“I’m visiting Jeju for the first time,” Seol Hee replied, causing Eun Woo to slightly bow his head in disappointment that the typhoon might ruin their plans for the next day.
Just then, someone in the supermarket bumped into Seol Hee, causing her to lose her balance.
“Whoa.”
Before she could fall, Eun Woo’s strong arms wrapped around her, saving her from a fall. She was quickly enveloped in his sturdy embrace.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m fine.”
She was a bit startled but unhurt. The issue, however, was the closeness of Eun Woo.
His arm was firmly around Seol Hee, and the unexpected contact made her heart skip a beat. She wondered if her heart’s racing was evident to him.
“That was a close call,” Eun Woo said, naturally holding her shoulder.
Seol Hee looked up at Eun Woo, seeing concern in his eyes.
They had come to Jeju, only to be met with a typhoon. They had managed to attend just one conference, and now they couldn’t tour or dine out.
Yet, she felt it wasn’t all that bad.
A smile unknowingly crept onto her face.
“Lucky we went out and came back just now,” Seol Hee remarked as the rain poured down heavily, and the wind howled fiercely. The streets were deserted, giving a feeling that only she and Eun Woo were left. They finally made it home, taking shelter under a large umbrella.
“Oh no, what now?”
The house, which had been intact when they left, now seemed different. Seol Hee looked up in surprise at the roof.
The beautiful Jeju traditional house had a large tree fallen on one side of the roof.
“Look, a tree has fallen over there.”
Closer inspection revealed a thin tree had blown over and hit the roof. Unfortunately, it had fallen over the room Eun Woo was staying in.
They hurried inside, and as expected, they found the ceiling was leaking.
“Ah, this is the first time something like this has happened.”
Drip, drip, water fell into the center of the room. They hurriedly brought a basin to catch the drops and wiped the soaked floor with a mop.
“Even a well-maintained house like this suffers in a typhoon.”
“But what should we do now?”
If the flight tomorrow is cancelled, they would have to stay in this house for another night. Going to a hotel would be ideal, but the worsening weather made it difficult to even drive out. And fixing the roof at night was impossible.
There were only two rooms in the house, Seol Hee’s room, and Eun Woo’s room, where the leak was.
“With the rain pouring like this, you can’t stay here,” Seol Hee noted.
Eun Woo tilted his head, suggesting, “We could sleep in the maru.”
“The maru?”
Instead of an indoor maru, the house only had an open veranda.
“Are you talking about there?” she asked, surprised, pointing to the roof-covered veranda.
Eun Woo nodded.
“No, that’s a bit…”
With the rain and wind, it seemed like even that place would soon be flooded. The house originally belonged to Professor Oak.
“Just sleep in my room together.”
“With you, Seol Hee?”
“Yes.”
Eun Woo frowned, and Seol Hee quickly added, “I won’t invade your space. I won’t even lay a finger on you, don’t worry…”
Eun Woo chuckled at her words.
“I’m not worried.”
“…”
“Are you sure you won’t regret it, Seol Hee?” he asked, his words carrying a hint of a threat.
But still…
Seol Hee glanced at the room she had slept in the previous night. It was spacious enough for one person, but it would be a tight fit for two.
To share a room with Professor Oak.
The thought alone made her nervous, but she had no choice.
“Yes, it’s fine,” she affirmed and led him into the room.
She said it was okay, but sleep eluded her.
Her heart raced at the thought of him being in the next room, let alone lying next to her in the cramped space.
Just a stretch of the hand away, they lay together under different blankets.
Once the lights were out, amidst the sounds of rain and wind outside, his breathing became audible.
Ah, sleep just wouldn’t come.
It had been an hour since she lay down, but her eyes were wide open, not a hint of sleepiness.
Was he asleep now?
Would starting a conversation ease the awkwardness?
“Um, Professor Oak.”
She called out to him softly, loud enough for him to hear if he wasn’t asleep but not loud enough to wake him up if he was. Suddenly, the previously still Eun Woo turned swiftly towards her.
“Whoa!”
He was too close. Blinking in surprise, she was about to ask what was wrong when his deep voice murmured.
“Seol Hee.”
“Yes?”
“You agreed to a request earlier today, right?”
“Yes.”
She had thanked him for taking her to the conference and promised to grant him a wish. At her response, he lifted the corners of his lips in a smile.
“Can I use that wish now?”
His expression was intoxicating.
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…?
