Seol Hee had been holed up at home for a while after quitting her job due to harassment from her team leader. She thought she should start jobhunting soon, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it. The one who got the lethargic Seol Hee up and moving was her mother.
“You’re starting at your uncle’s animal hospital tomorrow.”
“Animal hospital? What kind of nonsense is this? I’ve never properly handled animals before. How can I be a vet nurse?”
“Just try it for three months. During that time, you can interview elsewhere. If you still don’t like the animal hospital, I won’t interfere for the rest of my life.”
No matter how much she argued, she couldn’t overcome her mother’s words.
At Seol Hee’s house, the words of Mrs. Park Myung Ja were like divine law.
So she’s been working there for three months now.
Thinking about it, her mom was right. It was hard at first due to her lack of experience, but working at the animal hospital was kind of fun.
Of course, not everything was great, and there were difficult times.
Seol Hee’s gaze landed on Eun Woo. At that moment, Eun Woo, who had been looking at the director, turned his face towards Seol Hee. Their eyes met.
She was probably not caught staring at him.
Seol Hee quickly averted her gaze.
“Manager, please let us know about today’s schedule.”
“At 10 o’clock, there’s a disc herniation surgery. Dr. Ok will be in charge, Deputy Director as sub, and Chae Rin and Seol Hee will assist. In the afternoon, there’s a benign tumor removal surgery.”
That’s right. Now’s not the time.
This morning, Seol Hee was scheduled to assist in a major surgery.
Of course, her job was minor, like preparing the necessary items, but even those minor things were important to shorten the operation time.
This was her first time participating in such a big surgery. She had studied all last week for today, so it should be okay. Seol Hee straightened her body and made a promise.
((()))((()))((()))
“It’s over.”
The long surgery was finally over.
Finishing up the final touches, Seol Hee barely managed to steady her trembling legs.
She felt like dying.
The surgery that was supposed to last for 3 hours extended over 4 hours and continued past 2 o’clock.
Although the veterinarians doing the surgery must have been tired too, Seol Hee, who was assisting a major surgery for the first time, was nearly collapsing right after the surgery due to the constant high tension from standing at the back.
If it weren’t for the Choco Pie that Eun Woo gave, she might have really passed out from low blood sugar.
Even now, her hands were trembling as she tidied up.
“Ms. Seol Hee.”
“Yes?”
Chae Rin, a staff member of a similar age but with much more experience, grabbed Seol Hee’s trembling hand.
“Did you bring lunch today?”
“No, I was planning to buy from the lunchbox shop.”
“Then, I’ll finish up here. You go buy the lunch.”
“Oh, I can’t let you do that.”
“It’s fine. I need to buy one for the Deputy Director anyway. Go quickly. You look like you’re about to collapse.”
Saying this with a smile, Chae Rin pushed Seol Hee out of the operating room.
Eventually, she hurriedly left to buy lunch for the late lunch of the other staff, her stomach growling from hunger as she walked.
As she was walking weakly, someone stood beside her.
The scent of mint tickled her nostrils. When she looked up in surprise, she met sharp eyes.
It was Eun Woo.
“Dr. Ok. Where, where are you going?”
Why was he standing so close?
He was so close that for a moment, Seol Hee couldn’t breathe.
“I’m going to the lunchbox shop.”
“Ah, then should I go buy it for you instead?”
“That’s okay. Let’s go together.”
No, I’m the one who’s not okay.
The awkwardness between the two had only increased since the incident last weekend, and right now, she was so exhausted she couldn’t muster the strength to tolerate his nagging.
Not to mention, the proximity between them was too close. Close enough to make her heart beat irregularly.
Thump, thump.
She couldn’t bear it anymore.
Attempting to break the uncomfortable atmosphere, she carelessly opened her mouth.
“Um, I appreciated what you did last time.”
“What is it?”
“When my boyfriend, no… my exboyfriend was picking on me, you helped me.”
“It was nothing.”
Then suddenly, Eun Woo’s eyes narrowed.
“Exboyfriend?”
“Ah, yes, we broke up.”
After running into Chan Jung and the team leader last Saturday and returning home, she received countless text messages from Chan Jung.
“One needs to be smart to lie.”
Murmuring, Seol Hee furrowed her brows.
Not wanting to be entangled anymore, she did not respond to the flood of text messages from Chan Jung. Afterwards, an onslaught of calls followed. He called so much that by the time she finished her tasks and returned to the dressing room where she had left her phone, the battery was drained.
In the end, Seol Hee sent him a text.
[Let’s not meet again, even by chance.] The feeling of betrayal that he had cheated on her with the team leader hurt more than the wound of the breakup, making it even painful to recall Chan Jung.“TMI, but I asked to break up as soon as I got home that day.”
Then Eun Woo pulled up the corner of his mouth and smiled.
“That’s good.”
“What do you mean?”
“Because Mr. Yu Seol Hee doesn’t deserve that kind of man.”
That smile was dazzling.
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…?
