Even in the dim light, her facial expressions were as vivid as ever, so Jae-oh stopped without trying to wake her up.
Considering the time they spent before falling asleep, Chaeyoon wasn’t likely to wake up with this level of stimulation. She seemed almost to have passed out even now.
Jae-oh was aware that his body, without realizing it, was sensitively monitoring Chaeyoon’s condition. Only later did he realize that he was holding his breath.
As expected, Chaeyoon quickly fell into a deep sleep. Seeing her regain tranquility, Jae-oh finally adjusted her comfortably in his arms.
Closing his eyes after gently aligning his short mouth on his well-developed forehead, it seemed like he was about to sleep well. However, the tender breath spreading in his chest disturbed his sleep.
The gentle breeze, like tickling willow leaves, was enough to awaken the barely dormant desire.
His densely packed eyebrows wrinkled slightly. A long sigh escaped from Jae-oh’s lips.
It seemed that falling asleep like this might not work.
If that’s the case, all that was left was to spend time watching Chaeyoon sleeping. So, Jae-oh lowered his head and looked at the sleeping Chaeyoon.
Other people’s sleep had completely disappeared, but he was sleeping so peacefully, exhaling in various pretty colors.
Watching the serene expression that naturally extended the corners of her mouth, Jae-oh, who had been looking content, released the arm wrapped around her slim waist and gently stroked Chaeyoon’s side hair.
“Let’s meet Chaeyoon. Meet her, and I’ll clear up all misunderstandings.”
Jae-oh’s eyes stiffened as he recalled Chaeyoon’s name coming out of Kyung-hee’s mouth.
The eye that had contained warm emotions until a moment ago now coldly chilled as if saying, “When did that happen again?” However, the touch of his hand stroking Chaeyoon’s head remained warm.
[Star icon]Chaeyoon, who had fallen asleep so deeply that she didn’t know how, woke up early in the morning.
Realizing that she woke up earlier than usual, Chaeyoon moved her drowsy eyes and noticed that Jae-oh wasn’t beside her. She looked around with sleepy eyes to find Jae-oh.
“Oppa.”
She called him to let him know she had woken up, but Jae-oh’s presence couldn’t be heard anywhere in the bedroom.
“Is he outside?”
This was not a house but a suite. Moreover, the bedroom door was securely closed, so Chaeyoon expected Jae-oh to be in the living room.
Chaeyoon stood up, putting her feet on the floor to go outside. As soon as she did, a slight pain permeated her pale face.
Chaeyoon, trembling with her shaky legs, picked up the gown on the floor and put it on before going out to the living room.
“Ah…”
As soon as she left the bedroom, her two cheeks turned red with embarrassment at the sight.
Chaeyoon moved her gaze along the scattered clothes and cushions.
Then, as her clear eyes fell on the transparent floor-to-ceiling window, a strong wave surged in her clear eyes.
“If you hadn’t come here, what would have happened.”
“Good, die. Seriously.”
The face of Chaeyoon, who had resurrected yesterday’s events, was about to burst into red.
Yesterday, the reason they came here instead of going home was because of the wine served with the meal.
It was recommended by Jae-oh, and it was more delicious than expected. As they sipped the wine and chatted continuously, Jae-oh’s presence that didn’t leave her eyes, and the sparkling night view she could see by his side.
Everything was good.
She couldn’t remember any of the conversations they had before coming to the restaurant or what was happening at the company at the moment.
Simply being with Jae-oh at this moment, in this place, enjoying our own time, Chaeyoon didn’t want to go back home.
Choosing words carefully to express her reluctance to go home as she felt embarrassed, Jae-oh, lifting his chin slightly, spoke.
[If you’re okay with it, should we have one more drink?]Disappointed.
Acknowledging reluctantly with a deepened gaze, as if he had read her mind, she nodded, and then…
Thinking of the moment when the sparkling lights spread beyond the wide window, Chaeyoon quickly lifted her head.
‘Ah, let’s not think about it.’
Chaeyoon, who tried to dismiss the sensations that resurfaced on their own, decided to find her phone.
The phone was in her bag.
To contact Jae-oh, she turned on the screen, but the missed call notification, which had arrived a while ago, caught Chaeyoon’s attention.
“Little Lady.”
Chaeyoon immediately tried to check the messages.
However, before checking the messages, the phone, which had run out of battery, turned off automatically.
“Huh?”
Looking at the dead phone, confusion filled Chaeyoon’s eyes.
Not only checking the messages but also contacting Jae-oh would be impossible if it turned off.
In the moment when Chaeyoon’s eyes were gloomy, a welcome voice reached her ears.
“What, you’re already awake?”
Chaeyoon’s head turned abruptly towards Jae-oh.
A smile spread on Chaeyoon’s face as she looked at Jae-oh.
Approaching her unexpectedly, he looked at Chaeyoon’s condition and asked.
“When did you wake up?”
“Not too long ago. But oppa, where did you go?”
“Exercise. I left a note on the side table, didn’t you see it?”
Since she hadn’t thought of checking it, Chaeyoon nodded.
“You didn’t see… Wait, you went exercising?”
“Yeah.”
Her small mouth widened in surprise.
“Isn’t it hard?”
Seeing the unbelieving eyes, Jae-oh, fixing Chaeyoon’s disheveled hair with his hand, answered.
“It was hard, so I went.”
It was hard, so he went? What did that mean?
Unable to understand Jae-oh’s words, Chaeyoon tilted her head with an amused expression.
Seeing that, a look of admiration flashed in Jae-oh’s eyes.
No, why is she so cute?
Her swollen lips that had been tormenting him, the slightly messy hair, and her tilting head were unbearably cute.
She was so close, and it was too wasteful to be apart from Chaeyoon for such a short time.
Determined to stick by Chaeyoon’s side, no matter how difficult it was, Jae-oh thought.
Hugging Chaeyoon tightly as if making a promise, Jae-oh suddenly spoke.
“Today, I’ll just be kicked out again.”
With a face that seemed to say, “I’ll make up for the very short time apart,” there was a determined will in the way he spoke.
His expression was somewhat amusing and pleasing, so Chaeyoon scanned Jae-oh’s face with her gaze and asked, “If you get kicked out?”
“I’ll cry.”
Hearing the sincere tone, laughter burst from Chaeyoon’s lips.
It was the beginning of a bright morning.
[Star Icon]With a smile faintly lingering on Chaeyoon’s face, she put on the prepared clothes and headed to work after Jae-oh’s remark.
After exchanging pleasant greetings with the secretaries, Chaeyoon, who remained seated, took out her phone, which had not been turned on all morning due to Jae-oh’s playful teasing.
After charging it, she turned it on and was about to check the message from Kyunghee, which she couldn’t see in the early morning. However, this time, something other than the battery started to interfere.
“Miss Chaeyoon.”
“I’m saying something absurd, so don’t take it the wrong way.”
“Don’t think about it negatively.”
“Miss Chaeyoon, is there anything going on between you and Manager Han Jae-oh?”
The moment when she held hands with Jae-oh flashed in Chaeyoon’s mind, and her eyes closed.
“It hasn’t even been a day…”
The wordless gossip was spreading surprisingly fast.
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.]
