She took the white gift box tied with a ribbon onto the vanity. An English logo of a brand she didn’t recognize was written in the middle of the box.
“What is this?”
Without much thought, she untied the beautiful ribbon and opened the box.
Sori’s eyes shook violently as she checked the contents.
“This is…”
It was a nightgown with black lace following the stitching line on a wine color.
Sori, who favored wearing pajamas, looked at the suggestive nightgown as if it was her first time seeing such a thing.
She squinted for a moment, but her curiosity soon piqued. As she picked up the thin shoulder strap with her fingers, the silky nightgown unfolded and fell long.
“Anyway, Jiwoo, you can’t stop it.”
While looking around, Sori brought it up to her shoulder height and held it up against her body.
“Is it okay?”
It seemed like she could hear Jiwoo’s voice saying, ‘Much better than the pajamas with teddy bears and bunny faces all over it!’.
Sori, who laughed quietly to herself, stared at her reflection in the vanity mirror. The redtoned color seemed to suit her face well.
“Can’t you hear me? Come and eat.”
“……!”
The moment her eyes met Hyun Woo’s through the halfopen door, the strength in the hand holding the shoulder strap slackened.
“Come and eat.”
“Ah, yyes.”
Sori hurriedly put the nightgown back in the box. She fumbled to close the lid with her trembling hands, but then.
Crash.
The box tipped over, and its contents fell right under Sori’s feet.
As she looked at the items scattered on the floor, her whole body froze. There was something more in the box besides the nightgown she had just seen.
A set of underwear made of small pieces of cloth.
Is this underwear or just a string?
Several small boxes, smaller than the size of her palm.
Is bubble gum packaged like this nowadays?
Sori, seeing them for the first time in her life, took quite a long time to figure out what these small, shiny boxes were.
My goodness.
Could this possibly be contraceptives?
“You’re so clumsy.”
Sori yelled at Hyun Woo, who seemed to be moving to help her.
“Professor! Ddon’t come! I, I will leave right away!”
Sori, who was hurriedly picking up the items from the floor and putting them back in the box, had very quick hands. Her face was almost like a blazing apple.
Unable to cross the door threshold due to her nearly wailing cry, he spoke.
“Then come to the kitchen.”
“Yyes, I’ll be right there.”
With a laugh, Sori roughly closed the box lid and only left the room after firmly putting the box in a shopping bag.
It felt like something was running down her spine.
“Professor, there’s too much rice.”
Upon her comment that half of the bowl filled with a little more than half is too much, he momentarily furrowed his brows.
“You need to eat that much.”
“Still, just a little bit…….”
But it was better to serve less than watch her suffer from indigestion.
“Leave only as much as you can eat here and take out the rest.”
“Okay.”
After she ate the meal he prepared.
He served a plate of cleaned fruits and a cup of decaffeinated tea.
Sitting opposite each other at the dining table, he watched Sori, who was eating a cherry tomato with a blank expression on his face.
“Professor, aren’t you eating?”
“Just eat without minding me. Don’t force yourself.”
“Okay.”
This time, he spoke indifferently to Sori, who was eating a piece of pineapple picked up with a fork.
“It seems like you don’t eat much normally. It feels like being busy is an excuse.”
“Ah… My mom only eats one meal a day. Since she’s always dieting, I naturally…”
“If your mother knew, she would be very upset.”
“But I eat more than my mom does.”
Due to having a profession where she had to diet her entire life, her mother Suhyang didn’t enjoy eating.
Consequently, she neither had interest nor talent in cooking.
While Sori could do some cooking to substitute for her mother, she naturally adopted the habits of dieting and being a vegetarian.
Thus, her unusually small stomach didn’t feel very hungry even when starved. Even when eating meals, she struggled with large amounts.
On the other hand, the energy she poured into her studies and work was tremendous.
To the extent that it felt brave to endure.
“Looking back at your blood test results. It seems like you need to take better care of your diet.”
“Yes. I will.”
“Just saying.”
“No. I’ll really take care not to worry you.”
Even though he wasn’t particularly convinced, he nodded his head, pushed back his chair, and stood up.
“I’ll be in the study for a bit, eat slowly and call me.”
“Okay.”
After he left the kitchen, Sori took a long breath and relaxed her shoulders.
Finally, she had some leisure to look around the kitchen.
Oddly, all the cupboards and the island workbench were decorated in black. A kitchen where only necessary things were rigidly in their place, without any frivolous accessories.
His character was evident everywhere in the house.
She took a sip of the slightly cooled tea, when the phone on the table vibrated briefly.
It was Jiwoo, who had embarrassed me today.
[Seo Jiwoo: Did you see? Did you see?] [Me: I saw. Really, because of you.] [Seo Jiwoo: Let’s go with speed.] [Me: What on earth are you talking about? Anyway, thanks for the gift. The dressing table was so pretty.] [Seo Jiwoo: I’m curious about the bed. Bro only told me the color of the frame. Show me a picture.]
Ah, I could envision Jiwoo’s sparkling eyes full of curiosity.
Sori left the kitchen, quietly silenced her footsteps, and arrived back in the room.
After taking a full shot of the bed, she softly laid on it. Lying on her side like a shrimp, she sent the photo to Jiwoo.
Reading Jiwoo’s frantic messages, Sori giggled quietly.
“Ah, I need to go to the hospital again……”
Having eaten a meal, fruits, and even tea, her full stomach brought on a wave of laziness.
The cozy bed felt like it was floating on a cloud, causing her heavy eyelids to slowly fall shut.
Having been engrossed in his paper, time had slipped away.
The wall clock in the study pointed to 11 o’clock already.
Rubbing his tired neck, Hyun Woo emerged from the study, tilting his head at the usual quiet.
Had she left?
In the kitchen, the dishes and mug were left untouched.
Feeling a sense of unease, he checked the bathroom first, then headed towards the newly decorated bedroom.
As he flung open the door, he saw Sori, deep in slumber.
“Yo Sori……”
His voice abruptly softened, her light breath was the only sound in the room.
Laying flat on the empty bed without a blanket, her tired small face resting on her hand as a pillow.
Hyun Woo took one step, then another, towards the bed.
Her sleeping face, under his gaze, showed no signs of tension or embarrassment.
Smiling slightly, he took off his cardigan and gently laid it on Sori’s body.
And just as he was about to leave, he hesitated, retracing his steps.

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…?
