“I’ll let you know on the day this trip ends.”
“Why?”
“So that Jiho can make it more fun.”
‘Of course, Jiho’ was about to blurt out, but she barely stopped herself.
“10 minutes ahead. We’ll arrive soon in 10 minutes. Get ready for something fun.”
Get ready for something fun.
If that’s the case, she could do it ten or a hundred times. Perhaps Prosecutor Kang Jiho was already prepared to make Lajin have fun.
It was like that with the hamburger they ate in the dark garage, and it was like that when he came to her house with a bunch of flowers. Of course, it was most like that now.
With the sudden announcement of quitting and the proposal to visit a rural house, Lajin was momentarily flustered. She plunged into the night road, not seeing anything, responding to each other’s past stories like betting on who’s the best gossip.
At that very moment, when he turned the steering wheel to the right, the size of the trees reflected in the car headlights suddenly grew larger.
Although they had been driving on winding country roads for a while, suddenly, a well-paved road appeared with straight rows of trees on both sides, like entering a different world.
“Is this near the arboretum?”
It wasn’t the size of recently transplanted trees; they seemed to have been rooted in the same spot for a long time. Astonished by the giant trees for a moment, this time, she couldn’t close her mouth at the majestic entrance.
“What place is this?”
“It’s not an arboretum. It used to be a farm.”
Before she could ask more, a black iron gate appeared.
“Lajin, we’ve arrived.”
“Oh, here. But this isn’t a rural house.”
“For a rural house, it’s unnecessarily big.”
It wasn’t just big. It was difficult to estimate the exact size in the darkness, but the garden alone seemed to be hundreds of square meters.
Moreover, someone else seemed to be living there as the lights inside the house were brightly lit.
“Is there someone else here?”
“No. I asked the caretaker to turn on the boiler because I thought Lajin might be cold.”
“To whom did you ask?”
“To the caretaker who manages it.”
Lajin couldn’t continue asking more, wearing a bewildered expression. She just alternately looked at the magnificent house and Jiho. Come to think of it, Hojin had called him ‘rich brother.’
Although it wasn’t the time to judge a rural house that used to be a farm, he didn’t look like an ordinary rich brother.
“You won’t encounter anyone. Don’t worry and come down.”
“Oh, okay.”
Still dazed, Lajin picked up the backpack placed in the back seat. Then Jiho quickly snatched it away.
After releasing Lajin’s seatbelt, he crossed over to open the passenger seat door. Such a good brother with manners. Stepping onto the soft grassy yard, Lajin took Jiho’s hand.
“From now on, leave everything to me.”
Now, is it only the remaining interesting things? Lajin’s anticipation quickly rose.
Lajin, who unpacked her things in the large room on the first floor, wrinkled her nose.
“Ah! This is.”
It was clearly the smell of ramen. Following the scent like being possessed, Lajin’s eyes widened.
“Lajin, sit here.”
As if waiting, Jiho placed a large bowl of ramen on the dining table.
Lajin, who had been glancing at the clock in the kitchen, murmured inwardly.
“2 AM. Is it okay to eat this at this hour?”
To prevent swelling, Lajin had adhered to a low-sodium diet. Although she couldn’t remember the last time she had ramen, was it really okay? Fortunately, there was no filming schedule tomorrow.
What’s this ramen that emits white steam and is chewy? Lajin stood at a suitable distance as if in a standoff. She didn’t have the courage to approach willingly, but her mind was muddled by the familiar smell.
“You must be hungry after crying earlier.”
“But it’s too late…”
“That’s why you need to eat quickly before it gets even later.”
With some reasonable words, Lajin sat down as if she were bewitched.
Unnecessary worries only spoil the ramen; just eat quickly and digest it by moving energetically. But still, if it gets bothersome, should I concentrate on personal training? No, let’s try a bite first and think later. Lajin, whose rationality was paralyzed, unknowingly moved the chopsticks.
“Hmm!”
“Is it delicious?”
Lajin, who picked up the noodles with the spoon and put them in her mouth, nodded.
“Should I add cheese?”
“Do you have some?”
Without answering, Jiho placed a slice of bright yellow cheese.
‘Jiho is the best!’ Lajin silently repeated, cutting off the edge of the melting cheese. The combination of spiciness and richness made Lajin’s shoulders shake as if dancing.
“Eating alone is awkward. Jiho, please eat quickly too.”
“You’re eating well, so it looks good. Beautiful.”
As usual, even at the straightforward compliment of ‘you’re beautiful,’ she didn’t feel embarrassed. Instead, she nodded approvingly, boldly acknowledging it. Putting down the chopsticks with disappointment for the exposed ramen, Lajin asked, “What should we do now?”
“Shall we go up to the rooftop and watch a movie?”
“On the rooftop?”
He always suggests it when her mind is complicated, but although the exterior of the house looks old, it seems to have the latest facilities inside.
Already shaken by ramen, Lajin’s heart swayed violently at the idea of a rooftop movie theater. Repeating ‘fun’ in her mind, she twinkled her eyes.
“Watch the stars, watch a movie, and as we do, the sun will rise gradually.”
“Sunrise, I’ve never seen it before.”
Someone might think she’s trapped somewhere, but Lajin didn’t like going outside originally. It was enough to bask in the glamorous spotlight, and she preferred to live quietly whenever possible.
But is a life like this okay? Even such a doubt came up.
At that moment, Jiho pushed a bottle of water in front of Lajin.
“I’m glad I can be with Lajin for the first time.”
“It’s what I want to say. I’m really looking forward to it.”
Jiho’s proposal excited Lajin like an unopened gift.
“Until midnight today.”
“Yes.”
“If Lajin says, ‘It’s fun,’ ‘It’s good,’ or ‘I’m excited’ ten times, it’s a deal.”
Is this some kind of bet? Looking into Jiho’s eyes as she put down the water bottle, Lajin asked seriously, “Are you seriously considering my request? How about it?”
“As a reward for eating delicious ramen. Tell me, anything.”
“Us.”
“?”
“Let’s officially meet.”
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…?
