This was a hospital. Fortunately, there were no guardians around, but there were so many people standing around. Overjoyed, she hugged Eunwoo tightly.
“T-This.”
Seolhee’s lips stopped. Eyes widened, she pushed Eunwoo away.
Act naturally.
Naturally.
After letting go of Eunwoo, she spread her arms and embraced Chaerin beside her.
“Once, um, as a thank-you gesture, I passed.”
Stammering, she released Chaerin and hugged the manager.
“No, Seolhee, why are we hugging?”
“Um, just once for each of you.”
Then she moved to hug Uncle Wonsang, who was also the director. Once for each person, she hugged and let go.
“Thank you all. Thanks to you.”
Seolhee’s face, saying those words, seemed like it was about to burst into red. It wasn’t because of the joy of passing.
“Thanks to you, I passed.”
Smiles appeared on the faces of those looking at themselves. Especially the manager, who knew well that Seolhee had tried to hide her relationship within the hospital, covered her mouth and chuckled.
Oh, it’s ruined.
Even though she passed, the thought that she ruined it came to her automatically.
“I wonder what’s wrong with me.”
Bang, Seolhee slammed her head against the wall.
Today, Seolhee was in charge of assisting Eunwoo in the examination. As soon as they became a pair, Eunwoo laughed at the faint words that slipped out.
“Don’t worry about it.”
“How can I not worry? Everyone saw us hugging.”
“There’s nothing we can do.”
Nodding at his words, there were about 10 minutes left for the examination to begin. She needed to pull herself together and start the examination.
“Take a break. Calm down a bit.”
“Yes.”
She said that and sat down with a thud. However, Seolhee’s face didn’t brighten easily.
Of course, everyone secretly knew that Seolhee and Eunwoo were dating. It was too obvious to ignore.
The atmosphere between the two, which couldn’t be hidden even if they tried, was sweet enough to be noticed in their eyes. Although they commuted together for the reason that they lived in the same officetel, no one really believed it.
Still, Seolhee and Eunwoo tried to keep a proper distance at the hospital.
Firstly, in case the guardians found out, which might make them uncomfortable, and secondly, because they wanted to keep personal matters private and professional matters public.
Seeing Seolhee looking sulky, Eunwoo spoke up.
“Don’t be so down.”
“…I must have looked foolish, right?”
“No. You did so well, there’s no way you could look foolish.”
He paused for a moment before continuing.
“I liked it.”
“What?”
“After the results were announced, you hugged me right away.”
“Why do you like that?”
Eunwoo tilted his head slightly.
“Because it showed me the most when you were happy.”
“…Is that so.”
Surprised, Seolhee widened her eyes.
“Of course. Mr. Eunwoo, no, sir… I.”
Again, as if to prevent it from being heard outside, Seolhee turned around, glanced at the hallway, and whispered.
“I like you.”
It had been about six months since they started dating. The more she knew, the more she realized that Eunwoo was a person with a lot to learn. A terrifying boss, and the son of a conglomerate. Since learning all the facts, she had been worried, but he became more and more likable.
These days, she was falling for him so much that she wondered if anyone had ever liked someone like this before. Naturally, he was the one she wanted to share the joy of the exam results with.
At Seolhee’s words, Eunwoo raised the corners of his mouth and smiled. After a moment, he put his hand in his pocket. From his white gown pocket, a small box emerged.
“This.”
“What is it?”
She received the black box from him and opened it. With a click, a necklace with jewels hanging at the end of a white string was revealed. At first glance, it seemed simple, but it was undoubtedly a luxurious item.
Seolhee’s eyes widened as she looked at the brand name written vaguely on a small box.
“LarieLarie?”
LarieLarie was a high-end luxury jewelry brand that Seolhee had rarely seen in person. Occasionally, she had come across articles mentioning it, like when a famous actor wore it to an awards ceremony.
In line with its prestige, the necklace was simple but beautiful. Whenever Seolhee moved her hand, the shimmering light was splendid.
“Why something so expensive?”
“It’s a gift.”
“All of a sudden? Today isn’t a special day.”
It wasn’t Seolhee’s birthday or any anniversary. Upon hearing this, Eunwoo smiled slightly.
“During this time, I had something I wanted to say to you, Seolhee.”
He reached out, taking Seolhee’s hand.
“You mentioned becoming an animal care technician and wanting to study harder.”
“Yes.”
“Maybe attend a related school.”
“…Yes.”
So, the family, including Eunwoo’s grandmother, had slightly postponed the eagerly awaited marriage.
Eunwoo continued, “I can wait as long as you need.”
“…”
“But I wanted to let you know my determination. When you’re ready, I want to get married. I want to share not only the happy and enjoyable moments like earlier but also be together in difficult times. I want to share all those moments with you.”
So, I want to give you this gift as a symbol of that determination.
Eunwoo’s words resonated.
“I struggled with where to give it. A nice restaurant, a beautiful travel destination. But since this small 2-square-meter space was our beginning, I hope it signifies our future beginnings together.”
“…”
Seolhee hadn’t expected this. She didn’t expect Eunwoo to prepare something like this.
Seolhee blinked her eyes for a long time, and Eunwoo narrowed his eyes.
“Do you dislike it?”
“No, I like it.”
Seolhee’s immediate response made Eunwoo’s smile slowly widen.
“Great. I also… want to continue being with you, Eunwoo.”
If Seolhee had happy and enjoyable moments like earlier, she wanted to share them for a lifetime. And if he faced difficulties, she wanted to share the burden with him.
It was the first time she truly felt ‘love’ for someone.
“And if it’s okay with only you.”
Seolhee continued.
“I want to get married too.”
“When?”
“Now that I’ve passed the certification exam, soon.”
She wanted to study more, attend a related school, but those were things that could happen after marrying Eunwoo.
Maybe because they lived in the same officetel. It was too difficult for her to part from him now. Sometimes, falling asleep alone and waking up alone in the morning made her feel lonely and melancholic.
“I want to get married. If it’s with you.”
Eunwoo tightly held Seolhee’s hand at her words.
“I love you.”
“Me too.”
After saying that, he placed the necklace around Seolhee’s neck. The diamond at the end of the necklace shimmered beautifully, as if illuminating the future of the two.
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…?
