Woojin’s fingertips trembled as he talked with Sooyoung on the phone.
I’m sorry.
Her voice through the phone also felt delicately shaky. Woojin silently listened to her voice without saying anything.
I will continue recording audiobooks. I can come to Woojin’s place after visiting the publishing house, but…
“…….”
I won’t go until my mom feels better. During that time, Woojin, make sure you eat well. Okay?
“…….”
As Woojin continued to remain silent, Sooyoung quietly listened to his breathing.
How long has it been…
Sooyoung asked quietly, “Instead of me going, shall we have phone conversations like this? When there’s nothing to talk about, I can read you a book… How about that?”
Still, no words.
“Shall I read ‘‘? You said the braille book isn’t fully completed yet, right? Have you finished reading the front part? Shall I read the rest for you?”
…Sure…
After a long while, when his voice finally came through, Sooyoung felt something warm surging up.
Somehow, her feelings toward him became more intense than when they used to meet freely.
It was almost like Romeo and Juliet in their situation.
“Min-eon handed a envelope and a picture to Ji-won and quietly followed behind Hyeon-woo. Ji-won, looking at the backs of the two with anxious eyes, turned his gaze back to the photo. The baby sitting on the woman’s lap, who looked like a mother, seemed to be barely one or two years old now. Looking at the baby’s dazzlingly white face and big eyes, Ji-won’s eyes widened as well…”
Sooyoung read each character with more dedication than ever before, hoping that this recitation would be a comfort to him.
Usually, she fell asleep while listening to Sooyoung’s recitation. But today, sleep did not come.
She concentrated again and again to hear her voice.
Reading the book and gradually getting tired, Woojin didn’t know about it.
He realized it when he heard the alarm sound to wake up. If she’s going to the publishing house later, she should get some sleep…
“…Stop reading and sleep.”
Putting aside her regretful feelings, Woojin said, and Sooyoung quietly responded.
Woojin, you should sleep too. Why aren’t you sleeping even after I read to you…
“…I’ll sleep well.”
Shall we leave our phones on? Listening to each other’s breathing?
“…The battery will run out.”
So what? You can charge it. Lie down on your bed. I’m already lying down.
Upon her words, Woojin slowly got up from his seat and headed for the bed.
“I’m lying down.”
Did you plug in your earphones?
“Yeah.”
Then close your eyes now.
“…Yeah.”
Sleep well.
“…You too.”
The two shared the same time while being in different spaces, listening to the gentle breathing through their earphones.
The calm breathing coming through the earphones made it feel as if they were next to each other.
If only they could hold hands, it would be perfect… Sooyoung wiped away the tears that kept welling up in her eyes with the back of her hand and continued to sleep.
“Aren’t you coming? Why?”
At his grandson’s surprising words, the chairman lifted his head from the stack of documents.
“Sooyoung’s mother seems to oppose her working with Woojin.”
“So?”
“So, she only commutes to the publishing house and doesn’t go to Woojin’s house.”
A heavy sigh, almost like a groan, escaped from Chairman Seol’s mouth.
It was somewhat expected, but it happened faster than anticipated.
He didn’t want to resort to drastic measures…
“They offered a salary increase.”
Jihyun responded with a smile to his grandfather’s practical remark.
“It’s not about the money; it seems like Sooyoung’s mother opposes her relationship with Woojin.”
“…How about Woojin?”
“He’s okay, somewhat.”
“Is he eating? Skipped meals again?”
“I eat dinner with him.”
“Is he sleeping?”
“Sooyoung reads books to me, so I think he gets some sleep.”
“The phone is quite resourceful.”
Chairman Seol lowered his gaze back to the documents. However, his mind was complex despite just lowering his gaze.
It was a daunting task to put the child, who seemed to be improving somewhat, back into the cave. So he unjustly blamed Sooyoung.
“No, how old is that kid? Why isn’t he coming because his mom told him not to? Did he have feelings for Woojin?”
“Just, because Mom is alone, I think she’s waiting until she feels better.”
At Jihyun’s words, Seol Majung clasped his hands and buried himself deep into the high-backed chair, his thoughts deepening.
If Woojin knew that the man he considered his husband was involved in the accident…
But coercing him in that way was not feasible.
And even if they did that, what would happen to his grandson’s dignity, leaving a woman by his side like a hostage…
Keeping a woman by his side like that is a thug’s behavior…
In front of Seol Majung, who was pondering various issues, Seol Jihyun was also lost in thought.
As Woojin, who barely managed one meal a day, was getting bigger and bigger, the manuscript that Jun provided as a rough draft was extremely crude.
Even if she was his sister, she couldn’t publish such a book.
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.]
