“I will deliver the news that just came in a little while ago. It’s about the leaked message of Congressman A of the XX party, who was embroiled in scandalous rumors.”
I pronounced the three letters of the word “scandal” clearly as I stared into the camera.
As I delivered the breaking news, the screen switched to the originally scheduled interview.
“This has been News9.”
With that last comment, I finished all the proceedings of News9.
Only after confirming the start of the advertisements did I rise from my seat.
“Everyone, good job.”
“Anchor Yoon, you’ve worked hard from the first day too.”
“You handled the scandal article that came in as breaking news smoothly.”
“That’s right. Was it because it was an article you were interested in?”
As I stood up, my eyes met with Seo Rin’s, who was looking at me from in front of the green chroma key cloth.
Her complexion seemed darker as if she had heard what I just said.
I gave her a leisurely smile as she glared at me with the script tightly held in her hand.
“Are you interested in such articles?”
“That’s unexpected.”
I was in the middle of laughing and chatting with the staff gathered around me.
Maybe she couldn’t stand to see me in the newsroom anymore.
By the time I turned my head back towards the entrance, Seo Rin had completely disappeared from my sight.
When I came back to the control room after wrapping up, the office was empty.
As the last news ended late, everyone else had already left work.
‘Something feels different.’
Feeling a strange sensation, I sat in my spot and looked around.
And then I saw Seo Rin, who was still in her seat even though it was past her quitting time.
When I turned around just in case, she was busily typing.
She seemed so focused that she didn’t even notice the office door opening.
I was about to leave the office when I turned around and headed towards Seo Rin’s desk.
Even as I approached, she was still engrossed in her work.
“Aren’t you going home?”
“Ah!”
Seo Rin, startled by my voice, quickly closed the window that was open on her monitor.
Her face contorted with shock when she saw me.
“Why are you so surprised?”
“Ah, no, it’s just… I didn’t realize it was so late. I’m late.”
Seo Rin quickly gathered her bag and gave me an awkward smile.
“I’ll be going, sis.”
Just as I was watching Seo Rin about to leave.
The office door opened and I looked up at the familiar title that was called out.
“Anchor Yoon.”
I met eyes with the news filming team staff who spoke through the half-open door.
Seo Rin, who was about to leave, also turned her head towards the direction of the voice.
“Director Lee is looking for you.”
“Me? Now?”
“Yes. He said to stop by if you were about to leave.”
Why would Director Lee look for me at this late hour?
I walked past Seo Rin, who was standing still at the strange summons.
It seemed strange to Seo Rin too, she was looking at me with suspicious eyes until the moment I left the announcer’s room.
‘Why is he looking for me?’
Even as I hurried towards the director’s office, my mind was filled with question marks.
I was surprised that the director hadn’t gone home yet.
.
.
.
As I entered the director’s office with a short knock, I saw him sitting on the sofa.
“Oh, you’re here?”
“I heard you were looking for me.”
I saw the director looking at me with a half-smile and someone sitting in front of him.
‘Who could it be at this hour? The figure looks familiar.’
The figure sitting in front of him seemed strangely familiar.
My heart began to race at the sight of the familiar back.
‘Could it be.’
I took one step at a time towards the sofa placed in the middle of the office.
The person sitting down turned towards me at the sound of my approaching footsteps.
“I enjoyed watching the broadcast.”
As expected, it was Jae Ha.
“Why are you here?”
It was past ten in the evening, and I couldn’t hide my surprise at seeing Jae Ha in the director’s office at this late hour.
He looked at me and curled his lips in a grin.
“Why? I came to work.”
Work, at this late hour…?
Contrary to my confused expression, he seemed relaxed.
As I approached the sofa he was sitting on, Jae Ha spoke in a voice that only I could hear.
“I told you I would celebrate, didn’t I?”
“What does that mean?”
Then, suddenly, I remembered the conversation we had on the way home from the hospital.
Seeing my changed expression, he squinted one eye.
‘But why would he come to the director’s office to celebrate?’
As I alternated my gaze between the two of them, still not understanding, the director pointed to the TV with a smile.
“He came about an investment matter. He was monitoring your first broadcast with me.”
The director shrugged as if it was no big deal and spoke to me.
No matter what, I couldn’t believe the two of them had been monitoring the news until this late hour.
“And then you two had a plan after it ended?”
“A plan?”
‘Do I have a plan that I’m unaware of?’
I quickly turned my head at the mention of this unfamiliar plan.
As my gaze met with Jae Ha’s, he spoke softly in a voice only I could hear.
“Dinner.”
“Huh?”
“Let’s have dinner.”
With those words, Jae Ha, who had come close, moved away.
How did it come to be that I, a party to the agreement, only learned about it when even the third party, the director, knew?
I was so taken aback by the surprise that I let out a hollow laugh.
“For now, sit down. The director said he had something to talk to you about.”
“Right. Yoon, why don’t you take a seat?”
Following Jae Ha’s gesture to the seat next to him, the director also chimed in.
When did these two get along so well?
As I blinked in confusion, the director gave a sly smile and continued.
“You were curious about the anchor audition, weren’t you?”
My first day on the job.
I had asked about the audition several times, but the director said I would find out later.
‘Could it be.’
The method of selecting the anchor for the deadline news had suddenly changed from an unofficial evaluation to a public audition.
Someone who could overcome the pressure of the successor, Ji Han, and firmly push his own will.
As I belatedly understood the situation, my eyes widened in surprise.
‘Could it be.’
“Yes, it was Chairman Seo Jae Ha.”
As the director’s words continued, I couldn’t close my astonished mouth.
“He helped change the anchor selection to an audition this time.”
And slowly, a smile spread across Jae Ha’s face as he looked at me.
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.]
