Only then did Hae Joo remember she hadn’t locked the bathroom door.
She hastily tried to get up, but the doorknob rattled.
“I’m in here!”
“Okay.”
It was Do Jun as expected.
Hae Joo got out of the bathtub wet, locked the door, and then returned to the water.
She heard him going down the stairs.
There was a bathroom on the first floor too, so it seemed like he went to take a shower.
About 10 minutes later, Hae Joo sat up. As she was slowly getting up to finish her bath, the lights flickered.
“Huh?”
Just as she was wondering, the lights went out.
Trapped in pitchblack darkness where she couldn’t even see an inch in front of her, Hae Joo’s heart almost stopped.
“…!”
This was a suburban house, and there were no streetlights in the direction where the bathroom with the bathtub was.
In a space without a single light, she lost her way while covered in bubbles.
She blindly fumbled around, but it was hard to even find the towels in the cupboard.
“I hate this…”
Hae Joo had a trauma that she hadn’t overcome yet.
When she was raised by Kyung Ae, if she cried even a little, she would often be locked in the pitchblack bathroom under the pretext of discipline. Some days she was locked up all day, and she had even fainted several times.
Until just a few days ago, she had lived alone, so she used to leave the bathroom door slightly open when she showered. Only after coming to Do Jun’s house did she have to close the door.
Locking it up was still a struggle.
But Do Jun was with her, and that tough task was all messed up.
“I’m scared……”
An indescribable fear enveloped her.
Her body trembled, and her chest tightened as if she would stop breathing at any moment.
Hae Joo, who sat huddled in the bathtub, closed her eyes tightly.
Unable to defeat the pitchblack night, she eventually screamed.
“Do Jun!”
The only thing that came to her mind at this moment was Do Jun’s name.
She heard the sound of someone running up the stairs as if to break them, in response to her instinctual cry.
“Hae Joo, I’m here.”
Fortunately, Do Jun came to the door. Hae Joo requested help with a trembling voice, even as she stroked her chest.
“Do, help me. The lights must have gone out.”
“There’s nothing to be scared of. It’s a blackout.”
Do Jun had just finished showering when the power went out.
Looking at the street lights being off as well, it didn’t seem to be a problem with the house.
“Please get me out of here.”
“Open the door. I can only enter if you do.”
She had to lock the door.
Hae Joo was frozen solid, unable to move at all.
“I can’t. I’m scared.”
“Just wait a moment.”
“Don’t leave!”
The bathtub water had also started to cool. Hae Joo’s lips, who was still trembling in a curled up position, had turned blue.
Thump. Thump.
Fortunately, Do Jun found the keys and opened the bathroom door.
Hae Joo was in such a state of panic that she couldn’t even hear that sound.
At some point, a warm towel covered her shoulders, which had surfaced above the bubbles. Hae Joo barely managed to open her eyes.
“Are you okay?”
Seeing Do Jun, tears welled up. It was embarrassing to have cried in her sleep in the morning, and then again in this state at night.
“The lights will be back on soon. I’ll leave a flashlight, so rinse and come out.”
“You can’t leave.”
“Hae Joo!”
“Don’t leave!”
“Look at me properly.”
“When I was young, my mother locked me in the bathroom. She said I should die…”
At that moment, the lights flickered and then brightened.
Hae Joo, with her moist eyes, raised her head.
What came into her dark sight was not the brightened light, but Do Jun himself.
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.
