It was quite regrettable that he couldn’t tell Soonsuk about this fact.
Although he had told Soonsuk that he hadn’t received any money from Jitaekwang, considering that Soonsuk could find out on the day he was supposed to leave for the Philippines, strict surveillance was necessary.
[The kid was so distressed that the case was quickly resolved. Look how quickly Jitaekwang confessed. Luckily, nothing more was uncovered thanks to that!]In fact, because of that incident, Soonsuk had been tormented a lot by the police. Even after the case was closed, a search warrant was issued for Soonsuk’s company, and all matters related to it were settled as Kwon Seung-cheol’s misconduct.
We need to clarify our relationship. We’re holding each other’s bomb, so to speak, and therefore, we can’t take each other lightly.
“Hyung, the dead don’t speak. Jitaekwang won’t come out of his grave to talk, so what does it matter? It’s something only we know.”
[Anyway, don’t cause a big fuss, and I’ll book your flight ticket right away. Come in immediately. I can’t wait any longer.]Come to think of it, there was one unchanging fact.
Yoon Sun-woo loves Ji Eun-jae very much.
When he told the story of causing a commotion by visiting Ji Eun-jae’s company, Kwon Seung-cheol’s subtly distorted eyebrows, not hidden at all, gradually brought a smile to his lips.
“Yeah. I got it.”
I should probably change the target.
It was an ordinary everyday life.
If there was anything different, it was that Eun-jae’s schedule had ‘work’ added to it, in addition to heading to his mother’s hospital after finishing academy classes.
After finishing classes for three hours a day, Eun-jae started working in a studio a bit away from the academy building.
The studio was a place where food stylists set up and shot food for broadcast programs, movies, magazines, advertisements, etc. In that place, Eun-jae’s role was to assist the food stylist.
Perhaps because he was tense, trying to grasp and adapt to the new job, he was completely exhausted both physically and mentally by the time he returned home after just three hours of work.
Arriving at his parents’ house like a slackened chopstick, Eun-jae threw his handbag onto the sofa as soon as he entered the living room on the third floor.
Sun-woo, who happened to be standing on the opposite side of the sofa, watching papers, took off his glasses when he saw that and asked, “Is it supposed to end at this time?”
Then, looking at the wall clock past 7 o’clock, he asked again, “Shouldn’t you be home around 8 o’clock?”
“Ah… The shoot ended a bit early today.”
Eun-jae, looking at the wall clock, answered and closed his eyes as if exhausted.
“Then you should have called. I was going to pick you up.”
“Why bother.”
“Call, it would make me feel more at ease.”
“I’m not your child…”
“In my eyes, you are.”
At Sun-woo’s serious words, Eun-jae, who was about to burst into laughter, spoke with a voice tinged with laughter. His eyes were still closed.
“Why are you so busy, doing my job too?”
“If it’s Ji Eun-jae’s job, I’m honored.”
I can’t live like this. Eun-jae chuckled and, as if massaging his tired eyes, pressed his fingers near his eyebrows.
Approaching Eun-jae, who was lying on the sofa, Sun-woo lowered the raised skirt hem and frowned at the sight.
“Is there anyone who would look good in the studio? The skirt is a bit short.”
“Who likes married women.”
Sun-woo, who was looking down at Eun-jae lying like a newborn, brought over a blanket hanging on the end of the sofa and covered Eun-jae’s body with it.
“See, isn’t it difficult to work while studying?”
“It’s tough, but it’s fun. Actually, I made quite a few mistakes today. So I got scolded a bit…”
“There’s no one who’s good from the start. It’s good to scold when taking you because I like you.”
Suddenly sitting up, Eun-jae looked at Sun-woo with a worried expression.
“I won’t get fired like this, right?”
“How about getting fired? I’ll support you for a lifetime. Have you been scolded a lot? Anything like workplace harassment?”
“There’s nothing like that.”
Sun-woo took a seat next to Eun-jae. Gathering Eun-jae’s long hair with one hand, Sun-woo spoke.
“There’s a shop on the 1st floor of the officetel building with a contract expiring soon. How about opening your studio there?”
“I’m still in the learning stage. And my skills aren’t at that level yet—”
“You’ll improve as you do it.”
When all of Eun-jae’s hair was gathered in Sun-woo’s large hand, Sun-woo’s lips, which were slightly tilted, touched Eun-jae’s lips and then separated.
With apologetic eyes and trembling fingers, Sun-woo’s thumb carefully roamed around Eun-jae’s neck, where a band was attached.
“The ointment.”
“I applied it in the morning.”
“Wash it off and come out. I’ll apply it again.”
When Eun-jae’s lips, which had quickly separated, seemed disappointed, Eun-jae’s two hands gently enveloped Sun-woo’s cheeks, and Sun-woo’s head tilted again.
It was a quick and penetrating breath, but it was gentle and cautious movements. Perhaps because of that incident a few days ago, Eun-jae laughed even more at his careful movements.
After slowly pulling away his lips, Eun-jae wiped Sun-woo’s cheeks. Seeing that his skin, which was like a peeled egg, had become wrinkled, it seemed that something was bothering him.
He might find it annoying if I keep asking about this.
“Your complexion doesn’t look good. Are you tired these days? Or maybe, are you having that nightmare again?”
“No, since you held my hand…”
Looking at Sun-woo, who momentarily stopped talking, Eun-jae tilted his head with a playful expression.
“…since then, I haven’t had that dream once.”
“Huh? This.”
Eun-jae pulled out the long necklace hidden under Sun-woo’s clothes. It was because of the pendant that was visible when he slightly tilted his upper body.
The key that could unlock his necklace, the only one in the world.
“When did you make this into a necklace again?”
“Yesterday.”
While playing with the key, Eun-jae, smiling subtly, asked, “Can I undo this?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Don’t take it off as long as you’re by my side.”
Sun-woo embraced Eun-jae again.
“I’ve hired a driver to take you to and from work. From now on, use that car.”
“Why?”
“Or I can do it.”
“…Okay.”
Pfft, Sun-woo chuckled. While patting Eun-jae’s small head, he fell into deep thought.
“Attorney Shin, let’s keep today’s events between us two.”
“Isn’t her mother’s name something like Ahn? Professor, why are you doing this?… No, how could this happen.”
The lawyer, with a face that seemed impossible to believe, looked down at the information containing Kwon Seung-cheol’s personal details.
“Can we proceed like this?”
“It seems difficult, right?”
Why are they always the same?
Why does everything I meticulously plan in front of you end up being useless?
This time, too, my choice was neither Plan A nor Plan B, but Z, Z.
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.]
