Young Suk checked her phone once again to make sure she hadn’t misread the messages with Ms. Kang.
Did you get the membership? I’m at Songhwagung now. Come over here. Let’s have a cup of tea.
Oh, Ms. Kang, you’re here too? Where should we go?
You can come to the Mae Lounge. If you tell the staff at the entrance that I invited you, they will let you in.
Yes, yes! We’ll be there soon.
The Mae, Lan, Guk, and Juk centers, excluding the common areas, could only be entered through members’ phones or biometric authentication.
When Young Suk had visited before, she had peeked into the Mae center, but she couldn’t see much from the outside door.
“Hyemi, I specially asked Ms. Kang so we could come in together. Behave yourself. Don’t disgrace us.”
“Mother, don’t worry. I’ll be very wellbehaved.”
The Mae members’ lounge, where they were led by the staff, was a place of a different dimension from their own lobby.
The interior looked like it was made of highpriced materials, and traditional Korean houses and European luxury furniture were harmoniously arranged. Indeed, it was a place befitting a ladies’ salon.
“Come on in.”
Ms. Kang, who was sitting on the Chesterfield, greeted Young Suk and Hye Mi while sitting.
There were a few women sitting around. Perhaps because it was the Mae center, they all seemed elegant at first glance.
‘They must all be prominent people? All the golden connections should be gathered here.’
There were rumors that highend information about real estate, artwork, and stocks was shared here.
Young Suk and Hye Mi ran up to Ms. Kang and bowed at a right angle.
“Ms. Kang! Thank you. Thanks to you, we’ve become members of Songhwagung and have the opportunity to meet you here today.”
“Well done. I did invite you for tea. But this one is……”
“Ah, she is my daughterinlaw.”
“I’m Oh Hye Mi. It’s an honor to meet someone I’ve always admired!”
“Ah, the second daughterinlaw?”
The motherinlaw called her a mentor and the second daughterinlaw admired her. Ms. Kang found their similar flattery amusing for some reason.
‘So they get along well. It makes sense they wouldn’t match with Hyun Seo.’
Ms. Kang introduced the two to the other acquaintances next to her.
“I should introduce you to everyone here. This is Han Young Suk, who is about to become the wife of Chairman Jin Sung Chae, and her daughterinlaw.”
“Ah, that gentleman? I’ve heard a lot about him.”
“Oh, that’s who he is.”
Although the reactions of the people who pretended to know made Young Suk feel somewhat uncomfortable, she couldn’t show it. Instead, she kept a bright smile that strained her facial muscles.
“Ah, hello, nice to meet you.”
“Hello.”
After the two exchanged greetings and sat down, Ms. Kang asked Young Suk.
“Is this your first time here? What kind of tea are you drinking these days?”
According to what Young Suk had seen in an interview, Ms. Kang was a tea enthusiast.
Young Suk felt at a loss for a moment, but she revived her memory of Hyun Seo serving tea at home and answered.
“Lately, I’ve been enjoying wall germander and black tea from Ki Moon. I love tea so much that I’ve often brewed it myself.”
‘I criticized him for liking the smell of that grassy stuff and wasting money, but who knew it would help now.’
“I see. If you’re drinking Ki Moon black tea, then you have some basic knowledge. Now, why don’t you brew some tea?”
At Ms. Kang’s commanding tone, Young Suk, who blinked her eyes, elbowed Hye Mi, who was sitting next to her, in the ribs and whispered.
“Hey, you go and tell the staff to bring us some tea.”
At that, Hye Mi jumped up from her seat.
“Yes, mother.”
“No, not you, I mean her.”
However, Ms. Kang made Hye Mi, who was about to get up, sit back down and gestured towards Young Suk.
“Han Young Suk. You go and make it. Make sure there are enough cups for everyone here.”
“Me, ma’am?”
Young Suk looked around in confusion at the women around her.
‘There are many women here who look younger than me, why is she asking me to do this errand? Is this what kids call a shuttle… something like that? A bread shuttle… no, a tea shuttle?’
A feeling of indignation rose within her, hurting her pride.
“Right. You go and get it yourself. There will be a variety of good teas and various utensils prepared.”
“But, the center staff would be better at this.”
Young Suk’s face turned red and she stammered. The other women sitting there were all staring at her.
‘Do they think they are highclass members or something?’
It felt as if a hierarchy was being established and she felt as if her inferiority complex was about to explode. However, she couldn’t show it.
“No, I want to taste the tea you’ve brewed. I want to see how well you know tea since you call me a mentor.”
Young Suk was in a bind. She had never properly brewed tea before and didn’t even drink it, and now she was being asked to brew it.
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.]
