However, Ga-eul acknowledged that her previous thoughts were wrong when she saw Kitae’s back, leaning against the gallery wall.
Kitae quickly opened the box. Inside, a pair of rings that looked like a couple’s were beautifully placed. He took out a small ring and, as if snatching Ga-eul’s hand again, took it away.
“Why suddenly rings…”
“Put it on. It’s yours.”
“I don’t wear rings…”
“…”
Kitae tried to forcibly put the ring on Ga-eul’s hand.
Ga-eul, who had widened her eyes for a moment, folded her hands and subtly pulled it out, cautiously lowering her head.
“It’s okay. And, I… I never asked Chairman for a ring.”
In the end, facing Ga-eul, who rejected even the ring, a chilly voice escaped from Kitae’s lips.
“Are you okay? Is it because you don’t want to wear it?”
“What?”
Despite the rising irritation, Kitae, who barely held on to his reason, asked Ga-eul again in a gentle tone.
“Say it with your own mouth.”
It was to give her a chance to explain this annoying situation by herself.
“…”
“…”
However, Ga-eul missed even that opportunity.
Kitae, who held back his boiling anger, finally spoke with a calm voice. He took a deep breath, and his chest rose roughly.
Kitae, who usually spoke candidly and boldly, stopped saying what he wanted to say and, after a short pause, honestly expressed what he felt.
“Why. Were you worried that I, who was going to meet you briefly and part, would stand in your way? So…”
Trying not to leave a trace?
He didn’t want to say these words.
He wanted to believe it wasn’t like that.
But everything she did felt that way. From hiding it from people around her to rejecting the ring.
Before he knew it, Kitae had a wounded expression.
Kitae frowned as if stabbed in the chest with a knife.
In the end, with a loud snap, he closed the ring case. Inside, the ring that Ga-eul didn’t wear was back in its place.
He didn’t intend to hand it over so pitifully. He wanted to deliver it gracefully.
But even the ring was rejected, and his heart boiled. Clenching his fist, Kitae barely passed by Ga-eul before leaving the office.
Before leaving, he only showed his back and said, “Sorry, but I can’t take you today.”
Is my dating with you that meaningful to you?
He felt like he might ask a question that would eventually become a wound.
It had been two days since he last saw Ga-eul’s face.
Kitae woke up early in the morning for work, despite not getting a good night’s sleep. However, unlike usual, he didn’t immediately get up but wiped his face with his big hand.
Even though he heard the usual advice to take it easy, the things he usually did, like breaking the sleep, felt useless and annoying today.
It was all because of Ga-eul.
Kitae sighed and, before he knew it, a laugh close to a chuckle escaped him.
The petite woman now constantly held something small in her hand and shook it ceaselessly, either to please or to hurt. It was something only Ga-eul could do.
Kitae looked at the empty seat beside him. Despite feeling embarrassed, he remembered Ga-eul, who would meet his eyes with a shy smile when their eyes met. In the meantime, he wanted to see her face again.
Anyway, he didn’t plan to end it like this. Even if he wanted to end it, his heart had already swelled so much that he couldn’t do it. He knew he would go back to her.
However, Ga-eul didn’t think about their future.
And… it was bitter to think that she tried to hide her existence and even rejected the ring.
“This is beyond words.”
Kitae, who got up from bed, went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on his face from the early morning.
Anyway, he planned to go to Ga-eul first. It would be resolved through conversation.
But…
He had never received a wound like that from anyone.
The pain from the wound received from Ga-eul groaned painfully, and he needed some time to calm his mind.
Ga-eul sat on the floor of the workshop with her head buried.
The shoulders that had been shaking for a while suddenly slumped. The raised head and pupils were filled with a reddish glow.
Ga-eul regretted her actions and continued to shed tears.
I made a big mistake. So, I gave a big wound to the Chairman.
In fact, hiding the relationship with him was purely due to my greed.
I wanted to stay by his side longer.
I tried to hide the relationship in front of people who knew the Chairman, as if the Chairman might find out.
It was just because I wanted to continue the pure relationship with him for a long time.
Would Chae Hyesu, the woman, say something to the Chairman as she did before? That was frightening.
But that wasn’t his concern. He didn’t know. It was just his own situation.
He had to tell him what he was thinking directly.
But he couldn’t say it because of his petty pride.
I wanted to hide it because I thought the Chairman would oppose me being with him. The Chairman probably thinks I’m not a woman suitable for him.
The words didn’t die down.
Admitting that she was a woman who didn’t matter. Because she seemed to acknowledge herself as a woman not worthy in front of him.
“Ha…”
Ga-eul’s agitated breath gradually calmed down. After tapping her cheeks harshly, she got up, pushed open the workshop door, and stepped outside. The fresh air helped clear her mind a bit.
‘But should I keep doing this? You should apologize first.’
Ga-eul, who left the workshop, wiped her face with her sleeves and walked to the gallery.
I wanted to apologize in person,
,
Ga-eul lingered in front of the gallery at a time when he might come to the gallery. However, he didn’t show up.
‘Just a little more… just a little.’
He must be working late. Ga-eul repeated this in her mind, suppressing the tears that were welling up again. However, his traces were nowhere to be found.
Meow.
A kitten approached Ga-eul’s side. Ga-eul, pressing her eyes with her sleeves, approached and gently stroked the cat’s fur, which was rubbing against her head.
It was a very young cat. However, its mother was not in sight.
Ga-eul murmured.
“You must be lonely too…….”
I’m lonely too.
Just the fact that he wasn’t there made her feel empty inside. It felt like her heart was pierced through.
Maybe I was too disappointed, and that’s why our relationship ended like this…?
Ga-eul’s stomach churned with vague anxiety.
She could call him now or go directly to his officetel.
However, realizing that he was intentionally avoiding her, the little bit of courage that had brought her to the gallery seemed to wither away.
Ga-eul stood in front of the gallery, unable to make a decision for a long time.
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…?
