Upon seeing Hyun Woo frowning, Sori immediately swallowed back the words she was about to utter.
Her hands, which had been fidgeting with the lunch box, found no comfort and scratched at the back of her neck.
“Why, don’t you want to eat?”
“No, that’s not it.”
The truth was, it was too much for her to eat alone, but it seemed too little to share with her NS colleagues.
So.
“Did you have breakfast, professor?”
She shouldn’t keep doing this… but Sori unknowingly kept crossing the line.
He calmly took his hands off the keyboard and leaned back in his chair.
She asked boldly, then her brown eyes shook back and forth. It was a regretful expression for having said something unnecessary.
‘Sori, you’re afraid of oppa, aren’t you? You’ve always trembled when you see him, and you can’t speak well. Your face turns red.’
Suddenly, Jiwoo’s voice brushed past her mind.
“Go sit over there.”
He stood up from his seat, took a bottle of water, and handed it to her.
“Thank you.”
He asked casually as he sat down on the sofa.
“How’s your health.”
“I’m fine.”
Pretending to be lively seemed to be Sori’s forte. The more awkward the situation, the more talkative she became, she had recently discovered.
Hyun Woo sat at his desk, while Sori was on the communal sofa. The two sat at a right angle in the back of the lab.
Sori spread the lunch box neatly on the table.
She placed the cutlery, which had been packed together, in front of Hyun Woo and let out a heehee laugh.
It was a laugh that came out because she didn’t know what else to do due to the awkwardness.
“It looks really delicious. I’ll enjoy it. Professor, please eat a lot too.”
Since Hyun Woo was just watching, Sori was also just watching him.
She had thought that the excessive politeness Sori showed to me from the past was a bit uncomfortable.
But since she was not usually conscious of others, she hadn’t paid much attention to it…
Now, for some reason, she felt she needed to be a bit more careful.
After briefly glancing at the lunch box, Hyun Woo picked up his chopsticks without a word and put a piece of kimbap into his mouth.
In fact, he had no intention of eating because he had already had a simple breakfast, but he thought he could at least pretend to eat a few pieces.
Then Sori finally moved her chopsticks.
The outofplace silent meal continued.
Sori, who had been chewing on a sausage, sneakily glanced at him once, then this time, picked up a piece of blanched broccoli and put it in her mouth.
“You should eat it all anyway.”
It was a suggestion that she should eat without minding him since the lunch box was all hers.
“Yes.”
But in truth, Sori couldn’t taste anything.
The kindness and consideration he showed made her happy and delighted to the point of tears, but she couldn’t deceive him any longer.
So, now was the perfect opportunity to tell the truth.
As she was timing her confession and continuously watching him, then.
Hyun Woo put down his chopsticks and checked his email on his phone.
Sori also carefully set down her chopsticks.
“Professor. I have something to tell you.”
“Eat more.”
“No, I’d like to speak first.”
He raised and then lowered his eyebrows at her persistence, and he flipped his phone over, thumping it onto the table.
Sori clenched her fists tightly.
“Professor. I don’t have leukemia.”
“…..”
Lines slowly formed on his forehead as he stared at her directly.
“I was drunk and spouting nonsense.”
She couldn’t bring herself to say that such a ridiculous mistake had occurred at Seo Han Hospital, where his father is the director.
It might also put Park Ji Woong, a fellow aiming for a professorship, in a bind.
“So, I kept wanting to tell you that it wasn’t true, but I was ashamed and embarrassed… I overdid it.”
Was he angry? Sori continued to gauge his mood.
She was kissed while drunk, fooled by a lie, and even proposed to, so it was understandable if he was angry.
Every other day, she was the person causing Seo Hyun Woo’s anger.
He let out a barely audible sigh and looked at Sori with a slanted gaze.
Sori wished she could hide in a mouse hole.
“I don’t know why I did that… I apologize again.”
“Yu Sori.”
“….Yes.”
He called her in a low voice.
Next, his quiet and cold gaze fell on Sori.
With a nod, he said,
“That won’t work on me.”
And,
In his eyes, it was as if he understood her desire not to believe it.
But it’s really not.
Hyun Woo’s expressionless face was so cold that for a moment, Sori’s mind went blank.
So, does him saying it won’t work now mean he can’t trust me?
It was somewhat understandable that he wouldn’t trust her since she had lied to him several times unintentionally.
In short, she had become the boy who cried wolf to him.
“Professor, really, I…”
“Shh. Quiet.”
He raised a finger and put it to his lips. It meant to shut up if she was going to spout nonsense.
No matter what she said in this situation, it seemed he wouldn’t believe her.
Looking at Hyun Woo’s face, unsure if he would even believe if she showed him a blood test result, Sori lost what to say and her eyes blinked rapidly.
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…?
