Eun Chae watched his refreshing retreating figure for a moment, then turned her gaze. Snowflakes were starting to fall heavily outside the window. It was only November. It was an early first snow compared to usual years.
((())) ((())) ((()))
Apparently wounded by his pride, Han Seung Yoon staggered out.
As soon as he stepped out into the lobby, he was swept away by the crowd. Seemingly frustrated by the blocked path, Seung Yoon spat out a curse, reached for his tie and yanked it off. Then he pulled out his cell phone and made a call somewhere.
Watching this, a tall man with his back turned pulled out a business card from his pocket. He held it between his index and middle fingers, as was his habit, and placed it on the front.
“Kwon Ki Joo, head of the D1 Group Security Team.”
The rectangular business card was simple but luxurious.
“I sincerely apologize.”
It was a respectful and calm bass. But still, an abnormality can’t become the norm. At the 5star hotel MK, the man had audaciously requested something that would barely be granted even if the police presented a warrant.
The rumor that he had hacked down the door to the suite where the VIP was staying with an axe, intruded into the room, and even stomped on the VIP’s face had already spread throughout the hotel.
And then he presented a business card instead of a warrant.
Even knowing that he was pretending to be a sane person, the employee blushed.
“We will compensate for any damages caused to the hotel.”
It was a promise to pay full replacement costs for the suite room door and appropriate compensation for causing a commotion that could damage the hotel’s image. Additionally, an indirect expression that they would block any articles from the media that would catch wind of the situation.
The man didn’t list each of these procedures, but instead picked up a pen. He then brought the pen tip down to the blank space next to his name on the business card and signed it.
“We will contact President Go separately.”
Immediately afterwards, he put the pen down on the business card with the stylishly engraved signature. Once he confirmed that the employee had taken the business card for separate storage, the man turned around again. It seemed that Han Seung Yoon had just finished his call.
“…!”
Seung Yoon, upon making eye contact with him, showed signs of being startled, then clenched his fist as if angry. He seemed enraged at the harsh treatment he had received. But that was all, he lacked the guts to confront him.
Soon enough, Seung Yoon who avoided his gaze first moved his steps. His retreating figure looked quite desperate, which made the man chuckle.
((())) ((())) ((()))
It was an engagement at a 5star hotel that boasted traditional Hanok.
Amid the sound of water flowing along the rugged canyon, which was like a miniaturized cliff, and the exquisite harmony with the Gayageum performance, enhancing the serene atmosphere, the heavy entrance door opened.
At first glance, it seemed like a modest gathering with only the relatives of both families attending, but in reality, it was a collection of influential figures from politics and finance, rarely seen together in one place.
The problem was that to Eun Chae’s eyes, all these distinguished figures appeared like greedy pigs. Her presumptuous fiancé, who was snickering around wearing lipstick even in the blazing daylight, looked like a shameless jerk.
And she, herself, wearing a wellpackaged facade of being the only daughter of the D1 Group, which has never fallen out of the top 10 in the financial sector for the last 10 years…
“It’s the worst.”
Eun Chae, who had stopped in front of the entrance, glanced at the mirror hanging on the wall. She then looked around at the hotel employees of her age who were busily moving around. Her empty eyes eventually wandered somewhere over the wall.
She came here even after such hardship.
There isn’t even a bell as one would expect.
Eun Chae, with a hint of sarcasm, messed up her carefully set hair.
…Not all fights are about winning.
There are also struggles to show determination.
At that moment, Eun Chae turned around without hesitation.
She walked away quickly, leaving behind the sight of both families exchanging greetings. She carelessly went down the steep stairs in her high heels.
The moment I glanced back like a thief with numb feet, coincidentally, I locked eyes with my father. Chairman Song Myung Hwan, who was smiling faintly, quickly realized something was amiss and his expression crumpled without restraint.
At that moment, Eun Chae ran for her life without looking back. Whether my father’s prohibition order was issued or not, the bodyguards followed like a dark torrent.
Eun Chae ran through the empty lobby, forward, further forward.
Her sole intent was to get out and catch a taxi, but mockingly, the front of the hotel was completely empty.
Eun Chae was momentarily engulfed in confusion.
How to deal with this situation, even that worry was fleeting. She bravely stretched her leg towards the road.
At that moment.
Screeech!
Facing a blinding flash along with the ripping noise, Eun Chae inevitably fell down. The heavy breath she exhaled fogged up her vision.
“Heh, heh……”
Surrounded by silence, Eun Chae blankly stared at the black sedan with its headlights on.
Smoke rose from the wheels of the sedan, perhaps due to the abrupt halt.
Soon after, the sound of the door opening with a clunk was heard. The man in the driver’s seat, only silhouetted by the car light, looked down at her sitting on the ground.
It was a straight and heavy gaze.
Eun Chae couldn’t even blink due to an odd sense of foreboding.
Now, she exerted all her effort to determine whether what she was seeing was a mirage created by desperation or a reality.
Finally, he stood up with the headlights behind him. Then, without hesitation, he reduced the distance and removed the radio earpiece from one ear.
Eun Chae’s heart raced until her breath ultimately stopped.
White skin, tousled black hair styled with pomade, piercing black pupils inside slender eyes.
The man’s appearance was so identical to the image in her memory that it seemed surreal.
“Did you only manage to run this far?”
As the man took off his black leather gloves and moved them to his left hand, he spoke. His gaze swept over her surprised face, to her shoulders, and then to her bare feet from which the high heels had slipped off.
“You’re still the same.”
Her body shuddered against her will at those words. Her worthless defiance towards her father and fiancé had long disappeared into the realm of memory.
As the man knelt down in front of her and picked up her slippedoff high heel, he tilted his head to see the messedup sole of Eun Chae’s foot and twisted his handsome face slightly. At that moment, her state of mind, which was already lost in confusion, became completely distorted.
With bloodshot eyes, Eun Chae glared at him.
“Kwon Ki Joo…….”
As soon as she murmured his name, she bit her lips as if it hurt.
She momentarily forgot the conclusion she had reached while attributing various meanings to the words he casually threw.
Eun Chae vividly recalled the love that was abandoned two years ago as if it was only yesterday.
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.]
