Was she always this lively and carefree?
During college, Gyu Min was like a mischievous younger brother.
The current Gyu Min couldn’t be described with a single word, but he was quite different from back then.
Seeing Gyu Min’s smiling face, as if the spring breeze was blowing, Jae In couldn’t help but smile along.
On the other hand, Do Hyuk narrowed his eyes and observed the two lively individuals with a critical gaze.
Seeing the blossoming smile on Jae In’s face, indicating that they were having an enjoyable conversation, a boiling sensation welled up inside her.
‘Completely defenseless. They never smiled like that when I was around…’
Calling him ‘Gyu Min’ affectionately, even using his name.
She had only called Do Hyuk’s name once before.
“It’s a violation of personal space. Please be careful, Mr. Cha Do Hyuk.”

Her expression was very cold.
Hmph. Do Hyuk exhaled a hot breath and tightly gripped the cup, as if he could shatter it.
Even after drinking a cup of cold water in one gulp, the heat didn’t subside.
“It’s too late now…”
She had felt relieved, thinking that Gyu Min was the right person for the project, but now it felt like I was digging my own grave.
The more she thought about it, the more she was bothered by Gyu Min’s ambiguous attitude disguised as a prank.
“There’s definitely something going on.”
An ominous premonition gradually rose from the depths of her mind.
Damn it. Just dealing with Nam Min Woo is tiring enough.
Why are there so many men around Seo Jae In?

With the unexpected appearance of a formidable opponent, Do Hyuk instinctively assumed a defensive posture.
At that moment, Na Hee, who had been waiting for an opportune moment, approached Do Hyuk with a gentle voice.
“Team leader, it’s even more delightful to see you outside. Let’s raise our glasses to celebrate.”
“No, thank you. I don’t drink.”
“Oh my, you’re not eating. Is it because of your constitution? I have no problem with it. Hoho.”
“….”
Even with Do Hyuk’s silent response, Na Hee couldn’t stop herself from speaking. It felt like she had been chosen by some king.
She leaned in close to Do Hyuk, revealing her curvaceous body, and asked him a question.
“By the way, what do you usually do after work, Team Leader?”
Without any hesitation, the answer came out of Do Hyuk’s mouth in a split second.

“I work.”
“Oh my, Team Leader, you have a great sense of humor.”
Jae In unconsciously perked up her ears at Na Hee’s words.
Kang Na Hee, that’s not a joke.
Unfortunately, I’m a witness to that.
Jae In suppressed the itchiness in her mouth.
“What about on weekends?”
“I work.”
“Oh my, Team Leader, you’re so amusing!”
Na Hee laughed as if she was about to fall backward.

However, Jae In sighed involuntarily, knowing that the weekend was approaching.
As expected.
He’ll be working all day even on weekends.
I anticipated that the workaholic Cha Do Hyuk would be like this, but it’s really happening.
I planned to meet Yura this weekend. How should I tell her?
The successor herself said she would dedicate herself to work even on weekends.
It didn’t seem like I could boldly say that I, a mere employee, would go out to have fun.
As Jae In’s worries deepened, Na Hee, as if determined to dig into Do Hyuk’s personal life, asked another question.
“I heard your family is in a foreign country. Aren’t you lonely living alone?”
Embarrassed.

Jae In glanced at Do Hyuk as if catching a thief.
In that moment when their eyes met.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Do Hyuk’s lips.
What is this ominous premonition?
Finally, the words that came out of his mouth confirmed Jae In’s intuition.
“Not at all. It’s just the two of us.”
“Team Leader!”
Jae In shouted in surprise at Do Hyuk’s bombshell statement.
Everyone’s gaze turned towards her at once.
“Why are you so surprised, Assistant Manager?”

Even though Na Hee made a sarcastic remark, Jae In, taken aback, didn’t hear a word.
Only one thought filled her mind.
‘Team Leader, have you gone crazy?’
In any case, after shouting ‘Team Leader!’ so loudly, she had to say something in this situation.
In Jae In’s hesitant eyes, she caught a glimpse of a perfectly cooked piece of meat.
She picked up a piece and placed it on Do Hyuk’s plate, speaking.
“Please try the meat. It’s carefully selected topgrade pork that has been aged in wine for 72 hours, resulting in a deep flavor and excellent texture, without any offsmells… Anyway, it’s incredibly delicious.”
Please eat it and close your mouth!
As everyone’s gaze fell on her, Jae In, who had started a word feast, broke out in a cold sweat.
On the other hand, Do Hyuk had a calm expression after his bombshell statement.

‘This person, really! He caused the explosion, but why do I have to clean up the mess!’
At that moment, when Jae In was silently boiling with anger.
Na Hee asked in a tense voice.
“Team Leader, who do you live with? Perhaps… a girlfriend?”
“Well, that’s…”
Just as Do Hyuk was about to speak.
Jae In hastily interrupted.
“Team Leader! You mentioned that you raise a dog at home because you’re lonely, right? It’s as good as having a lover.”
“A dog?”
Na Hee’s face turned pale.

Do Hyuk glanced at the flustered Jae In and subtly raised the corners of his mouth.
“That’s right. I live with a dog that is completely clueless and doesn’t understand its owner’s heart at all.”
Wait, isn’t that my story?
Even though I stared directly into Do Hyuk’s eyes, I couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.
In any case, it was a dangerous situation, but luckily we got through it without being caught.
At that moment, when Jae In brushed aside her uneasiness and wiped her chest,
Suddenly, Na Hee clapped like a seal.
“Oh, it must be so cute! I really, really love that dog. I currently have a Poodle and a Pomeranian.”
Na Hee enthusiastically shared episodes about the dogs she had raised until now.
Perhaps due to Na Hee’s boring story, the other team members focused on eating and didn’t ask any further questions.

Jae In also took this opportunity to eagerly pick up the meat and eat.
Due to Kyumin’s prank and the bombshell thrown by Do Hyuk, her energy had been drained, and she urgently needed to recharge.
I never thought there would come a day when I would owe so much to a dog.
Once the bomb was defused, the more I thought about it, the more overwhelmed I became.
I can understand if it’s Gyumin, but what on earth is our team leader thinking?
It’s as if he deliberately revealed our cohabitation.
I couldn’t understand why he had to create unnecessary trouble when it would all end if he just said he lived alone.
How much time has passed?
I thought it was finally over, but once again, Na Hee’s question followed.
“By the way, Team Leader, what kind of person is your ideal type?”
ads
Na Hee, please stop. I’m not curious at all.
As soon as Na Hee finished speaking, Do Hyuk answered without a moment’s hesitation.
“A woman who eats well with a brave spirit, even while crying.”
“What? Uh… that’s… unique.”
She must have been trying to figure out Do Hyuk’s ideal type and match herself to it.
But instead, she received a ridiculous answer, leaving Na Hee with a complicated expression in her mind.
However, Jae In knew.
If it was Kang Na Hee, she would even practice eating while crying.
Yeah, give it your best shot.
“By the way, she’s a woman who eats well with a brave spirit, even while crying. I thought her personality was unique, but her taste seems quite peculiar.”

Jae In casually raised her head and unexpectedly locked eyes with Do Hyuk.
In that instant, Do Hyuk’s intense pupils gleamed sharply.
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…?
