A: You mentioned it as the last question earlier. It’s a joke. When I look at the sunset, my thought is that I wish this moment could last forever. I lived my life erasing that word from my dictionary, but these days, I’m trying to cherish it again.
Taekyung laughed silently.
He thought of Yoon Woo-yeon, who had become entangled in his tongue.
Her image, which had breathed in and out day and night, lingered in front of him.
He wanted to bring her in front of him right away and demand to continue.
There was simply no clue.
Taekyung tried to figure out the identity of the middle-aged woman he saw at Haelimwon that day, but it was difficult to find any clear information anywhere.
By now, he thought that the stories circulating in the Jangkyungga might be nothing more than strange rumors created by the factions opposing him when he rose to the top.
There were suspicious points, but since there was no concrete evidence, he thought about turning to a completely different direction.
“How is the prosecution handling the Jung-eum Construction case?”
In response to Taekyung’s question, Director Han, searching through documents in the same office, soon answered.
“The prosecution is expected to conduct a thorough investigation this time, as the media has been intensively covering it, suggesting that a strong investigation from the prosecution is inevitable.”
“Will there be any mention of the connection between Minister Shin and Jangkyung Group?”
Director Han shook his head. That answer seemed somewhat unrealistic.
It was clear that Jangkyung had initially used Minister Shin in a process. After appointing him as an external director and making him a perfect ally, he even placed him in the position of minister.
In return, Jangkyung would have obtained various favorable permits for business.
If it went this far, it meant that Minister Shin would be implicated in various illegal permits he had granted over time.
He would never create more crimes for himself. It was a judgment that he would not do that.
“The prosecution will probably consult with Minister Shin. They will likely reach an agreement to conclude it with an appropriate sentence without exposing all the details about Jangkyung, benefiting each other.”
“That makes sense.”
It was probably still considered difficult for the prosecution to touch Jangkyung. In the end, it indicated the need for a bigger blow. While Taekyung was rolling the pen with his fingers, he received a message from Inyoung.
It was a message expressing the wish to meet.
Taekyung turned to Director Han.
“How is Manager Kim doing these days?”
“He’s quiet. It seems like he’s doing his best for Jo Inyoung after getting married.”
“It’s unlikely.”
He lightly brushed his jaw with his index finger. On the day they met at the Wedding Tower, whenever Kim Minjoon’s gaze flew, it wasn’t towards his wife Jo Inyoung but towards Yoon Woo-yeon.
From Park Minkwon to Kim Minjoon, to Shin Jaeyoung. Why are there so many men who need to be cautious of this woman?
He thought for a moment.
It would have been fortunate if he had only annoying thoughts up to that point, but unfortunately, trivial and everyday actions spent at Woo-yeon’s house came to mind again.
Scenes that filled the space between language and language. Woo-yeon’s shampoo, lying together with arm pillows on the bed, the movement of the small fish in the fish tank she fed.
Woo-yeon’s scent mixed with the fragrance of flowers she took in from that house, strands of hair sticking to sweat, elegant gestures that shifted slightly with each dive.
When she was in a good mood, she would slightly narrow her eyes and smile wide like a flower.
My lovely woman.
The dimples that only appeared when she laughed deeply flickered in front of him.
“It won’t work.”
He put on the jacket he had laid out and buttoned it up.
“Director Han?”
“Yes, Mr. President.”
“Please schedule a meeting with Jo Inyoung this afternoon. After six.”
“Yes, understood.”
“I’ll clear two hours.”
“Yes.”
Director Han didn’t ask where he was going. He probably already knew the answer. Inyoung was in the editing room with Reporter Yeom.
After finishing the morning item meeting and taking a brief break before lunch, she was going through various materials he had covered in the past.
Reporter Yeom, who was eating coffee and banana snacks bought by Wooyeon, glanced at her with dissatisfaction.
“Why are you reporting to the boss right now? Manager Song doesn’t do that much either.”
“I’m just sketching.”
“I know. Who doesn’t? So, do you see anything worth reporting?”
“Yes, a lot! Try touching each of these.”
“If you touch all of that, we’ll all die. I just hope they quickly approve the Syria coverage.”
“Why do you keep doing such dangerous things?”
“Because someone has to do it. By the way, I went to volunteer at Eunhyewon last weekend.”
“…”
Eunhyewon is a childcare facility in Paju.
Wooyeon knew that Reporter Yeom initially visited for coverage but has been going there every time she had free time for the past five years.
Thanks to that, Wooyeon also sponsors a certain amount to Eunhyewon’s children every month.
Reporter Yeom, who was shaking her legs awkwardly, looked at Wooyeon and spoke cautiously.
“Why did you say there’s a child who looks like you?”
Wooyeon responded with indifference while flipping through the materials.
“Yeonyu?”
“Oh, yeah. Jeong Yeonwoo. Can I really not meet him?”
“Yes, don’t see him.”
“It’s strange. I thought you would be interested, but whenever Yun Anchor talks about the orphanage, it feels like you’re subtly avoiding it.”
“It’s not easy.”
“What is?”
“Facing children who have been hurt. Knowing how they felt, enduring with what kind of heart, I know better than anyone.”
Reporter Yeom laughed.
“Are you lonely these days?”
‘Loneliness is a part of daily life.’ Wooyeon was about to respond like that when her vibrating phone interrupted her.
Checking the name of the caller, she perfectly changed the sentence she had to respond with.
“No, I’m not lonely.”
While showing the intention to answer the call, she slightly shook her phone.
Reporter Yeom shook hands.
At the corridor corner by the window, Wooyeon answered Taekyung’s call.
The summer sunlight pierced through the window, warming her forehead. She momentarily adjusted her voice.
“Yes, President.”
Do you have lunch plans? I’m thinking of going there now.
“To the broadcasting station?”
Yes.
Although he often mixed casual and formal speech, somehow, the current casual tone seemed unintentional.
Thanks to that, Wooyeon smiled warmly as the sunlight bathed her.
“No plans. Call me when you arrive.”
After hanging up, Wooyeon stood there for a while.
Thinking that Taekyung’s elder brother was Chairman Cho still stung her heart from time to time.
But she didn’t ask Taekyung. Even if it wasn’t a personal connection with Chairman Cho, she had many things she was curious about, but she didn’t want to pry into anything from him.
She just guessed.
Unlike the previous coverage content, that Cha Yunhwa’s man wasn’t such a good person.
The fact that being wealthy is bad, living like strangers for a long time. Maybe that, too, carries a deep scar.
Is it right to continue like this?
It might be a wrong choice. In the end, only the pain that cannot be saved may remain at the end of this road.
However. Taekyung’s gaze was comforting. His embrace was too sweet.
“Sigh….”
Wooyeon swallowed the sweet pain.
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…?
