The darkness enveloping the child slowly faded away.
Seoha let herself be completely held by Taekyung, like a fledgling bird protected in the nest of its mother.
The two were rescued from the elevator sooner than expected.
“Are you okay?”
A 119 rescue worker was waiting in front of the elevator.
Soaked in cold sweat, Seoha leaned on Taekyung as they stepped out and nodded her head.
Taekyung calmly helped Seoha into the ambulance and accompanied her to the hospital.
Arriving at the hospital, Taekyung called Myunghoon to explain the situation.
Oh my, that was a close call. Thank you. I don’t know how to repay Mr. Han for this kindness.
“Don’t worry too much about Seoha. I will take good care of her today and bring her home as soon as she’s discharged. Is Minjun okay? It might be good to tell him that his mother went on a business trip so he doesn’t get worried.”
Minjun is fine. He’s quite mature for his age. Please take good care of our Seoha.
“Yes, sir. I will do my best.”
Taekyung ended the call with Myunghoon and sat beside Seoha, who was receiving an IV drip.
Seoha was asleep, receiving a sedative through the IV. Taekyung gazed at her peacefully sleeping face.
Her face looked half its size in just a few hours. Her pale face shone even whiter in the moonlight.
She looked like an illusion that would disappear if touched.
Taekyung held Seoha’s hand.
Seoha’s hand twitched, and her eyelids fluttered.
“Taekyung… oppa?”
“Yes, it’s me. I guess I woke you up. Sorry.”
“It’s okay.”
“How are you feeling?”
“Much better.”
Seoha’s voice was weak, as if she had exhausted her energy. Taekyung’s face looked like he was about to cry.
Taekyung, known for his cynicism, showed such vulnerability only to Seoha.
“Why do you look like that?”
“You too.”
At Taekyung’s words, Seoha gave a faint, twisted smile.
Taekyung couldn’t bring himself to say he was afraid of losing her.
A few days ago.
Yuna visited Taekyung’s company. She came herself as Taekyung had been avoiding meeting her.
“Welcome.”
“It’s been a while. Is Taekyung here?”
“No, he’s in a meeting right now.”
“I see. Then I’ll wait inside.”
Yuna, with a haughty smile, turned the doorknob of Taekyung’s office.
She comfortably entered as if it was her own office and looked around. Then, an envelope on Taekyung’s desk caught her eye.
“Are there still people sending documents in paper envelopes?”
Yuna casually looked at the sender’s name on the envelope.
A chill ran down her spine as she recognized the name, a university senior who ran a genetics lab, well-known to her.
What could Taekyung possibly have to receive from this senior by registered mail?
Yuna’s curiosity intensified.
Could it be a DNA test related to Seoha’s child?
Her suspicion gradually turned into conviction.
Yuna quickly stuffed the envelope into her bag.
She sat on the sofa, biting her nails. She wondered if taking Taekyung’s documents was the right thing to do.
What if it turned out to be nothing significant?
Just as Yuna decided to put the documents back on the desk, Taekyung’s stern voice was heard.
“What are you doing here?”
A surge of defiant emotion arose in Yuna at Taekyung’s cold treatment.
Regardless of what the documents were, Yuna felt she had to see them for herself.
“I have every right to be here. Taekyung.”
“It’s not a place you should be.”
“This weekend, my father wants to see you.”
Yuna fabricated the story. She knew Taekyung wouldn’t easily agree to meet her father, Cheolwook.
“Sorry, but it’s better not to meet now.”
“My father wants to see you, isn’t that too rude?”
Yuna’s pride was hurt, but she had anticipated Taekyung’s response and concealed her emotions in her reply.
Taekyung was unfazed by Yuna’s criticism.
Instead, he rejected her request more plausibly under the guise of a reason.
“Because he’s your father. As your father is running for the presidential election, how would it look to others if I met him? Don’t let the shrimps get caught in the fight of whales. Refuse him yourself.”
“… No, you should support my father. Rather than being a shrimp, shouldn’t you become another whale?”
“I have no intention whatsoever of doing that. Just let me be a shrimp. I’m not interested in being a whale. And make sure you don’t come here again.”
“It won’t be that way. We will get married eventually. I’ll leave for today. I’ll talk to my father.”
Even though she said this, Taekyung wasn’t the kind to show up.
Yuna ignored Taekyung’s wishes. She turned around and left, clutching her bag tightly.
Yuna hurriedly returned to her house. She closed and locked her room door.
After catching her breath and calming her racing heart, she cautiously opened her bag and took out the envelope.
She smoothed out the crumpled envelope with her hands.
Carefully, she opened the envelope and took out the papers inside.
Yuna covered her mouth with her hand as she read the contents.
“Gasps!”
It was undoubtedly the name of Kim Seoha’s son.
“This, Taekyung must not know about this. Never. He should think he’s someone else’s child.”
Yuna’s hands trembled. Nothing else came to her mind.
Only the thought that Minjun being Taekyung’s biological child must be kept secret.
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.]
