She narrowed her eyes and whispered.
“He made a mistake in prescribing medication. It was steroids, but the dosage was too high. When I checked if he confirmed the dog’s weight, he hadn’t even weighed it. He just said it should be about right.”
“That’s dangerous.”
“Sulhee, it’s strange, isn’t it? I know it’s not my place to say. But just in case, I reported it to the director.”
“That’s good.”
“I don’t like his attitude either, thinking he’s all that just because he’s handsome.”
Chae Rin pouted as she spoke. Suddenly, a long shadow loomed from behind.
“What don’t you like?”
Startled, they turned around to find I-hyun standing there. They hadn’t heard anyone approaching.
Did he hear us?
His face betrayed no such indication. He just wore a languid smile, and Chae Rin shook her head.
“Just… the meat quality today isn’t up to the mark.”
“Isn’t today’s meat Hanwoo?”
“Well… it is, but it’s not that great. It seems frozen. I’ll go get some mushrooms.”
Chae Rin awkwardly excused herself and left. I-hyun, taking the tongs she was holding, raised an eyebrow.
“What were you talking about?”
“Nothing much.”
You can’t exactly say that you find him suspicious. But I-hyun persisted, tilting his head.
“Sulhee.”
“Yes?”
“What did Eunwoo say about me?”
Sulhee tilted her head at his question.
“What do you mean?”
“Didn’t he say anything about me?”
Eunwoo had been noticeably distant from I-hyun, and Sulhee had asked about it a few times. Eunwoo had never said much, only once calling him “a fox-like person.”
It wasn’t an insult, but relaying that Eunwoo thought of him as ‘fox-like’ seemed inappropriate.
“There was nothing… Just that you were in the same lab. That’s it.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
I-hyun’s eyes scanned Sulhee, as if verifying if it was true.
“Yes, that’s all.”
“All right then…”
An ambiguous, inscrutable smile spread across I-hyun’s face.
“I thought maybe he had told you everything.”
“Told me what?”
“About Eunwoo and me living together in the past?”
“You lived together?”
“Yes. For two whole years.”
They lived together for that long? They should be close, but whenever I-hyun appeared, a cold wind seemed to blow around Eunwoo.
Hearing I-hyun’s words, Sulhee’s surprise seemed to confirm to him that she had indeed heard nothing.
“So it is. I thought Eunwoo told you because he seemed to like you.”
Stepping back at his remark, Sulhee couldn’t hide her startled surprise. Who told him that? It wasn’t something a newcomer should know.
Seeing her wide-eyed reaction, I-hyun continued.
“Be careful with Eunwoo.”
“Careful about what?”
“You don’t match well with people like him. He’s cold and calculating.”
“Cold?”
While strict at work, Eunwoo wasn’t cold. He was a compassionate vet who cared more than anyone else.
“Cold? He’s also cunning. You’ll find he has a lot hidden from you. I’m not sure if there’s a woman out there who’s a good match for him.”
Turning her gaze towards Eunwoo, she saw him packing up. Their eyes met across the distance. His gaze was warm, not cold, colliding with hers in the air.
“Feeling full.”
Evening time. After a hearty meal sponsored by the director, Sulhee walked outside.
It was her first visit to the director’s villa in Yangpyeong since she had become an adult, though she had been there as a child. In front of the small detached house, a walking path stretched towards the riverbank in the distance.
Perhaps it was the overeating, but she felt breathless.
“Maybe I should take a walk.”
As she slowly proceeded, she noticed a man walking about 10 meters ahead of her. Even a quick glance was enough to recognize him.
“Dr. Eunwoo…”
The man turned around at her faint call. They hadn’t exchanged a single word all day. The awkwardness had prevented her from approaching him, and now, he slightly furrowed his brows.
Should she avoid him? The path was a one-way route. Deciding it was better not to avoid him, she walked up to his side, acting as if nothing had happened.
“Didn’t you have much dinner, Dr. Eunwoo? Are you okay?”
“I ate enough.”
“That’s good to hear. You seemed a bit upset.”
At her comment, Eunwoo twisted his eyebrows.
“If it’s nothing, I’m glad. I didn’t mean to be nosy.”
“No.”
He brushed his hair back. His dark eyes, which they hadn’t properly met all day, sparkled.
“Actually.”
“…….”
“I’m not okay.”
Eunwoo murmured in a low voice. With each step closer, he spoke to her.
“I said I was okay, but I’m not.”
“…….”
“I thought jealousy was childish, but…”
Raising his arm, Eunwoo reached towards Sulhee’s cheek. His fingers aimed for the cheek touched by I-hyun, but stopped short, creating a tense atmosphere.
“I’m jealous, Sulhee.”
“…….”
“Even though I know I shouldn’t be, when it comes to you…”
Though he hadn’t touched her, the nearness of his skin made her feel a burning warmth.
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…?
