When Yoo Gun opened the door and entered, Chae Won’s expression was completely hardened.
Wondering what was wrong, she said.
“Why don’t we change rooms?”
Only then did Yoo Gun turn his gaze to examine every corner of the room.
There wasn’t much to see for long.
A single overwhelmingly large bed filled the room between a small table and vanity placed for appearance’s sake.
The cozy guest room, perfect for embracing all day, was undoubtedly the narrowest room in this hotel.
It was a moment when Kim Madam’s obvious intentions were clearly revealed, as if these family members always had to make things so apparent.
“I like it.”
It was sincere, but also said out of curiosity for her reaction, and her eyes immediately straightened.
As if she hadn’t expected such an answer.
If she’s this cute, I like this room even more, what to do…
Yoo Gun approached Chae Won before she could become any more rigid and turn to stone.
As she flinched, her shoulders twitching, Yoo Gun smiled and snatched the small suitcase from her hand, then grasped her now empty hand.
“Let’s go out.”
Now, as if it were natural, their hands stuck together like magnets.
Chae Won, looking at their joined hands, then traced up his arm to gaze at Yoo Gun’s profile.
“You said you liked the room, so why did we come out?”
“Because from now on, Kim Chae Won’s words are law to me.”
Yoo Gun, who had stopped, pressed the button to call the elevator.
Only then did he naturally turn his head towards Chae Won, who was trying to maintain a calm expression.
No matter how he thought about it, Choi Yoo Gun seemed to be an extraordinary lover and player.
He had the skill to tickle one’s heart with such an expressionless face.
“What if I insist on anything?”
“Still, your words are law. Except for two things.”
Chae Won turned her head towards Yoo Gun with a curious expression.
“What are they?”
“One is breaking up.”
Faced with his suddenly serious gaze, Chae Won nodded briefly.
After all, it wasn’t a decision made with a light heart from the beginning.
“And the other?”
“Twin beds.”
“…Pardon?”
“Don’t think about sleeping separately from now on. Including today.”
Flustered by his words that sounded like a warning, Chae Won’s lips quivered in confusion.
With the elevator arrival sound, the doors opened, and Yoo Gun pulled Chae Won’s hand he was holding to board the elevator.

“Shall I play some classical music good for the elder sister-in-law’s prenatal care?”
Ho Tae glanced at the rearview mirror, observing the two people sitting in the back seat.
Ro Na, who had been leaning on Jae Min’s shoulder, straightened her head and smiled softly.
“It’s okay, Ho Tae. We’re almost there anyway.”
“Isn’t resting at home the best for prenatal care?”
Jenny, sitting in the passenger seat, pouted her lips with a disgruntled expression.
She had planned to spend some cozy time alone with Ho Tae, but suddenly Jae Min suggested spending their vacation together.
Unhappy with their intrusion, Jenny openly showed her displeasure.
“Hey, Noh Jenny. Are you going to keep upsetting your new elder sister?”
At Jae Min’s cold voice, Ro Na pressed his shoulder as if to say it was okay.
“What’s so special about prenatal care? Coming out like this to enjoy the scenery, eat delicious food with good people, take photos, and have fun is better prenatal care, isn’t it? Our little bean will enjoy spending time with its pretty aunt and handsome uncle more.”
“That’s right. Haha.”
Ho Tae laughed and agreed, glancing at Jenny, who still had her lips puckered.
“We’re going to the pool party at the hotel tonight, you know? But elder sister can’t wear a swimsuit because she’s pregnant.”
“Why can’t I wear one? I can. I bought a maternity swimsuit in advance because they sell them separately. Don’t worry.”
Jae Min, who had been pondering, looked at Ro Na’s slightly protruding belly.
“Ro Na, but still. Don’t you think it’s a bit much to go into the water? The pool water doesn’t seem like it would be good.”
“Who said I’m going in? I’m just going to dip my feet. I came to enjoy the atmosphere, not to swim, so don’t worry, Jae Min.”
Ro Na, who had been smiling, quietly swallowed as she looked at the back of Jenny’s head, who was facing the window.
She had coaxed Jae Min to come along, hoping to get closer to her soon-to-be family, but Jenny seemed thoroughly displeased.
“By the way, Jenny, your style today is really nice. Your clothes are pretty too.”
“Hmm, the clothes are pretty, right?”
“Yes, they’re very pretty. But Jenny, you look good in anything, after all, pretty people look good in everything.”
A slight smile appears on her profile, seemingly in a good mood.
Fortunately, both siblings are weak to compliments.
While thinking that she wouldn’t be too difficult to handle either, a short text message alert sounded.
[I’ve been busy, so I just opened the wedding invitation now. Wow, congratulations Ro Na. You’re finally going too.]It had been a day of continuous congratulatory messages from acquaintances.
Jae Min seems to have come to his senses fortunately, and now she feels like she can finally live with peace of mind.
After the wedding ceremony goes smoothly in a week, all that’s left is to file a lawsuit against the dawdling Kim Hee Joo and divorce her.
“The weather is really nice.”
Ro Na put down her phone and leaned her head on Jae Min’s shoulder, drawing a satisfied smile.

“There’s quite a lot I want to do. After all, it’s a rare vacation for me too.”
Chae Won, who had been stiff for a long time, suddenly became talkative.
“First, let’s eat. Not at the restaurant here, but I know a shabu-shabu place nearby. Let’s go there to eat and come back. I want to eat that.”
Yoo Gun watched the numbers in the elevator change from 5 to 4 as he replied.
“Okay.”
“And there’s a big walking path next to that store. I feel a bit stiff because I haven’t exercised for a few days, so let’s walk a lot before coming back. A lot.”
With a ding sound, the doors opened.
Yoo Gun pulled Chae Won’s hand he was holding and exited the elevator.
“Alright.”
On the way to the desk to change rooms, Chae Won saw an elegant decorative signpost standing prominently amidst their unwavering steps.
[7 PM Cellist Woo Sung Hee’s Cello Concert] [Summer Festival, Bikini Pool Party]The two notices, being completely different in nature, had directional signs pointing in opposite directions.
Chae Won, gradually moving away and averting her gaze, turned her head back to Yoo Gun.
“And after walking like that and coming back, we need to take pictures. Let’s watch the cello concert being held in the hall here. And then.”
And then.
And then… um, ah!
“I’m suddenly curious, but how’s your alcohol tolerance? Do you have any drinking habits or something?”
Chae Won, who had finished planning up to getting him drunk and putting him to bed early, asked with focus as if about to hear an important answer.
“It depends on my condition, but I don’t really have a limit.”
While building his business, there were more days when he came home after drinking than days when he didn’t drink.
How much he had endured trying not to lose his mind in those situations.
Perhaps because of the accumulated experience of those past days, even now he rarely became discomposed at business-related drinking gatherings.
“No… limit? But there must be some appropriate standard.”
“Well, it varies a bit each time.”
Chae Won, who had been staring intensely as if she had asked a very important question, soon nodded her head.
“Then, well, let’s find out while having a drink in the evening. Well.”
Just before reaching their destination, Yoo Gun’s feet suddenly stopped and he turned to Chae Won.
As Chae Won opened her eyes wide in surprise, Yoo Gun gently caressed her cheek and said.
“But I don’t sleep when I drink.”
“…You don’t sleep?”
“Yeah.”
Yoo Gun brought his lips close to Chae Won’s ear and said.
“Then you won’t be able to sleep either.”
He turned back with a face that seemed to have caught onto all of her schemes.
Chae Won swallowed dryly as she looked at the back of Yoo Gun’s head approaching the reception.
Rolling her eyes this way and that, Chae Won quickly revised her plan.
“…Alcohol is not going to work.”
I didn’t know I’d come here dating this man.
I didn’t know I might spend the night together just two days after acknowledging my feelings.
Chae Won looked around with a perplexed expression before gradually putting strength into her eyes.
“…Huh?”
There was a woman in familiar attire outside the window.
And a man in a discordant outfit that she had seen many times before.
And…
“Go Ro Na?”
Go Ro Na with a bright smile and Noh Jae Min were also smiling as they pushed open the door and entered.
Flustered, Chae Won immediately turned her head and rolled her eyes with a serious expression.
“We’ve changed, so let’s go up.”
“Wait a moment.”
Chae Won grabbed Yoo Gun’s arm as he approached her and walked to a corner.
“Ah, ah, don’t turn around. Stay like that. Just like that.”
Chae Won stayed put, holding onto Yoo Gun as if appreciating the painting on the wall.
While Yoo Gun was wondering why Chae Won was acting this way, a familiar voice was heard from behind.
“Hahaha. Elder brother, elder sister! Then, let’s meet at the pool party venue after changing into swimsuits.”
“Yes, wow. It’s going to be fun! Let’s have a blast today before we leave!”
“Ro Na, you’re in such high tension right now? Calm down. Think of the baby.”
Even Jae Min and Ro Na’s voices were there.
Watching Chae Won quietly take out sunglasses from her bag and put them on, Yoo Gun also focused his gaze on the painting in front.
“The wedding preparations are going smoothly, and I’m feeling at ease after a long time. I’m just so happy.”
“You’re that happy?”
“Yes. I feel like I could fly because I’m in such a good mood.”
“Alright, if you’re happy, then the little bean is happy, and I’m happy too. Let’s have fun today before we go!”
“Anyway, see you later, oppa.”
“Okay.”
The voices of those walking away, giggling and laughing, gradually faded.
Chae Won, who had been standing there taking in all their words, quietly bit her lower lip.
“I was going to wait until the wedding if possible.”
Chae Won said as she took off her sunglasses.
“It’s bothersome.”
Yoo Gun, who had been silently listening to their voices with his gaze lowered, also turned his eyes to Chae Won.
“While my elder sister is lying like that, those adulterers shouldn’t be feeling at ease and happy enough to fly, and all that excitement… It’s not right, is it?”
“It’s not.”
Yoo Gun, who had been looking ahead with a relaxed expression, turned his head towards Chae Won.
“Shall we clean up?”
“How?”
“Just go and pick out a broom. I’ll do the sweeping.”
While they were looking into each other’s eyes, Chae Won’s phone in her hand vibrated briefly.
[Teacher, have you checked in? I remembered you said you were spending your vacation at the same hotel as me!]It was a message from Nurse Oh.
Chae Won, thinking as she looked at the message, lifted her phone to show Yoo Gun.
“I suppose cleaning is better done with two rather than alone, right?”
Yoo Gun’s dry gaze, after reading the message, turned directly to Chae Won.
“Four is even better than two.”
Chae Won, nodding her head, her expression becoming a bit more solemn as if she were about to become a robot vacuum cleaner.
“I hope it will be a satisfying clean-up.”
The man for whom her words were law from today smiled slightly and pulled Chae Won’s hand.

Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation (Female-dominant)
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.
Synopsis:
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.
He even had his eyes on another woman.
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.
Su Mu expressed her disdain.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
She also wanted to embrace Xie Yi, who had silently stayed by her side in her previous life and committed suicide by taking poison after her death.
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.”
