Seo Woo murmured under her breath and bought the Cheonhyehyang oranges.
It looked incredibly fresh. And it wasn’t just thrown into a basket, but looked as though it would be lavishly positioned inside a thick, highquality gift box.
“If you don’t buy this now, I’m not sure how we’ll dispose of it. Just take it as leftovers. We have to close soon anyway.”
“Then, give me this.”
It wouldn’t be rotten inside while looking perfectly fine on the outside, would it?
No, it wouldn’t be. Neighborhood merchants wouldn’t do that, and every piece of fruit she’d bought cheaply so far had tasted only good.
The last time she bought a pack of cherry tomatoes, they told her ‘one plus two’ and she got two more packs of perfectly round cherries.
It wasn’t ‘one plus one,’ but two extra packs for one, and cherries instead of cherry tomatoes. It really was a store that lived up to its name.
Today, too, Eun Seo Woo bought Cheonhyehyang instead of tangerines from the store. She thought it was worth coming home late from her parttime job.
She thanked him, lifted the heavy bag to leave, but Mr. Kim spoke up.
“Oh, by the way, the boss had something to do, so he left early this evening.”
“Huh?”
Eun Seo Woo looked surprised, halting her departure.
“I mean, our store’s boss.”
“Oh, yes.”
But, I never asked about the boss’s whereabouts…?
“They say they don’t know a person’s whereabouts but they know an empty place. I thought you might be wondering since you didn’t see the boss.”
Thinking about it, whether it was early morning or late at night, the boss always seemed to be there when she was commuting.
Still, she hadn’t paid attention every time, so Mr. Kim’s words felt somewhat out of the blue to Eun Seo Woo.
“If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime.”
“Uhhuh, sure.”
At Mr. Kim’s kindness, Eun Seo Woo smiled faintly again and turned around.

“Eun Seo Woo can’t say no right away when she wants to refuse. Even though she has no intention of dating you.”
Tae Min Hyuk’s house.
He stood by the window, turning the glass in his hand. The pumpkincolored alcohol filled to the brim without ice swirled precariously in the glass.
What Han Cha Woong had said earlier kept resonating in his ears.
“If she really likes you, she’ll accept when you say you want to date. Why would she waste her time pining like this?”
Tae Min Hyuk too, thought it was too much trouble. He thought everything would go smoothly since Eun Seo Woo said she liked him from the start.
He hadn’t anticipated he would worry this much.
Yet he didn’t perceive Eun Seo Woo as indecisive or weak. If one judged her by her exterior, one might have that impression. Because her demeanor seemed quite delicate.
But the Eun Seo Woo that Tae Min Hyuk had seen was not so.
She would straight out say she didn’t fantasize about any airyfairy dreams, that she didn’t intend to become Cinderella. It seemed like her style was to say what needed to be said.
Then Han Cha Woong called. Tae Min Hyuk, hiding his troubled mind, picked up his mobile phone.
“Bro, really not going? Wang Hyo Hee is going to throw a fit.”
It was the birthday of Wang Hyo Hee, a younger sibling he had known for a long time through familial connections. His secretary Han Cha Woong, who was pressurized, was calling again.
“I’m not going.”
“I’m the only one who is going to die in the middle. Even for me, can’t you just go this once?”
“Why should I have to go to that worthless party for you? Just ignore it.”
“Sigh.”
Cha Woong’s sigh echoed for a long time.
“Only you can ignore it, I can’t do that.”
His breathing, which was already tired at the prospect of being harassed by Wang Hyo Hee, suggested he had given up from the start.
“Anyway, how about David Kim’s side?”
“He found his first love, Kim Hee Ju, and now he knows she passed away. Seems like he just found out about his daughter.”
“That’s slower than expected.”
“That side didn’t jump in trying to find out quickly like us, so of course, the speed would be slower. He needs time to mourn Kim Hee Ju, and then probably heartfelt feelings for a daughter he didn’t even get to hold.”
Tae Min Hyuk had found Kim Min Ju quicker than David Kim, and because of that, he believed he had an advantage in this matter. He didn’t expect he would be blocked by Eun Seo Woo’s steel wall and be tormented like this.
Moreover, by useless worries from his perspective, like ‘Why did you reject me when you said you liked me?’
“This is the first time I’ve seen you look so troubled.”
“You, are you laughing?”
Tae Min Hyuk asked in a cold tone.
“Huh? What! Why?! I’m not laughing! Definitely not laughing!”
“You’re laughing right now. Shall we connect a video call?”
“Oh my, why would our respected big brother say that? I’m also in the middle of a huge headache, trying to figure out how to get Eun Seo Woo to start a smooth relationship with you. I’m going to worry all night, so let’s meet tomorrow morning?”
This guy, he’s definitely laughing. Tae Min Hyuk inexplicably felt irritated.
“So, brother, about Wang Hyo….”
“Stop.”
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.
