It was miserable.
Choi In-ho had inserted even the interview that served as evidence into the article.
At this rate, he seemed capable of creating nonexistent videos.
“I’m scared.”
It was tragic.
Everything she had fought hard for seemed to be in vain overnight.
The sleepless night grew deeper.
The desire to go anywhere because of the stifling feeling in her chest rose to her throat.
The night, where nothing could be seen a step ahead, was no different from hell.
“I… want to run away.”
She had lost the strength to fight.
Choi In-ho would rush in as if to kill, and the thought of her loved ones suffering because of her was agonizing.
“That can’t happen. I hate it anymore.”
The body without a soul gradually lost its light.
Hae-joo, who had become numb, changed her clothes and started down the stairs.
Do-jun woke up at the sound of her footsteps.
Momentarily dazed, he quickly got up when he saw the bedroom door open.
“Hae-joo?”
He rushed out of the room and down the stairs.
In the darkened living room, he found Hae-joo standing at the end.
With limp arms, a lifeless face, and a car key in her hand.
A foreboding feeling crept over him.
Dazed, Do-jun grabbed Hae-joo’s hand and pulled with all his might.
“What suddenly happened? Why is your face like this?”
Hae-joo’s pupils had no focus.
Bathed in an ash-gray color, she seemed fragile, as if she could collapse at any moment.
Anxious, Do-jun wrapped his arms around Hae-joo’s waist with all his strength.
To ensure she couldn’t escape.
“Let go of this. I have to leave.”
“Where at this hour?”
“If I’m with you, it will be tough for Mr. Do-jun too.”
“Hae-joo, snap out of it!”
“I… I can’t do it anymore. It’s too hard.”
“It’s okay, tell me. What’s wrong?”
Unexplainable emotions overwhelmed Do-jun.
Hae-joo, who had become like a lost child in a thorn field, tried to let go of everything.
Do-jun searched through Hae-joo’s coat pocket.
In the process, he alternated between looking at the phone and her.
“Who contacted you?”
When he turned on the screen, a long message filled with text caught his eye.
Do-jun gritted his teeth and quickly read the lengthy message sent as a text.
It was indeed Choi In-ho.
The audacious message appalled Do-jun.
“Mr. Do-jun, it’s not me.”
“What?”
“I didn’t do such a thing. Never!”
“Hae-joo.”
“But it’s so embarrassing. If everyone thinks of me like this… I feel like I’m going crazy.”
“I won’t let it happen like this. Promise.”
“I’m so scared. I want to hide anywhere.”
Humans were wicked.
If the worst-case scenario he had feared was Yoo Chairman’s choice, Do-jun was determined not to stand idly by.
Whether you die or I die…
“If you can’t stand it, let’s go.”
“Do-jun.”
“But you can’t do it alone. Even if you run away, go with me.”
Do-jun’s throat tightened.
For some reason, the moment he lost Joon came to mind, and his chest tightened.
He had promised to protect Hae-joo. The vow never to let her go was as valuable as his life.
“Even if I let go of everything I have, it doesn’t matter.”
“Don’t say that.”
“When you get better, you can come back. It’s not too late.”
“Do-jun!”
There was still a chance.
At least for Do-jun.
Choi In-ho would undoubtedly be caught, and the Chairman Yoo’s heart would be pierced.
Before that, Hae-joo had to find stability.
If just being in this house was tormenting her, she should leave.
“Let’s go right now.”
Hastily grabbing his coat, Do-jun took Hae-joo to the car.
Then, he aimlessly drove along the nighttime road.
“Shall we go see the sea?”
In response to Do-jun’s question, Hae-joo weakly nodded.
It was almost time for the dawn to break, so he hurriedly increased the speed.
If possible, he wanted a place where he could step on the sand.
He hoped for a location where the crazy emotions could be washed away by the gentle waves.
The car headed toward the West Sea. At the end of the vigorous drive, the two faced the dawn-descending sea.
On the deserted white sandy beach of the beach after the summer, not a single footprint remained.
Soon, the sound of gentle waves reached their ears.
When they rolled down the car window, the refreshing scent of the sea seeped in.
“Everything is blue.”
The lightly foggy sea spread out before them.
The waves that had swallowed the dynamism of midday calmly sprayed the sand, as if asking when it had happened.
As Hae-joo said, even the humid air turned blue.
The sand, trodden with each step, seemed to try to cover the two in the meantime.
“Shall we take a walk?”
Like teaching a child to walk, Do-jun held hands with Hae-joo.
Walking backward, he remained steady.
He carefully took one step after another, solely to ensure Hae-joo safely reached the sea.
“I’m too cowardly, right?”
“Not at all.”
“I can’t see the way at all…”
“What does that matter? I’m here.”
Meanwhile, the waves playfully wrapped around the ankles of the two and then retreated.
The soaked feet were gradually covered by the sand.
“Like the fog that momentarily covers the sea in front of us.”
Do-jun’s comfort settled in Hae-joo’s heart.
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.
