Late at night.
Jaeik, who received Prosecutor Lee Sungmin’s call while sleeping, came out to the living room in his pajamas.
“Oh, really?”
His gaze, looking down at the cityscape through the dark window, seemed indifferent, as if hearing the news that a bug had died.
“That’s unfortunate.”
Contrary to the words that came out, the corners of his mouth reflected in the window rose slightly.
[Dash] Teacher Bong Hyojin is said to still be alive.“What?”
He didn’t die with Hwang Taesung?
Are there cases as absurd as this?
“How did Choi Kyo-hwan know about that place and show up?”
Suddenly, irritation filled Jaeik’s eyes, who had lost sleep.
[Dash] The police say they’ve been tracking Hwang Taesung since he entered the country.Not knowing this, Jaeik, who used Hwang Taesung and got his tail stepped on, bit down on his molars until they broke.
But what could Choi Kyo-hwan do? Anyway, Hwang Taesung has already gone to the afterlife.
Even if Choi Kyo-hwan points to him as the mastermind, all charges can be turned back on the dead Hwang Taesung.
[Dash] The charges against Hwang Taesung will be concluded due to the death of the defendant.Moreover, Lee Sungmin, holding a knife, is in my grip.
“In about two weeks, I plan to officially join the party and declare my candidacy for the presidency. I hope you’ll be with me then.”
Jaeik, who had regained a sense of ease without realizing it, had a satisfied smile on his lips.
[Dash] Of course, you should go and congratulate him.The prospective son-in-law of the next presidential candidate, Kang Jaeik. If he handles this case well, he will likely become the head of the business sector instead of Choi Kyo-hwan.
“Then I’ll trust only you and end it here.”
Satisfied, he hung up the phone, and the look in Jaeik’s eyes as he looked down at the Han River’s night view through the dark window was tinged with greed.
Choi Kyo-hwan. What a pathetic guy.
Since my father and grandfather passed away, he should have been kicked out of Korea so that he couldn’t even set foot.
Although he tried to tie me up with a strategic marriage, it’s not too late.
Once I become president, I’ll crush that guy first.
Two weeks later.
After finishing the shower in the bathroom, Exchange came out and picked up the white shirt that his mother had prepared on the hanger.
Putting on the full-length mirror, sliding his arms into the sleeves, and buttoning up, there were no more bandages wrapped around his hands.
“Why don’t you meet Teacher Bong again?”
Jahyun, who came up to help him change clothes before the inauguration, silently watched Exchange putting on cufflinks.
“A suit would be better.”
As if turning away from what Exchange said, Jahyun picked up the single-breasted jacket in a darker shade, making it look more mature.
“Why? Because of me?”
I knew you would say that. If you want to meet, just meet.
“Even when you liked her, you didn’t notice, but now that you’re about to get married, are you afraid you might end up living with your mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law?”
“You know it well.”
Without denying it, Exchange put on his jacket, pulled the sleeves tight, and sharply adjusted the cuffs.
“Is your mother going to do the tie every week?”
Today is the day to repay the grudge of his deceased father and grandfather.
His deceased father would probably expect his wife, the mother, to do it every week.
“Okay, let’s do that, then.”
Jahyun, who hadn’t expected to be asked a favor by his son, happily pushed up his lips and tied a burgundy tie on his son’s shirt.
The touch of putting wrinkles between the knots, as usual, slowed down with longing.
“Your father. But still, wouldn’t he have closed his eyes until he died, without suspecting or harboring any resentment against that guy, calling him a friend?”
Is it rather fortunate?
At least he didn’t end his last moments resenting someone.
“He said he was lonely because he was an only son. He was delighted when he had siblings like when he started living in the same house. I don’t know why he left after having only you.”
Of course, even though he knew it was because of his active activities as a announcer at the time.
“If I had known he would leave so early, I would have had one more.”
Then he wouldn’t have been so obsessed with his only son, who was left alone instead of his deceased husband.
“If you marry Teacher Bong, you should have a sibling soon. Before the age difference becomes even greater. Even now, there’s a ten-year age difference.”
Exchange, who handed over the tie while lowering his gaze, turned the conversation.
“When are you going to the broadcasting station?”
Jahyun, a former announcer who decided to step forward to widely publicize Kang Jaeik’s downfall to the entire nation, asked.
“As soon as you go to work, I should leave soon too.”
“Take care. If anything happens, let me know.”
Sniff, Jahyun turned away from Exchange, avoiding a response.
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…?
