The worried voice belonged to the lady living upstairs, and her husband and sons and daughters were all standing on the stairs.
Among them, the younger daughter whispered something into her sister’s ear.
“Yes, yes! I’m fine! It’s nothing at all!”
Just a moment ago, she acted like a crazy woman, and now she said it was nothing at all. Moreover, if they overheard the conversation I had with the man, it couldn’t have been an uninteresting scene from their perspective.
Suddenly, an unmarried mother, and a man appearing from the next-door.
“It’s really nothing. I’m sorry for the noise, but if you could please leave, I would appreciate it.”
Eunjo, who embraced the crying child, demanded in a very assertive and confident voice, quite unlike her usual self.
However, as soon as the onlookers disappeared, the elevator door opened, and Mina came out.
“Daon! Unnie! …Mr. Kwon Jaeha?”
Eunjo quickly looked up at the upstairs.
She probably didn’t hear the name ‘Kwon Jaeha.’
With a nervous feeling, she quickly turned her sharp gaze towards the cause of all this.
“Unnie… Oh, but there, um… the cheek. Does it hurt?”
“…?”
There was a long, red mark on Jaeha’s cheek!
Though blood wasn’t flowing, the wound on his pale face was quite distinct.
He, with a cool smile, covered his cheek with his large hand.
“Oh, it’s okay. I didn’t even know it was there.”
“Come in first. We have a well-stocked first aid kit at home. You know, it’s my profession.”
Without giving him time to dry off, Mina pulled Jaeha into the house.
Daon, who had stopped crying at some point, followed behind, and before she knew it, Eunjo was alone in the corridor.
Now…
Kwon Jaeha. So… he entered my house?
I was still stunned and my hands were shaking, but I couldn’t just stand in the corridor.
“Sigh, this is a big problem… What if there’s a scar on that handsome face?”
Ignoring Eunjo, who was watching with wide-open eyes, Mina made a remark as if genuinely worried about a nice piece of merchandise.
“This ointment is really good. I’ll give it to you, so apply it again tomorrow morning. This is a dressing band. Oh! There’s one for the sole of your foot too. What happened there? Did you hurt yourself again?”
“Oh, I stepped on a crushed beer can. It’s okay.”
“Did you wrap it up? Have you been to the hospital?”
“Not to that extent. I disinfected it, and it doesn’t hurt much.”
Now, Mina seemed to be examining Jaeha’s foot as well, stooping low as if she were genuinely concerned.
“Stop it!”
Eunjo, who couldn’t stand it anymore, interjected.
“Unnie, shh!”
Mina’s round eyes turned from Eunjo, who was standing in the living room, and then shifted to another side.
…!
Daon was asleep. Moreover, on Jaeha’s lap!
Kwon Jaeha, giving a wry smile, was gently stroking the child’s head.
“…Sorry.”
Damn it!
Unlike Eunjo, who kept her mouth shut, Mina, who got up quietly from her seat, headed to the kitchen.
“I don’t have much time. Since we’ve met for the first time today, I should offer you a cup of tea.”
Eunjo shoots a glance at her younger sister, who pressed the button on the electric kettle and even brought out my favorite pearl jasmine tea.
Slowly preparing a teacup, Mina approached Eunjo and calmly said, “Unnie… Sunju’s mom has passed away.”
“…What?”
Sunju is Mina’s closest friend, and if she’s talking about her mom, she’s still relatively young.
“She wasn’t saying anything. It’s been over a year since she’s been unwell.”
“…”
“I have to change and go out again. There’s a high chance I won’t be able to come in today… Before going out, I want to have a quiet cup of tea together. Okay?”
“…Sure. But why all of a sudden?”
“Later. I’ll talk about it when I come back. Sit down; I’ll get it ready.”
“Grocery shopping?”
“Yes, an errand. But I ended up in this situation from the beginning.”
Hmph, likes to shop. Eunjo snorted in disapproval of someone’s taste.
She sat away from the sofa where Jaeha and Mina were sitting.
But when did that kid start liking Kwon Jaeha?
The child is sleeping soundly in his broad embrace.
“Anyway, last time I saw you, and even now, I haven’t properly thanked you. Sincerely…”
“You don’t need to. I’ve thanked you enough. Haven’t I?”
Interrupting Mina’s words, Eunjo put down the teacup she was holding and stood up.
“Well, for some reason, we’ve become neighbors. In the future…”
“Not neighbors.”
“Unnie, can’t we just be comfortable? Of course, I don’t know everything about your situation… Well, that…”
Suddenly, Mina, as if emotions were welling up, glanced at Jaeha and smiled faintly.
“Ha… Anyway, I think I should go now.”
“Perhaps, is there anything I can help with?”
Although Jaeha, still stroking the child’s head, cautiously intervened.
“No, absolutely not.”
Eunjo coldly refused.
With a perplexed expression, Mina quickly left the room and soon reappeared in black clothes.
“Can we entrust our Daon to both of you? Unnie…?”
Reluctantly, Eunjo nodded.
“What on earth do you want?”
Eunjo’s voice, supporting a pillow for the child, was very soft.
“…Nothing. I’m sorry.”
“Nothing, and you’re like this? What should we do here?”
“…Honestly, I don’t know. I’ll do whatever you want, anything.”
“Anything? Then die.”
Without hesitation, Eunjo spat out a cold remark and opened the front door.
“If that’s the case, wait a bit. It feels like I’m dying.”
“So, you brought out the liquor to show me? Is it easier to die after drinking?”
Eunjo forcefully closed the door.
Leaving her job and even considering moving, she couldn’t understand him presenting himself in such an unpleasant situation.
However, in the pitch-dark dawn, Eunjo was pressing the doorbell of her new neighbor.
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.]
