has something to say… should I step aside?
“…….”
“…….”
Swooosh─
Under the round umbrella, the sound of rain resonated particularly loud.
“No.”
“……Yes?”
“Nothing. To say.”
He probably has nothing to say to me either.
Eunha quickly took her gaze off Lee Joon. Cleanly, as if she had never looked at him in the first place.
“Let’s go.”
And somehow, Siwoo was pleased with that fact.
“……Yes, Senior.”
Siwoo, who had quickly wiped his nose, hurriedly followed Eunha, who was already a few steps ahead.
The black umbrella he had been tightly holding silently tilted, leaning towards Eunha.
The next day, Siwoo learned about the suspension of the activities of the Princess of Black Flame.
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.]
