Their first date went incredibly smoothly. It was an enjoyable time, free from any dull moments, simply because she was with Min Hyuk.
Leaving the café, they headed to a Japanese restaurant he had reserved. Just a few steps from the restaurant, they could reach the beach.
After dining in her preferred room, they walked along the beach, feeling a deep sense of fulfillment.
It felt like an utterly ordinary day for a couple. Oh right, they were indeed a real couple.
Even though they had already done everything, the reality still felt strangely new to her.
It was another realization that they weren’t together due to an unwanted marriage.
“Min Hyuk.”
“Hmm?”
Da Hyun smiled at his gentle low voice.
“If I had known dates were this nice, I would have started sooner.”
While gazing at the gently crashing waves, Da Hyun shifted her gaze to Min Hyuk and murmured softly.
“For me, every day with you, date or not, is wonderful.”
“Huh?”
“You don’t think so?”
His casually thrown question suddenly colored Da Hyun’s eyes with bewilderment. Her steps halted.
Matching her pace, Min Hyuk also stopped to look at her. His lips drooped in an exaggerated pout.
Seeing him deliberately showing his upset face, she couldn’t help but laugh.
“I’m upset. To me, every moment with you feels like a dream, something to be grateful for.”
“That’s quite an exaggeration…”
“It’s not an exaggeration; it’s the truth.”
Apparently displeased with being accused of exaggerating, his brows twitched slightly.
Why is he making such a fuss? It made her feel guilty for saying it.
“Well, of course, I, I do too.”
“Why are you stammering?”
“It’s embarrassing to say.”
Watching her ears turn red, he chuckled softly.
“Where did the bold Han Da Hyun who declared today as Day 1 disappear to?”
“She must have vanished in embarrassment.”
Really, what was I thinking when I said that?
“It shouldn’t disappear.”
“What shouldn’t?”
“I want to see that bold side of you again.”
Da Hyun let out a laugh. Was she supposed to be thankful for him cherishing what was practically a dark history for her or ask him to forget it?
“When will you show that boldness again?”
“I don’t know.”
“Well, it wouldn’t be fun if you told me in advance.”
He smiled softly, as if reminiscing. Da Hyun started walking again, and Min Hyuk, pausing for a moment, followed suit, matching her pace.
It was peaceful.
Their ordinary days continued, peaceful to the point of wondering if it was alright to be this tranquil, except for the interruption by Su Cheol.
Being with him, Da Hyun found it hard to believe that couples fought. Since they started dating, they had never even raised their voices at each other.
And thinking about it, he had naturally adjusted his pace to match hers.
He was adapting everything to her without being asked.
From one to ten, without her prompting, he took the initiative to adjust himself to her.
Da Hyun was grateful. Min Hyuk had arranged everything for their date. All she did was follow him around.
Feeling a bit guilty for just receiving his kindness, Da Hyun brushed her neck with her hand.
“Min Hyuk.”
“Hmm?”
“I want to plan our next date.”
She spoke firmly, feeling it was unfair to keep receiving without giving back.
“That’s not necessary, you don’t have to……”
“No, I really want to do it.”
“Alright. You can prepare for the next one. I’ll look forward to it.”
Min Hyuk, who seemed to enjoy even the planning part of their dates, stopped himself from saying it was unnecessary after seeing her determined expression.
“You don’t have to expect too much. Isn’t this too much pressure?”
“That’s why I said it.”
His voice, brimming with joy, made Da Hyun smile. She realized only today that simply walking together could be exciting and fun.
She thought it would be boring, but surprisingly it wasn’t. Talking and walking, they had come quite far from the parking lot.
“Shall we head back to Seoul now?”
“Yes, let’s go back.”
There was a time, she couldn’t remember when, that she had wished to walk alongside someone she liked, without a care in the world.
“Can we hold hands on the way back?”
“Of course.”
He extended his hand. Da Hyun looked at it and nodded.
Without hesitation, she firmly grabbed his offered hand. The mere act of walking side by side had been enough for her, and she hadn’t even thought of holding hands.
His face beamed with satisfaction, hand in hand.
Da Hyun suddenly felt it miraculous that Min Hyuk liked her.
An unexplainable sense of alienation lingered.
Every time she faced his smile, she occasionally felt this alienation.
But Da Hyun didn’t mind. It was a fleeting sensation that would soon disappear.
The feeling never lasted, appearing briefly before vanishing.
Dismissing it as trivial, Da Hyun turned to retrace the steps they had taken together.
When they arrived in Seoul, the sun had already set.
Crossing the yard to her house, Da Hyun sneaked a glance at Min Hyuk.
The more time she spent with him, the more she realized how considerate and respectful he was towards her.
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…?
