Observing the two people together, Ruby couldn’t grasp the situation for a while and remained silent. Hyoju was equally puzzled.
“Jagiya?”
Ruby couldn’t figure out why Jagiya was calling her here, but even a rough guess indicated it wasn’t about her.
Here, Ruby, where are you? Aish, no way. Hyoju, glancing at Philip, who was staring blankly, felt a bit dizzy.
God, here are two fools. Please forgive my dullness, unable to see one step ahead in the darkness under the lamp.
“Jagiya, are we on good terms with my sister?”
Still with her eyes closed, Hyoju could hear the foolish voice of Philip next to her ear.
Exactly three seconds later.
After understanding the situation, Ruby, with an astonished expression, asked, “Was Philip your sister’s acquaintance?”
Yes, he was. Your punk boyfriend was Philip.
Hyoju chuckled and replied briefly, “Yeah.”
[Star Icon]After handing over ten thousand won to Philip and forcibly sending him away, Hyoju and Ruby sat facing each other at the street vendor’s cart.
“I never thought Philip would be my sister’s younger brother. How could something like this happen in the world?”
After learning that Philip had been scammed by his agency and had nowhere to go, she burst into tears.
“I didn’t know it was so hard… If I had known, I would have stopped him when he said he was going to buy coffee… Ugh!”
“Ruby.”
“I’m sorry for always getting free meals. I often bought him coffee, feeling sorry for him. Even though he’s a stray dog with nowhere to go, who bought coffee for whom!”
“Ruby?”
“My jagiya doesn’t have money, but he’s really kind. You know, right, unni? When you call him, he runs to you like a puppy and wags his tail when you feel depressed. He even promised to treat me to a hotel buffet when he debuts. These bad guys betrayed that kind guy!”
Sigh. I roughly expected it, but the situation is more serious than I thought.
Ruby dating an unemployed wanderer was something she knew in advance, but now it seemed she was completely lost and couldn’t discern right from wrong.
“Ruby, wake up. That son of a bitch Oh Chuntaek has been taking advantage of you, hasn’t he? He sometimes takes an allowance when he’s short of money.”
“That’s true, but…”
“There’s no good guy among men who take money from women.”
“But…”
“Break up. A sincere advice for Ruby.”
Hyoju’s sharp words made Ruby’s eyes watery.
“What are you saying? I really love Philip.”
“Then do you want to live sucking his blood forever?”
“Who says that? Once he debuts…”
“Snap out of it. Haven’t you had enough of the talk about debuting? If you had that level of talent, someone would have scouted you anywhere. Ruby, have you ever seen that bastard’s lyric notebook?”
Ruby bit her lips and stayed silent.
“Oh, I’ve seen it.”
If she had witnessed his terrible lyric skills that relied only on rhyming, she would realize how far away the word “debut” was from Philip.
[Mom is my sky, dyed deep with the sunset.] [Under the fingertips that peeled garlic every day.] [My eyes get teary every time I see Mom’s hands.] [Mother call me my son, Mother is my sun.]What does a guy who has never bought a bunch of garlic for his mom want by calling her like that?
Would it be okay if it ended there?
I remember throwing away the notebook, shocked by the self-deprecating lyrics that were humble enough to be thankful. Hyoju was frustrated to the point of madness, wondering why she was so diligent in a field where she had no talent.
She suggested looking for another aptitude several times, but stubborn Philip never listened.
“He will manage his life himself.”
She thought she would let it go if it didn’t work out, but with the wanderer sticking close to Ruby, the situation changed.
“Young and pretty, meeting such a wanderer at this age, getting your wallet robbed. How can you just let it happen?”
In reality, Hyoju was more concerned about Ruby than Philip, who was practically like a different brother. Philip, who had lived sticking anywhere until now, could find a place to live, but Ruby was different.
More than an almost brother-like Philip, Hyoju’s heart went out to Ruby.
If it were Philip, he could probably live clinging anywhere, but Ruby was different.
Ruby, driven by principles and pure-hearted, wouldn’t easily abandon Philip. If she got emotionally attached, she might fall into the pit Philip had dug with his reckless actions.
“Grandpa’s reason for shaving off the hair of Kimchodok leaves is understandable.”
Hyoju resolved herself, loaded with a bitter remark.
“Think about the family worrying only about Ruby in Sinwoldo. Organizing things before it gets deeper is for everyone’s sake. Can you guarantee that Chuntae won’t cause any accidents in the future?”
“He said he’ll sober up and live…”
“Do you believe that? If you really believe it, I won’t say anything more.”
“…Honestly, I don’t know.”
Okay, she’s almost there.
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…?
