“Why do you think? Because this came out of your bag, Se Kyung.”
“That’s not mine. My name is not written on it. I don’t know why you are so sure it’s mine.”
“Today, at 11:38 a.m., you bumped into Manager Song in front of the elevator, didn’t you? That’s when your bag fell and everything inside spilled out.”
Se Kyung’s face, which had been avoiding the issue, froze solid.
Indeed, she had dropped her bag when she collided with Manager Song, who was in a hurry.
In her rush to pick up the fallen items… she had missed that of all things.
“Manager Song said this came out of your bag.”
“……”
“But if the owner denies something that came out of their bag, then whose could this be?”
Though he was asking, it seemed like Tae Jo was already convinced that Se Kyung was the owner of the item.
She bit her lip in a dilemma.
She had to come up with an excuse, but her mind, gone blank, couldn’t think of a plausible explanation.
“Or should we confirm it at the hospital first? Whether or not Se Kyung is pregnant.”
“No!”
The word ‘hospital’ startled Se Kyung, making her shout. In addition to her racing heart, cold sweat trickled down her back.
What should she do…
Se Kyung looked at Tae Jo with anxious eyes.
In a few months, the pregnancy couldn’t have been hidden anyway.
It might have been better to reveal her pregnancy now and hide the identity of the child’s father.
After all, the pregnancy test wouldn’t disclose the father’s identity.
“That’s right, it’s mine.”
“Who is the other party? Manager Shin said you don’t see anyone. Were you dating someone secretly?”
“No.”
“Then, who is the child’s father?”
Se Kyung just chewed on her innocent lips.
She couldn’t say that the father of the child was him, right in front of her.
That night was an impulsive one for Se Kyung, a night Tae Jo didn’t even remember.
He was already a man who hated being tied to personal relationships with actresses from his company. If she told him about that night, he might not see her again.
“I can’t tell you that.”
A crawling voice came out of Se Kyung’s mouth as she bowed her head.
Tae Jo put down the pregnancy test and stood up from his slanted position.
As he approached her, Se Kyung stepped back hesitantly.
“Mr., Mr. Chairman?”
Thud. Her body, blocked by the sofa, had nowhere to go and stopped.
As Tae Jo leaned over, a deep shadow fell over Se Kyung’s face.
Like the gloomy future looming over me.
“Se Kyung, there’s been a person I’ve been looking for for a few weeks.”
“…….”
“I was slightly confused whether it was a dream or reality. I drank a lot that night, and the film was cut off in the middle.”
Oh, no……
As Tae Jo continued to speak, Se Kyung’s face turned pale.
He didn’t directly say it, but he was mentioning that night.
A night that was impulsive for Se Kyung, and one that Tae Jo didn’t remember……
No, a night that he should not remember.
“I thought it was a dream, so I kept ignoring it, but snippets of scenes started to come to me a while ago. When I put those pieces together, a picture is drawn.”
Se Kyung felt dizzy in an instant. As she wobbled from the sensation of the ground sinking, Tae Jo supported her waist.
“That day, I was wondering where the cheeky cat who caught and ran away was.”
Strength flowed into his hand that was wrapped around her waist.
The moment his leg pushed between Se Kyung’s.
“Here you are.”
He whispered hotly as he placed his lips near Se Kyung’s ear.
One month ago, at the S Hotel.
It was well past midnight.
Stepping outside to perhaps visit the convenience store due to hunger, Se Kyung was taken aback at the person she met in front of the elevator.
“Huh? Se Kyung.”
“Senior…”
Se Kyung, who trailed off at the end, took a quick glance next to Seok Joo. An unexpected person was with him.
The person who was drunk and leaning on Seok Joo for support was her agency’s chairman, Jin Tae Jo.
“Why are you here…… Ah, no, help me before that. I think I need to put this guy to bed first. Press the 17th floor for me.”
Seok Joo, who was about to step out, pushed Se Kyung back into the elevator and got in.
Flustered, Se Kyung pressed the button for the 17th floor and stood on the opposite side of Seok Joo, supporting Tae Jo.
“Why did the chairman drink so much?”
“Ah, the head of an OTT platform from the U.S. came today. We had dinner and drinks with the Korean branch manager…… Wow, their drinking capacity is no joke either. I wonder how many bottles of whiskey we opened. I’ve known this guy for a while, but I’ve never seen him this drunk before.”
Seok Joo, who had participated in that incredible drinking session, shook his head with a disgusted expression.
Ding, the elevator, which had arrived at the 17th floor before anyone realized, chimed clearly.
Seok Joo, who stepped out of the elevator, supported Tae Jo and found the reserved room.
As he moved his hand to pull out the card key, Tae Jo, who was hung over his shoulder, slid down.
Argh, Seok Joo, who let out a short scream, held onto Tae Jo’s body and said to Se Kyung.
“Se Kyung, get the card key in my pocket.”
Se Kyung took the card key from Seok Joo’s pocket and opened the door.
In the process of inserting the key into the slot, Seok Joo dragged Tae Jo and roughly placed him onto the bed.
“Phew, I’m dead.”
Despite it not being midsummer, sweat trickled down his face.
As Seok Joo tried to cool himself down by fanning his hand, Se Kyung fetched a bottle of water from the fridge and handed it to him.
“Thanks. But why are you here?”
“I’m currently staying at the hotel.”
“At the hotel? What about your home?”
“My lease expired and the house I purchased is currently being remodeled. I had a month in limbo.”
“Ah, so you’re living in a hotel for a month?”
“Yes, it just turned out that way.”
“Isn’t it inconvenient? Go to your parents’ or a friend’s house.”
“My mother is in Jeju Island, and my lifestyle is irregular, so I didn’t want to inconvenience my friends.”
“But isn’t home better than a hotel? How do you manage food and clothes?”
“I usually eat outside and come in, and there’s a laundry service for clothes. I buy and supplement the necessary items as needed.”
“Well, if you say so.”
Seok Joo shrugged his shoulders as he drank the water.
“More importantly, I’m sorry for the late hour. It seemed like you were going somewhere and I held you back. Go ahead. Leave this to me.”
“Are you sure the chairman is okay? I think I should buy some hangover relief drink.”
“What’s the use of buying it? He can’t even eat in this state.”
Telling her not to worry about it, Seok Joo waved her away.
Se Kyung looked at Tae Jo collapsed on the bed, then reluctantly turned around.
“Then, I’ll be going.”
“Right. Go ahead.”
Seok Joo, with his hand on his waist, was contemplating how to handle the situation when his phone rang loudly.
“Hello? Yes. I just finished a drinking session…… What? Really? Ah, wait a bit. I’ll be right there.”
Seok Joo, who hastily ended the call, turned his head.
“……?”
Then, he met eyes with Se Kyung, who was about to leave.
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.
