As Ina turned around, Jiwon held the earring he had chosen up to her ear.
Ina blinked and looked at him, and Jiwon softly smiled, saying, “Everything looks pretty on you.”
“… …”
Suddenly, her heart began pounding wildly as if under bombardment.
Feeling overwhelmed by this unexpected assault, Ina quickly turned her head away.
“What’s wrong?” Jiwon asked.
“Huh? Oh, it’s nothing.”
Ina, covering her burning cheeks, was speaking when Jiwon presented both the earring she had chosen and the one he had picked to the shop attendant.
“Please ring up these two.”
Startled, Ina turned to Jiwon.
“Huh? No, I should pay.”
Ina reached for her handbag, but Jiwon had already offered his card.
“I want to buy them for you,” Jiwon said with a gentle smile.
As Ina’s heart prepared for another round of pounding, she quickly turned around and took a deep breath.
‘Heart, stop acting up. Please!’
Ina internally pleaded with her heart, unheard, as the clerk handed Jiwon a paper bag containing the earrings.
“Your boyfriend has a good eye.”
“…….”
Ina’s heart started another encore to the relentless beat, as if testing her today.
‘Why is this happening? Really?’
Confused, Ina’s eyes wandered aimlessly. Jiwon, without expressing agreement or disagreement, took the paper bag from the clerk.
He then smiled and handed it to Ina.
“Here.”
“Huh? Oh… thank you.”
Ina took the bag, biting her lip gently.
Shortly after leaving the shop, Jiwon checked the time.
“It’s almost 6 PM. Shall we go for dinner?”
“Huh? Oh, should we?”
Ina nodded, gripping the paper bag in her hand.
“I looked up earlier, and there’s a decent steakhouse nearby. Do you like steak?”
Ina, who would wake up from sleep for steak, nodded meekly, still drained from the emotional rollercoaster she’d been on.
“Yeah, I like it.”
“Great. Let’s go there.”
They slowly walked towards the steakhouse.
Being the weekend, they had to wait about 30 minutes, so they wrote down their names and waited outside.
Ina could feel the glances of women sneaking peeks at Jiwon.
She had experienced the same situation at a spaghetti restaurant recently, but the feelings now were entirely different.
Back then, it was just a passing thought of ‘Jiwon is still popular,’ but today, something had changed.
Feeling the same admiration for Jiwon that other women were likely feeling, Ina was embarrassed and awkward beyond endurance.
Jiwon had always been just Juhee’s brother and nothing more to her, so these sudden, unfamiliar feelings were confusing.
Embarrassed by these emotions, Ina’s cheeks flushed.
Trying to hide her red cheeks, they were soon led to their table.
After sitting down and receiving the menus, Ina quickly opened hers to cover her face.
Jiwon, silently looking at his menu, glanced up as Ina lowered hers to look at him.
Seeing Jiwon, chin propped on his left hand, gazing at the menu, made Ina swallow hard.
His deep eyes, sculpted nose, and irresistibly attractive lips caught her attention, and her heart started to race again.
‘Wow, Seo Ina, are you really going crazy? Why are you acting up all of a sudden?’
While questioning herself, Jiwon looked up from his menu at Ina.
Startled when their eyes met, Ina’s eyes widened.
“What’s wrong?”
Jiwon asked, finding her behavior strange. Ina quickly shook her head.
“Huh? No, did you choose?”
“Hmm, the B set looks good. What do you think?”
“Huh? Oh, I like the B set too. I really like it!”
Without even knowing what the B set was, Ina nodded vigorously. Jiwon burst out laughing.
“You like it that much?”
“Huh?”
Jiwon had asked about the B set, but Ina’s face turned red up to her ears.
Seeing this, Jiwon smiled and pressed the bell to call the server.
“Ina, you must be really hungry. Let’s order quickly.”
A moment later, a server arrived, and Jiwon ordered two B sets. He then poured water into a cup and handed it to Ina.
Ina, who had been tense for a while, took the cup and drank eagerly.
As the cold water traveled down her throat, it seemed to calm her a bit.
Having emptied the water in one go, Ina put down the cup with a thud, prompting Jiwon to pick up the water bottle again.
“You must be really thirsty. Want another glass?”
“Huh? Oh, yes.”
Ina quickly extended her glass.
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…?
