Ji Na, holding the liquor bottle, poured alcohol into Director Jung’s empty glass. Ji Na’s unstable form was extremely precarious. As the liquor bottle shook, alcohol spilled out of the glass. At the same time, Director Jung’s expression crumbled.
“Hey.”
“Sosorry.”
Ji Na, apologizing with a heavily slurred tongue, held onto the liquor bottle until the end. As a result, alcohol gushed out of the tilted bottle.
People around the table where the alcohol had overflowed were taken aback, pulling out tissues, and the spilled alcohol ultimately dampened Director Jung’s pants.
“What is this!”
Director Jung, who had sprung up from his seat, pushed Ji Na away while shouting.
His pants, already soaked wet, looked as though he had urinated in them. Do Jin quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe Director Jung’s pants, and Ji Na, pushed away by the director, staggered.
The one who caught Ji Na, just about to fall to the ground, was Jin Woo. Just before she lost consciousness, what flickered in Ji Na’s vision was Jin Woo’s handsome face, looking even angrier than before.
“Jin Woo….”
Soon after, Ji Na lost consciousness.
When she came to her senses vaguely, Ji Na groaned while holding her forehead. Her head hurt as if it were splitting.
“Uh….”
“Have you come to your senses?”
A soft voice was heard nearby. Ji Na slowly opened her eyes.
“Sister.”
The man who was looking at Ji Na with a gentle smile, Seo Jin Woo. Jin Woo was standing in front of Ji Na.
“Huh?”
Startled, she became fully alert. Jin Woo seemed to have just finished a shower, wearing a bathrobe. The firm muscles of his upper body shining through the robe were glowing with the remaining moisture.
“What, what is this.”
No way. No way. No way. As she squeezed out a cracked voice, Seo Jin Woo approached Ji Na with a grin. In the meantime, Ji Na quickly checked her body under the covers.
“Do you want to know in detail?”
Fortunately, Ji Na’s clothes were still intact.
“You spilled alcohol all over the table, and even on the director’s pants, then you passed out.”
“Ah!”
She didn’t have the courage to hear the rest of his words. Ji Na promptly apologized.
“I’m sorry.”
Thinking about vomiting in front of the grumpy Director Jung, Ji Na’s vision darkened and she stopped talking.
“Sigh… Director Jung is a serious AA type, he will never forget even if the world ends, with his persistent resentment.”
Watching Ji Na like this, Seo Jin Woo laughed lightly.
“Do you want to drink some water?”
Accepting the cup of water he handed over, Ji Na rolled her eyes around the room.
“Where is this?”
The night view of the city was visible through the window from the bed.
“This is my home.”
“Nice home…”
It was a stunning house that naturally drew out an exclamation. Especially, the city’s night view shining like stars was so beautiful that she couldn’t take her eyes off it.
“I guess I really lived my life just working without any free time.”
Ji Na murmured without realizing it.
“I didn’t know when to take a break, it seems like I just kept moving forward.”
The times when she had just lived and worked, passed by like a film reel.
“Maybe the alcohol hasn’t worn off completely. You’ve suddenly become emotional.”
Ji Na lowered her head with an embarrassed expression.
“Thank you for taking care of me and not leaving me. I’ll be on my way now.”
Ji Na folded the soft blanket and stepped down. The distance between her and Jin Woo, who had been standing at the bed, suddenly closed.
Jin Woo’s eyes shone moistly, just like his hair which was still wet. The lights of the city reflected in his eyes twinkled, perhaps because of the moisture.
“I’ll drive you home.”
Feeling like her heart would explode, Ji Na hastily turned her gaze. He was closer than she had thought.
“No, it’s okay. I can’t impose anymore.”
Ji Na quickly stepped down and got off the bed. As she passed by Jin Woo, she could distinctly feel his sweet body scent. For some reason, Ji Na’s ankles wavered.
“Team Manager Kim Do Jin.”
At the sound of Jin Woo’s voice coming softly from behind, Ji Na’s steps halted.
“Seems to be quite loyal.”
Jin Woo’s soft voice sounded like he was teasing her. At his unexpected tone, Ji Na turned her head to look at Jin Woo.
Against the backdrop of the increasingly shining city night view, Seo Jin Woo stood there, relaxed as if he were the king of the city.
The muscles that were nicely placed between his loosely worn robe appeared prominent in the dim light.
“What?”
Seo Jin Woo’s gaze was stubbornly directed at her. The air felt hot just from their direct eye contact. Her heart tightened with the mysterious tension given by the night.
“He took care of his boss at the company instead of his drunk girlfriend. He’ll succeed.”
She distantly looked at Seo Jin Woo’s expression, which seemed to be sarcastic, and a bit bitter.
“What do you want to say?”
Ji Na asked, panting.
She belatedly realized that it was dangerous to be alone in Seo Jin Woo’s house. Ji Na looked at Jin Woo with anxious eyes.
Did he by any chance find out?
That Kim Do Jin is my boyfriend…?
That he doesn’t show any affection towards me…?
As various thoughts intermingled, her throat felt dry.
Especially, she didn’t want to show it to him. The miserable state just before being abandoned.
Did he see it too? The look in Do Jin’s eyes without a hint of affection.
“I wouldn’t let anyone touch her if it were me.”
Seo Jin Woo, who had come close, murmured as he looked down at Ji Na.
“You must be confident. That you won’t lose her to me.”
The look in Seo Jin Woo’s eyes towards Ji Na seemed strangely sad.
“I was the first, you know.”
So, she couldn’t stop his words.
“I loved her first and still,”
His mouth tasted bitter as if alcohol was still lingering.
“I love her so much….”
Even in the darkness, Seo Jin Woo’s eyes shone moistly. They flickered sadly, like one of the countless lights. His appearance seemed too poignant.
However, all Ji Na could do was to lick her lips; she couldn’t provide any comfort or hope.
Because she…
Before long, as if making a decision, Seo Jin Woo’s eyes sparkled.
“I’m going to shake things up from now on. So,”
Seo Jin Woo’s large, warm hand cradled Ji Na’s cheek.
“Hold on.”
Then, Seo Jin Woo’s lips descended.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
