Searching ‘Future Bank’ in the App Store currently shows a whopping seventeen applications. Services such as deposits and withdrawals, stocks, insurance, cards, loans, and real estate are all contained in different apps.
Among them, a task force was formed to integrate the seven major apps into one, colloquially known as ‘One App.’ Si Hyun was also part of this team, known as the ‘One App Team.’
The original development goal was six months, but almost five months in, the work was still at a prototype level. Rumors of extraordinary measures had been circulating for over a month, and finally, the head of the IT division, the Chief Digital Strategy Officer, was said to be coming.
“Which department are they from?”
“How old are they?”
Despite the barrage of questions, the team leader just shook his head.
“Well, I heard it’s an external recruitment, but I don’t have the exact details yet.”

After work, Si Hyun had dinner with Woo Jin at a restaurant near the company.
Woo Jin, her boyfriend two years her senior, and she had been dating for six years. They had promised to get married within the year, and active discussions were ongoing.
Their companies were within walking distance, so they often met nearby for dinner.
But lately, Woo Jin had become increasingly busy, making it hard to see him. He not only worked overtime but also came to the office on weekends, so she barely remembered their last date. Today, they were meeting after a long ten days.
Stirring her seolleongtang absentmindedly, Si Hyun asked.
“Oppa. How much do you think a private investigator costs?”
She had felt uneasy all day since she thought of Tae Ha in the morning. She was getting married soon, and Tae Ha should be there at her wedding at the very least. She even considered hiring a private investigator to find him.
“Hmm.”
Woo Jin responded nonchalantly, staring at his phone.
“I heard that catching an affair costs around three million won.”
Suddenly, Woo Jin dropped his phone with a start.
“What?”
Startled by his overreaction, Si Hyun looked at him.
“Give me a headsup when you’re going to talk about affairs. What are you talking about to someone who doesn’t even have time to eat because they’re busy?”
Confused by Woo Jin’s sudden anger, Si Hyun replied.
“When did I say you were having an affair?”
“Then what?”
“I was asking about a private investigator to find Tae Ha.”
“Oh, sorry, sorry. I must have misheard.”
Only then did Woo Jin show a relieved face and quickly changed the subject.
“Anyway, Si Hyun. Are you free next Wednesday evening?”
At Woo Jin’s question, Si Hyun had to hold back a laugh that was about to burst out. Scolded last year, but he still didn’t forget it?
The passionate love also cooled down as time went by. Suddenly, last year, Woo Jin even forgot Si Hyun’s birthday, causing a huge fuss.
She knew that everything couldn’t stay the same as at the beginning. Becoming accustomed to each other and feeling comfortable weren’t bad in their own ways, but still, forgetting each other’s birthdays was a bit too much.
Si Hyun answered with a beaming smile.
“Of course, I kept it free.”
However, at Woo Jin’s next words, her laughter abruptly stopped.
“That day is my mother’s birthday. My parents said they would like it if you could come and greet them that day.”
Now that she thought about it, she remembered hearing before that her birthday and Woo Jin’s mother’s birthday were the same. Back then, she just thought it was interesting and laughed it off, but now that it actually happened, it was surprising.
Si Hyun put down her spoon with a stern face.
“Oppa, you know it’s my birthday that day, right?”
“Of course I know. But my parents said they’d like to see you that day. It’s also a birthday, so I guess they want to treat you to some delicious food.”
She felt mixed emotions. Would this mean that her birthday would be overshadowed by her motherinlaw’s for the rest of her life?
Perhaps noticing Si Hyun’s downcast expression, Woo Jin quickly added.
“If that’s the case, I’ll suggest doing it another day. It’s also your birthday, so if you say you have plans with your friends, it should be fine.”
But she couldn’t just easily say that. It was the day she would formally greet her boyfriend’s parents for the first time, and if she refused because she had plans with friends, wouldn’t that seem disrespectful?
“Just set it up for that day. It would be best to follow the adults’ words anyway.”
“Will you?”
Woo Jin finally seemed to relax and laughed awkwardly, but Si Hyun could not follow suit and laugh.
At the beginning of their relationship, Woo Jin used to follow her around as if he couldn’t live without her. There was no way he was lacking in terms of university, job, salary, and he was even two years younger than Si Hyun. As each year passed and she grew older, she somehow felt like she was becoming weaker.
Only after the start of the year, when wedding discussions began in earnest, did her feelings increase. She always felt like she was being pulled into her partner’s pace.
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.
