Since learning about Soeun’s surgery, Taejun hasn’t bothered her more than once. However, that one time tends to be quite intense.
After washing up again, Soeun quickly went to the kitchen and poured water into a cup. It was nothing unusual for her to take care of it first since Taejun had always done it whenever Soeun’s lips were dry.
A glass of water. Everything ends with a glass of water.
Even the hand passing the water cup seemed to have a pounding heart. She had to suppress her nerves, rolling her lips a few times to hide the constantly drying lips.
When Taejun, who had washed up, lifted the corner of his lips and took the water cup, Soeun handed it to him.
“What’s this? Is it my birthday or something?”
It meant being treated both in bed and outside of bed. It wasn’t something to be grateful for just a glass of water.
Even though she secretly wished to refuse, saying that she was okay, her body craved water. He emptied the water in the cup cleanly.
Now it’s done.
It’s over. The feeling of the whole body losing its vitality. His hands quickly became cold. Feeling numbness at her fingertips, Soeun clenched and released her empty fist.
Soeun quickly washed the water cup that Taejun had put on the sink. Despite Taejun’s attempt to hold her neck with his long arms as if telling her not to do that, Soeun promptly cleared the water cup.
“How about watching a movie and going to bed?”
“No, besides that, I have a favor. Can I join you in exercising tomorrow?”
To Taejun, who casually made a proposal as if today was passing by regrettably, Soeun offered a false plea. It was to make him fall asleep quickly.
“I want to see Director Lee exercising, and I want to try exercising too.”
Soeun, who was trying hard to live, looked adorable. She put more strength into her arms around his waist.
“Let’s go to bed early tonight and wake up early tomorrow to exercise.”
“Well, I guess so.”
Leading Taejun to the bedroom was such an easy task. But putting him to sleep was a new challenge.
Taejun had never fallen asleep before Soeun. He always slept after confirming that she closed her eyes.
But still, if he ate that, he would fall asleep within an hour.
Soeun lay next to Taejun, looking at him, who gradually blinked his eyes as if saying that he couldn’t fall asleep before her. With his eyelids fluttering slowly, he looked cute as if he couldn’t fall asleep before her. She wanted to keep the shining eyes longer in her mind.
He spoke slowly with his melted voice.
“Come to think of it, Han Soeun’s birthday is coming soon.”
“It’s still a month away.”
“A month is nothing. Is there anything you want to do?”
“….”
“Let’s take a vacation and play together then.”
“….What if we get caught?”
“Tell Park Bo-bae to take a vacation too.”
To her, who didn’t talk about the future lightly, he spoke about the future quite confidently.
I’ll take you to Bryce Canyon. When you recover, I’ll get expensive alcohol. The new summer clothes can wait until next year. Let’s date for ten years and then get married.
Now I understand. The numerous promises, commitments, and earnest requests about the future. It meant being by my side.
Stay by my side. Stay by my side until that blurry future becomes a vivid present.
Now I understand that feeling.
He, who gave an easy answer, blinked his eyes slowly. His long eyelashes were beautiful.
Looking back, the beautiful days that were nothing but love unfolded over his face like flipping through a photo album. In Soeun’s life without a single album, he could be the only person who could become a shining album.
My beloved love.
Even if it hurts, I think I can overcome it. The memory of someone loving me so passionately and fervently will be a great strength for me throughout my life. Whenever difficult times come, flipping through the album in my mind, I feel like I can gather strength.
I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I’m the only one with this beautiful memory.
Staring at Taejun’s closed eyes, she silently held her breath. His regular breathing sounded comforting.
Closing the album of her heart that had been opened, Soeun slipped out of bed silently. Now it was time to tidy up.
The person leaving should be cruel. It should be mean and nasty. What is left for the remaining person should be not beauty but resentment.
Soeun chose a watch.
Wristwatches displayed on one side of his dressing room. About ten wristwatches that were casually glanced at while passing by the dressing room were worth more than Soeun’s entire one-room deposit.
If she took about half of them, it would definitely cover the rent.
Soeun, who entered the dressing room, opened the display shelf of wristwatches. The landlord was sound asleep without knowing anything, and her heart pounded like an earthquake for her first-time theft. Carefully, Soeun selected only the ones that seemed to be the latest models. It was based on the judgment that the older the watch, the deeper the memories. She shouldn’t touch his other memories.
If you get angrier about the watches disappearing than about me leaving.
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…?
