Romance for You (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 2
-I’m about to board the plane now. I’ll call you when I arrive.
Lee Su sent a text to her dad while walking to the gate.
Her mom in London and her dad in Seoul.
The two who were once married had become strangers long ago, and Lee Su lived with her dad in Seoul, visiting her mom in London every vacation.
Her dad never hesitated to spend money on Lee Su, as if trying to compensate his hurt daughter.
Every time Lee Su went to London, her dad gladly bought her a first-class ticket.
-Sure. I’ll be waiting at the airport on time. I miss my daughter so much.
It was probably dawn in Seoul right now, yet the reply came instantly, as if he’d been waiting.
Lee Su smiled faintly at her dad’s affectionate text, then felt a surge of emotion again thinking about her mom.
The resentment and sorrow had already reached their limit, and the tears welling up in her body felt like they would spill at the slightest touch.
Before coming to the airport, her mom had cautiously brought up that she had something to say.
“Lee Su. I don’t think I can live in Seoul.”
“……”
“Um… Mom met someone good here. You’re not at an age where you absolutely need me anymore.”
When I needed you, you weren’t there.
The words that rose to her throat circled in Lee Su’s mouth before being swallowed back.
“I’m sorry. You’re an adult now… You understand Mom, right?”
When they divorced, and when Dad remarried, they did whatever they wanted and asked Lee Su to understand.
This time was no different.
She had waited with the hope of living with her mom for five years once she started college.
With just one “I’m sorry,” her mom turned that long wait into nothing.
**
Lee Su gathered strength in her legs and walked toward the arrival hall.
After crying all night, it felt like not only her tears but all her energy had drained away.
She felt so dizzy she staggered and even spilled her bag.
There had been a man who helped pick up the fallen items with her.
“I didn’t even get to say thank you.”
Her swollen eyes were embarrassing, so she couldn’t properly see his face.
His face was blurry, but the unique and impressive scent that brushed her nose when he extended his large hand was enough to wake her hazy mind.
Enough that if she met him again, she’d want to ask what perfume it was.
“Lee Su, over here!”
Jeong Won Jin, waiting at arrivals, ran over happily as if seeing his daughter after years instead of just half a month.
“You didn’t have to come pick me up.”
Lee Su lowered her head deeply, not wanting to show her still-swollen face.
Even though she knew she’d be found out anyway.
“Lee Su, your eyes…”
As expected, Jeong Won Jin’s face hardened seriously.
Seeing Lee Su’s red, swollen eyes made his heart sink.
“…You cried?”
“Dad, let’s go quickly. I’m really tired.”
Lee Su hurried her dad instead of answering.
She really was tired, too.
“You went all that way to see your mom, why did you cry? Did something happen?”
On the way home in the car, Jeong Won Jin asked worriedly.
Knowing he would keep asking until he knew the reason, Lee Su sighed and opened her mouth.
“…Mom says she can’t come to Seoul. You remember, right, Dad? That she promised to come to Seoul and live together once I started college.”
“Ah…”
Jeong Won Jin silently nodded.
After a long separation, they eventually divorced.
The discord that started from personality differences never found common ground and tore them apart.
And unable to withstand his mother’s constant nagging about worrying over her son every day, he rushed into remarriage.
It was a gentle woman his mother had introduced.
Jeong Won Jin rationalized it as an unavoidable choice, but he always felt sorry toward Lee Su.
“She says she’ll keep living in London. So…”
Thinking of her mom made Lee Su’s eyes hot again.
For the first few years after the divorce, Lee Su lived with her mom.
When her maternal grandmother in London fell seriously ill, her mom went to London, and afterward Lee Su moved to her dad’s house.
There wasn’t just Dad—there was a stepmom and the daughter she brought, all living together under the name of family.
Lee Su squeezed herself into that space.
At least that’s how it felt to Lee Su.
**
When they got home, her stepmom came out to the entrance to greet her.
In front of Dad, she always treated Lee Su like an angel.
Her dream had been to be a wise mother and good wife, and she acted like the honey on Dad’s tongue, saying she’d achieved it by meeting him.
In that sense, she was a good wife to Dad.
“Lee Su, welcome back. You must be so tired from the trip.”
“Yes.”
“Mom prepared lots of delicious food because you’re coming. Hurry and wash up, then come eat dinner.”
“Yes.”
With Dad beside her, she was perfectly kind.
Lee Su answered dryly and went up to the second floor.
“Mom, Dad even postponed his hospital appointment to go pick her up?”
Yoo Mi, who had come into the kitchen, pouted as if dissatisfied about something.
“What’s the big deal? It’s not like it’s the first or second time. When it comes to Lee Su, he’d jump out of bed in his sleep—of course a hospital appointment isn’t an issue.”
“She doesn’t even know how to be grateful to Dad.”
Yoo Mi kept grumbling.
“Shh! Are you going to keep calling Lee Su ‘her’? I told you to be careful when Dad’s around! Call her properly—big sister.”
Choi Su Min glanced nervously outside the kitchen in case her husband heard and scolded Yoo Mi.
“By months, there’s only a five-month difference between her and me—do I really have to call her big sister? It’s so annoying!”
Yoo Mi grumbled with a scowl.
“Are you going to say that in front of Dad too? Lee Su hasn’t been home in a while—come out and at least greet her! I told you to treat Lee Su well when Dad’s around.”
The first person Yoo Mi ever called Dad—instead of her biological father who died before she was born—was Jeong Won Jin.
One day, Yoo Mi suddenly had a kind and warm dad and was happy.
The existence of Jeong I Su, whom she couldn’t see, seemed like nothing.
But five years ago, when Lee Su came to this house, she realized.
The only person who could receive Dad’s absolute love without any effort was Lee Su.
“Ugh! Whatever!”
Yoo Mi snapped irritably and stormed out of the kitchen.
Entering her room looking exhausted, Lee Su just wanted to sleep.
Lee Su put her legs up on the stool and sank deeply into the single sofa.
She tilted her head back and closed her tired eyes.
Just as her mind was getting hazy and she was about to fall asleep—
Bam. Bam.
Two rough knocks, then the door burst open and Yoo Mi came in.
Lee Su narrowed her eyes, then closed them again and frowned.
“…I didn’t say you could come in.”
“I knocked. Didn’t you hear?”
Yoo Mi spoke curtly without even a “welcome back.”
Not that it was anything new.
Thinking about having to keep seeing Yoo Mi made Lee Su’s head throb.
“Let me see your student ID.”
Yoo Mi said while half-sitting on the table.
“Why?”
“I’m going to take ID photos tomorrow, so let me see it in advance.”
This year, Yoo Mi got accepted into the dance department at Korea University.
It was the result of Yoo Mi’s fierce determination to get into Korea University no matter what, combined with her stepmom’s enthusiasm and Dad’s financial power.
Yoo Mi, who had always felt inferior to Lee Su for getting into the same medical school as Dad on her first try, became very triumphant afterward.
Wanting to get Yoo Mi out quickly, Lee Su dragged her body that felt like wet cotton and stood up.
She grabbed the bag she’d thrown on the floor and reached deep inside.
Huh? Weird.
She was sure she put it in the inner pocket.
Nothing was there.
“Where did my student ID go?”
**
Class ended, and Ji Ho came out of the building.
Did he watch a movie, or did he watch Jeong I Su?
Certain scenes kept replaying in his head.
Jeong I Su quietly staring at the screen. Crying. Covering her face and shaking her shoulders.
If he waited, he would see her again next week in class.
But for some reason, that one week felt way too long to Ji Ho.
He could see the student union building diagonally across.
Which floor was the club room on again?
**
Following the long hallway, he saw a wall with a poster that read [Ski Club Recruiting New Members].
The door next to it was wide open.
Ji Ho stood at the door and looked around the surprisingly small club room.
Jeong I Su wasn’t among the group of people.
Should he wait a bit?
“Oh! Did you come to join the club?”
While Ji Ho hesitated, a brightly smiling girl strode over and asked.
“Sit here.”
As soon as Ji Ho sat where she pointed, an application form was immediately placed in front of him.
Did they do this to everyone who walked in?
Holding back a laugh, Ji Ho spoke.
“I’m not here to join. I’m here to see Jeong I Su.”
“Ah… I Su…”
The girl dragged out the end of her sentence in a suddenly lowered voice.
“Yes.”
“Then while you wait for I Su, let me introduce the club! Waiting would be boring otherwise. Haha.”
The girl raised her voice again and spoke enthusiastically.
She was receiving silent cheers from the other members watching from the side.
If word got out that Seo Ji Ho joined, the club’s promotion would be set for the day.
Everyone was watching the two of them.
It was hard to refuse the atmosphere.
“Sure.”
“Our club has lots of events even in the off-season. We do MTs in spring, summer, and fall. Every Friday in the club room…”
Ji Ho nodded half-heartedly to the girl’s words.
How many minutes passed?
He was tapping the application form with his fingertip, wondering how much longer he had to wait—
Laughter-mixed conversation came from beyond the open door.
“I Su, you don’t have bricks in your bag, right? Why is it so heavy?”
“Keke. I have a lot of books to return today.”
“Then let’s go to the library together. I’ll carry your bag.”
“No need. I’m fine. Thanks for carrying it this far.”
“I have to go to the library anyway.”
Hearing the conversation as they crossed the door, Ji Ho looked up.
Jeong I Su holding coffee in both hands and Kang Dong Woo with bags slung over both shoulders entered side by side.
They weren’t close, but he recognized the face from the same business department.
Kang Dong Woo put down the visibly heavy bag and took the coffee I Su handed him.
Ji Ho looked at I Su. His deep gaze turned toward her.
“I Su, someone came to see you.”
“Huh?”
At the girl’s whisper, I Su quickly turned her head.
Among the familiar faces, she saw the man looking at her.
When their eyes met, Dong Woo stepped in between them.
“Seo Ji Ho, what business do you have with I Su?”
Dong Woo asked Ji Ho on I Su’s behalf.
His eyes were tense, and his tone was stiff.
“If I have business, of course I came, right?”
At the ridiculous interference, Ji Ho answered crookedly.
Ji Ho took out his wallet from his pocket.
Now that he’d met Jeong I Su, he just had to return the student ID and leave.
That was the original reason he came.
But—
“You’re not trying to join the club, are you?”
Dong Woo asked again, looking at the application form in front of Ji Ho.
It was phrased as a question, but it didn’t sound like one.
It sounded like “you shouldn’t.”
Ji Ho lightly frowned, glanced down at the paper on the table, then smirked.
What’s the big deal?
“Nothing saying I can’t.”
Impulsively grabbing the pen, his large hand boldly filled in the blanks.
It wasn’t something the usual Ji Ho would do.
Having filled everything out, Ji Ho stood up and walked to I Su.
He held out the student ID he’d taken from his wallet.
“Oh! How did you…”
I Su’s eyes widened as she took the ID in surprise.
“Don’t you remember me?”
“……”
They had briefly made eye contact, yet her expression showed no recognition of Ji Ho at all.
He’d heard he was handsome his whole life until he was sick of it, but was he really that bad that day?
“See you again next time. Make sure you remember then.”
Ji Ho smiled brightly at I Su and turned around.
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.]
