First-year students were mainly responsible for most of the preparations, but seniors with experience from last year’s pub were to provide necessary support.
“Lee Soo and I will help in the kitchen making side dishes. It shouldn’t be too hard if we do similar ones to last year.”
Lee Soo and Aera decided to help in the kitchen.
Following that, volunteers quickly filled in roles for accounting, hall serving, dishwashing, promotion, and ingredient preparation.
“Hey Jun, is Ji-ho not coming today?”
Jae-ho, a physics major classmate, asked.
“He said he couldn’t make it because of another commitment.”
“If Ji-ho were to serve in the hall, it would be perfect.”
“If word gets out Ji-ho is serving, we wouldn’t even need to promote.”
“The girls would probably line up to eat. It might get too crowded, right? What do you think?”
The classmates discussed Ji-ho’s potential role.
“Hey, too many people can be a problem. Remember, we even had to close club sign-ups early this year because of Ji-ho. How are we going to handle a mob?”
Ju-hee, not wanting the pub to become too chaotic, frowned.
“Don’t worry too much. If it gets crowded, just have them wait in line. Let’s make our pub a hit this time. Opportunities like this don’t come often.”
“Guys, don’t get ahead of yourselves. Ji-ho didn’t even agree to help.”
“That’s your job, Jun. You’re closest to him, so try to persuade him.”
The original Korean paragraph contains 30 lines. Here is the English translation, maintaining the exact same number of lines:
“I’m not sure if he’ll listen to me…. It’s not just about serving at the bar, I’m not even sure if he’ll come that day.”
Ha-jun looked uncertain.
He knew Ji-ho wasn’t one to easily follow others’ requests.
“Then call him right now and ask.”
The classmates’ attention turned to Ha-jun.
Sighing deeply, Ha-jun took out his phone and called Ji-ho.
After a few rings, Ji-ho’s voice came through.
[Yeah. What’s up?]“Hey, Ji-ho. You know about our club’s bar event, right?”
[Yeah.]“We’re dividing roles right now. So, I was wondering if you could take on serving that day.”
[….]Ji-ho was currently meeting with Hyung-joo, working on the arrangement of a song he composed.
Though he had already released several songs of his own, he always sought Hyung-joo’s advice for new projects.
In the middle of a serious conversation, Ji-ho chuckled at Ha-jun’s call.
‘They want me to serve at the bar?’
So, this was the kind of fun they talked about in the club.
“Everyone wants you there.”
[Let me think about it…]“Alright. Think it over and let me know. I’ll hang up now.”
Ha-jun wanted to add that Lee Soo would be there too, but couldn’t say it in front of his classmates.
“You heard? Ji-ho will think about it.”
“Just bring him along on the day. It’s just about showing up on time for serving.”
Regardless of what Ji-ho said, the classmates entrusted Ha-jun with the responsibility.
The meeting ended early, leaving Ha-jun with this task.
As he was leaving, Ha-jun approached Lee Soo.
“Lee Soo.”
“Yes?”
“About Ji-ho serving at the bar. Could you just mention it to him?”
“Me? I don’t think Ji-ho would want to do that.”
Lee Soo couldn’t imagine Ji-ho serving drinks and side dishes at the bar.
“No, I think if he knows you’re involved, he’ll agree right away.”
Ha-jun knew better than anyone how much Ji-ho did for Lee Soo.
Though Ji-ho wouldn’t normally consider bar serving, knowing Lee Soo would be there might change his mind.
“I’ll talk to him, but I won’t force him. If Ji-ho doesn’t want to, I can’t do anything.”
“That’s enough! Just a word from you is all we need.”
Ha-jun smiled, feeling relieved.
[Star icon][Star icon]Getting off the bus, Lee Soo took out her phone as she walked home.
She had left a message for Ji-ho to call her as soon as she got home.
Ji-ho’s voice came through after just one ring.
[Lee Soo.]“Wow, you picked up fast.”
[I was waiting.]Though clearly on the phone, Ji-ho’s voice seemed to come from behind her.
As Lee Soo slowly lowered the phone from her ear, she said,
“Ji-ho?”
Something felt off. As she turned her head back, suddenly Ji-ho’s hand wrapped around her waist.
Lee Soo was pulled into Ji-ho’s embrace like a magnet.
Ji-ho hugged her from behind, resting his head gently on her shoulder.
“Oh my! You scared me. When did you get here?”
The original Korean paragraph contains 30 lines. Here is the English translation, maintaining the exact same number of lines:
Lee Soo, with surprise in her eyes, only turned her head to the side and asked.
Ji-ho’s face was so close that Lee Soo’s lips almost touched his.
“When I sent you the text earlier.”
Ji-ho, having lightly kissed Lee Soo’s cheek, smiled broadly and spoke.
“I waited here instead of picking you up from school, in case you didn’t like that. Did you drink?”
“Yeah, just one beer.”
Lee Soo tried to free herself from Ji-ho’s hold, but he wouldn’t budge.
Ji-ho held her tightly, not letting go, like a mother bird embracing her chick.
“Let’s stay like this for a moment. I’ve been holding back the urge to hold you all day.”
Feeling helplessly captured in his firm grip, Lee Soo strangely felt thrilled and her heart fluttered.
She could feel Ji-ho’s intense heartbeat through her back, pressed against his chest.
Soon, Ji-ho’s soft and warm lips touched the nape of Lee Soo’s neck.
It felt like a tingle of electricity, making Lee Soo twist slightly.
“That tickles.”
Only then did Ji-ho’s arms relax, freeing Lee Soo from his embrace.
Lee Soo slowly turned around to face Ji-ho.
“It’s disappointing we only greet each other at school. I always want to hug you and hold your hand like this.”
Gazing into Ji-ho’s eyes, brimming with affection for a long time, Lee Soo slowly opened her mouth.
Looking at him, she felt like she could tell him anything.
Though unplanned, she felt she could speak her mind in this mood.
“Ji-ho, there’s something I haven’t told you.”
From the moment she decided to confess, Lee Soo’s heart started to beat loudly.
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.]
