“I wasn’t supposed to come back!”
“If I’d known this would happen, I might have preferred to just die!”
“He… Heuk…!”
The regretful lad gasped for breath, tightly closing his eyes.
He felt a choking sensation under the man’s scornful gaze.
Unable to bear the silence, the lad barely opened his mouth.
“Ma… Master I… Isao.”
“You look terrible.”
“……”
“It’s a miracle you’re alive.”
The man who had been silent all along opened his mouth for the first time.
And the lad’s head, already bowed, fell further towards the floor.
“I…I have no face to show.”
“Your dream.”
“That too… was stolen.”
At the lad’s response, Isao, with a slightly raised eyebrow, heaved a heavy sigh.
“It seems you want to starve to death.”
At his reaction, the lad sitting on the floor swallowed dryly.
He already felt sufficiently dead, but now he felt even closer to death.
“Kill me, please!”
The lad, unable to endure the pressure, cried out earnestly, but he just looked down disinterestedly.
When he timidly raised his head after trembling in fear for a while, he saw the king standing far above.
“Get it back.”
“…..Pardon?”
He asked in surprise, but the answer did not come back.
His mind was working overtime.
All he could think about was getting out of this place as soon as possible.
“Th…Thank you, thank you!”
As the lad bowed his head to the floor in gratitude, he gestured for him to leave.
A soft voice followed behind the lad, who was rushing away.
“This is your last chance.”
The lad, who had stopped moving, turned slowly, his shoulders hunched.
Above the face of the man who had been watching him with a clamped jaw, a faint killing intent emerged.
“If you fail again.”
“……”
“You’ll regret that you didn’t die today.”
His halfdead heart felt like it had fallen to the earth’s core.
….Sure enough, he realized belatedly that the wisest choice would have been to die when he could.

“Have you finished crying?”
San asked as he handed a tissue to Kang.
Kang, with a red nose, nodded a few times and took it.
Looking at her like that, he could vaguely understand how much Kang had endured to get to where she was in life now.
It was unbelievable to see Kang, who seemed to be afraid of nothing in the world, be so emotional.
A moment later.
Kang, whose heart seemed to have calmed a bit, asked in a slightly calmer voice.
“You know.”
“……”
“What was the dream you had today about?”
He, who had been silently staring at her, flatly responded.
“The Haesung Orphanage.”
“……”
“You were in the hallway of the orphanage, your throat constricting.”
Upon hearing that, Kang’s expression hardened once again.
It was a scene that had frequently come to her just when she was about to forget, even when she could remember the content of her dreams before the mountain appeared.
And the contents of all her dreams were always closely linked to reality.
Thus, it meant that the nightmare was reenacted based on the events she had experienced directly.
“I used to dream like that sometimes.”
Kang, who had wrapped both her arms, quietly opened her mouth.
“The former director, who died in a fire, would resort to violence all of a sudden.”
From the age of 4 when Kang first entered the orphanage, until she was expelled and returned at the age of 19.
Choi Gap Hoon, who had been the first director of Hae Sung Orphanage, was a devil disguised as a benevolent priest.
He was extremely malicious and intelligent.
To outsiders, the children of the orphanage always seemed to be receiving plenty of love, but in reality, they were not.
When it started to be revealed to the world that there was a terrible dual personality behind his angelic appearance known to the outside world, Choi Gap Hoon hastily prepared to flee abroad.
However, not long after, a major fire broke out at the orphanage, and a total of 9 people, including 6 orphanage students, 2 daycare teachers, and himself, died in the accident.
And in his absence, the deputy director Gam Young Hee became the second director.
“Is it certain that the former director is dead?”
“Yeah. He was burned so horribly, he was unrecognizable.”
Although his gruesome form occasionally appeared in her dreams, nevertheless, Choi Gap Hoon was no longer a person existing in the world.
She asked again as she quietly listened to the story.
“So, do you still keep in touch with the people you knew from the orphanage?”
“I had a younger sibling a year younger who I was closest to but……”
“……”
“He died in that accident.”
Lee Ho Jung.
He was 18 years old at the time of his death.
A bright and vigorous child with a deep dimple that was adorable.
For some reason, it was harder to bear when the scene of that time appeared in her dreams than when she was abused in the orphanage or abandoned in the amusement park.
‘Sis!’
After waking up from a dream, she kept thinking of Ho Jung’s face, desperately calling her from across the soaring flames.
Even knowing that he wasn’t that kind of child, she always collapsed whenever she saw the dead child blaming her for surviving alone in her dreams.
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.]
