Her heart throbbed at his confession, and she felt as if she could fly to the sky at any moment.
But was it because she dared to be greedy? Was it because her heart fluttered when she received a confession from Jin Woo, who was not a match for her?
Not long after, Jin Woo went far away.
Ji Na, who ran out of the company, clenched her fist tightly. Pain arose from the fingernails digging into the palm.
“Ha, ha.”
She was out of breath. Ji Na barely stood at the bus stop, holding back her tears.
She was no longer the young and naive girl of 10 years ago. In theory, it was obviously true.
‘You have to live up to your station.’
That’s correct. As if to pull herself together, Ji Na rubbed her eyes, which were hot as if tears were about to fall.
Even if she might hurt Jin Woo’s feelings now, ultimately, it was for Jin Woo. Ji Na, who barely got on the bus with her staggering legs, swayed helplessly following the shaking movement of the bus.
‘Was it really greed?’
She remembered the things she had reluctantly suppressed in the dusty past. Was it not a dream that a young girl could naturally dream of? Those were the moments that still came to mind from time to time.
Was her relationship with Do Jin also a result of her greed, and hence, she was hurt like this?
‘You’re wasting your boyfriend.’
When she revealed her relationship with Do Jin, it was the first thing Min Hye said. Ji Na felt her existence was infinitely pathetic.
She couldn’t understand why a good man like Do Jin would want to see her, so she did everything Do Jin wanted. If it could help his promotion even a little, she willingly did not only her part but everything.
Perhaps that was why.

Ji Na, who was blankly staring out the car window, belatedly noticed the vibration of the mobile phone in her pocket.
“Oh, Min Hye.”
Are you off work now?
Min Hye’s tinkling voice was full of vitality.
“Yes.”
You always work the hardest in the company.
“That’s not true. I made a mistake.”
I’m going to meet Seo Jin Woo. Do you want to come too?
“Huh?”
Ji Na stopped speaking for a moment at Min Hye’s unexpected question.
Don’t you know Seo Jin Woo? He was the top guy in high school. Handsome. He recently came to Korea and we somehow got in touch. So we’re planning to meet all together.
Of course she knew. What would Min Hye’s reaction be if she said they were now in a superiorsubordinate relationship at the same company? Ji Na was about to refuse, flipping her hair.
“No… I’ll pass.”
What are you talking about? You should come. You don’t get the chance to see such a great guy often.
Min Hye’s voice was somehow excited.
“I’m fine.”
I’ll include you in the reservation. I’ll reserve the restaurant.
“No, Min Hye. I am,”
Alright, see you then. I’ll message you when I set the time and place.
Click. The call with the relentless Min Hye was cut off. Ji Na sighed with a baffled face.
Unlike Min Hye, who was active and bright during school days, Ji Na was rather introverted. It had gotten a bit better as she grew into an adult.
Ji Na, who had envied Min Hye’s assertive character, and Min Hye, who became a friend as if bestowing grace on such a Ji Na. Many kids found it strange that the two were friends.
“Ah…, today was tiring in this and that way.”
Ji Na muttered as she trudged down a dark road after getting off the bus.
She had been busy with work since joining the company and hadn’t seen her friends, including Min Hye, much. The thought of meeting them after a long time felt burdensome. They would definitely ask about her relationship with Do Jin. What would they say if she said they had broken up? Perhaps she shouldn’t meet them.
Her mind was complicated. Amid all that, Jin Woo’s inscrutable gaze came to mind. Although she had hurt him, it wasn’t the look of someone wounded.
Rather, it was a worried look at her. Ji Na was completely unable to understand it. Why. Why.
Engrossed in her thoughts, Ji Na didn’t see the stone in front of her foot. As her ankle twisted, Ji Na’s body buckled. Her body, which should have crashed to the ground, was as if suspended in midair, leaning to one side.
“Sister.”
Was it a hallucination? Ji Na’s head slowly turned at the very tender voice. The person holding her was Seo Jin Woo.
“Why……”
You are here.
The sentence didn’t finish. As she thought about Jin Woo, it seemed like she was seeing things.
“I thought you might have been shocked at the company earlier, so I followed you.”
Jin Woo slowly helped her stand up. Then he took a step back, then another, away from her.
“I was just going to watch from afar to make sure you got home safely and then go back.”
Although he knew she might not like it, his body had moved first when he saw her falling. As always, when it came to her, his body reacted faster than his mind.

Jin Woo took another step back.
“I’m sorry.”
Once again, Jin Woo’s sincerity poured out.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t listen to you, sister.”
Jin Woo, who had moved three steps back, finally stopped. Even so, Jin Woo’s gaze could be felt. It was an endlessly warm gaze, carefully scrutinizing Ji Na with worry.
“I’ll be more careful to stay away from you, sister, so don’t be hard on yourself.”
Ah, a single tear dropped from Ji Na’s eye.
Why are you, so warm to me?
You, who are excessively generous to me, what should I do with you?
The tears sparkled as they spread.
Ji Na looked at Jin Woo without even thinking about wiping her flowing tears.
“I’m not good enough. So, go find a woman who suits you.”
Ji Na, barely revealing her sincerity, quickly wiped her tears and turned her body away.
“Who.”
At the same time, a hoarse voice came from over her shoulder.
“Is not good enough……?”
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.
