She said her goodbye, and bolted out of the real estate office, as if she was terrified that her parents might walk in any minute.
The door slid open, and then closed with a thud.
Seeing Seol Hee run off faster than light, as if she felt burdened by the presence of her parents and Eun Woo, he twisted his lips.
The distance between them was still quite significant.
Despite having meals together, dating, and even going house hunting, Seol Hee’s expression still changed rapidly when she was in front of Eun Woo.
“So, you know the veterinarian well?”
Ever since Eun Woo started working, he had saved up money and owned several rooms in this apartment building.
He was always paying the rent, so he had a close relationship with the real estate agency. The friendly real estate agent pointed his chin towards where Seol Hee had been standing and Eun Woo nodded in response to his question.
“She’s an employee at our hospital.”
“Oh, I see!”
Clapping his hands as if he finally understood, he bobbed his head.
“But you must be really close. Considering you cancelled a contract with someone else.”
Eun Woo merely lifted the corner of his mouth in response to his words.
The apartment Seol Hee had contracted today was supposed to have a new tenant move in next month, after the previous tenant had left.
However.
“Are you still looking for a house?”
“It’s not easy. Landlords don’t like the fact that I have a dog.”
Seeing the troubled Seol Hee had been bothering him. Eventually, Eun Woo decided to cancel the contract with the tenant, offering them twice the deposit. Thankfully, the other party found a similar property quickly and agreed with a happy heart.
Of course, all of this was a secret to Ms. Yu Seol Hee.
She was already feeling burdened about moving into this house, it was clear how startled she would be if she knew about this backstory.
“She is even receiving much less rent than usual. That lady is really lucky. To meet such a wonderful boss.”
“……”
“By any chance, is she your girlfriend?”
At the real estate agent’s words, Eun Woo’s eyes widened.
“That’s not the case.”
There was no need to mention a relationship here. So, he shook his head. There was no ulterior motive for bringing her here. But that wasn’t the case.
“I just, plan to get to know her better.”
Eun Woo chuckled, then took the elevator back up to his apartment.
Ms. Yu Seol Hee, she was shocked to find out earlier that I was the landlord.
I wonder what expression she would make if she knew that I live right next door?
Suddenly, Eun Woo was curious about Seol Hee’s expression when she would find out.
The hump of the week, Wednesday.
This week was busy. She had signed a house contract on Monday. Seol Hee’s body fell from exhaustion when she got home, but the clinic was peaceful as usual.
In the ward, technician Chae Rin was teaching Seol Hee how to restrain a dog. During the internship period at the clinic, they usually did not touch the patients but mainly handled disinfection, cleaning, and other peripheral tasks.
‘Ah, it felt like the internship period would never end.’
This was Seol Hee’s first task after her long internship period finally ended.
“Restraint is to prevent dogs or cats from moving when performing medical procedures or grooming. Ensuring that the pet doesn’t get hurt, that the person performing the treatment stays safe, and that the procedure can be carried out properly, is important.”
Chae Rin, speaking with her pretty lips, was adorable. Maybe it was a little hot, her flushed face looked lovely. It was understandable why Jin Ho had fallen for her at first sight.
They had met once, as far as she heard, she wondered how it went. It would be nice if it worked out. Although she hadn’t known Jin Ho for a long time, he seemed like a good person. She was curious about how that blind date went, but refrained from asking, not wanting to overstep.
Having experienced a public relationship, Seol Hee knew better than anyone that unnecessary meddling could ruin the relationship and hurt feelings.
“If a situation arises where I need to say something, I’ll do it then,” she decided, and so Seol Hee kept her mouth tightly shut.
Chae Rin began to explain further.
“But, this depends on the dog. Some dogs get more nervous when they’re held tightly and can’t move at all. They’ll wriggle their whole bodies and cause a scene. It’s the technicians’ job to hold them properly during the veterinarian’s examination, so we need to practice a lot.”
Seol Hee held Ddo Ri, the soft and warm brown furball was fully in her arms.
“First, wrap one arm around the chest like this, and hold the face so that it doesn’t move,” she instructed.
Seol Hee tried to follow Chae Rin’s instructions, but Ddo Ri was so accustomed to people that it remained still no matter what she did. It entrusted its body to human hands, stretching out as if it were playing with her.
Blink, blink.
It blinked its large black eyes.
‘What are we playing? A new game?’
As if asking that.
“What should I do! Ddo Ri is too wellbehaved to practice with,” she complained.
In the end, seeing Ddo Ri’s cute face, the two burst into laughter. The fluffy furball Ddo Ri, whether Seol Hei held him tightly or loosely, seemed pleased and licked Seol Hei’s hand in response.
In the end, the practice session concluded with a different puppy.
((()))((()))((()))
That afternoon, Seol Hee assisted Eun Woo with his clinic work.
“You said you learned restraint from Chae Rin this morning, right? Have you gotten friendly with the dogs now?”
“I am now confident with dogs.”
She puffed her chest out confidently. Perhaps she appeared too inexperienced, and Eun Woo smirked.
“Really?”
“Please believe me, doctor.”
“Restraint may seem easy, but it’s harder than you think. Well, let’s do our best.”
He brought a small Chihuahua to the examination room for an ear cleaning. The Chihuahua’s name was Somteol. Dr. Ok suggested Seol Hee try it herself, so he handed Somteol over to her.
Somteol lifted its head and stared intently at Seol Hee.
A quiet and calm gaze.
It was a face like the calm before a storm.

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…?
