Seunghoon cheerfully called out in an excited tone. Thanks to this, he didn’t notice the formidable aura approaching from behind.
“What’s so good about it?”
At the unexpectedly heard voice, Seunghoon was taken aback and swiftly put the mobile phone he had been holding against his ear into his pocket.
Embarrassed, Seunghoon’s face turned beet red.
“Cha, Cha, Director Cha…? What brings you here for what reason?”
His question drew Junghyuk’s gaze toward the gate. A notice was attached in bold and clear font: “Unauthorized entry prohibited.”
“I have a connection here. Is Mr. Jisangmu also considered a person with a connection?”
“No, no, I just… I just had somewhere I hadn’t seen before, so I was checking. Well, then, have a good day!”
Openly scrutinizing the suspicious Seunghoon with a pleasant look, Junghyuk felt a short vibration and raised his phone.
A short message appeared on the screen, and a gentle smile spread across Junghyuk’s lips.
A nameless bird fluttered across the stained glass as if frolicking. Then, as if nothing had happened, nothing happened outside the window again.
Dajeong quietly stared at the uneventful scene outside the window. There was not an absolute lack of change. The sky felt a bit more sluggish than when she left home.
The morning news weather forecast mentioned that due to the influence of autumn rain, a considerable amount of rain was expected to fall throughout Seoul and Gyeonggi from the afternoon onwards.
Perhaps because of this, from last night, Jeongae began to complain of neuralgia here and there. Since it was a day for treatment, she promptly pushed Jeongae into the treatment room of the Oriental medicine clinic.
Weekday morning. The waiting room, famous for its neatly arranged acupuncture, was full of patients and their guardians waiting for treatment.
The smell of herbal medicine and moxa pierced the nose, and the wait was tedious.
Dajeong, blinking her plump eyes, opened and closed her mobile phone several times and finally entered a message.
“What are you doing?”
The hesitating fingertips pressed the send button. The recipient was Cha Junghyuk.
There was no other meaning. It’s just that not contacting for a few days bothered her a little.
Buzz. A reply came back quickly. Dajeong opened the window as if she had been waiting.
“I’m thinking about you.”
Looking at the simple and short message, Dajeong playfully brushed her cheek with a fiery touch and pressed the keyboard again.
“What is it? Childish.”
Buzz.
“I want to see you too.”
“……. ”
In any case, it couldn’t be stopped. Dajeong pressed her lips tightly, trying to suppress her laughter.
When contemplating what to reply, Jeongae came out of the treatment room. Dajeong promptly closed her phone and stood up.
“Mom, let’s eat lunch and go in. Just tell me. What do you want to eat for lunch?”
At Dajeong’s suggestion, Jeongae nodded her head brightly but couldn’t decide on a menu right away. Since dining out was uncommon, it wasn’t easy to think of what she wanted to eat.
“How about refreshing cold noodles? You like cold noodles, Mom.”
“Okay, let’s go with that.”
Smiling bitterly at Jeongae, who nodded decisively this time, Dajeong felt sorry for the fact that she had never taken her mom out for cold noodles since Siwoo was born.
Whether Jeongae really liked cold noodles was unclear. It was ambiguous because she had never tried a variety of foods together to figure out what her mom liked.
The menu in memory during outings was simple. Usually, it was Jajangmyeon, and in hot summers, it was cold noodles. That was about it.
Even so, doesn’t everyone eat a bowl of cold noodles in the summer? However, since Siwoo was born, Dajeong suddenly felt guilty about never taking her mom out for a bowl of cold noodles.
The famous chain cold noodle restaurant was packed with customers during lunchtime. However, due to early dining and rising office workers, there were soon vacant seats without much waiting.
Each person chose either water cold noodles or spicy cold noodles, and they also ordered a small size of braised short ribs.
“Mom, eat a lot.”
Dajeong said, cutting the noodles and offering. Having tasted the chilled broth, Jeongae nodded as if to say it was worth eating.
While enjoying the meal at a leisurely pace, Jeongae’s gaze suddenly turned towards the table next to them. The reason was a boy of about three years old screaming loudly.
The child was extremely restless. Not only did he scream, but he also pounded the table with a spoon, kicked the chair legs, and even kicked into the air.
No matter how much of a child he was, anyone would furrow their brows. A more serious problem was that the man and woman who seemed to be the child’s parents showed no intention of controlling the child at all.
It was a scene sometimes seen in a restaurant, and Dajeong continued her meal without paying much attention.
That’s when an object of unknown identity suddenly flew into Jeongae’s cold noodle bowl. With a clattering sound, the broth splashed in all directions.
Dajeong couldn’t close her mouth as she looked at the object that fell into her cold noodle bowl. It was nothing other than a pair of sneakers belonging to the child.
Shocked, she quickly turned to the next table. Only then did she meet eyes with the boy’s mother, who was discreetly getting up. She turned out to be a pregnant woman with a reasonably full belly.
Approaching the mother-and-child table, the approaching woman carefully examined Jeongae’s cold noodle bowl and, without reservation, vented her frustration toward her child.
“Oh, what do we do? It’s all wet. Jongwoo! What did I tell you to wear when you go home!”
“……. ”
Dajeong let out a sigh. It was truly beyond words because it was so absurd. With an unkind look, the woman forced a smile and threw a bitter remark.
“Order a new bowl of cold noodles. We’ll pay for it.”
Dajeong finally exploded at the woman’s attitude as she turned away with a composed demeanor.
“Look at this! Young mom. Making such a mess while someone is eating peacefully. Can’t you see that my mom’s clothes are all splattered? In a situation like this, an apology comes first!”
The woman was brazen.
“No, the child might do that. Why don’t adults have any understanding when they grow up?”
“Understanding? Don’t make excuses for the child. As a mom raising a child myself, before complaining about educating the child, you should point out cases that you should take care of!”
“Ah, hey. Can’t you say it a bit more gently? Can’t you see I’m pregnant? Oh, my belly.”
The woman began to whine with an unpleasant tone. Then, the husband who had been sleeping got up and approached.
“Jongwoo’s mom. What’s wrong?”
Why is everyone making a fuss after hearing everything? The couple’s behavior was nothing short of ridiculous.
“Oh, dear. I think the child was surprised. Oh, my belly is craving.”
The woman whined with a complaining voice. At that moment, the woman’s husband, with his shoulders broad, approached with an intimidating look.
“Ma’am. Kids can make mistakes while playing. Does that mean you can yell at a pregnant woman? Quickly apologize to our wife.”
“Huh! Hey, mister. You should be the one to apologize first. Our mom was just having a peaceful meal, and can’t you see that her clothes are all soaked?”
“I mean, you can just give her money for laundry. Why does the woman have to make a fuss?”
Dajeong couldn’t close her mouth in shock.
“Fuss? Making a fuss? Hey, mister. Did I say the woman is making a fuss? And when did I use informal language with you?”
When questioned about his rude behavior, the man responded defiantly.
“If you don’t like it, have your husband come! Just call your husband, then.”
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.
