A Relentless Senior (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 10
The second assignment date came around again.
Unlike the first time, which had been on a weekend, they’d chosen a weekday.
Friday, 3:30 p.m.
Sa Rang had just come home after class and pulled a book from her bag.
She still had 3 hour left until her meeting with Do Han.
“Maybe I should’ve suggested we meet tomorrow instead.”
When she’d heard from Hye Ri that Do Han and Hye Ri were very close, she’d tried to suppress her feelings for him.
That was precisely why she’d scheduled this second dating assignment for a weekday afternoon—
she thought it would be better to meet briefly after class rather than spend the entire day together on a weekend.
But feelings weren’t paper; they couldn’t be folded away so easily. In fact, as time passed, her feelings only bloomed more fully.
They filled her chest so completely that they kept spilling out uncontrollably—more than once, to her embarrassment.
Every day, she warned herself: “Not yet. If I confess now, I’ll ruin even the good senior-junior relationship we’ve managed to keep.”
“Let’s return safely again today.”
Standing before the mirror with her lighter bag, she tensed her eyes firmly.
She even glared at her tightly closed lips, as if scolding them not to dare think about confessing.
Last time, heading out for the assignment, she’d worn a dress and dressed up meticulously—but today, she wore her usual jeans.
She briefly considered changing clothes, but shook her head and left the house as she was.
When she reached the school’s main gate, Do Han was already there waiting.
“You came early?”
Since his class ended at 3:50, she’d assumed he’d be late—his presence surprised her.
“My class was canceled.”
“So you went home and came back?”
“No.”
Walking side by side toward the subway station, Sa Rang turned her head toward Do Han.
She was curious—where had he spent his time?
“I just waited.”
“For me? Right here at the main gate? The whole time since then?”
Faced with her barrage of breathless questions, Do Han chuckled softly and nodded.
His class had been unexpectedly canceled, leaving him nowhere particular to go.
Going home and coming back felt like a hassle; heading to a café seemed too bothersome.
So he’d simply walked to the main gate and waited for her on a bench.
He passed the time listening to music and reading articles on his phone—before he knew it, their meeting time had arrived.
This was the first time Do Han had ever waited so long for someone.
He’d expected it to feel boring, but surprisingly, it hadn’t been unpleasant at all.
Whenever he peeked out to see if Sa Rang had arrived yet, he’d felt a slight flutter of nerves.
He even found himself amused by how he kept wondering about trivial things—what she’d wear, how she’d style her hair.
Remembering how dressed up she’d been on their first date, he’d assumed she’d do the same today.
So Do Han had put in some effort himself this time.
Of course, “effort” still meant just jeans and a T-shirt—but he’d chosen the best outfit from his wardrobe.
Yet Sa Rang had actually come in comfortable, casual clothes.
She’d looked lovely in a dress, but this simple, neat look suited her even better.
“Then you should’ve just called me. I could’ve come right after class.”
Sa Rang looked apologetic upon learning Do Han had been waiting over an hour.
She felt it was her fault for suggesting a Friday meeting.
“You can’t go in too early—it’s an evening opening.”
He was right.
She’d suggested meeting in the afternoon specifically to keep things brief, yet she’d already forgotten that.
Seeing his face now made her so happy and glad that she instantly regretted not suggesting they meet on the weekend instead.
He’d always looked handsome whenever she saw him, but today he seemed even more so.
She couldn’t quite pinpoint what was different—but something certainly was.
What business did she have trying to suppress her feelings over something like this?
Sa Rang decided she probably just needed more time.
After taking the subway and a bus, they arrived at the amusement park just as the sun was setting.
“Let’s start with dinner.”
“Okay.”
The two entered a nearby restaurant and ordered burgers.
Sa Rang unwrapped hers and was startled by how large it actually was.
She’d just realized burgers and romantic dates didn’t exactly go hand in hand.
Her dream of looking graceful while eating was already ruined.
No matter how she turned it, she’d clearly need to open her mouth wide to take a bite.
Sighing, she resigned herself and took a big bite.
She was hungry, and once she started, it tasted so good she forgot Do Han was even sitting across from her, eagerly eating away.
When she finally looked up after finishing, she noticed he was staring right at her.
Startled, she mumbled around a mouthful of burger,
“Why are you looking like that?”
“You eat well.”
He handed her a napkin.
“I was debating whether to order you another one.”
Though he meant “you eat so heartily that it’s nice to watch,” it sounded to her like he was teasing her.
Sa Rang took the napkin, wiped her mouth, and took a sip of her drink.
She thought back—when had this man ever seen her as pretty? She might as well just fill her stomach thoroughly.
Sa Rang waited patiently as Do Han, who’d been too busy watching her to finish his own meal, continued eating.
She hadn’t realized it while eating, but now they both fell silent.
Feeling the need to say something, she searched for a suitable topic.
“Have you ever been to the sports college cafeteria?”
“No.”
“The food there is really good. You should go sometime.”
Because they were eating dinner, she suddenly remembered her recent visit to that cafeteria.
She’d genuinely enjoyed it enough to recommend it—but for some reason, Do Han’s expression soured.
“So you’ve been there.”
“Yes, a few days ago.”
“Alone?”
“No. With Ji Woo and another friend.”
“Jung Yoon Jae?”
“How do you know Yoon Jae, sunbae?”
“You mentioned it before—when you four had dinner together in Engineering: Tae Hoon, Kang Ji Woo, and him.”
“Oh, wow, you’ve got a great memory. You even remembered his name.”
Sa Rang was amazed he recalled Yoon Jae’s name.
Even Do Han himself was surprised he knew it.
Jung Yoon Jae, Department of Physical Education.
He’d seen him with Sa Rang several times and even remembered his face.
Tae Hoon had once remarked how well they suited each other.
After finishing his burger, Do Han wiped his mouth with a napkin and spoke casually,
“You seem pretty close now—eating meals together and all.”
“Well, yeah…”
“So… does he have a girlfriend? You’d have asked by now, right?”
He lowered his gaze and took a sip of his drink.
Feeling he’d said something awkward, he couldn’t bring himself to look at Sa Rang.
When she didn’t reply, Do Han finally glanced up, straw still clamped between his lips.
“Do you… like Yoon Jae?”
“What?”
Do Han choked on his drink and coughed loudly.
His expression turned fierce, as if asking, “What kind of nonsense is that?”
“Well, you remembering Yoon Jae’s name like that—and constantly asking if he has a girlfriend—it’s suspicious.”
Seeing Do Han’s dumbfounded silence confirmed it for her: that wasn’t it at all.
Relieved, Sa Rang finally answered his earlier question,
“He doesn’t have a girlfriend.”
“But you said you weren’t curious before.”
“Ji Woo asked him.”
“Why would a girl who already has a boyfriend ask that?”
“She said he’d be a good match for me.”
Do Han was speechless.
People really did see things the same way—
whether it was him, Tae Hoon, or Ji Woo—they’d all looked at Sa Rang and Yoon Jae and thought alike.
Annoyed, his expression darkened—just then, his phone vibrated.
It was a call from Hye Ri.
Do Han glanced at her name briefly before pressing the answer button.
“What.”
Hearing his cold tone, Sa Rang lifted her eyes to look at him.
Curious who’d warrant such a brusque response, she heard a woman’s voice from the other end:
“Oppa, are you at Engineering right now?”
“No.”
“Then the library?”
“Outside campus.”
“Ah, okay. What time will you be back?”
“Late.”
Sa Rang recognized it was Hye Ri from the voice alone.
After all, hadn’t he once said she was the only female junior whose number he had?
Pushing aside her bitter feelings, she listened as their call continued.
“What’s up?”
“I was drinking with friends when my dad called. He said to take your car home.”
When Do Han didn’t immediately respond, Hye Ri spoke again:
“If you’re not on campus, never mind. I’ll take a taxi. I’ll just tell him you dropped me off—don’t worry about it.”
“Alright. Got it.”
After ending the call, his expression was so gloomy that Sa Rang hesitated to speak.
But her curiosity wouldn’t let her stay quiet.
“Was that the same noona I saw outside your house last time?”
Do Han nodded quietly, prompting Sa Rang to change her question.
“Do you… like that noona?”
Do Han had been preoccupied with the thought that if Kyung Chul found out he hadn’t given Hye Ri a ride home, there’d be trouble—so Sa Rang’s unexpected question caught him off guard.
She looked like a child deprived of candy, her face filled with clear disappointment.
“No.”
Sa Rang, who’d been anxiously awaiting his answer, instantly brightened.
Emboldened by his denial, she gathered her courage and spoke again.
“Can I ask… what your relationship is?”
“You’ve already asked—and now you’re asking again?”
Do Han stared at Sa Rang, who looked flustered.
After a brief pause, he answered frankly,
“She’s my younger sister.”
Sa Rang’s eyes widened in shock.
Since Hye Ri had described their relationship as “very close,” Sa Rang had assumed they might have dated.
Or maybe, as Ji Woo had hinted, they’d been intimate—but she’d been wrong on all counts.
“A biological sister?”
Ji Do Han, Park Hye Ri.
Different surnames meant they couldn’t be full siblings—perhaps they had different fathers?
Sa Rang wanted to understand exactly how they were related.
“My father remarried. Hye Ri is my stepmother’s daughter—so to me, she’s my younger sister.”
Do Han cleared up her confusion completely.
It was something he’d never told anyone—but the words came out easily.
He didn’t want Sa Rang, of all people, to misunderstand unnecessarily.
“But even Tae Hoon oppa didn’t seem to know.”
Sa Rang was bewildered.
Even Tae Hoon, Do Han’s closest friend, only knew Hye Ri as Do Han’s acquaintance’s younger sister—so this revelation left her even more stunned.
“I felt it was okay to tell you.”
“…Why?”
Sa Rang asked with curious eyes—why would he share a secret no one else knew with her alone?
But his reply made her heart plummet.
“Because I trust you.”
That single short phrase froze her completely in place.
“You wouldn’t go around talking about it, would you?”
Leaving Sa Rang, who’d even forgotten to blink, he stood up abruptly.
“If you’re done eating, let’s go.”
As Do Han walked off, Sa Rang finally snapped out of her daze and quickly followed him.
Her mind was tangled, her thoughts scattered.
Yet her heart—why did it insist on pounding so uselessly in her chest?
Outside, it had already grown dark.
Lights illuminated the quaint buildings and rides, adding charm to the night.
It was the perfect atmosphere for couples.
Sa Rang especially liked the path lined entirely with tulips.
The densely packed garden—filled with yellow, red, purple, and countless other colors—anchored her feet in place.
She had to take pictures.
Hastily pulling out her phone, she snapped photos everywhere.
She desperately wanted to photograph Do Han again—but after the last incident, she’d learned the hard way that keeping his photos was dangerous, so she stopped herself.
Instead, she successfully convinced him to take a joint photo under the pretext of needing it for her assignment report.
After watching the parade, they moved to a spot with a view of the fireworks.
Sa Rang didn’t register a single dazzling spectacle of the nighttime parade or the sparkling fireworks embroidered across the dark sky.
Her eyes saw only Do Han.
While he watched the parade and fireworks, she focused her gaze solely on him.
“Sunbae.”
Hypnotized by the glow of Ji Do Han, she called out to him.
Do Han, watching fireworks burst and scatter across the sky with a loud *pop*, lowered his head at the sound of her voice.
Sa Rang thought she should clamp her mouth shut right now.
She warned herself repeatedly—not to do it, because she’d surely regret it later.
But her overflowing feelings spilled out as a confession anyway.
“I like you, oppa.”
Perhaps the reason such words escape even when you know they’ll be rejected is because they’ve circled your lips hundreds, thousands of times before.
Hearing Hye Ri and Do Han were “very close” had made Sa Rang try to back away—but now she had no reason left to hesitate.
If they were simply family, then she wanted him for herself.
She couldn’t hold back anymore.
She couldn’t bear the weight of her growing feelings any longer.
If she didn’t confess, her chest felt like it would burst.
So, for her own survival, she finally said those words: that she liked him.
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…?
