The first thing Seol Ji Oh did after finishing the shoot was to take his phone from Choi Hyun. When he turned on the phone, there was an enormous number of missed calls.
Disregarding the list of missed calls, Seol Ji Oh asked Choi Hyun,
“Did the company release a position statement article?”
“We’re in touch with Ko Hyun Ah’s side, but it seems they’re not reachable.”
Seol Ji Oh lifted his head from his phone and looked at Choi Hyun.
“They haven’t released the article yet? Why?”
“If one side admits and the other doesn’t, the damage to both images would be too great. So we decided to contact Ko Hyun Ah’s side and consider releasing the article.”
“Huh!”
Incredulous, Seol Ji Oh laughed, then said with a cold voice,
“I said it wasn’t me. The scandal’s been out for so long, and still……!”
Seol Ji Oh stopped talking. He didn’t have time for this.
“Tell the CEO. If the article isn’t released immediately, I won’t stay quiet.”
Seol Ji Oh said coldly and then turned and walked to a less crowded area. After checking his surroundings, he quickly called Yeo Woon. An involuntary sigh escaped his lips.
Why did everything get so tangled? Yeo Woon shouldn’t be left to imagine the worst and get hurt on her own.
The call connecting tone continued for quite a while. Seol Ji Oh started to feel anxious.
Why isn’t she picking up?
The call transferred to voicemail. Seol Ji Oh hung up and called Yeo Woon again.
He hoped for a moment that she might be on a plane to Macau, but it was far past the time she should have already arrived. Was she not picking up because she was angry?
As Seol Ji Oh anxiously contemplated whether to send a text, the call connecting tone stopped and Yeo Woon picked up the call.
[Hello.] “Ah……. Yeo Woon.”Seol Ji Oh let out a sigh of relief at Yeo Woon’s voice and called her name, but there was no response from the other side.
Holding the phone up properly, Seol Ji Oh said in a clear voice,
“The article is wrong. I don’t have any relationship with Ko Hyun Ah.”
When Yeo Woon didn’t say anything, Seol Ji Oh, feeling more and more concerned, poured out the whole story.
“Ko Hyun Ah suddenly fainted yesterday, and all I did was take her to her room. I was the only one who could take her. And she was worried about the shooting, so I gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder.”
[……Okay.]
Hearing Yeo Woon’s voice, which just responded weakly, Seol Ji Oh felt even worse.
She seemed to be very angry. How should he calm her down?
“Yeo Woon, I’m serious.”
[You don’t need to explain everything to me. It’s not like we’re dating.]
At Yeo Woon’s cold words, Seol Ji Oh’s eyes widened. Puzzled by her comment, he ran his tongue around his mouth, searching for words.
Did she think…… like that?
“Why aren’t we dating? Because I didn’t say it?”
[…….]
Seol Ji Oh paused.
He thought they were already in a relationship, having confirmed their feelings for each other and even sharing a kiss. But Yeo Woon’s thinking seemed to have been slightly different.
That means she would have heard about the scandal without the certainty of dating, and he could easily imagine how much Yeo Woon must have suffered today.
Seol Ji Oh sighed lowly, rubbing his forehead with one hand.
“Yeo Woon.”
He wasn’t used to saying such things over the phone, but he had no choice now.
Seol Ji Oh took a moment to compose himself and carefully opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner.”
[…….]
“The person I like is you. No one else.”
Seol Ji Oh paused for a moment, startled by the rapid beating of his own heart.
He hadn’t expected it to tremble.
“……Let’s date.”
Yeo Woon didn’t say anything. But he felt her breathing trembling slightly over the phone. Her breathing grew louder, and soon, her voice was filled with sobs.
He wanted to rush to her and comfort her, but the physical distance between them suddenly seemed all the more regrettable.
“I’m sorry. I won’t lay a finger on another woman from now on.”
[Do you know how shocked I was! Everyone says Seo Ga Ram is twotiming……!]
“Twotiming? Ha. I didn’t see Seo Ga Ram like that, but it seems I have to. Don’t hang out with Ga Ram.”
[Sniff……hic. Ga Ram is my……hic…… only friend.]
A smile crossed Seol Ji Oh’s lips.
Why is she so cute? I miss her so much.
“I can’t help it. I’m leaving now.”
[Eh?]
“Even though it’s a bit tight, I think I can see your face and go.”
Seol Ji Oh quickly calculated the time in his head. That’s when Yeo Woon spoke hastily.
[You have a shoot tomorrow. I’ll just go, Ji Oh!] “No, I’m fine.”
[No! You have to come without even getting proper rest. I don’t like that! Last time, you came, so this time, I want to go.] Hearing Yeo Woon’s worried voice, Seol Ji Oh felt a strange happiness. A smile slowly spread across his lips.
The idea that someone would willingly endure hardship to see him was more thrilling than he thought.
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.]
