“Ugh, Do-ha.”
“Okay, Haeyeon. Let’s go in now.”
Caring for the drunken Haeyeon, Do-ha spoke affectionately. Haeyeon, overwhelmed with emotions, had drunk beyond her limit and ended up in her current state.
“I, I’m okay.”
“Why are you like this, Haeyeon?”
Gazing at her intently, Do-ha leaned in close, his face inches away from Haeyeon’s flushed cheeks. Today, his subtle soap scent sensitively tickled her nose. The warmth of their nearly touching cheeks filled the air with a sweet scent. Do-ha, smiling tenderly at Haeyeon’s loveliness, froze upon her next words.
“I don’t understand why Do-ha is acting like this lately.”
A sudden silence enveloped them. The only sound was the rustling of leaves in the serene garden, shrouded in darkness.
“I tried to understand, but it’s so upsetting.”
The sound of Haeyeon sobbing followed. Do-ha, who had reached out to her, remained silent, gently brushing her hair away from her small face. Whether due to the alcohol or something else, her eyes were reddened. Do-ha’s hand, stroking her eyelids, trembled slightly.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Haeyeon.”
With Haeyeon nodding off, Do-ha couldn’t embrace her properly but conveyed his apologies, unreachable.
He knew why she was upset. Her earlier words, her genuine wish to travel, and even a hint of resentment – he couldn’t bravely answer all that and was overwhelmed with guilt.
“It’s because I lack courage.”
Confessing as if in confession, hoping she might hear in her dreams, Do-ha carried the completely asleep Haeyeon, moving slowly.
The memory of Haeyeon’s tearful complaints drifted slowly in front of the corridor. The cruel gap in their shared time was heart-wrenching. Do-ha’s cheeks deepened with a low sigh.
“Stupid, Haeyeon!”
Used to waking up early from her childhood habit of helping around relatives’ houses, Haeyeon always woke up naturally, even after drinking late. But today was different.
Thirsty and headachy, Haeyeon winced, then startled as she recalled fragments of last night.
“More alcohol. I want to drink more, Do-ha.”
Embarrassed, her cheeks flushed with belated shame.
“Ugh.”
Despite feeling embarrassed and ashamed in front of Do-ha, her hangover declared defeat. Unaware that the bed was empty, she struggled on the bed until someone spoke to her gently.
“Haeyeon, are you okay?”
“Uh, yes…?”
“Try drinking this.”
Every morning, Do-ha’s beauty seemed new. Whether morning or evening, his looks never faltered. The alcohol hadn’t fully worn off, making her already handsome husband appear even more attractive.
“Here.”
He whispered softly, offering a water cup. Licking her thirsty lips, she took a sip. It was sweet and slightly sour, which would have been delicious normally, but this morning, it was too much. Pretending to drink, Haeyeon tried to set the cup down, but Do-ha caught her hand.
“You need to drink more.”
“Ha-ha. Thank you, Do-ha.”
Haeyeon smiled awkwardly, still embarrassed by last night’s drunken antics. Do-ha’s response was a relaxed smile. That smile gave Haeyeon the courage she needed. She wasn’t sure if she had made a big mistake yesterday or not. Frowning slightly, she cautiously asked.
“Do-ha, did I… last night…”
“Why, Haeyeon? Want more to drink? But you had a lot yesterday, let’s not drink anymore.”
Without even properly asking, Do-ha’s response flowed smoothly, making Haeyeon’s cheeks burn with embarrassment. Treated like a typical drunkard by Do-ha, Haeyeon, who was indeed guilty of drunken antics the night before, meekly lowered her head.
“……Yes…….”
Looking dejected like a scolded puppy, sitting with her back against the bed’s headboard, Haeyeon received a teasing smile from Do-ha, who seemed to be trying to lighten the mood.
“Haeyeon.”
“……Yes, Do-ha.”
“Did you really want to go on a trip that much?”
Haeyeon’s eyebrows shot up. Despite knowing it was her own words, she couldn’t help feeling slightly offended by Do-ha’s teasing tone. However, her discomfort due to the hangover instantly disappeared with his next words.
“Yeah. Even if we can’t go far, let’s go somewhere close, just us.”
Do-ha’s voice, deeper than usual due to the morning, carried a content that not only eased her mood but made her heart flutter.
“Really?”
Haeyeon’s pink lips whispered in surprise. Remembering how boldly she spoke to Do-ha the previous night, she felt embarrassed, excited about the trip, and awkward about everything that had happened, which all together made her heart race.
Do-ha chuckled and took Haeyeon’s hand, playfully pressing his lips into her palm.
“Really.”
It wasn’t Do-ha’s kisses that made Haeyeon’s heart race. It was the thought of spending exclusive time together after so long. Always busy, Do-ha had made it impossible to even consider traveling. Remembering this almost brought tears to her eyes, so Haeyeon gasped for air as if she was in intense exercise and exclaimed.
“I’d love that!”
“I wish it was the weekend today. Aren’t you tired?”
Haeyeon asked Do-ha as he prepared to leave for work. They agreed to plan their trip leisurely and finished their breakfast.
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.
