I wanted to meet her gaze, and I wanted to hear her soft voice, so I made up an excuse and came to Chae Yoon’s office.
Chae Yoon still tried to avoid me, but I felt good just to see her like that.
Yes, for sure…….
“It was good.”
The feeling of something being “good”.
An emotion Jae Oh had never felt before while looking at someone, but he had speculated it might be similar to the sense of fulfillment and excitement he felt every time he achieved results.
However, the emotion he felt today looking at Chae Yoon was on a different dimension from what he had known before.
There was a tremor in Jae Oh’s eyes as he went over his heart.
His broad chest began to rise and fall rapidly.
[Brother.]
[Brother Jae Oh.]
The afterimage of Chae Yoon, which never disappeared in his head, became clearer. The more it did, the harder his heart pounded.
The violent heartbeat that seemed to pierce his eardrums was unfamiliar, but his head remembered a familiar voice.
[Brother, do you like me?]
A sigh erupted from Jae Oh’s lips.
“Ah, no way.”
His face denying that it couldn’t be, that it wouldn’t be, was as surprised as when he heard Chae Yoon’s confession, no, even more so.
‘Do I like Song Chae Yoon?’
Although he wanted to deny it until the end, he couldn’t deny that he liked her.
If he didn’t like her, he wouldn’t have been so happy as if he had found his place just by having Song Chae Yoon in his eyes, he wouldn’t have wanted to be with her more, he wouldn’t have thought about not wanting to be apart again.
The desire not to divorce Chae Yoon.
Finally, he found a clear reason why he wanted to be the ‘truly beloved’ person Chae Yoon spoke of.
Jae Oh’s heart pounded even harder once he realized his feelings.
[I liked you a lot.]
He missed Chae Yoon. He wanted to rush to her and tell her right away.
That I liked you.
It wasn’t just you who liked me, I also liked you and I just realized it now.
So the love affair you talked about, that real…
As Jae Oh was thinking of what he wanted to say to Chae Yoon, his expression hardened for a moment.
[Thanks to that, I definitely knew. We are not destined to be.]
Thump, thump, his fiercely beating heart froze cold.
[If we were destined… during that long time, at least once, you would have looked at me differently.]
Jae Oh, who was reminded of Chae Yoon’s expression, resigned and bitter, yet lonely, had to stand there as if frozen for a while.
((()))
After the conversation with Jae Oh, Chae Yoon had a hard time getting her emotions under control.
She thought confessing her feelings was the best for a complete end.
It seemed like that way Jae Oh would stop dragging his feet, and she could completely sort out her heart, which still seemed to have lingering feelings. It was a choice she made thinking that if she laid everything out, her heart would feel relieved, but for some reason, it got worse.
Could it be because it felt like she had exposed a sore spot?
Her last shred of pride that she wanted to preserve seemed to be broken, and she felt drained.
“Phew……”
Chae Yoon, who let out a soft sigh, gazed at the scenery outside the large window.
He said he would finish the paperwork this week, so now he will be bringing the divorce papers.
Even though this was the situation she had wanted, she wondered why her heart felt bitter again.
“Ah, let’s not think about it.”
What good would thinking do? Anyway, I wouldn’t be able to see Han Jae Oh’s face properly now due to the awkwardness.
Also, thanks to someone, she was busy now. While focusing on her work, she naturally would stop thinking about him. Then time would pass quickly.
With a sinking heart, Chae Yoon, who was desperately hoping for this, brushed herself off and returned to the office.
Woo Jong was nowhere to be seen. Several team members, including Deputy Director Jung, were still crowded around the table.
Until now, she hadn’t thought much. She just wanted to get back to work as soon as possible.
But the conversation the team members were having touched Chae Yoon’s nerves.
“Ah, I’m really envious of the secretaries in the executive director’s office. They get to see that face every day.”
“He was handsome.”
“But, it seems like he has a really bad personality. Are you still envious, Deputy Director Jung?”
“It’s about the value of his face.”
“If that’s the case, shouldn’t you be more envious of his wife? He wouldn’t show his bad side to his wife.”
“Didn’t they say they are getting a divorce?”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. From what I heard, it was a strategic marriage……”
The mere mention of Jae Oh was enough to make her nerves sensitive, and when the conversation turned to divorce, Chae Yoon wanted to cover her ears.
Her sensitive nerves turned into irritation.
‘Han Jae Oh is really not helpful.’
She wondered why he was suddenly doing things he didn’t normally do and making her think about him even at work.
Jae Oh became hateful to her.
As Chae Yoon’s sigh deepened, the team leader passing by the table said something.
“What are you all doing? Get back to work, work.”
At the team leader’s hint, the team members who had gathered dispersed.
Thanks to that, the conversation related to Jae Oh ended, but there was another commotion.
“Miss Chae Yoon. Didn’t I ask you to check this? How on earth do you work?”
The troublemaker was Deputy Director Jung.
Whether she had caught something today or not, she was scratching Chae Yoon’s nerves with much higher intensity than usual.
“What on earth did Hyun Min teach you? You can’t even do the basics. Oh, right. And this, I need this data for the Monday morning meeting, can you make it, Miss Chae Yoon?”
“Yes. I understand.”
Chae Yoon, who had no energy to deal with Deputy Director Jung, answered mechanically. At that, the corners of Deputy Director Jung’s mouth curled up into a grin.
“”If you look carefully, Chae Yoon is good at responding, but there’s nothing she actually does. This time, do it properly. There’s plenty of time, including the weekend. You got it, right?”
Without waiting for Chae Yoon’s response, Deputy Director Jung returned to his seat.
Once back, he was again discussing how the secretary of the executive director’s office was doing and talking about Jae Oh, so Chae Yoon had to desperately suppress the urge to silence Deputy Director Jung.
Several hours later.
Despite it being Friday, Chae Yoon, who ended up leaving work late because of the task assigned by Deputy Director Jung, dragged her exhausted body and headed home.
With the desire to collapse into bed and just sleep, she stepped out of the elevator, but there was someone in front of the entrance.
“You’re coming home late.”
Chae Yoon’s expression hardened at the sight of Jae Oh.

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.]
