Originally, Seol Hee was the one who usually spoke when the two of them met, and Eun Woo was the one who listened to her stories. But today, Seol Hee had nothing to say. “The food is delicious.” “The restaurant is splendid.” That was all.
During the meal and on the way home, the only sound that filled the air was the radio that Eun Woo had turned on. There was hardly any conversation between them.
They passed the same apartment entrance, rode the same elevator, pressed the button for the 6th floor, and got off on the same floor.
The series of actions vividly reminded them that they lived in the same building, right next to each other. Eun Woo was holding a small potted plant they had bought from a furniture store.
When they arrived in front of Seol Hee’s house, Eun Woo held out the plant.
“Here, take this inside.”
“Thank you.”
When Eun Woo handed the plant to Seol Hee, their hands briefly brushed against each other. Unlike Seol Hee’s small and thin hand, his was solid and long.
But it wasn’t rough.
He handled even the most delicate tasks with precision during surgeries. As she looked at his hand, Eun Woo also lowered his gaze and looked at her hand.
There was a wound from a few days ago at the hospital. He brushed around the wound with his fingertips.
“Does it still hurt?”
A shudder ran through her where his fingers passed. Rather than pain, it was more like… right now, she felt nervous and dizzy.
Worried, Seol Hee shook her head at his words.
“No, it’s fine.”
“It will heal soon. Are you still taking the medicine?”
“Yes. They said the wound was quite deep.”
“It’s serious. It’s fortunate if the wound didn’t open more from moving around so much today.”
She didn’t care about the wound. The problem was his hand touching hers right now. It felt like her heart was going to burst.
“It will be alright. Well, good night.”
As Seol Hee awkwardly opened the door to enter, Eun Woo spoke from behind.
“When your furniture arrives, I’ll help you assemble it. Don’t strain yourself with that hand.”
At his words, Seol Hee, who was on her way home, suddenly stopped.
For several days now, she had something she wanted to tell him. Whether it was out of concern or because she couldn’t bear it, or for some other reason, he had been helping her in every possible way.
He rented her the room at a low price, helped her look for furniture, and even helped her move. Furthermore, he had saved Seol Hee from Chan Jung multiple times.
But I…
Rejected him.
Seol Hee looked up at Eun Woo. He might be a sharp and somewhat sensitive person, but he was a good man.
“I…”
“Yes?”
She was afraid of being scolded for speaking nonsense, but she gathered her courage and Seol Hee spoke.
“Thank you.”
“For what?”
“For helping me move, for lending me the house…… for everything.”
At Seol Hee’s words, Eun Woo bit his lower lip.
Did he do this often? Did he always do this when he was angry?
She hadn’t been curious about him before, but now, she wanted to know more. Eun Woo, who was nibbling at his lips, blushed and finally spoke.
“Aren’t you going to pay the rent?”
“Huh? Of course, I have to.”
“That’s why you don’t need to be thankful. It’s only natural for a landlord to rent a house and receive money for it. It’s a normal business activity.”
She remembered when he saved her from Chan Jung.
“Thank you so much for today. Fortunately, it seems like Chan Jung has accepted it, and my friends had a good time too.”
When she had said that, Eun Woo had responded lightly.
“You seem to have forgotten. I was the one who suggested we start this.”
So, Eun Woo finds it awkward to hear thank you. At Eun Woo’s sarcastic words, Seol Hee couldn’t help but laugh. Eun Woo furrowed his brows.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Eun Woo, you may not show it, but you’re a good person.”
“……”
“I didn’t know before, but now I think Eun Woo is a really good person.”
If she had heard what was said that day, Seol Hee hoped it would be misunderstood. Upon hearing Seol Hee’s words, Eun Woo lost his words for a moment. It was surprisingly enjoyable to see Teacher Ok, who always talked back, lost for words. Seol Hee bowed with an even brighter smile.
“Then I’ll go in. Thank you for today as well. I will pay for the meal next time. Definitely.”
Today, she insisted on paying, and in the end, Eun Woo even paid for the meal. Whether it’s a meal or a gift, she had to return the favor.
“All right, go in.”
“Then.”
After greeting, she closed the door.
Only the luggage she threw earlier was left in the empty room. The teddy bear had not yet been brought from the hospital, so she was alone in this house today.
Seol Hee took off her shoes, crouched next to her carrier, and leaned against the wall.
She could feel the solid wall behind her.
One wall here,
And another wall behind it.
Just two walls away was Teacher Ok’s room. Thinking about it made her feel strange. Seol Hee tilted her head back while crouching. Thump, thump. She hit the wall with her head.
It wasn’t next door, but the house next to it, so why did she feel strange?
“Being sentimental for no reason since I moved in today.”
Muttering, she stood up to finish tidying up, when the doorbell rang.
“Who is it?”
“It’s Ok Eun Woo.”
A familiar and soft voice echoed through the thin door.
Did he leave something behind?
As she flung the door open, there stood Eun Woo. Just as she had left him a little while ago. No, he was looking down at Seol Hee with a slightly stiff expression. His gaze was pouring down on her.
“Did you forget something?”
“I have something to say.”
“What is it?”
What could be so urgent when they would meet at the hospital tomorrow?
With a slight twist of his lips, Eun Woo whispered.
“You misunderstood, Miss Seol Hee. I’m not a good person.”
At the sudden comment, Seol Hee blinked.
“What?”
“I’m not as good as you think. I’m not a good person who just helps others, helps them without any reason. I had a reason for doing so.”
Eun Woo mumbled, brushing back his flowing hair with his left hand as he lowered his head. His straight forehead was exposed.
“Miss Yu Seol Hee.”
It was strange. Just him calling her name made the beating of her heart louder.
She was worried that he might hear the sound of her heart beating so loudly. Teacher Ok was still looking at Seol Hee with a serious face devoid of laughter. Seol Hee’s lips quivered as she asked him.
“Yes?”
In response to Seol Hee’s question, Eun Woo’s lips slowly parted.
“I like you.”
A soft and firm voice.
Seol Hee opened her eyes wide. Her quivering lips naturally parted. As Seol Hee couldn’t say anything and just looked at him, Eun Woo whispered once more. His voice was more determined and full of conviction than before.
“Miss Yu Seol Hee, I really like you.”
And then, he slowly approached her.

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…?
