Instead, Ron seemed to be in even more pain than before.
“Hack… Huk… Save me. Save me… I can’t breathe…!”
He reached out with an earnest expression. However, it wasn’t time to be relieved yet. Not knowing when or how he might change, I silently observed Ron struggling.
“Empress Mama, should we leave him like that?”
“Wait. It’s still… I still don’t know.”
“Is it okay? Can he survive?”
Many questions were being thrown at me, one after another.
“I honestly don’t know yet. But… still, don’t worry; somehow, I will save him.”
“Ah… You don’t have to do this if it’s burdensome for you.”
As if he felt something, he awkwardly opened his mouth.
“…This is enough. Still, you tried. Still… you did something.”
“I won’t end it like this. If… if this method doesn’t work, we can just sustain his life like other sorcerers did. And… if we find another way later.”
“It’s really okay. Really. I couldn’t do anything until now, so just trying something… I consider it significant progress.”
But I continued to look at Ron without listening to his words.
“Please… Please. Stop it… It hurts… It hurts… Feels like I’m going to die. Please…”
The seemingly insane appearance disappeared somehow. The eyes that were filled with red veins returned to a normal color, and the erratic movements of the neck, which had been twitching like a crazy person, ceased.
Ah, maybe it’s because the body is hanging. Anyway, the situation wasn’t bad.
“Hyung… Hyung… Am I… going to die?”
“Considering what you’ve done, you’ll die, Ron.”
I intentionally provoked Ron more. It was a different approach than before, and I wanted to see if there was any change. Ron showed an unexpected reaction. Tears flowed from his eyes.
“It’s okay… I…”
Earlier, he had caused a commotion, saying he wanted to live, and now he was saying it’s okay.
“Cough… I… It’s okay… It’s okay… I… I don’t remember perfectly what I did… I think I caused harm. So, this is what will happen…”
I wondered if he was pretending. Was he trying to escape from there by using the excuse of pleading? However, I didn’t feel that at all.
“I don’t know what I lived for during that time. I just… had the desire to live… So, I did things I couldn’t understand. So… so, I made it difficult for you. I wanted to kill you…”
Occasionally, his groans were audible. Nevertheless, Ron didn’t stop speaking.
“I regret it… Just… I regret all those moments.”
I approached him step by step. Ron and Ken, although twins, emitted strangely different vibes. Probably because he wasn’t himself. All the things he did urgently were probably due to the thought that he had to live.
“If you regret it, don’t live like this anymore.”
I held his hand.
“Open your eyes when you’re completely back to yourself. And live like a human being. Make something else your purpose rather than just living.”
Warm energy, like the sunlight of a spring day, flowed into him. Ron, who had been shedding tears until a while ago, fell asleep. Perhaps thinking that there was no longer any danger, his body, which had been hanging from the spider threads, dropped to the floor. Ken quickly caught Ron.
“Ron, Ron! Are you okay?”
“He probably fell asleep.”
“Ah…,”
Maybe because the tension in his legs was released, Ken sat down on the floor. Then, he put Ron’s head on my lap. He, who had been staring at my brother for a long time with a helpless look, belatedly regained his senses and chuckled.
“I hate my brother.”
“Huh?”
“But, but it’s just words. Still, I hope he’s happy. I hope Ron lives like an ordinary person. Just… that’s my only wish.”
Ken was wiping Ron’s face.
“In truth, I pretended to be good. I also wanted to live. Just like an ordinary person. I didn’t want to live like a time bomb. I no longer wanted to carry the guilt of being alive just because I was considered superior to Ron.”
“Ken.”
“I’m a truly bad brother. Even so, I thought that way. I want to stop now. Why do I always have to feel guilty for being born a twin? I’m just born, why do I always have to be hated by people? Those were the days when I thought like that.”
What can I say? I sat next to him and quietly listened to Ken’s words.
“If you were so afraid, if you hated being a twin so much, someone should have stepped forward and chosen one to die. Whether it’s my parents or someone else… They should have killed us. If that happened, the desire to live wouldn’t have grown this much, and then I could have lived like an ordinary person.”
I always thought Ken was strong. Always living with a strong heart. But it wasn’t true. He had also experienced despair and hardship enough.
But he couldn’t say anything. Because he was the older brother. He seemed to know that feeling too well.
Even if it’s hard, because he’s a brother, because he’s an older brother. Even if it’s hard, he must not show it and pretend everything is okay.
When I was with Noah, I lived with such thoughts. Watching my younger brother who always looked at me.
So I understand Ken. I patted his head.
“It’s tough.”
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…?
