Leaning back into the seat, Seo Yeon pressed her temple with her crystal glittering fingers.
Two years of preparation alone. The launch of the second brand had Seo Yeon, who was usually fearless, extremely nervous.
Just before heading to the factory, dozens of discarded designs. It was a blooddraining time leading up to the brand launch.
Seo Yeon, who naturally uttered the words “I want to rest,” headed to the S Hotel private bar that only operates as a membership.
After all, Seo Yeon, herself, was the one who needed comfort and rest more than anyone else now.
((()))((()))((()))
The entrance exuding an attractive musk scent.
As Seo Yeon presented her membership card, a neatly dressed staff bowed straight.
There seemed to be a designer who decorated the space with scent, as a unique aroma, not felt in the hotel lobby, followed Seo Yeon from the bar entrance, escorting her.
Seo Yeon, as if intoxicated by the scent, sat down at the round table she was guided to.
“A glass of whiskey on the rocks and some sparkling lemon water.”
As the employee with composed movements retreated, Seo Yeon slowly looked around.
The dark lighting and modern interior design in wood tones.
The people tilting their glasses looked anything but ordinary, just like the sophisticated space.
Then, she caught the eye of a man.
The black pupils that met hers in passing captured Seo Yeon’s gaze. But that was it.
She was not there to meet a man, but waiting for a friend to comfort her during the restful time.
Seo Yeon tapped the crystal glass in front of her, enjoying the jazz melody moistening her ears.
Then, the transparent square ice cubes danced, making a clinking sound.
Trying to shake off her heavy heart, Seo Yeon lightly took a sip.
Huh. What?
Her eyes met again with the man with whom she had exchanged glances.
The deep gaze of the man she had never met and the heavy oak scent brushing past her nose stimulated Seo Yeon’s senses.
But she didn’t attach any significant meaning. Just a simple curiosity until her friend arrived.
Seo Yeon’s eyes examined the man’s eyes, face, his overall silhouette.
It was something like an occupational disease of a designer.
Matching the sizes and trying on styles that fit well had been her longstanding habit.
About 190 in height? Size 110, and 2XL would suit well……. His Tzone is threedimensional, and the line coming down from his nose to his lips is neat.
But above all, his deep gaze captured Seo Yeon’s sight.
“What am I doing, really.”
Feeling like she was paying too much attention to a man she’d never met, Seo Yeon quickly retracted her gaze that had been focused on one side.
Then, she texted Ho Jin to check his location.
Even after receiving Ho Jin’s reply that he would arrive soon, she purposely fiddled with her phone to distract her unnecessary attention. Otherwise, she felt like she wouldn’t be able to stop her gaze from heading his way.
“You’ve been waiting a long time, haven’t you? Uhmm.”
Ho Jin, who seemed to have run over, was breathing heavily as he downed Seo Yeon’s shot of liquor, making a face.
“Why drink this bitter stuff when you’re living a sweet life as a successful CEO. Ugh. There’s no antidote.”
“Order something sweet for yourself. I like this taste.”
Ho Jin, who had quickly downed his water, ordered a sweet house wine.
“Our CEO doesn’t seem to have come from a company dinner at a barbecue restaurant. It looks like she was getting her picture taken in the front row at a fashion show.”
Ho Jin said, looking at Seo Yeon who was dressed in a slightly revealing black jacket over a matching bustier.
“This is our new product. What do you think?”
“Black always works. The fabric and cut are unique.”
Seo Yeon started talking about the new black item, given the topic.
Then she chuckled at herself for relieving her heavy heart and starting work talk again.
Thinking it was time to change the topic, Seo Yeon proposed a toast to Ho Jin. Then a long shadow appeared between the tables.
“CEO Han?”
When Seo Yeon and Ho Jin looked up together, a tidy man was standing there smiling.
“Director Kim! What brings you here?”
“I had a meeting with a friend. I just arrived, and I see CEO Han here.”
As the two exchanged pleasantries, Ho Jin looked back and forth between them as if curious about the man’s identity.
“This is Director Kim Hyun Woo from DN Home Shopping. He is the hero of Black Hani’s entry into home shopping and my reliable aide. And this is my close friend and prosecutor Ye Ho Jin.”
Hyun Woo and Ho Jin exchanged a light nod.
“Instead of doing this, let’s have a drink together. I was curious about the Black Hani that is launching soon.”
“I’m fine but… Didn’t you say you had a meeting?”
“When men meet, they just drink without talking. Would it be alright if I call my group here?”
When Seo Yeon sent Ho Jin a look asking for permission, she nodded her head.
Hyun Woo put his bag opposite Seo Yeon and moved to ask his group. As soon as he left his seat, Ho Jin whispered.
“Are you flirting with that man?”
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.]
