A few days later.
After visiting Neoul-do, Sori, who had been spending busy days at the hospital for a while, went out for the first time in a long while.
Sori received a late call from Jiwu, and she took a seat and ordered drinks first.
The café was relatively quiet, perhaps because it was a weekday afternoon. Unlike the constant war-like atmosphere of the hospital, the world felt surprisingly peaceful.
Without thinking, Sori looked out the window, where wedding dress shops were abundant.
I wonder when I’ll get to wear something like that. Just as the thought crossed her mind, a familiar voice greeted her.
“Sor~! Sorry, I’m a bit late, huh?”
“No, I arrived just a little while ago.”
“Were you already enjoying something delicious?”
“Yeah. What would you like to drink?”
“Since Manager Oppa isn’t here, I think I’ll have a café mocha with lots of chocolate syrup.”
Since the day they met with Minkook at the hospital, it had been quite a while since they met separately.
“By the way, isn’t Seohyunwoo crazy?”
After ordering coffee, Jiwu suddenly began gossiping about Hyunwoo.
“No, even my busy little brother made time for this, so where is he suddenly disappearing to?”
Originally, Jiwu had suggested treating them to a meal, but when Hyunwoo couldn’t make it due to work, she started complaining.
“How busy can the professor be? Understand me.”
“Hey, are you taking Oppa’s side now?”
“Side? What nonsense. I’m just saying not to be upset. The professor probably wanted to come too.”
“Is that taking sides?”
“Then, do you dislike playing with just the two of us?”
“No? Actually, I prefer that.”
The two, who had been teasing each other as soon as they met, quickly blossomed into a lively conversation. Since it had been a long time since they last met, there was quite a bit of pent-up gossip.
Then, suddenly, Sori remembered something and smacked Jiwu’s arm.
“Ah! Why did you hit me all of a sudden?”
“Why did you say things that shouldn’t be said to the professor?”
“What are you talking about?”
Jiwu looked puzzled.
“You mentioned something about a ‘body conversation’ with the professor.”
“Ah… Oops.”
Sipping on her café mocha, Jiwu laughed mischievously.
“So, why? Is Oppa trying to chat more often?”
“What nonsense. Don’t make it sound like that. The professor probably wanted to.”
“Is that why you’re on Oppa’s side?”
“Are you crazy, Seo Jiwu?”
Jiwu knew a lot about the entertainment industry. Although she occasionally gossiped, the parties involved had no experience.
That’s how their conversation always ended.
“Anyway, stop saying weird things. The professor probably thinks we’re always talking about such gossip.”
When Sori firmly stated this, Jiwu chuckled with a meaningful expression.
“So, did you and Oppa make up?”
“When did we fight? Ask something obvious.”
“But did you see him again that day? You even threw a fit in front of our Oppa.”
“I did see him again. I was just acting up alone.”
“Anyway, I envy you. Having a lover’s quarrel and all.”
Blushing with embarrassment, Sori chewed on her straw and turned her face red.
“But Jiwu, why did you tell me to come to this place? Do you know of a good restaurant around here?”
The place where the two met was a café near the wedding shops in Cheongdam.
“Looking around, there aren’t many restaurants nearby, but there are a lot of wedding dress shops?”
“Let’s have a simple meal nearby and maybe look at dresses?”
“I’m in favor of a simple meal. Dresses, not so much.”
Seeing her immediately expressing a desire to try on wedding dresses, Yoo Sori was indeed Yoo Sori.
“You still haven’t caught on, have you?”
“What do you mean?”
With a peculiar smirk, Jiwu, whose mouth corners slightly dried up, looked at Sori with a meaningful expression.
“Fool. Today, I called you to choose your wedding dress.”
Cough, cough, cough. Sori coughed as strawberry juice went down the wrong way.
“This one is at it again.”
Jiwu casually placed the water glass closer with her hand. After gulping down water, Sori, with a bewildered face, asked,
“Why suddenly choose a dress? It’s so out of the blue. I haven’t prepared anything.”
“I said Mom and I will take care of the preparations.”
“No, Jiwu. I need to manage my body shape a bit and prepare myself emotionally.”
Suddenly, Jiwu put her hand on Sori’s stomach and spoke.
“With no belly at all, what do you have to manage? Let’s leave skincare for later, just before the ceremony. Don’t worry about that. I’ll take care of everything.”
“The wedding date hasn’t been set yet. Why a dress already?”
“The busy two of you will decide the wedding date yourselves. Instead, it’s good to do the wedding photoshoot in advance.”
Jiwu enthusiastically laid out her plan.
“Does the professor know too?”
“No. He probably thinks the three of us are just having a meal. Should I have said something? Maybe he’s ditching surgery or something?”
“I don’t know.”
“Don’t worry too much, Yoo Sori. I’m here.”
“Rather than worry, it’s just so sudden…”
Just then, her phone rang.
[Hyunwoo: Sorry. Another surgery came up.]“Oppa?”
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…?
