As she was about to leave the lobby, the elevator door next to the emergency exit opened.
The people who came out were a woman in her late forties and a female student in a school uniform.
To exit the building, she had to pass in front of the elevator.
As the female student couldn’t take her eyes off Su Hee, Su Hee pulled her mask up a bit more towards her eyes.
Ignoring the attention and trying to pass the female student, the student tilted her head to see under Su Hee’s hat.
“Are you the actress Oh Su Hee?”
The student had recognized Su Hee, even though she was wearing a mask and a hat.
Su Hee averted her eyes and turned her head towards the opposite wall.
“No, I am not.”
“Huh? Your voice sounds just like Su Hee.”
I’ve never had a younger sister like you.
If she was a fan, she should have just passed by quietly.
However, the student pleaded as if she was going to kneel, bringing her hands together.
“Sister, could you please give me just one autograph?”
The student she briefly made eye contact with didn’t feel unfamiliar.
If it felt this familiar, there was a high chance that she had attended fan signing events multiple times.
“I told you, I’m not Oh Su Hee.”
The woman who had been silently watching from the side scolded her daughter.
“That’s right, she’s not Oh Su Hee.”
“Yes, it’s you sister. This outfit is your casual fashion.”
Flushed.
What I thought was a wild guess, turned out to be a reasoned certainty.
“Sister, I’m taking the SAT this year. Could you please give me an autograph as a sign of encouragement?”
Usually, she would have fulfilled this earnest request from the student.
However, she didn’t know when and where people might appear, so she had to avoid the place quickly.
“I’m sorry.”
Seeing people coming into the building, Su Hee quickly exited.
As she was about to leave the building, the student chased after her from behind.
“Su Hee sister!”
Fearing that people might look, Su Hee quickly turned her head back.
The student’s mother was holding the student’s arm, preventing her from chasing Su Hee.
Seeing her name, the student looked back at Su Hee and started to jump up and down.
“See? She looked back when I called her Su Hee sister.”
Why is she so sharp?
Su Hee quickly turned her head back to its place and walked briskly outside.
She had to stop by the pharmacy in the building next door, but for now, she had to avoid the student.
The student forcefully broke free from her mother’s grip and chased after Su Hee.
Su Hee’s heart began to thump wildly as if it was going to explode.
Cold sweat trickled down her back.
The sound of footsteps from behind was getting louder.
“Su Hee, sis! Just an autograph, please!”
Unexpectedly, the female student called out Su Hee again, paying no mind to their surroundings.
The gaze of the people walking on the sidewalk gathered one by one, and she was on the verge of being caught by the rushing female student.
Then, someone blocked the way of Su Hee who was hurriedly trying to escape.
Su Hee stopped in her tracks upon seeing the man standing in front of her.
Her eyes wide open, Su Hee uttered the man’s name.
“Han… Seung Jo.”
Despite trying to hide, Seung Jo was reflected in Su Hee’s eyes that could not be concealed by her hat.
No matter how much she covered her face, Seung Jo seemed to recognize Su Hee.
It could be seen in the steady gaze Seung Jo had fixed on Su Hee.
Su Hee dodged, praying that he would not call her name.
If he appeared here by chance, she hoped he would pass by her quietly.
However, her hopes were not met, as Seung Jo slowly approached Su Hee.
“Sis!”
The female student who had followed somehow stretched out her hand towards Su Hee.
“Su Jin.”
Seung Jo, standing next to her, called her by a different name, not hers.
“Have you been waiting long?”
When did we make such a promise?
Su Hee cast her eyes down to her left shoulder.
Seung Jo’s hand was on her shoulder.
Her gaze brushed his hand and moved to Seung Jo’s face.
At that moment, he pointed at the hesitant female student with his eyes, taking a step back.
“I’ll help you, so cooperate.”
Does he know the situation I’m in now?
As Su Hee nodded her head, Seung Jo moved ahead, leaving the female student behind.
Walking in sync, Su Hee was aware of his hot hand wrapped around her shoulder.
She could also feel her body colliding with his every time she walked because he was pulling her.
Despite her doubts, the female student tried to follow Su Hee and Seung Jo.
Just then, Seung Jo turned his head slightly and took Su Hee into an alleyway.
“Young Ji! The bus is coming, come here quickly!”
The female student stopped in her tracks at the sound of her mother calling her from the bus stop.
She had no choice but to turn around and walk towards her mother.
The persistent female student had disappeared, but Su Hee was still unable to move.
Because of Seung Jo, who was standing close in front of her with his arm propped against the wall.
Between tall buildings.
The sun was up above their heads, but the shadows of the buildings cast a darkness around them.
The space between them was filled with silence, so quiet that they could hear each other’s breathing.
It seemed as if Su Hee and Seung Jo had locked eyes for a long time.
Both remained silent, yet there seemed to be a conversation going on through their eyes.
‘Why are you helping me when you could just pass by? In Paris and here.’
‘Where is your child’s father? Why are you alone?’
1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes. They kept staring at each other as time passed.
Su Hee, who had pulled down her mask, was the first to break the silence.
“Why did you help me?”
Han Seung Jo always appeared like a prince on a white horse in troublesome situations.
She was surprised to see a man like a unicorn, who should only exist in fairy tales, right in front of her.
It wouldn’t have been a big deal if he had just passed by.
He didn’t have any obligation to help.
“Why did you get involved? We don’t have any relationship. You could’ve just passed by.”
But why does he keep appearing in front of me to save me?
In my life where there’s no one to rely on, he consistently offered his side to me.
“Why…… why did you do that?”
“I told you.”
“……”
“I will take responsibility for Miss Oh Su Hee.”
His words, spoken as if it was a given, flew into Su Hee’s heart with the breeze.
Ah, the breeze.
A breeze similar to spring had blown the day she first met Seung Jo.
The wall that was built high collapsed and fell down with that breeze.
“Stop saying you’ll take responsibility.”
There seemed to be a problem with those words.
If not, she couldn’t find an answer.
“Why? Do you get nervous just because I said something like that?”
In contrast to Seung Jo who was lightly laughing, Su Hee became more serious.
“Yes.”
“……”
“Because I get nervous, stop it.”
Which woman wouldn’t be happy to see a prince on a white horse?
Just like how Su Hee’s heart was beating now.
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.
