When Haeyeon left the office, it was well past the usual closing time. The issue had arisen close to the end of the day, causing her to stay late.
Though not physically taxing, the mental strain had exhausted Haeyeon. She returned home tired.
“Has Doha not come home yet?”
It was late at night, and the usually bright home was shrouded in darkness. Entering and turning on the lights, Haeyeon spotted a note on the table.
[Haeyeon, since you didn’t answer my call, I’m leaving a note. There’s food prepared by the housekeeper for dinner, so eat that. You must be tired, so don’t wait up for me.]The neat handwriting, like a printout, was Doha’s.
“Aha.”
Only then did Haeyeon remember her phone, neglected during the ordeal with Sales Team 2’s leader. Predictably, the screen was filled with missed calls and messages.
Feeling sorry for not checking her phone, she also felt a flutter of excitement receiving a handwritten note. For a moment, she even considered asking Doha to always leave handwritten notes in the future.
“No, now’s not the time to be distracted.”
Remembering why Doha was out this evening, Haeyeon quickly corrected her thoughts. She learned the reason behind his nightly outings from the documents provided by Yoonho. The last page stated:
Realizing the reason behind his evening absences, Haeyeon felt overwhelmed. She knew how busy Doha’s schedule was.
It was all too much.
She wanted to scream at Doha to hand over his company responsibilities to someone else and to please rest. But, unable to interfere, her heart ached.
Initially, Haeyeon couldn’t understand why Doha, despite his condition, was so dedicated to his work.
“Is there a reason?”
Whether it was related to her or to Chairman Yoon, she couldn’t tell. All she wished for was Doha to rest.
That’s why Haeyeon had thought about revealing the truth to Doha for the first time. However, she hesitated, feeling that not everything was yet uncovered.
But seeing such a tender note from Doha made her heart flutter…
“Sigh, let’s eat first and wait for Doha.”
Dismissing her fruitless thoughts, Haeyeon headed to the kitchen.
“I hope he’s not too tired…”
“Alright, that’s it for today, young master.”
The doctor, whose head was more white than black, spoke. Doha, a tall man, stood up, making the older man look up.
“Stop calling me young master.”
Even though Doha’s cold and harsh gaze was intimidating, the doctor didn’t seem fazed and retorted.
“Oh, sorry. Age is making me forgetful.”
“Dr. Moon, you’ve been saying that since we first met, haven’t you?”
Doha hit the nail on the head, but Dr. Moon just chuckled and handed him a towel. Doha, with no further words, took it and wiped the sweat off his body.
Dr. Moon had been the family physician for Doha’s household for a very long time. Currently, he only attended to Doha, having severed ties with the rest of the family.
He was the one who operated on Doha after the car accident and was also the first to diagnose Haeyeon’s amnesia.
“How long will you keep sneaking here after hours? My clinic has been closed for a while because of you, young master.”
Dr. Moon reprimanded Doha, adding a comment about respecting one’s elders. Doha, unusually, avoided eye contact and remained silent, unlike his usual quick retorts.
Dr. Moon sighed deeply, exasperated by Doha’s avoidance. He understood Doha’s reluctance to look him in the eye. Dr. Moon’s question, ‘how long will you continue?’ was a pointed inquiry about how long Doha intended to hide the truth of Haeyeon’s amnesia and secretly continue his rehabilitation.
“Please wait a little longer,” Doha finally replied.
Dr. Moon’s expression softened, revealing his concern. “Young master, it’s been 7 months since that incident. How long do you think you can keep this a secret? It’s a miracle it hasn’t been discovered yet.”
Doha had no response. He knew Dr. Moon’s statement was indisputable. He had been grappling with this issue since learning about Haeyeon’s memory loss last year.
“Are you planning to never undress in front of your wife forever?”
“About the surgery—”
“Master!”
Dr. Moon interrupted Doha before he could finish. It was rare for the old man to raise his voice like this. Dr. Moon had known Doha since he was a child and was one of the few people Doha opened up to.
“Surgery for your scars is out of the question with your current condition!”
Doha had considered surgery for his deep scars, distressed by Haeyeon’s reaction to them. However, it was impossible due to his incomplete recovery, and Dr. Moon thought Doha had given up on the idea.
Dr. Moon’s demeanor changed to one of understanding, “And you know surgery isn’t the solution.”
“I’m aware,” Doha admitted quietly.
Their conversation ended there. Doha, tight-lipped, respectfully left for the shower room. Dr. Moon watched his lonely back, unable to take his eyes off him for a long time.
The odd behavior of Sales Team 2’s leader, Mr. Shin, didn’t end that day.
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.]
