Startled by his cold demeanor, Da Jeong hurriedly retracted her words.
“Uh, I meant when I was a child. Everyone is envious and jealous as kids.”
“Only when you were a child? Da Jeong is always kind.”
“It’s not that… just that I’ve grown up.”
“Is your sibling still special?”
“Yes. They’re on a genius track, currently attending Korea’s top arts high school.”
Da Jeong said this with mock seriousness and a playful tone in her voice.
“They attend Seon Ah Arts High School?”
“Huh? You know it?”
“I know. I used to play the piano too… well, not a genius, just a bit.”
His smile seemed tinged with a weariness that couldn’t be pinpointed. Thinking it rude to probe further, Da Jeong remained silent.
[Ding] Whirr.Just then, breaking the brief silence, a vibrating sound emerged from her bag.
“Just a moment.”
“Uh-huh, uh-huh.”
Su Bin repeated his response twice, nodding cutely. Da Jeong followed suit with a smile and checked her phone.
[Ding] Have you decided?The message was from Tae Sang.
Da Jeong felt a momentary breathlessness.
She had thought about it a thousand times and knew rejecting his proposal was the right thing. Yet, her heart fluttered at a simple text, seemingly deciding differently on its own.
“Who is it?”
After a while of silence, Su Bin abruptly asked.
“Oh, that’s… it’s a person who’s not my boyfriend but who’s asking me to marry him.”
That was the only way to describe Tae Sang. Da Jeong mumbled the end of her sentence and slowly picked up her bag.
“Sorry, but I have to get going. I have an appointment.”
“Really…?”
Disappointment spread quickly across his face. He seemed like someone who had never tried to hide his feelings in his life.
“Well, goodbye then. Take care, Da Jeong.”
“Yes. Goodbye. And thank you, really.”
“Go ahead. Before I hold you back.”
“…….”
He remained an enigma until the end. Da Jeong blinked in puzzlement, then bowed her head slightly. At that, he barely lifted the corners of his mouth, showing a faint smile.
As she stepped out, Da Jeong, pulling her trolley with one hand, quickly typed a message with the other.
[Ding] Let’s meet and talk.The reply came in seconds.
[Ding] Airport underground parking lot.“Ha.”
Had he been there all along, pretending not to be? Da Jeong let out a light exclamation and turned towards the elevator.
There seemed to be more people than usual waiting today.
Among the bustling crowd, the sound of trolleys rattling, the airport beyond the glass doors was nothing but busy. But around Su Bin, time seemed to stand still.
Slumped in his chair, he quietly watched Da Jeong’s receding figure.
He blinked blankly as he saw her bowing to someone. The two in uniform, exchanging greetings with her, were flight attendants.
They smiled warmly and nodded, but as soon as they passed Da Jeong, their expressions turned sour, as if they had been waiting to do so.
The two flight attendants entered the coffee shop, exchanging hurried words.
“So, I heard it’s about Da Jeong.”
“No way!”
“Really. A junior of mine saw it recently in front of the airport. The Vice President himself came to pick her up.”
For a moment, Su Bin’s eyebrows furrowed deeply. However, the two, not noticing him seated right behind the door, continued their excited conversation.
“Wow. The Vice President, who never showed interest in women?”
“It must be that she flirted with him a lot on the plane. How else could it be?”
“Wow… Da Jeong is amazing. She caught the Vice President?”
“Exactly.”
The two continued talking as they headed to the counter.
“…….”
Left alone, Su Bin slowly sat up. His previously lifeless, plant-like expression was now animated, and his lips curled up in amusement.
He stretched like a cat, then straightened his arms before rapidly pulling out his phone from his pocket and making a call.
Once the call was answered, he spoke with an excited voice.
“Sister? It’s Su Bin. I want to do it. That school thing you talked about before, let me do it.”
In the underground parking lot filled only with the sound of rolling wheels.
The distinctive damp air was pierced by the clicking of shoes.
Da Jeong looked around for Tae Sang. Although he hadn’t disappeared, she felt an urgent impatience.
Then, she heard a car door open and close in the distance. Reflexively turning her head, she saw Tae Sang standing next to a black sedan, apparently having come alone, standing beside the driver’s seat.
Taking a deep breath, Da Jeong approached him. As she got closer, her heart, which had been calm, started to race wildly.
“When did you arrive?”
In just a few steps, she reached him. Da Jeong looked up at him, trying to appear as calm as possible.
“I just arrived.”
Tae Sang closed the distance between them with his large strides, seeming ready to dive right into the main topic without hesitation.
“Have you made your decision?”
“……Yes, I have.”
A thin answer flowed from Da Jeong’s lips.
“And your answer?”
“I want… to do it.”
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…?
