“Hey Kwon Ki Joo. How have you been?”
“Isn’t it a bit too short a period to ask that?”
His reply was characteristically sharp. Eun Chae lifted a bag full of snacks.
“I bought a lot of snacks. Want some?”
“Visiting frequently, huh? Marking your attendance?”
Responding with another question, Kwon Ki Joo looked at her as she smiled and said.
“Joo Hee and I are best friends. And well, I also come to see your handsome face, hehe.”
As he was about to close the door, Eun Chae quickly blocked it with her foot.
“What are you doing?”
Kwon Ki Joo frowned at Eun Chae’s small foot blocking the door.
“Listen, Kwon Ki Joo… You have a huge high-spec monitor in your room, right?”
“So?”
“Have you watched the third part of that zombie series?”
“Not yet.”
“Then, can we watch it together later?”
“Why should I?”
His response was as sharp as a knife, causing Eun Chae to flinch but then she smiled again.
“My computer screen is too small, and it’s not fun watching with earphones secretly. Plus, we never had a chance to get close; watching a drama together would be a good opportunity, right?”
“Why should I?”
As Kwon Ki Joo replied robotically, Eun Chae struggled to find a response when Joo Hee, who just came upstairs, looked at them curiously.
“Why are you talking to Kwon Ki Joo again, Eun Chae?”
Kwon Ki Joo glanced irritably at Joo Hee, who sounded as if she was talking about a virus.
“Didn’t I tell you before? Your friend is unilaterally bothering me.”
“Really, Kwon Ki Joo! Are you going to keep talking to my friend like that?”
Joo Hee, forgetting she was carrying a tray with juice cups, stormed over, causing two glasses to fall with a loud crash. A small shard grazed Eun Chae’s cheek.
“Ouch!” Eun Chae cried, reaching for her cheek when Kwon Ki Joo quickly grabbed her wrist.
“Oh no! Are you okay?” Joo Hee looked at Eun Chae with wide eyes as Kwon Ki Joo leaned in to inspect the cheek, where a tiny bead of blood had formed.
“Oh no! It’s bleeding! I didn’t see that coming!!” Joo Hee shrieked dramatically, prompting Kwon Ki Joo to frown.
“Stop the noise and clean this up. It’s dangerous.”
Kwon Ki Joo then led Eun Chae, still holding her wrist, to the living room.
Awkwardly led by Kwon Ki Joo, Eun Chae stood there as he got a first-aid kit, opened it, and started applying ointment with a cotton swab.
“Um… it’s just a scratch. I don’t think it needs ointment…”
Kwon Ki Joo, without replying, continued applying the ointment.
“Aren’t you a girl? It’s a wound on your face. And your skin is so white like sticky rice cake, so it stands out.”
“Sticky rice cake? I like that…”
Kwon Ki Joo sighed softly.
“Your focus really is zero, huh?”
“Hehe, I hear that often.”
Kwon Ki Joo shook his head and leaned in to gently apply the ointment on her cheek.
Eun Chae found herself staring at Kwon Ki Joo’s face, so close to her own.
‘Wow, his skin is no joke. Is he really a middle schooler? How can he not have a single pimple?’
Noticing Eun Chae’s intense gaze, Kwon Ki Joo quickly turned and looked at her, their faces almost touching.
“Why are you staring like that?”
Taken aback, Eun Chae slowly lifted her hand and gently caressed Kwon Ki Joo’s smooth cheek.
Surprised by her touch, Kwon Ki Joo’s eyes fluttered.
“Your skin is really good. How can a boy have such nice skin? What lotion do you use?”
After such a close encounter, and all she asks about is lotion…
Kwon Ki Joo stood up abruptly.
“Put the bandage on yourself.”
He threw a bandage on Eun Chae’s lap and was about to leave when suddenly she grabbed the hem of his pants.
Kwon Ki Joo turned sharply, glaring at her, as Eun Chae looked up at him with a pleading, kitten-like expression.
“What now?”
Kwon Ki Joo asked irritably, and Eun Chae, pointing to her injured cheek, said wistfully,
“Kwon Ki Joo… I’m hurt. Can’t we watch the third part together, out of pity? I promise I’ll be quiet and just watch, okay?”
Kwon Ki Joo closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened them again to look at Eun Chae.
Eun Chae gazed at Kwon Ki Joo with an even more wistful expression than before, her brown eyes shimmering as she looked at him intently.
After a moment of internal struggle, Kwon Ki Joo seemed to come to a decision. He looked at Eun Chae and said,
“Come to my room at 3 o’clock. But don’t make a sound, and no snacks.”
“But I bought so much snacks?”
Seeing Kwon Ki Joo’s eyes narrow, Eun Chae quickly saluted and replied,
“Understood! Without snacks! I’ll sit quietly like I’m invisible!”
Instead of responding, Kwon Ki Joo glanced at Eun Chae with a displeased look and left the living room.
As soon as Kwon Ki Joo left, Eun Chae jumped up and did a joyful hula dance.
That’s how Eun Chae and Kwon Ki Joo started watching zombie dramas together.
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.]
