As Jaein covered her blushing face with her lips, a meaningful smile appeared on Dohyuk’s lips.
“Seo Jaein, did you think I would demand such a fatal method for our first night together?”
Kyaah!
When the word ‘first night’ popped out of Dohyuk’s mouth, Jaein felt a million times more embarrassed.
She should have firmly denied it, but due to her confusion, she missed the timing.
Dohyuk chuckled and playfully pinched and released Jaein’s nose.
“What, do you see me that way? I’m not that frustrated, you know.”
“N-No, it’s not like that!”
It’s too late. I’m so embarrassed.
Jaein closed her eyes tightly and covered her face with both hands.
A warm breath touched her ear as she did so.
“Seo Jaein, if you want, I’m willing to comply, but…”
“Okay!”
Jaein pushed Dohyuk away and sprang up like a stretched spring.
As she rushed toward Dohyuk to grab him, a pitiful cry echoed behind her.
“Seo Jaein, what if you just go? Call me Oppa when we’re alone!”
“I don’t know!”
“Just a while ago, you promised to call me Oppa, but now it’s too much.”
That Oppa nonsense!
Watch me call you!
Bang!
Ignoring Dohyuk’s dissatisfaction, Jaein bounced back, closing the door behind her.
Then, she immediately flopped on the bed and flailed around.
Feeling like she would die of embarrassment.
Then, a sudden thought crossed her mind.
‘Am I the one with sexual frustration… Could it be me?’
Crazy, crazy!
Jaein flipped the pillow over her head.
‘Ah, if only I could quickly fall asleep and not think about it…’
But she knew.
Tonight, as long as she didn’t stay up all night kicking the blanket, it would be fortunate.
Two days later, on Wednesday evening.
On their way home from work, Dohyuk and Jaein visited Hanse Hospital.
They had rushed over upon hearing the news of Hyeona’s successful heart surgery.
As they entered the cafe in the hospital lobby, Director Kim Seonghee of Balsa Love Orphanage welcomed them with a smile.
“Jaein is here. Oh, and Team Leader Cha too.”
“Director, thank you for your hard work. Is Hyeona okay?”
“The surgery went well, and two days later, she was transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular room. Thank you, Jaein. Team Leader Cha, thank you very much.”
“Not at all.”
“Thanks to you, the surgery was done quickly and safely. Even when Hyeona collapsed, it was the same. Honestly, if it weren’t for Team Leader Cha, I wonder what would have happened.”
Just the thought of it made Director Kim let out a long sigh.
Dohyuk grinned and said, “I just did what was natural. On our way here, I received a call from Director Jo. We’ll have to keep an eye on Hyeona for a while, but he says she will live a healthy life from now on.”
“Really? Just hearing that makes me feel relieved. Thank you.”
Director Kim continuously wiped away her tears, smiling brightly.
Jaein also held Director Kim’s hand, shedding tears.
After a while, Jaein and Dohyuk handed the gift for Hyeona to Director Kim and stood up from their seats.
As they left the hospital lobby, Jaein said, “Team Leader, thank you again for helping Hyeona.”
“It’s nothing. I’m just glad the surgery went well.”
“When Hyeona gets better, we’ll go to Neverland together.”
“The amusement park on the outskirts?”
“Yes. Hyeona has been singing that going there has been her wish for a few years. She was always busy, so she kept saying ‘next time,’ but…”
Jaein’s voice suddenly choked up.
Dohyuk patted Jaein’s shoulder and said, “It can’t be helped. I’ll go with you.”
“Team Leader?”
“Yeah. I can’t stand crowded places, but…”
“Team Leader…”
Jaein’s heart swelled with emotion at the warm consideration hidden in Dohyuk’s casual words.
What is this man’s charm? Does it ever end?
“Even though I can’t stand it, seeing you willing to go makes me think you really enjoy riding amusement park rides?”
“What? Seo Jaein, do you really think that?”
Seeing Dohyuk’s eyebrows rise, Jaein burst into a soft laugh.
Then, Dohyuk leaned slightly and whispered in her ear.
“By the way, when are you going to fulfill my wish?”
“Ah…”
“Will you call me ‘Oppa’ when we’re alone in the future?”
That wish, she still hasn’t given up on it.
Despite Dohyuk bringing it up several times since yesterday, pretending not to hear, Jaein burst into laughter.
Dohyuk chuckled and said, “You’re still not giving up on that wish?”
“Well…”
“That can’t be helped… Anyway, it’s too much. What if you make a mistake at work?”
“I don’t know. Are you going to keep calling me ‘Team Leader’ in front of your boyfriend?”
In a romantic relationship, it’s natural to use terms like ‘Mr.,’ ‘Oppa’ (older brother), or endearing terms, but just the thought of it made Jaein too embarrassed to speak.
“Okay, I get it. Instead, quit your job.”
“Wait so long for that? That’s too much.”
“I’ve already compromised a hundred times. If you don’t like it, just quit.”
“Oh, no!”
Dohyuk quickly hooked pinkies with Jaein, sealing the promise.
“Instead, if you quit your job, you must keep the promise. Got it?”
“Sure.”
Whatever, who cares?
Let future Seo Jaein deal with it.
But who would believe that someone like Cha Dohyuk, with his poker face, would say such things?
Cha Dohyuk, known only to Seo Jaein.
As Jaein got to know the new side of Dohyuk, she fell even deeper for him.
“Team Leader, I’m hungry.”
When Jaein clung to him like a child, Dohyuk’s face turned bright red.
“Uh, really? Should we go to a place that makes good steak?”
“No. I want extremely spicy tteokbokki after a long time. There’s a tteokbokki place near here that Yura and I often go to.”
“Tteokbokki?”
While Jaein swallowed saliva eagerly, Dohyuk seemed less enthusiastic.
Whether he liked it or not, Jaein was on fire.
“Let’s also have hot fish cake soup and fried food. Oh, and sundae (Korean blood sausage) too!”
“Just go for steak? I don’t really like sundae; it looks weird, and the smell is not great…”
“Team Leader?”
Jaein, who suddenly stopped walking, looked up at Dohyuk with deer-like eyes.
Oh no. She’s too adorable!
Dohyuk let out a warm snort and said, “But if Seo Jaein likes it, I can eat a whole truckload. Let’s go!”
“Yes.”
The two walked out of the lobby with cheerful steps.
There was someone watching them so intently, and it was something they couldn’t even dream of.
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…?
