“You both did well in the shoot, Se Kyung, Yoo Na.”
“Thank you for your hard work, PD.”
After finishing her interview, Yoo Na walked over to the table where Se Kyung was sitting. Yoo Na’s eyes were red like a rabbit’s from alternating between tears and laughter during the interview.
“Why did you cry so much during the interview, Yoo Na?”
“Really, I just started thinking about the past.”
Yoo Na sniffled, feeling embarrassed. The interview naturally included a lot of their past, discussing their challenging trainee days, the uncertain early twenties, and the despair they felt when they debuted but lagged far behind other groups.
Yoo Na recalled feeling abandoned in darkness when all her efforts seemed to lead to failure, and her peers were starting their careers while she had already tasted failure.
During this desperate time, she met her current husband and received a call from Se Kyung in Jeju Island, giving her hope for the future again.
Particularly, she received a lot of help from Se Kyung’s mother, Jung Ran.
Jung Ran suggested Yoo Na try working in her cafe when she was lost about her future.
For Yoo Na, who desperately needed money, Jung Ran’s offer was a lifeline.
Yoo Na stayed in Jeju Island for about three months with Se Kyung, calmly planning her future.
When Yoo Na left Jeju Island, Jung Ran gave her a significant amount of money as her part-time wage, telling her to come to her cafe whenever she felt troubled.
“So that’s why the two of you are especially close. Both Se Kyung and her mother are like saviors to you.”
“Exactly. So, PD, you have to broadcast everything I said today, okay?”
“Of course. Don’t worry. We’ll edit it properly for promotion, even though our show will air after Se Kyung’s drama’s first episode.”
“I’d be grateful for that.”
“Then, we’ll finish packing up the shooting equipment. You two continue talking.”
PD Lim disappeared among the staff busy with the equipment. Left alone, Yoo Na bit into an apple and said,
“By the way, did you hear from Ju Hee after my interview article was published?”
“Really? What did she say? I hope it wasn’t anything unpleasant…”
“Of course, it wasn’t pleasant. She berated me, ‘How could you do this to me? Your interview has put me in a very difficult position.’ Just complaining and whining.”
Yoo Na grimaced, imitating Ju Hee’s discontent.
“So I told her the same thing. How could she do that to Se Kyung? It’s just not right. She even messed up her solo album release. Complaining about her individual activities and all that. Where did the investment for that come from? It was money you earned through your hard work and acting.”
As she spoke, Yoo Na seemed to get heated again, and she bit into her apple with a crunch.
“I’m grateful that you’re on my side, but I’m also worried. I don’t want you to get into trouble because of me.”
“What trouble could I possibly get into? And if there is any problem because of this, Director Song, or whatever his name is, told me to contact him. He said he’d help.”
“It’s good if there’s been no trouble so far. If anything comes up, let me know. I’ll jump in to help too.”
“Worrywart. Oh, speaking of your agency, it reminds me. Do you think Director Song knows?”
“Knows what?”
Se Kyung looked puzzled, and Yoo Na gave a mischievous look.
“About that employee you had a crush on?”
“…….”
“Ahh, I should’ve asked that day. The situation was too serious to bring it up.”
Yoo Na fidgeted, pulling out her phone.
“Would it be rude to text him now and ask?”
“Yes. Don’t. Director Song has been really busy lately.”
Se Kyung quickly answered and snatched Yoo Na’s phone, placing it face down on the table.
In the dimly lit ultrasound room,
After leaving Yoo Na’s house, Se Kyung, who had headed straight to Dr. Shim’s clinic, was intently watching the image of her baby, Angko, on the monitor.
She was particularly concerned about Angko’s condition this time, recalling how her stomach had particularly hurt during the Lim Ju Hee incident.
“Compared to your worries, everything seems fine. See how well Angko is growing? And listen to this strong heartbeat.”
Dr. Shim reassured her, playing the sound of Angko’s heartbeat. Se Kyung had been worried due to unusual pain, but hearing there were no major issues was relieving.
“Even though they’re so tiny, they’re sensitive. See how well they pick up on the mother’s stress? Angko is sending you a signal to relax.”
After the examination, Dr. Shim wiped the gel off Se Kyung’s belly. Se Kyung sat up and pulled down her shirt.
“Oh, that’s a new ring, isn’t it?”
Exiting the ultrasound room and entering the consultation room, Dr. Shim noticed the ring on Se Kyung’s hand.
“What’s this? Is it a sponsorship? Or…”
As Dr. Shim trailed off, Se Kyung looked at her hand and smiled.
“Is it a wedding ring?”
“Not a wedding ring, but a gift.”
“A gift? From whom? Angko’s father?”
“Yes.”
“Oh, a ring as a gift, how thoughtful. But it seems like it’s not the right time. Shouldn’t he be giving you an engagement ring and proposing right away? Is Angko’s father the laid-back type?”
Was the CEO laid-back? Considering he suggested marriage as soon as he found out about the baby, probably not.
“What brand is it?”
“I’m not sure. It’s… Angko’s father bought it.”
She almost said ‘the CEO’. Se Kyung checked Dr. Shim’s reaction, but she seemed too focused on the ring to notice anything amiss.
“Can I take a look at it?”
Nodding, Se Kyung took off the ring and handed it to her. Dr. Shim turned the ring over, noticing the brand shop’s initials inside, and her eyes widened in surprise.
“Huh? Rozel? Is this from that jewelry shop in Cheongdam-dong?”
“Yes?”
…Where is that?
Se Kyung looked baffled at Dr. Shim’s reaction.
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.
