Now that he had regained composure, Daejun looked at Hyesu suspiciously.
“Why… are you curious about that?
Hyesu didn’t provide a proper answer to Daejun’s question. Instead, she won his favor by shaking a envelope of money in front of him.
“Didn’t you say you urgently need money? If you let me know, I might be able to give you this money.”
Daejun, who had been on high alert, hesitated at the sight of the large sum of money in a long time. Hyesu, noticing this, whispered to Daejun.
“I’m just a bit curious.”
Daejun quickly grabbed the envelope of money and hurriedly left.
Meanwhile, Hyesu, who had obtained unexpected information, had a gleam in her face.
‘I might not be able to completely ruin Yoon Gaeul with this, but I can certainly leave a mark. Or, it might be quite fatal to Yoon Gaeul?’
With the brightest smile she had worn in a while, Hyesu made a call somewhere.
“Hello, Reporter Oh. It’s been a while.”
“…What’s going on again?”
“Again. So formal between us.”
It was Reporter Oh Byunghoon, who she used to call whenever she confirmed women approaching Giktae.
Despite Oh Byunghoon’s blunt response, Hyesu, with an unyielding smile, casually spoke.
“I have a favor to ask because there’s a story I want. Of course, there will be more benefits than usual, so it will be profitable for you too.”
That evening, Gaeul had dinner with Giktae after the interview. And as if it had become a natural routine, she ended up heading to his studio.
Gaeul, who had been playing with Paul until the sun set, found herself being carried by him like clockwork when it was time to sleep, and she ended up lying in bed as he took her to the bedroom.
Whether he had already guessed it when he picked her up or not, Gaeul looked at him as if he were cute, and as he scattered small kisses here and there, she gradually began to feel short of breath while looking at him sticking to her.
The air in the room instantly became heated, and it became more intense.
After pouring out kisses here and there for a while, he, who had been cuddling with Gaeul, buried his finger into Gaeul’s hand and, in a affectionate voice, murmured.
“Yoon Gaeul, I want to be with you for the rest of my life.”
In a tone mixed with petulance, Gaeul, without realizing it, burst into a small laugh.
“You’re already doing that.”
“What.”
Even though they had always been together when going to the gallery, spending time together after work, how could he want to be more by her side?
Thinking that he might even say that he would take her to the department store when he goes to work, Gaeul laughed. Although his words sounded like a joke, she didn’t dislike it.
She was very pleased to receive his constant love.
Since his actions always overflowed with love, it always felt complete, and rather than being too much, she felt that she was receiving more than enough love. It was a time when she always felt happy.
‘I’m happy……’
Suddenly, he brought his finger with the ring on it and swept it off. Then, he gently kissed the finger with the ring on it.
For a while, as he persistently swept the ring off and fiddled with it, he asked Gaeul.
“Gaeul.”
“Yes?”
“Aren’t you getting tired of the ring?”
“…This ring?”
“Yeah. It’s been quite a while.”
Really?
Whether it was because she cherished things or because this ring was precious to her, she didn’t get tired of it.
‘Does my heart still flutter every time I see this ring?’
Perhaps it was meant to never get tired of it for a lifetime.
Smiling widely, Gaeul tilted her head.
“No, I’m not tired.”
Regardless of the intention behind the question, Gaeul emphasized that she still liked it.
“I feel like I won’t get tired of it for a lifetime…”
Watching Gaeul like that, Giktae, as if he had heard an unexpected answer, erased his serious expression and laughed. Inside, Giktae thought,
‘How well will the proposal ring fit here?’
It was different from the couple ring he had bought on a whim, trying to give her a ring recklessly. This time, he carefully chose a ring that would suit Gaeul.
Of course, since he put so much effort into choosing, it would undoubtedly fit very well. But in fact, there wouldn’t be a ring that wouldn’t suit Gaeul.
With such slender and pretty hands.
When drawing, her fingers were bold and daring, small but more attractive than anyone else’s.
‘Ah, I don’t know anymore.’
I used to live according to plans, and it felt strange to become impulsive when I saw Gaeul. Now it felt like this was my original self.
Of course, it was limited to Gaeul.
As his feelings grew day by day, Giktae, as if he couldn’t help it anymore, quietly confessed his love into Gaeul’s ear.
“Yoon Gaeul.”
“Yes, CEO.”
“I love you.”
“…?”
“I love you, Gaeul.”
Startled by the sweet atmosphere, Gaeul, who had been laughing while looking at Giktae, opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Since his actions always overflowed with love, she always felt complete, and rather than being too much, she felt that she was receiving more than enough love. It was a time when she always felt happy.
‘I’m happy……’
Suddenly, he brought his finger with the ring on it and swept it off. Then, he gently kissed the finger with the ring on it.
It seems like we’ve been dating for quite some time, but Gaeul, who still feels embarrassed, looked cute to Giktae, who burst into laughter.
He whispered in Gaeul’s ear repeatedly, declaring his love.
“I love you, Gaeul.”
“…Hmm.”
“I love you, Yoon Gaeul. Why no response?”
Due to his face being buried, his expression was hidden, but the slightly revealed ear turned completely red, making Giktae burst into a satisfied laugh.
‘Ha, unfair.’
It had been quite a while since they started dating, so he should be more relaxed by now.
However, unlike me, who seemed very relaxed, Gaeul still felt awkward when he suddenly approached her with such expressions.
While Giktae, who appeared much more at ease, might have seemed comfortable, Gaeul felt unjustified about why she still didn’t know how to react when she saw him and why she was trembling. It was unfair that she couldn’t act as relaxed as he did.
‘…Huh?’
The beating of his heart that reached Gaeul’s ears sounded loud and fast.
Contrary to his relaxed attitude, the sound of his heartbeat was rapidly fluctuating, so Gaeul also finally laughed.
“Why are you laughing?”
At his sudden question about why she was laughing, Gaeul tilted her head and continued to giggle.
“Just because, I also really, really like you, CEO.”
“All of a sudden?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm, really?”
Looking at him suspiciously, Gaeul flashed a bright smile.
Even though one could pretend to be relaxed, it was impossible to completely hide physical reactions. Love manifested in these small things.
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…?
