Even though Yu Ri voiced her concern, Director Jang, who had approached them, cut her off before she could finish.
In Ho’s constant heavy sighs leaked out.
He turned his body towards Director Jang.
And so, the hand that had been holding onto his sleeve was naturally shrugged off.
The expression on Yu Ri’s face as she looked down at her dismissed hand was unusual.
However, it was far from enough to catch In Ho’s attention.
“I’m really sorry.”
In Ho bowed deeply to Director Jang.
Despite his overly polite attitude, Director Jang’s anger rose, but soon he harshly brushed it off and comforted In Ho’s shoulders.
“Is something going on?”
“No…… I haven’t been able to sleep for a few days, so I guess I can’t concentrate because I’m tired. Director, I’m sorry, but can I take a break for about 30 minutes before going back to shooting?”
“Will 30 minutes be enough?”
“That will be plenty.”
“Phew, okay. Let’s do that. Let’s do better in 30 minutes, okay?”
“Yes. Thank you.”
In Ho managed to muster a forced smile and bowed his head once more.
“We’ll continue filming in 30 minutes!”
The assistant director, who was next to Director Jang, shouted loudly.
In Ho quickly left the set.
From his retreating back, someone was unable to take their eyes off him for a long time, but In Ho didn’t notice.
((())) ((())) ((()))
“Hyung, here. Energy drink.”
“Thank you.”
As soon as In Ho got into the van, he took the energy drink can that Myung Woo handed him.
His bobbing adam’s apple was anything but smooth as he gulped down the contents.
Myung Woo stared at In Ho carefully, and cautiously licked his lips.
“Hyung, did something happen with your wife?”
“What?”
“No, I mean. You were doing fine until yesterday, but today you can’t focus at all and you keep NGing, which is unlike you……”
For a moment, In Ho glared sharply at Myung Woo, then quickly shut his eyes.
What could Myung Woo have done wrong?
Like Myung Woo said, he was the one who couldn’t focus and kept making NGs.
“Haah……”
In Ho let out a deep sigh.
It was a complete mess.
He wasn’t a rookie who had been acting for 1, 2 years, but a pro who had been in the business for over 10 years.
In Ho never wasted a single moment during his years of building up his career.
His creed and goal was to become the best actor.
As he grew in his career, he shone as a professional, and never once failed to live up to the term top star.
He was a popular actor and star, not only with the public but also with the staff he worked with.
But today was an exception.
In Ho was unable to fully focus on the filming.
The look on Su Yeon’s face that he saw just before going to the guest room last night kept flashing before his eyes.
Like any other day, Su Yeon was lying on the bed with a dry expression devoid of any emotion.
Her dark slip and hair, usually neatly tied up, was roaming around her waist.
She looked perfect for seducing a man.
But to In Ho, all it did was make his heart feel suffocated.
He couldn’t remember exactly when it started, but such a scene with Su Yeon occurred regularly, once a month, like a monthly event.
She showed an incomprehensible obsession as if getting pregnant was her lifeline.
In Ho was growing tired of Su Yeon’s demeanor.
He passed Su Yeon with a poker face and went into the bathroom.
Then, as he washed his body, he soberly chewed over the monotonous thoughts that came to his mind.
After finishing his shower and stepping out of the bathroom, he would be faced with a wife whose face showed no trace of emotion, asking for an intimate night due to her ovulation.
Then, a series of actions, per the manual, would ensue.
This had been the routine for a few months now, so it was not difficult to anticipate.
That’s how he thought and left it at that.
He finished his shower in the usual sequence, staring blankly at his reflection in the mirror, and stepped out of the bathroom in his pajama pants.
That’s when the problem occurred.
Just as he was leaving the bathroom, he faced Su Yeon, who was exactly as he had predicted.
At that moment, a question filled his mind, one he had never thought of during all the nights they spent together.
‘Why do I have to spend a meaningless night, once a month, with a woman who has no feelings for me?’
Even when he looked at Su Yeon with uninspired eyes just before his shower, even as he showered predicting the situation that would occur later.
It was an emotional shift he hadn’t anticipated at all.
And that was why.
In Ho couldn’t hold back and poured all the emotions he felt in that moment onto Su Yeon.
“Sigh……”
In Ho let out a deep sigh.
The look on Su Yeon’s face, which had been engraved in his mind at the end of his rambling words, wouldn’t erase.
She looked as if she had no motivation for life, void of any emotions.
“Why are you making such a face……!”
“……Brother?”
In Ho was ranting in an irritated voice, but soon shut his mouth tight.
Even when he heard the startled voice of Myung Woo that followed, he only clenched his teeth harder.
His heart was uncomfortable.
His insides were a mess, impossible to describe in words.
That kept scattering his concentration.
“Sigh.”
In Ho let out a sigh, not knowing how many he had done so far.
Somehow, he had to regain his composure.
The reason for his discomfort was because he had hurt Su Yeon.
It was a very personal thought, not fitting for someone in the middle of a shoot.
Moreover, the wound already imprinted in Su Yeon’s heart couldn’t be reversed even if he regretted it now.
Eventually, to gather his feelings, he needed to apologize to Su Yeon after facing her……
Reaching this point in his thoughts, In Ho took a deep breath to calm his mind.
For now, he needed to regain his condition.
That way, he could finish the shoot as soon as possible and go to Su Yeon.
Especially after he had already caused too much inconvenience to the many staff gathered at the shooting site.
So, he had to control his mind during the barely gained 30 minutes and somehow create a condition where he could proceed with the shoot.
With this thought, he gently closed his eyes, but soon after, he heard a knock on the window.
The forced calmness he had created shattered instantly.
Irritation flooded him to the point of indescribable.
In Ho instinctively scowled and turned his head towards the right window.
What reflected in his eyes was glass.
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.]
