Ji Ho, who had arrived before Lee Soo, was watching from the car for Lee Soo to come.
Lee Soo, who had been walking with her phone to her ear, looked around as if she was waiting for someone, and then she saw Dong Woo happily running after her.
‘It’s uncomfortable for you to get off the car with me, but it’s okay to go around like that with Dong Woo.’
Ji Ho swept his face with his large hand.
He felt a hot surge from inside.
He let out a deep sigh and watched the two.
It was bitter, but he couldn’t help it even though he understood the reason Lee Soo was uncomfortable.
“Brother!”
Someone knocked on the car window.
“Ji Ho Brother!”
When he turned his head, Yumi was standing outside the car door with a smile.
Ji Ho got out of the car.
“Oh, Yumi.”
“It’s such a coincidence to meet like this in the morning!”
Yumi spoke brightly with a fresh voice.
Yumi, who had noticed Ji Ho’s car heading to the parking lot while walking to the main gate, came running to the parking lot with joy.
Meeting Ji Ho by chance on a Monday morning, she couldn’t hide her sincere smile.
Ji Ho’s gaze was still following the path where Lee Soo and Dong Woo were walking together.
“Brother! If you have time now, instead of doing this here, do you want to go drink coffee?”
Yumi was pulling Ji Ho’s arm and acting cute.
“We only ate food last time and didn’t drink coffee. I’ll buy it today.”
Coffee? She could see a cafe on the path where Lee Soo and Dong Woo were heading.
It seemed like those two were also going to drink coffee now.
Ji Ho even felt like he was being robbed of Lee Soo, whom he had brought with great care, by Dong Woo.
‘It’s supposed to be me, not Dong Woo, who should drink coffee with Lee Soo…’
“Okay, let’s go. For a coffee.”
“Hoho, okay, brother.”
Yumi smiled, raising the corners of her mouth as much as possible.
((()))((()))
As she pressed the automatic door button, the cafe entrance door opened smoothly.
Despite it being early morning, the inside of the cafe was crowded with people.
“What would you like to drink?”
As they entered the cafe, Dong Woo asked.
“I’ll have a vanilla latte. And you?”
“I’ll have the same. Sit down. I’ll go order.”
“No, it doesn’t seem like we’ll have time to sit and drink. Let’s drink while walking.”
Lee Soo and Dong Woo stood side by side at the end of the long line.
“Did you come up well yesterday?”
Dong Woo asked, observing Lee Soo’s expression.
She should have arrived at the accommodation by 3 o’clock at the latest, then she could have answered the phone after that.
What had she been doing without answering the phone all day.
He wanted to ask if she had been with Ji Ho all the time, but he couldn’t open his mouth easily.
“Yeah. I came up well.”
Lee Soo’s short answer sounded like she didn’t want to talk about it in detail.
Dong Woo just nodded with a light smile.
It was when there were 5 teams standing in line in front of Lee Soo and Dong Woo.
A familiar voice rang in Lee Soo’s ears from directly behind her.
“Brother, what are you going to drink?”
“……”
“I’m going to drink a strawberry smoothie. What about you? Are you going to drink coffee?”
“……”
“Brother, shall we eat tiramisu too? I’m hungry because I didn’t eat breakfast, what about you?”
“……”
The nagging voice continued to tickle Lee Soo’s ears.
Her voice was a little higher than usual, but Lee Soo realized that it was Yumi in no time.
It seemed like she came with someone, but the person she called brother didn’t say anything, and Yumi was talking all the time.
‘Should I pretend to know? Should I pretend not to know? Will Yumi recognize me.’
Throughout waiting in line, she was completely focused on what was behind her.
‘I should just not turn around until the end, buy coffee and leave.’
It was the moment when Lee Soo decided.
“I’ll have an iced coffee.”
Ji Ho’s unmistakable voice could be heard.
Lee Soo’s eyes widened in surprise.
It was Yumi and Ji Ho who came together.
‘Ji Ho would have been watching me from behind all this time.’
Lee Soo felt a choking sensation in her throat and her heart throbbed loudly at that moment.
Ji ho’s voice elicited a similar reaction from Dong Woo.
Dong Woo’s head abruptly spun around.
“Oh! It’s Ji ho.”
“Yeah. Dong Woo.”
At Ji ho’s calm voice, Lee Soo lightly bit her lower lip and just stared ahead.
Her facial muscles stiffened awkwardly, making it difficult to control her expression.
Dong Woo looked at Lee Soo, who was standing still and only staring ahead, with a puzzled look.
Lee Soo, hesitating about what to do, belatedly turned her head little by little.
“Haah… I don’t know.”
“Oh! It’s Ji ho.”
“Why are you so surprised?”
Ji ho’s tone sounded a little brusque, perhaps due to Lee Soo’s mood.
Ji ho didn’t intend to make Lee Soo uncomfortable, but he felt a heat rise within him the moment he saw her with Dong Woo.
Knowing it was childish, he still ended up chasing them here and pretending to know them.
“Oh? I didn’t expect to see you here.”
At the end of Lee Soo’s gaze, Yumi’s face came into view as she looked at Ji ho.
Yumi, who belatedly realized it was Lee Soo, was just as flustered and surprised as her.
“I just wanted to have some coffee.”
There was a hint of resentment in Lee Soo, who was clearly aware of her presence and was pretending not to.
It couldn’t mean not to pretend to know even though they agreed to meet without anyone knowing.
“I see. Enjoy your drink then.”
While Ji ho and Lee Soo faced each other, Yumi alternately looked at both of them.
Yumi looked at Lee Soo as if she didn’t know her.
Yumi, who was watching their expressions, found it a little strange.
‘What’s with this awkward atmosphere when he gifted her perfume and even dropped her off at home?’
Lee Soo seemed to be reluctantly acknowledging her, and Ji ho’s tone was also somewhat displeased.
While their expressions were ambiguous, they certainly didn’t look pleased.
Seeing them together with her own eyes, it seemed like they really didn’t have any relationship, just like Lee Soo said.
‘Then that’s that. There’s no way Ji ho oppa would like someone like Lee Soo.’
Yumi’s lips began to curl up at the corners.
“Sir, would you like to place an order?”
At the sound of the cafe staff’s call, Lee Soo turned her head back to the front.
“Two vanilla lattes, please.”
After paying, Lee Soo and Dong Woo stepped out of the line.
Standing and waiting for their ordered drinks, she could feel Yumi’s gaze.
A quick glance revealed Yumi standing close to Ji ho, flaunting a relaxed smile.
Yumi’s hand was holding Ji ho’s elbow as if she was awkwardly folding her arms.
‘Is she doing that on purpose to show me?’
Lee Soo found Yumi amusing.
While suppressing a giggle, she looked at Ji ho.
Ji ho seemed to not care whether Yumi was holding his arm or not.
‘Does he know and is pretending not to know? It should be impossible not to know, are they so comfortable that folding arms is not a big deal.’
Lee Soo clenched her fist at the slightly tingling feeling at her fingertips.
Despite knowing that there was no room for jealousy, her mood was far from good.

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.]
