On the other hand, the original art team was larger. The original artist, Do Young, was in the center, with several assistants dealing with the backgrounds, color, characters, and separate illustrators for the promotional teaser.
Se Ah was surprised by the number of people mobilized to create a single mobile game. She was even more surprised to learn that this game wasn’t even one that required a particularly large workforce.
The round table was filled with snacks. With everyone nibbling on bread and sipping juice, the atmosphere was so relaxed that one might forget they were in a meeting.
Originally, they planned to create twelve characters, but they decided to add one more. The story for the additional character would be written by Se Ah, and the illustration would be taken care of by Do Young.
“But won’t it be too much for you to take on an additional character, Artist Do Young?” One of the assistant original artists asked with an apologetic expression.
“No matter how busy I am, it’s not like the writers will do it. It’s okay.”
“As expected, our Artist Do Young is not only handsome but also kindhearted.”
Everyone in the original art team praised Do Young. Whether it was before or now, Do Young seemed popular with women. Se Ah, who was observing, smiled quietly.
“Do you have a boyfriend, Writer Se Ah?”
“Why wouldn’t she have one? She’s pretty and young. I’m sure she had many suitors, right?”
At her colleagues’ pure curiosity and praise, Se Ah looked slightly embarrassed.
“That’s right. Do you have a boyfriend, Writer Se Ah?”
Do Young, who had been quiet, chimed in and asked. Se Ah felt betrayed by Do Young, who fanned the flames of enthusiastic interest.
“If you don’t want to tell us, you don’t have to.”
At Do Young’s consecutive words, Se Ah hesitated and then looked around. The eyes full of youthful curiosity made her laugh softly.
“… I do have someone I like.”
“Oh my, oh my! What should we do. Who’s that lucky guy?”
Among the people who were happy for her, only Do Young did not smile. He looked nervous, glancing at Se Ah.
“Well. It means you’re not dating. Anyway.”
You’re not dating… but you’re married. Se Ah avoided their gaze as she replied in her heart.
Everyone saw me as unmarried since I was only twentyfive. No one had asked whether I was married or not yet.
Even if they asked, it would be uncomfortable to reveal that I was married under the current circumstances. They’d wonder why there are no photos of my husband on my chat profile, and I’d have to lie about his occupation and age. The mere thought gave me a headache.
“Did you see the notice about the company dinner? It’s divided this time. The writers are separate.”
“That’s good. It feels a bit difficult to mix. Is it the difference between regular employees and freelancers?”
“That’s right. It’s not discrimination, but it does feel that way. Anyway, they said we could decide on the location ourselves. Would you like to decide, Writer Se Ah? In honor of your joining the company.”
The conversation between colleagues suddenly turned and they handed over a major decision to Se Ah.
“Me? I’ve never done anything like that… if it’s not good…”
“Oh, we’re not like that!”
“Se Ah, we’re not trying to be a bother! Honestly, whenever there’s a company dinner, we agree to decide on the place together. No BBQ places or fish restaurants like other companies! Anywhere you want to go is fine, even lunch.”
“Really?”
At their words, Se Ah gained courage.
In fact, she had not often raised her voice out of consideration for others. But being asked to decide for the first time, it wasn’t unwelcome.
“I think it would be better in the evening, though. No pressure.”
While gathering his tablet and workbook, Do Young looked at Se Ah.
“Then shall we do it Friday evening? Is it okay since it’s the weekend?”
“Okay, Writer Se Ah, let’s do that! Whatever Writer Se Ah likes, we all like.”
The feeling was more like older sisters or seniors than colleagues, perhaps due to the age gap. Se Ah’s tense smile loosened at the feeling of being loved by those who had just welcomed her to the company. It was the first time she had felt such affection from sisters since growing up in an orphanage.
“Then I’ll decide and send an email.”
The meeting ended and everyone rose from their seats. The writers all looked at Do Young, who was laughing heartily.
“What brings you joy? Writer Do Young.”
“Just the thought of it is exciting. It’s Friday.”
Se Ah was busy packing her belongings. Her mini notebook, tucked between her gaming books, fell to the floor, drowned in the surrounding commotion.
As Se Ah was about to exit the room, she suddenly remembered something and grabbed one of the writers.
“Should I speak to the representative about the dinner party? I’m not sure.”
“Yes, Writer Se Ah. It’s a courtesy to do so, but the representative will 100% not attend. They have never attended a dinner party.”
“Yes, I understand.”
A silence permeated the empty conference room.
Do Young, the last person left, picked up the notebook that Se Ah had dropped.
((()))((()))((()))
Back in her writing room, Se Ah finished her work. It was 5 pm. She decided to finish work for the day.
She checked her handbag. There was a pouch, a workbook, but her mini notebook was not in sight.
Ah, where did it go?
She thought she would find it in no time, but even after completely opening the zipper and turning everything upside down, she couldn’t find the notebook. It was a mini notebook, but it wasn’t small enough to go unnoticed. Se Ah’s face became contemplative.
She had written all sorts of information in the notebook: family members’ contact numbers, birthdays, etc. If she stored the information only on her phone, there was a chance it could all be deleted. Even if it was oldfashioned compared to storing data in the cloud or a USB, she found the notebook handy.
More importantly… there was a photo of Kang Woo in there. A picture of the two of them, taken on their college graduation day.
She ran back to the small conference room late. She lay down on the floor, scouring under the table in case it was there.
“It was here. I was wondering where I had found it.”
It was Do Young. Se Ah got up from her spot, feeling embarrassed.
“Ah, Mr. Do Young. What can I do for you?”
Do Young was looking at Se Ah from afar when his bag slung over his shoulder rustled. Se Ah’s phone lying on the table vibrated.
Se Ah snatched the phone as soon as she checked the caller ID from the corner of her eye. Her complexion turned pale as she checked the message.
“What’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing. I have something urgent. See you tomorrow.”
Do Young’s eyes widened at Se Ah rushing out. He had no chance to hand her the mini notebook he had taken out of his bag.
Do Young chased after Se Ah belatedly.

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…?
