“Just more nonsense.”
In truth, there wasn’t much more to say. Yugeon had appeared right as their conversation began, so whatever he heard was the entirety of their interaction. There was nothing new; Sejin had always been talking nonsense.
“I should have gotten rid of that guy.”
Yugeon ground his teeth, and Yura tried to calm him down.
“Once this performance is over, there’ll be no more dealing with him.”
“If anything happens, tell me, okay?”
Smiling softly at Yugeon’s repeated concern, Yura nodded.
“Okay, okay. I should head back now. You go too, brother.”
“Alright, take care.”
Yura waved at Yugeon and turned to leave.
Rushing back to the company as if escaping, her face flushed. The encounter with Sejin and Yugeon had brought back memories of the kiss with Ihyeon, which had momentarily slipped her mind.
After Ihyeon’s brief visit, Yura found it hard to focus on her work.
Surprised by the completely different side of Baek Ihyeon or maybe the sudden kiss, her heart raced unusually. The kiss, thrilling and dizzying, was a first for Yura. The heat in her body seemed to concentrate somewhere, and her hands felt awkward, making her feel foolishly naive like a teenage girl.
It wasn’t Yura’s first kiss, but she couldn’t understand why it felt so different with Baek Ihyeon. The reason eluded her, leaving her heart feeling tight.
Just when she thought she was okay, the awkward moment with Ihyeon vividly resurfaced in front of Yugeon, making her feel as if she had done something wrong.
As she turned to leave, the moment became even clearer, and her heart started racing again.
Something seemed terribly wrong.
On the day of the wedding.
Yura gazed down at the bouquet of snowdrop flowers, symbols of innocence, that had been flown in from overseas.
So exhausted that she couldn’t even smell the flowers, her eyes were unfocused as she looked at the bouquet. She felt the urge to rub her dry eyes when the door to the bridal waiting room opened, and her team members peeked in one by one.
“Gosh, Manager Yura! You’re so pretty.”
“Thank you, Ji-hye.”
Yura smiled awkwardly at Ji-hye’s exuberant exclamation.
“I knew you were beautiful, but seeing you like this really brings out your beauty.”
“You’re the most beautiful bride I’ve ever seen.”
Feeling shy from her team members’ compliments, Yura playfully rolled her eyes at them.
“Are you all exaggerating a bit?”
“Hey, we’re not the type to make empty compliments.”
Embarrassed by their praises, Yura blushed. Although she was used to hearing compliments about her beauty, today they felt especially intense.
“Wow, I still can’t believe it. Manager Yura getting married to Vice President Baek.”
“I can’t believe that Manager Yura is actually the second child of the Jinwha Group.”
Yura hadn’t expected her family background to become more of an issue than her marriage. She would have told the truth if any team member had asked, but since no one did, she didn’t feel the need to bring it up herself.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about my family earlier.”
Trying to comfort her slightly disappointed team members, Yura smiled gently.
“No, it’s much better than those who go around boasting about who their father is.”
“Exactly.”
Yura was grateful to her colleagues for not prying into why she kept it a secret.
She didn’t want to lie, but she also didn’t want to harshly separate her personal and professional life, so she had been quite worried. Although she felt relieved now, she still felt sorry.
“I’m sorry for getting married at such a busy time.”
“If we thought like that, we’d never get married. We’re always busy in this field.”
“Thank you, Manager Jeong. And everyone else.”
Amid the warm atmosphere, the photo session continued. They took various photos together, sharing small stories. Then, a soft knock on the door announced Ihyeon’s entrance.
“Excuse me.”
The team members immediately froze as if they had turned to ice. A heavy silence filled the room until Manager Jeong mustered up the courage to speak.
“Hello?”
“I’ll arrange a dinner for all of us soon.”
“No, don’t worry about it. Please, continue your conversation.”
The hesitant team members followed Manager Jeong out of the bridal waiting room. Yura watched as Ihyeon bowed politely to them.
Though Ihyeon usually had a cold demeanor, when he smiled softly like this, he looked as beautiful as a sculpture. But people hesitated to approach him because of his status and his usually icy demeanor. Yura felt it was a pity that he didn’t show this human side more often.
Alone in the bridal waiting room with Ihyeon.
Just thinking about him brought back memories of the kiss, leaving Yura flustered.
Alone in the bridal waiting room with just the two of them.
Whenever Yura thought of Ihyeon, the memory of their kiss left her feeling perplexed.
But now, alone with him in this confined space, her body seemed to tense up involuntarily. Yura tried hard to fill her mind with thoughts of work, trying not to dwell on that memory.
She went over the videos she had watched tirelessly and the contracts and proposals she had scrutinized for days and nights. Then Ihyeon’s voice brushed past her ears.
“Are you nervous?”
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…?
