Do Sik admonished her, but his words also struck a heavy blow, prompting Sarang to lower her head.
She already acknowledged her mistake.
“If there’s a mistake, just teach him. I can’t tolerate loud voices in the office for any reason.”
“Yes, I was wrong, Mr. Do Sik.”
Regardless of position, Do Han was six years her senior.
Scolding a colleague like that in front of others could cause disapproval among team members.
That’s why Do Sik deliberately reprimanded her in this setting.
It was a sign that she had been reprimanded and regretted her actions, indicating that this matter should not be discussed further.
With a nod indicating it was enough, Do Sik left the spot.
“I’ll resend the email.”
Do Han checked the sent email and attached the missing document before resending it to the General Affairs Team.
He had a restless night, haunted by a dream where Sarang repeated the words she said on the day she removed her bandages.
‘I know Do Han as someone who kisses anyone. He gets rid of them when he’s bored.’
He wanted to say it wasn’t true, but felt as if someone was choking him, leaving him unable to speak.
Tossing and turning, he woke up at dawn and couldn’t sleep anymore.
Feeling groggy since morning, he ended up making a mistake at work.
If there was an excuse, that was it.
After confirming the reply email, Do Han turned to look at Sarang.
The original Korean paragraph consists of 32 lines. Here is the verbatim English translation with the same number of lines:
Sarang felt guilty for causing Do Sik to scold Do Han because of her.
She didn’t join the company to trouble him, but she couldn’t understand why these incidents kept occurring.
“Congratulations on your hand’s full recovery, Ms. Sarang.”
That evening, a month after Do Han’s welcoming party, at the first team dinner since then, Na Young filled Sarang’s empty glass.
It was a reward for her junior colleague who couldn’t drink for a while.
“I was worried about scarring, but I’m glad it turned out fine.”
“Yes, it’s not noticeable anymore.”
Sarang smiled, looking at her once-red hand now returned to its natural color.
She had neglected the burn care, and it healed on its own.
“The café staff were so sorry whenever they saw you, Ms. Sarang.”
“I haven’t been there often, but now that it’s healed, I plan to go. To show them it’s okay.”
“The employee is lucky. They met someone as kind as you, Ms. Sarang. Otherwise, if it were me, I would have made a scene right there.”
Sarang chuckled and glanced at Do Han sitting across her.
She remembered how flustered he had been that day.
She couldn’t tell which face of Do Han was real.
Having experienced his sudden shift from utmost kindness to coldness.
“Anyway, let’s drink plenty tonight. To celebrate your recovery.”
“Yes, I’ve been waiting for today.”
“Great, then let’s go for it.”
Sarang, already in a bad mood, resolved to drink heavily.
The alcohol tasted sweeter than usual.
Maybe it was because she had let out her frustrations on Do Han during the day, or perhaps her conscience made it taste sweeter.
Regardless, she kept drinking without pause.
“Thank you for everything, Mr. Oh.”
Feeling tipsy quickly due to her fast drinking, Sarang bowed deeply to Na Young.
“What’s this? You’re acting like you’re about to quit.”
“Just wanted to say thank you. I’ve really enjoyed working here because of you.”
“What’s going on, Ms. Sarang? Did you submit a resume somewhere?”
Na Young frowned, watching Sarang laugh with slurred speech.
She had a foreboding feeling, recalling a coworker who quit after a year.
“I’m truly grateful for guiding me, despite my shortcomings. I won’t forget this kindness.”
Other team members joined in their conversation, intrigued by Sarang’s words.
“Ms. Sarang, are you upset because of what the team leader said today?”
“If quitting was the solution, none of us would still be here. Drink and forget about it.”
“Right. If Mr. Ji had been a newbie, it would have been easier for you, Ms. Sarang. But that’s life.”
Receiving and drinking more alcohol, Sarang’s face reddened further.
“It’s not like that. The team leader is right, and I was wrong today to scold Mr. Ji. I’ll apologize to him here.”
Sarang bowed to Do Han.
She genuinely regretted behaving childishly, unable to control her emotions.
She thought she was past her freshman days, but she still felt stuck at twenty.
Do Han watched her intently, feeling uncomfortable accepting her apology when he was the one who felt sorry.
“Enough, enough. Let’s just drink now.”
The paragraph captures a scene of professional and personal conflict, regret, and the effort to reconcile emotions in a workplace setting.
The original Korean paragraph consists of 35 lines. Here is the verbatim English translation with the same number of lines:
After returning from her business trip, Na Young heard about the incident and stood by Sarang’s side.
After all, since Sarang was Do Han’s mentor, it was only natural for her to correct his mistakes.
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…?
