“Jun-ah, but…”
Haru wrapped her arms around her knees and looked down, asking.
“Yeah.”
I quietly brushed aside Haru’s scattered hair behind her ear.
“Have you read my script, all of it?”
Seeing her continuously lift and lower her feet, she seemed tense.
“I’ve read it all, haven’t I?”
It had been a while since I read it, but I deliberately said it to leave room for her.
Glancing sideways, Haru was shaking her head with her forehead on her knees. It seemed embarrassing, wondering how she managed to write the script in such a state.
Well, it was the story of Haru’s first love, but it was also my first love story. Haru and me, our story. A true story we shared. So, even though it’s embarrassing, she must have managed to write it down relying on her memories somehow.
“Was it fun? How should I put it…”
Lifting her head, which had been buried in her knees, Haru’s eyes sparkled, waiting only for my answer. What should I say to those eyes? It seemed like she might not like it much.
“Well, it felt like it was from Haru’s perspective, right?”
“Oh, that’s obvious.”
It wasn’t the answer she expected, but seeing her smile, it seemed fine in its own way.
“As a director, it was quite refreshing. We definitely thought we were seeing and feeling the same things in the same space at that time. But subtly different perspectives or senses were visible. So, I thought about highlighting that point in the direction. Haru’s perspective. And mine.”
Haru listened attentively with a quite serious expression.
“Well, as Kim Jun, not as a director?”
“…Can I say it?”
Glancing at Haru, there was an expression of ‘Is there anything you can’t say?’ It would be regrettable.
“What puzzled me a bit was that in your script, our bed scene is missing…”
“Where do we have a bed scene!”
Haru’s originally large eyes were even bigger now. Between the hair I handed over earlier, her red ear was visible. I couldn’t help but laugh at her reaction, wondering if it was necessary to react this much.
“Do you really not remember? The day before you went to Korea…”
“We had nothing that day.”
Cutting off the conversation, I couldn’t properly continue the story.
“Well, strictly speaking, nothing happened, but there was something.”
It seemed like I said something unnecessary. I was afraid to say more, thinking it might end up shedding tears. I felt like I should stop talking.
“Forget about it if you don’t remember. Let’s just cherish it as a shining memory in my heart.”
I felt a gaze staring at me, so I decided to let it flow while watching the night sky. I didn’t say anything untrue.
“Don’t make that expression. As I said earlier, that’s just Kim Jun’s perspective. Since it’s a movie, as a film director, of course, I have to beautifully capture the kissing scene in this movie. The kiss where we first confirmed our feelings.”
Perhaps feeling a little reassured, Haru nodded with her cheeks blushing.
“The kissing scene in the script… Would that be okay? Jun-ah, were there parts that felt different from your memories?”
“Ah… Even if it’s a script, it’s drawn according to the vision you saw and felt, Haru. Parts I didn’t see, missed, obviously show up. In fact, it was good to see those points. For me.”
“…Then, are there parts I didn’t see and missed?”
“How about that?”
“…There might be.”
Her expression, filled with questions, was as clear as a child’s.
“I’ll show you the script later. Look forward to it.”
And then, I, who had just been looking at the night sky, looked up again. For a moment, I quietly looked at the night sky, breathing the same air as Haru.
The spring night contained in the square frame faintly shone in the moonlight.
I gently took Haru’s small hand on my side. Fortunately, there was no sign of her pulling away, so I turned her hand around and held it firmly. When Haru looked at the hand we held, then looked at my face, she smiled reassuringly.
“I’ll just hold your hand. Let’s watch the night sky together like this.”
“Yeah.”
Even in the single-word answer that came out of Haru’s tightly closed mouth, warmth could be felt. And thus, the two of us spent a tender time together.
“Jun-ah.”
Suddenly, Haru called my name, and I turned around.
“Yeah?”
“I, I don’t remember well…”
“What…”
That was when I felt Haru’s hands grabbing the collar of my shirt. Soon, the force in Haru’s hands transmitted along my neck.
Without a chance to react, my body tilted towards Haru. When Haru, who had closed her eyes, filled my field of vision, my lips touched hers.
The moment our lips touched, I couldn’t savor the soft sensation that touched instantly, and when the force from Haru’s hand grabbing my collar was released, our lips that had touched parted leisurely.
Looking into Haru’s moist eyes, I could tell. Haru was recreating that day.
The day we shared our first kiss in the sun-filled living room. The day Haru gathered courage and kissed me first.
“Do you remember what happened after that?”
Saying that she didn’t remember anything after that.
“Yeah.”
There was no way she wouldn’t remember.
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…?
