“Sister, try this. My friend gave it to me and it’s really tasty.”
“Oh? I saw this on the internet too. They say it’s so popular that it’s hard to get. You have a good friend to give you such a gift.”
Why were they laughing so happily?
Ha Joon’s eyes crinkled as he watched Su Ah and Ho Young.
“Can I have just one?”
“Of course. Naturally. I brought it for you, holding back my own desire to eat more.”
“Oh, really? Thank you.”
As Su Ah said this and reached out to grab a piece of chocolate.
Thud!
Her wrist was caught. She hadn’t even touched the chocolate yet.
Both Ho Young’s and Su Ah’s gazes turned towards Ha Joon at the sudden intrusion.
“Isn’t it time for you to get off work, Miss Su Ah?”
“Oh, I was just about to eat this chocolate…”
“I believe a sharp cutoff time was part of your working conditions. It’s already been two minutes.”
She fluttered her fingers, trying to grab the chocolate. This man, it seemed he had no intention of letting go of her wrist.
What? Why is he doing… Wait. Don’t tell me.
Don’t tell me, is this man jealous right now?
“No, this chocolate is super popular, and if I don’t eat it now, I might not get another chance.”
Again, she struggled.
Her fingers squirmed, held firm by his grip. Her lips began to curl up in amusement.
“I, I’ll buy it for you. I’ll buy you a new one, not one that someone else has eaten, so please prepare to leave quickly.”
“Oh? A new one? Really? You promised. A new one.”
“Understood. A new. one.”
“Yay! Score! I’ll get ready to leave.”
The moment Ha Joon let go of her wrist, Su Ah headed towards the storeroom with a light step.
As soon as Su Ah was out of sight, Ho Young turned to face Ha Joon.
“Hey! Who are you to interfere with Su Ah and me?”
“Me?”
“Yes! You!”
Ha Joon leaned towards Ho Young. As he brushed past Ho Young’s face and reached his ear, the corner of Ha Joon’s lips lifted.
“I. I’m the one who shared a blanket with Miss Su Ah.”
“What, what did you say?”
Ho Young’s eyes widened.
“Say it again? You shared a blanket? So, don’t bring such things to Su Ah again. Got it?”
His cool, sinking voice pierced straight through the eardrum.
“Ah, no, uh…”
Whether it was due to the shock, Ho Young couldn’t spit out a proper word.
“Mr. Ha Joon, it’s time to leave work now.”
Just then, Su Ah, who had finished preparing to leave, approached Ha Joon.
“Yes, let’s go.”
Ha Joon’s fierce gaze at Ho Young softened in an instant.
“Ho Young, sister is leaving. Eat a lot of chocolate.”
“Uh, ookay.”
“Goodbye. See you tomorrow.”
Leaving a dumbfounded Ho Young behind, Su Ah and Ha Joon left the convenience store.
“Thank you for giving me a ride.”
Seeing her apartment building outside the window, Su Ah unbuckled her seatbelt and said her goodbye.
“Be careful going in.”
As Su Ah reached for the handle to open the door.
“Miss Su Ah.”
Ha Joon’s voice stopped her.
“I sometimes want to contact you, Miss Su Ah, is that okay?”
Ha Joon asked cautiously, wondering if Su Ah might find him bothersome.
At Ha Joon’s question filled with hesitation, Su Ah offered her hand with a small smile.
“Give me your phone.”
Caught off guard, Ha Joon handed over his phone, and Su Ah typed in her number before hitting the call button.
“Can I also contact you, Mr. Ha Joon?”
“You’re always welcome.”
“Is it still welcome even if it’s frequent, not occasional?”
“That’s even more welcome.”
At Ha Joon’s words, Su Ah let out a small laugh, and at that single laughter, Ha Joon’s heart began to react loudly.
“I’ll go in now. Drive safely.”
“Yes, go ahead.”
Su Ah, shaking her phone as if to say ‘contact me,’ disappeared into her apartment building, and only then could Ha Joon breathe freely.
Ah, was his heart still in place?
Hadn’t it jumped out of its spot from beating too hard?
Smiling at his silly thought, he started the car.
“Are you back?”
Seeing Ha Joon’s number on the screen, Su Ah cheerfully entered her home where Da Eun, who had been sitting on the sofa, greeted her.
“Yes. When did you get here?”
“A little while ago. I have something to tell you.”
“Something to tell me? What is it?”
At Su Ah’s question, Da Eun ran towards her with a meaningful smile.
“You should thank me a lot later.”
“What? Why, what happened?”
Su Ah put down her bag with a sullen expression.
“Didn’t you see the Hyunseong Group’s announcement?”
“The Hyunseong Group’s announcement? Why?”
“There’s a marketing contest in the announcement.”
“A marketing contest?”
Su Ah widened her eyes and hurriedly checked the laptop on her desk.
“The application period is until next week, so it’s a bit tight. But if you get selected here, you can directly join the Hyunseong Group’s marketing team.”
“Directly join?”
“Moreover, this time it’s a blind contest, so it’s the perfect opportunity for you. They judge based only on the entries.”
“A blind contest….”
“I’ll help you out. Let’s start from tomorrow.”
Unlike Da Eun, who was burning with passion, Su Ah’s expression hardened.
‘What if I get rejected?’ The thought dominated her mind.
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.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
