Keeping the eyelids half-closed a little longer seemed like it could lead to a big problem.
Su-bin bit his lips tightly and lifted the girl. There wasn’t much time to get her out and find Taesang again.
Throughout the ascent of the stairs, he screamed, driven by desperation.
“Hey, snap out of it! Please… please snap out of it!”
“Ugh…”
“The one who was with you… Cough! Where is she? Huh? Say something!”
In the heat and acrid smoke, his face was now smeared with tears and mucus. Moreover, the weight pressing on his shoulders felt like his legs could give way at any moment.
At that moment, a man who had been lingering on the opposite side of the performance hall hurriedly ran to Su-bin. He lifted the girl with one hand and supported Su-bin with the other.
As his body lightened, walking became easier. Relying on the large hand, Su-bin barely managed to exit the performance hall.
As soon as they left the building, the man gently placed the girl on the ground and coughed frantically.
Su-bin urgently shook the girl.
“Open your eyes!”
“Ugh…”
With a small groan, her eyelids slowly rose. Su-bin pushed Taesang’s concert attire into her face and asked.
“Where is the owner of this outfit?”
“…?”
“The girl who played the piano with you, where is she?”
“She went out first.”
“What?”
“To the second floor… she went out first…”
“Ha.”
Feeling disappointed, Su-bin sat down on the spot.
A sense of relief that Taesang wasn’t hurt, a feeling of terror that he almost died himself. All emotions surged like a whirlwind.
Unbeknownst to him, thick tears streamed down his face. His trembling hands were only now felt. He had jumped in without thinking, but it was truly terrifying.
At that moment, a faint voice reached his ears.
“Why… are you crying?”
Su-bin wiped his eyes with his sleeve in desperation. In his cleared vision, a small face appeared.
“Don’t cry.”
“…?”
In an instant, he could feel how terrifying his actions were. Su-bin approached the girl and sat down beside her.
“Are you… okay?”
“I’m okay. Thank you for saving me, Oppa.”
With those words, the girl lost consciousness.
After that, Su-bin rode in the ambulance and watched as the girl was admitted to the hospital. Now feeling relieved, he tried to leave, but a nurse quickly grabbed him.
“Hey, where are you going? You need treatment too.”
“I’m fine. I’m not hurt.”
“Weren’t you also in the place where the fire broke out?”
“…?”
Wasn’t he there to save people, not because he was involved in the accident? Su-bin couldn’t say that.
He couldn’t say it confidently.
Turning away, Su-bin fled the spot. He heard someone calling him from behind, but he didn’t stop.
“Ha, ha…”
Heading towards the emergency stairs, Su-bin descended to the first floor in one breath. When he opened the door to leave, he saw a middle-aged man sitting at the end of the lobby.
Suddenly, his hand froze as if it had stiffened.
“I-I’m sure that man saw everything…”
Su-bin stumbled backward, then sat down on the stairs, hesitating.
He had seen me taking out the pipe and entering the performance hall.
What should I say if he asks how I knew there was someone inside? Should I say I happened to see it as I passed by? If he asks who put the pipe there, should I say I didn’t see it?
Su-bin covered his face with both hands.
Everything was wrong. If they just investigated a little, it wouldn’t take long to figure out what I had done.
His whole body trembled like a bamboo tree. It felt like the police would appear any moment and arrest him, and he would be pointed fingers at by people in the world.
Saying that I just wanted to confine him for a moment would likely not be believed by anyone.
Then, from upstairs, a light sound of heels was heard. Startled, he crouched down, and a teacher in a white gown approached and asked if he was okay.
Su-bin hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth.
“Umm… C-can you please let me make just one phone call since that uncle must have seen everything?”
She took Su-bin to the hospital’s administrative office. Sitting in a corner, Su-bin made a call to Myung-ok.
It took a while to explain the situation through choked sobs. At the end of a long silence, Myung-ok said only one word.
“Su-bin, just do as your mother says.”
After hanging up, a while later, Myung-ok appeared at the hospital with a man Su-bin didn’t know. By his tone, the man seemed to be Myung-ok’s secretary.
Taking Uncle Su-wi and leaving the hospital separately, Su-bin didn’t ask why. He simply followed Myung-ok’s lead, came home, and later lied in front of the adults as Myung-ok instructed.
“Construction materials collapsed and blocked the door. Uncle Su-wi cleared it, and we went in together.”
It was the moment when Su-bin’s life of “doing as his mother says” began.
In the darkened room.
Dajeong sat on the bed, flipping the blanket over her head. The back felt chilly, and goosebumps kept forming on her skin.
It felt as if someone was watching her.
She had been confronting them until yesterday.
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…?
