As Ina tried to pass Jung-hoon, he suddenly grabbed her wrist.
“You really want to do this? Who says you can end it? How can you do this to me?”
“What? How can I do this? How can you do this? Don’t you have a conscience in your shallow brain? You tried to drag me away and now you show up here in the morning making a fuss! Making a fuss?”
Jung-hoon, taken aback by Ina’s fierce swearing, stumbled back.
Seizing the moment, Ina jerked her hand free as two men passing by looked at them, sensing something was wrong.
“Do I need to scream for help from these people for you to leave?”
Ina hissed in a threatening tone, and Jung-hoon looked at her, dumbstruck.
“Don’t ever show up in front of me again. I don’t want to see your face.”
Ina pushed Jung-hoon away and walked off.
Jung-hoon watched Ina’s retreating figure, biting his lip.
Ina, feeling utterly sullied by the encounter with Park Jung-hoon, barely managed to get to work.
However, upon entering the office, she forced a smile and greeted her colleagues.
As she sat at her desk and turned on her computer, she felt numb.
Shaking her head and about to stand up with her mug, her phone rang.
It was Juwon.
Ina hesitated for a moment before answering the call.
“Hello?”
[Dash]Did you get to work okay?“Oh? Yes…”
[Dash]Nothing happened over the weekend?
“Uh? Yes. Nothing happened.”
She swallowed the words, ‘that guy came looking for me this morning,’ keeping them to herself.
Ina didn’t want to spread her sullied mood to Juwon.
“Okay. Thanks. See you later.”
After hanging up, Ina felt a strange sensation.
Despite it being her first call with Juwon in 13 years, it strangely felt natural.
There was a sense of familiarity, as if they had been in touch continuously.
Ina took her cup and went into the break room.
The day flew by with a morning meeting with the HR team and afternoon meetings with department heads.
As 6:30 pm passed, employees began to leave one by one.
Ina was also preparing to leave, organizing her papers, when a message notification sounded.
[Dash]I’ll be there in about 10 minutes. See you out front. [Dash]Okay. Got it.After replying to Juwon’s message, Ina turned off her computer and stood up.
While taking the elevator down with her female colleagues, Ina felt slightly worried.
She had been so confrontational, but what if Park Junghoon was waiting outside the office? She felt a bit tense at the thought.
Fortunately, when she got out of the elevator and scanned the front gate, she saw no sign of Junghoon.
Relieved, Ina said goodbye to her colleagues at the front gate.
“Deputy Seo is having her boyfriend pick her up again today, right? I’m so jealous. Really.”
Park, a working mom, said this, and two other female colleagues looked at Ina enviously.
Ina replied with an awkward smile, and Eun-jung, the youngest employee, laughed.
“If I had a girlfriend as pretty as Deputy Seo, I would pick her up every day too.”
“Ahh, what’s this? Eun-jung, are you still fawning over someone after work?”
Park teased, making Eun-jung blush, and then she laughed heartily.
“Ayu. So cute. That’s why you’re the youngest. Just joking. Everyone in HR knows how pretty our Deputy Seo is. What, only our team knows? There were quite a few in Sales who had their eyes on Ina.”
“No, Manager. Aren’t you overestimating me? You should hurry before the traffic builds up. I have to go this way. See you tomorrow.”
Ina bowed and greeted Park, who gestured for her to go ahead.
“Go ahead, quickly. Your boyfriend must be waiting for you. Hoho.”
With an awkward smile, Ina turned and sighed as she walked away.
During their relationship, Junghoon often sent flowers to Ina, along with snacks for the HR team.
Thanks to this, Ina was seen as the lucky girl with a ‘romantic boyfriend’ by her female colleagues, who envied her.
But they didn’t know about the frightening obsession hidden behind it, so every time they expressed envy, Ina just smiled.
Suddenly feeling a headache, Ina touched her forehead and slowly walked, when her phone rang.
It was Juwon.
“Hello?”
[Dash]I’ve arrived. I’m across from the bookstore. It’s a black SUV.“Really? Okay. I’ll be right there.”
Ina ended the call and hurried towards the bookstore.
Soon, she saw a black SUV parked opposite the bookstore.
Juwon was leaning against the passenger side, a stark contrast to the hoodie and jeans he wore on Friday. He was now in a neat black suit.
Even from a distance, Juwon’s tall, model-like figure shone brightly.
As Ina walked toward Juwon, she noticed nearby women glancing at him.
‘Yeah… he looks handsome to me, so I can only imagine what they must think…’
Muttering to herself, Ina suddenly caught herself off guard.
What am I even saying…
Feeling embarrassed, she touched her cheek as she approached, and Juwon, noticing Ina, took his hands out of his pockets and smiled.
“…”
Captivated by his smile, which felt as refreshing as a spring breeze, Ina’s heart fluttered momentarily.
“Arrived?”
Juwon stepped forward, looking down at Ina with a gentle gaze.
“Uh? Oh…”
Unable to look directly into his eyes, Ina shyly lowered her head and replied.
“Let’s go.”
Juwon walked to the passenger side and opened the door for her.
“Uh… thanks.”
Ina slowly climbed into the passenger seat.
Feeling puzzled by her own heart’s recent fluttering, she gently bit her lip.
After closing the passenger door, Juwon returned to the driver’s side and got into the car.
“Aren’t you going to buckle up?”
Lost in thought, Ina jolted at Juwon’s words and hurriedly fastened her seatbelt.
Juwon, with his hands on the steering wheel, watched her and chuckled softly.
“Shall we start then?”
At the sound of Juwon’s voice, with a slight upward curl of his lips, Ina involuntarily swallowed and nodded.
“……Yes.”
She quickly averted her gaze, still feeling a bit flustered.
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…?
