Yoo-eun smiled bitterly and opened the message window she had received from Cha Hyun.
Along with the addresses of the Lotus Hotel and the Itaewon family house, Cha Hyun sent a stern reminder to Yoo-eun.
“He’s not the type to do crazy things.”
If Doha were to do something crazy, it would be entirely premeditated, and no one in the world could stop him.
It would be faster to persuade his lover, Kim Hae-ri, to move him.
How could she possibly deal with a man who unilaterally announces appointments like that?
Remembering her brief call with Doha, Yoo-eun sighed.
“Anyway, asking me to come to the party room by 9 PM, that’s too late.”
She should be at the Itaewon mansion of Chairman Cha Ji-seop, not the Lotus Hotel’s party room by 9 PM.
“It’s 6 PM now, so if I go home, change my clothes, and get ready, it’ll be around 8 PM…”
That should be enough time.
Yoo-eun quickened her pace, checking the time.
8:15 PM.
Arriving at the Lotus Hotel, Yoo-eun quickly scanned her reflection in the mirror as she stepped into the lobby.
It was laughable.
She had gone to great lengths with her appearance, spurred by the opportunity to “make her move.”
Dressed in a thin turtleneck that slightly revealed her figure and a pleated knit skirt, she had put considerable effort into her makeup and hair.
She even wore earrings, which she usually didn’t, and donned stiletto heels matching her outfit.
“Why did I do such an obvious thing?”
She briefly regretted her appearance, reflected in the mirror.
Apparently, she wanted to look good for Doha.
For that man who, despite having a girlfriend, invited her to enjoy a mere escapade.
“No. I’m just doing business.”
Adapting to the preferences of a client who desired a pretty trainer.
With this self-rationalization, Yoo-eun crossed the hotel lobby.
The Lotus Hotel in Sinsa-dong, a boutique hotel, had a distinctive atmosphere right from the entrance.
It felt like entering the mansion of some wealthy Indian, exotic and decadently atmospheric.
Yoo-eun was well aware of the rumors that Kim Hae-ri regularly hosted parties here.
Parties with fellow celebrities or children of conglomerates in secret social gatherings.
When words like ‘secret’ and ‘social’ are attached to a party, the reasons are usually obvious.
As the hotel’s ambiance suggested, these were somewhat closed, incredibly decadent, and very intimate parties. Cha Hyun had described it as a “wild party.”
It was an open secret in the industry that Kim Hae-ri’s agency was troubled by these wild parties.
“Doha is here.”
The place where her lover and party host was.
Standing in front of the party room, Yoo-eun sighed.
It was a location utterly mismatched for Doha.
“It really doesn’t suit him. Enjoying such a party with those eyes.”
Stubborn, sharp, and upright eyes.
She thought people with such eyes didn’t waste their lives like this, but it seemed there were exceptions everywhere.
Yoo-eun smiled bitterly again, bracing herself as she opened the door to the party room.
Loud music sharply pierced her eardrums, and flashing lights and noisy voices disoriented her.
“What… is this?”
The scene inside the party room, just as described, was a veritable cauldron of madness.
Caught in cultural shock, the startled Yoo-eun was wandering her gaze when someone called her name.
“Yoo-eun Seo!”
Yoo-eun’s head reflexively turned to the side.
“Son Kyu-won?”
The man who had completely unbuttoned his shirt to flaunt his chiseled chest and abs was unmistakably Son Kyu-won. Holding a bottle of champagne in one hand, he approached her with his eyes half-closed.
“Meeting our pretty Seo Yoo-eun here again?”
As he came closer, the smell of champagne mixed with whiskey and the pungent odor of cigarettes emanated from him.
Yoo-eun, unable to hide her disgust, ignored him and scanned the interior of the party room. However, Son Kyu-won’s persistence was not easily shaken off.
“If coincidence repeats, it’s intention. Do you like me?”
He came closer, spreading open his shirt wider, with a repugnant smell wafting off him.
Yoo-eun, glancing at his chest with disdain, retorted.
“Seems like you’ve been slacking off with your workouts. Spend more time on your chest instead of this.”
She knew the immense effort Son Kyu-won had put into crafting his physique, and using his body in such a way was quintessentially him. The term ‘madness’ suited no one better than Son Kyu-won.
Ignoring Son Kyu-won’s persistence, Yoo-eun turned away, but he blocked her view again.
“Come on, have a drink with me.”
He laid his hand on her arm and leaned in closer with a sleazy smile.
“You’re here for a reason, too…”
His gaze was more repulsive than the smell emanating from him.
“We know each other, after all.”
Yoo-eun, not bothering to hear the rest of Son Kyu-won’s words, shook off his hand and called a passing waiter.
“Excuse me.”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
