Answer the call like you don’t know me. Where are you now?
“I… Uiguk.”
Good.
“What is it?”
Thunk. Without answering Sori’s question, the call unilaterally ended. Sori stared down at the broken phone screen in bewilderment.
Then, the door to the Uiguk quickly opened, and footsteps were heard.
Turning around, Sori saw Hyunwoo standing there, looking at her.
Surprised, Sori hurriedly hid the paper under the pile of documents.
With narrow eyes, he scanned Sori’s face, swaying his head left and right.
Although it was an unpleasant look, Sori could feel the gentle gaze that appeared only when he looked at her.
“Professor…”
Sori belatedly stood up from her chair, neatly arranging her hands and bowing deeply.
Her attitude towards him was neither close nor distant, returning to the way it used to be.
Familiar but unfamiliar, like it was back then.
“You’re becoming shameless day by day. Making me come to find you.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Let’s talk about today’s surgery later. I don’t have time now.”
Come to think of it, he seemed ready to leave, wearing a suit instead of a gown.
“Where are you going?”
“A friend’s father passed away. I think I should go.”
“Yes…”
Rather than being angry, he seemed more concerned that she had to go alone.
“Can’t you come home today?”
“Probably not. I think so. If it’s inconvenient, I might come to the hospital directly tomorrow.”
“Where are you going?”
“Ah, Cheonan.”
“Yes. Drive safely.”
It seemed like he had come to see her before going on a long journey.
She intended to talk today, but was he trying not to give her that opportunity?
She couldn’t smile as brightly as usual, but she tried to lift the downturned corners of her mouth.
Watching this, a glimmer of mischief appeared and disappeared in his eyes.
“You haven’t been sulking all this time because of the morning surgery, have you?”
Sori nodded quietly, but his weary eyes didn’t seem to relax.
“Dinner.”
“I ate.”
“Not lying, right?”
“Really. Gita bought me a hamburger, so we ate together.”
He took a step closer, scrutinizing Sori’s face closely.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen this face. The sulky Yoo Sori face.”
Saying so, he gently encircled Sori’s cheek with both hands.
“What did Kang Sehun say to make a fuss?”
“Nothing.”
While being held by him, Sori raised her head. If there was a fuss with Kang Sehun, it was more likely caused by her.
“Then why?”
“You said you didn’t have time. Please go quickly.”
“It seems like your feet won’t move easily.”
As if he needed to know the reason, he persistently stared into Sori’s eyes.
“Did I upset you by telling you to leave?”
Sori just nodded her head again.
But why was he looking at her with a gaze that seemed to say she was more miserable than scolding her?
“You won’t tell me the reason till the end.”
After exhaling into the air, he looked at Sori again. Then, he lightly pressed his lips against hers.
It was a somewhat risky act for the hospital setting.
Sori’s surprised eyes belatedly noticed the door.
Hyunwoo, who understood the situation, chuckled and pressed his lips against hers once more.
“I hope we got caught this time. My insides are about to burst because of you, lately.”
“……”
Sori felt conflicted for a moment.
Should she just be honest with him and let him handle it?
It was a selfish thought, but suddenly, she wanted to pour everything out to him.
“Professor, I have something to say.”
“Something to say? What is it?”
“What should I say…?”
Should she confess her troubles to someone who had a long way to go?
Really, would that be okay?
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…?
