“Ms. In Ha, shall we head to the cafeteria first?”
“Huh? Why?”
With wide eyes, Ms. In Ha asked.
“I’ll make a call then follow. You can go ahead and start eating.”
“Hmm… You should come quickly. It’s awkward eating alone.”
Ms. In Ha, seemingly disappointed, reminded me to hurry up before heading towards the cafeteria. I kept watching her until she was out of sight, then quickly darted towards the break room, clutching my phone.
Ring, ring, ring.
The ringing hadn’t continued for long before he picked up the call.
“You, what does that mean?”
“I’m near your office.”
“Our office? Did I tell you the name of the company?”
I couldn’t remember telling him the name of the company, no matter how hard I tried.
“No, you said it. You told me your office is near the company I’m going to, so I came in front of the S.T Corporation.”
Good heavens. At the news that he was right in front of the company, I quickly racked my brain. I didn’t have the ability to send him away since he was already here. In that case, I had to get rid of him from the front of the office…
“No, not there. If you go into the alleyway next to the drugstore at exit 1 of the station, there’s a small cafe. Wait there, I’ll come quickly.”
“What’s the name of the café.”
After telling Ji Seo Joon the name of the café, I hurriedly headed towards the company lobby. I left a message to Ms. In Ha, who might be waiting for me in the elevator, telling her that an urgent matter had arisen.
Upon arriving at the lobby, I hid behind a large sculpture and carefully looked around. The huge piece of art that I usually complained about for its ugliness turned out to be perfect for hiding me.
If he was standing there, there was no way I wouldn’t notice him immediately. Simply following the gazes of the surrounding women would lead me to him. Fortunately, there was no sign of him in sight.
I hastened my steps toward the café where I had told him to wait.
Although it was near the station, it was a café tucked away in a corner known only to a few. It was a place I occasionally visited when I wanted to be alone, away from my colleagues.
Hastily, I removed the company ID hanging around my neck and put it in my bag.
Ting.
As I entered, the café owner greeted me warmly.
“Welcome! It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”
“Yes, it’s been a long time, hasn’t it? Haha.”
I greeted the owner and looked around the café. There he was, leisurely reading a book with a cup of coffee in front of him in the corner of the café.
Be composed.
Casually ordering a coffee, I went and sat down in front of him.
“What brings you all the way here?”
Upon sensing my presence, he lifted his gaze from his book and closed it.
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
“You didn’t have to come all the way… We could have met after work…”
I looked around the café in case there was someone I knew, but fortunately, there was no one.
“Do you still not remember?”
“……”
Would my memory come back just by him saying so? I let out a deep sigh and shook my head.
“You know, is what you said true? That I…did what you said I did?”
“Yes, not a word of it was a lie. Why, do you want me to say it again?”
I covered my face with both hands. What on earth did my drunken other self want from this guy?
“At least…I used protection.”
Aaaargh!
What did he just say?
I was so surprised that I wanted to cover his mouth, but my arms were too short to reach him. I was a sad creature with short arms. If I were to believe his words entirely, then I was indeed a beast yesterday.
“Why, isn’t that an important issue?”
Well, indeed…
“But, still. Couldn’t you refrain from such explicit expressions? Hmm?”
Unable to cover his mouth, I pressed my palms against my ears as if to block out my own hearing.
“Your iced Americano is ready.”
The sound of my coffee order being ready came through clearly. Covering my ears was of no use.
I rose from my seat to receive my beverage and returned to my seat. I inserted the straw into the cup and nervously stirred it around, the ice making a clinking sound as it spun.
“Did you come all the way here to talk about that?”
“No.”
He picked up the espresso placed in front of him and elegantly took a sip.
“I just wanted to wrap up this matter.”
“What closure……”
I anxiously watched his lips, wondering what harsh words would come out of Ji Seo Joon’s pretty mouth. Then.
“Hey! Ji Seo Joon! You are so handsome…… Well, you do look a bit prettier when you’re eating well. This pretty mouth of yours.”
What was that? Did something just jog my memory?
Memories that began to resurface moments later.
“Hey. Noah. Eunna?”
It seemed like he was saying, ‘Hey. Let go. Will you let go?’
A faintly resurfacing Ji Seo Joon, with his mouth caught, gritting his teeth and glaring at me. I was definitely holding his pretty lips with my thumb and index finger.
I looked down at my fingers.
Was it memory manipulation? Or a visualization of my own desires?
I tried to dodge it for a moment, but the memory that came up was too vivid. Did I really shake Ji Seo Joon’s lips? Me?
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…?
