Even when crossing the road recklessly, even when jumping in to protect me from threats, I wondered why he went to such lengths, but I thought it might be because of the severe trauma Kang Hyun suffered from losing Han Seo Yoon in a traffic accident.
Seeing his big hands trembling, I felt a lump in my throat and couldn’t draw a firm line.
I was strangely attracted to Tae Kang Hyun.
I took his persistent gaze for granted. His sudden appearances from all directions, I accepted.
The side dishes he hurriedly passed me during meals, the tender care that didn’t match his indifferent face, I accepted all that too.
I tried hard not to read too much into the brief kiss in the hotel room.
I knew that he was desperately missing his deceased lover, and that knowledge brought tears to the eyes of any onlooker.
But amidst all those acceptances, I ended up harboring feelings for Kang Hyun, and they grew day by day.
My heart, blatantly ignoring the warnings from my mind that this relationship was wrong, chose to race ahead.
Kang Hyun, constantly leading me into misconceptions despite everything going awry, was also a source of resentment.
“Do you see me as a woman because I look exactly like Han Seo Yoon?”
Even though it felt presumptuous, I couldn’t stop myself after starting the question.
I knew Seo Yoon and I couldn’t be completely separated, but if there was even a bit of Seo Ji An in his response, I thought I might find the courage.
“No.”
Kang Hyun, staring at the white hand holding his arm, muttered briefly.
“So…”
I trembled slightly at the corners of my eyes, waiting for Kang Hyun’s lips to move again.
“I try not to like you.”
“What?”
“I feel like if I do nothing, I can see Ms. Seo Ji An for a longer time.”
My eyes, about to pop out, blinked rapidly.
Not because of Han Seo Yoon, but does he mean he does see me as a woman?
Trying not to like me but wanting to see me for a long time?
I wriggled my eyebrows, trying to grasp the ambiguous meaning of his words.
“Take your time looking around. I’ll wait outside.”
While I was left standing there dumbfounded, Kang Hyun disappeared from view.
“No, wait.”
After all the skinship and the emotional turmoil, now he says he’ll do nothing.
I pouted and grumbled.
It felt like the famous ‘push and pull’ tactic, yet strangely, it also felt like receiving a confession.
With a deep sigh, I trudged across the living room toward the entrance.
The house was overly generous; there was no need to look around anymore.
As the door lock clicked open from inside, Kang Hyun, who had been leaning against the outer wall, straightened up.
Finding it hard to speak immediately, I took a moment to catch my breath before opening my mouth.
“Thank you for the house. I’ll return it when my situation improves.”
I wanted to refuse the house given for being Han Seo Yoon’s twin, but the current circumstances were too pressing.
With the image of my parents going from one real estate office to another, I had no choice but to conform to reality.
“This house is for Ms. Seo Ji An.”
“I knew it before I lost my memory.”
“What did you know?”
“That I was adopted. So, you don’t need to worry about me anymore. This compensation is enough.”
Ji An, who had approached Kang Hyun closely, spoke with a resolute expression.
“And Director. It’s not right to say you did nothing. You held my hand, and our lips, our lips touched.”
After receiving Ji An’s direct question about whether he liked her, Kang Hyun’s mind was in turmoil, and he frowned.
“What do you want me to do for you?”
His frustration at being neither able to advance nor retreat made his tone unintentionally threatening.
Old habits die hard.
Kang Hyun, chastising himself for not being able to clear his mind, slowly raised his hand to his face.
“I just… don’t expect you to do anything for me.”
Despite his tone, Ji An, not particularly intimidated, flushed and moved her lips.
“Our relationship is a bit complicated, but honestly, we’ve already done what needed to be done. So I think there’s no need to make an effort not to like me.”
Ji An wanted to get a little closer to Kang Hyun, at least showing that she wasn’t just a substitute for Han Seo Yoon in his eyes.
[Star Icon] [Star Icon] [Star Icon]After dining at a fancy restaurant, Yeonju sat in the hotel lounge cafe, stirring the ice in her Americano with a straw.
Seokwon, sitting opposite her, pushed macarons and cake closer to her.
It was the first meeting of the three dates Yeonju had proposed.
After the eve event and workshop, Yeonju carefully chose the day.
She waited for the moment when her appearance would be at its peak, receiving consistent skin care and grooming her body, and that day was today.
Though she hadn’t counted the years, a considerable time had passed since she first confessed to Seokwon.
There’s no tree that won’t fall after ten strikes.
But a man more stubborn than a log wouldn’t budge no matter how much she tried.
Still, having secured three last chances, she planned to go all out without holding back.
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.
