“Ah, you surprised me.”
At Jun’s voice once, and again when I saw the clothes Jun was wearing.
Jun was wearing a navy hoodie with a design similar to the white hoodie I had on. Usually, Jun wore suits. Unlike that, Jun in casual attire gave off a fresher, more youthful vibe. So, he looked more similar to the 20-year-old Jun from nine years ago.
The one I fell for. The one I fell deeply in love with.
“I’m not surprised; I’m angry.”
Jun’s face, staring at me with a sharp gaze, twisted cunningly. I also responded with a defiant gaze.
“Because you suddenly pulled my hat from behind.”
“Because you just pass by without looking at me or avoiding me.”
The gaze looking at me seemed full of displeasure. When Jun, frowning at me with raised eyebrows, began to feel somewhat sinister. Jun quickly softened his expression and smirked.
“I missed you, Iharu.”
As if carried by the sunlight that happened to shine at that moment, the wind penetrated through Jun’s hair. Jun, looking at me, sparkled. The current appearance of Jun standing in front of me was so dazzling, as if urging me to check whether it was a dream.
“It feels like a dream.”
When a scene you’ve dreamed of suddenly appears in reality, it becomes difficult to distinguish between reality and dreams.
“It’s not a dream.”
Jun’s clear and warm voice, not from behind the phone but right in front of me, was tender. Jun, lightly smiling, approached me.
“Whether it’s a dream or not, it’s okay. If it’s a dream, then as an excuse, we can stop shooting and spend the whole day hugging you. I’m fine with that too.”
While speaking, Jun leaned towards me and hugged me.
Of course, only for a moment.
“Ah, Iharu…”
Jun, who accidentally stepped on my foot, lowered his head deeply and flinched. Raising his upper body again, his gaze, full of grievances, was fixed on me.
“Why are you like this?”
“If we hug on the street, what should we do? I told you. From today, it won’t be strange if people from the broadcasting station appear around here anytime. So, we need to be more careful.”
Our current situation was supposed to be a scene that we would want to bookmark and cherish. But with the appearance of Jun with an unsatisfied expression and me with a cynical expression indicating there was nothing to be dissatisfied with, it became a scene where I hesitated about where to put the bookmark.
Could the words that I couldn’t string together with fixed and hard words be revealed through my expression? Jun squinted his eyes, as if about to say something but refrained, then let out a bitter sigh.
“It’s sad.”
Jun looked at me as if pressing my face as if it couldn’t be helped. His expression seemed to protest, as if saying, “Is this how we act when we meet after a long time?” Then, without adding more words, he turned his gaze aside. Nonchalantly, one hand was stuck in his pocket, and with the other hand, he gripped the handle of my suitcase.
“The house we’ll be staying in is on the opposite side.”
Jun pointed to the brown brick house across the street that I was about to enter with his chin. My gaze followed that direction.
Throughout the way, I had been concentrating solely on the left side to avoid getting lost. Just repeating the words “turn left and it’s the second house.” Perhaps that’s why the surprise was substantial.
A luxurious residence that was hard to believe it shared the same alley as the brown brick house I was heading into. The moment that house came into view, my astonished shoulders slightly lifted and then dropped.
A building with an exterior made of sparkling marble, shining so brightly that it seemed as if it were made of sunlight. It exuded a sophisticated luxury different from the other cute houses nestled beside it. I could feel Jun’s gaze on me, observing my side profile, unable to take his eyes off me.
A laughter, like a summer breeze, escaped from between Jun’s lips. Then, as if to confirm it again, he spoke.
“The house where the two of us will be spending the next few days.”
As if feeling that was somewhat lacking, he emphasized the important part he was thinking about again.
“Just you and me.”
The suddenly emerging embarrassed feelings easily pushed away the disorderly words.
“Ah, um… But here, uh… Here, this house too, the assistant director made a reservation for it as our lodging, so should I leave my luggage here and come back…?”
“What are you saying?”
Disorderly words sometimes easily made the listener lose patience.
“Why leave your luggage there? Weren’t you going to stay with me?”
“…Right.”
“Then it doesn’t make sense. Are you going to keep going back and forth between this house and that house every time you change clothes?”
“…No, right? I mean, not that. Since we’ve reserved this lodging, just leaving it empty feels a bit awkward, and…”
“It seems a bit awkward to leave it empty. And also…”
Jun’s expression seemed deliberately determined as if urging me to come up with a more convincing reason.
“But still, leaving it empty is a bit…”
“There’s no other reason. Come on, our lodging is this way.”
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…?
