After the hotel room service hours ended, we went to a nearby convenience store and bought wine.
“Yeah. I want to drink.”
“Here.”
Seo-jun handed me a glass of wine.
“Thanks.”
Seeing my gloomy expression, Seo-jun smiled faintly.
“Is it regretful?”
“Then! How much is it for one night here? Huh? Ah… the checkout is at 12?”
I ran again to the sofa in the living room, where the night view was visible.
“You can come again.”
“Is that easy?”
Seo-jun, holding his wine glass, approached and sat next to me. Then he took my left hand. With one hand holding a wine glass and the other turning the ring on my left hand around and around.
“We don’t have to sleep tonight.”
Desire was hidden in Seo-jun’s low voice.
“I need to eat breakfast……”
My breakfast complaint was blocked by Seo-jun’s lips. Hot breaths exchanged between us. In the thickened breath, my mind became dizzy.
“Thank you.”
A brief opening. Before suffocating in desire, I said what I wanted to say to Seo-jun.
“For liking me. For proposing.”
In Seo-jun’s affectionate eyes, the reflection of my face with a reddish complexion appeared. After my words, Seo-jun’s lips, overlapping again, were only hot.
“Breakfast. My breakfast……”
The next day, inside a taxi heading home. I was lamenting the breakfast I ultimately couldn’t eat today.
“I’ll make you something delicious.”
“Your food is delicious too, but still, hotel breakfast……”
“What do you want to eat?”
“Pasta.”
“Okay. I’ll make pasta for you.”
Seo-jun with an appetite lazily stroked the ends of my hair with a content expression.
“But, is pasta free?”
“Where do you get that idea!”
“Hotel breakfast isn’t free either. It’s included in the accommodation fee.”
Who doesn’t know that? It felt unpleasant to suddenly receive money that I didn’t usually take, but it was too unpleasant. Smirking at my glaring eyes, Seo-jun whispered in my ear.
“Is ten kisses too expensive?”
After a quick grocery shopping, when I entered Seo-jun’s studio apartment, my phone battery was critically low. I quickly plugged in the phone charger.
[Finish up and come home early today.]It was a text from Mom.
What does she mean by finish up? I blushed and sent a message to my mom.
[I have to eat pasta.]“Wash your hands.”
After pressing the send button, Seo-jun came out of the bathroom and said to me.
“Yeah!”
I went to the bathroom, leaving my phone behind. As I turned on the water to wash my hands, I saw my left hand, and a laugh burst out at the unusually sparkling ring.
After drying my hands and going to the living room, I heard Seo-jun’s serious voice.
“Yes. Yes. I understand. I’ll leave right now. Yes. I got it.”
Having received a phone call while preparing ingredients, Seo-jun’s face had turned pale.
“What’s going on?”
“My mom went to the emergency room.”
“What? Why?”
“It seems something went wrong with what she ate yesterday. She’s been in pain since dawn, enduring it, but now she’s gone to the hospital.”
“Which hospital?”
“The one she used to go to.”
Seo-jun quickly went into the room, grabbed his clothes and wallet, then came out.
“Can you go home? I’ll contact you at the hospital.”
“Just wait a moment!”
I grabbed Seo-jun’s clothes.
“I’ll drive. Give me the car key.”
“But…”
Seo-jun, unusually indecisive. His trembling hand was visible. I took the car key from his hand, which had become damp with sweat.
“I’ll drive. Let’s go together. I’m worried about Mom too.”
Seo-jun nodded and handed me the car key. I quickly put on the coat I had brought and went down to the underground parking lot with Seo-jun.
Even though I’m in a hurry, why is the traffic so congested today?
“You’ll be fine. We all get upset stomachs when we eat something wrong, especially when we’re not feeling well. That’s why.”
“Yeah.”
I broke out in a cold sweat throughout the journey to the hospital. Despite the urgency, the road was congested, and driving an unfamiliar car made me tense. I was worried about the aunt, and Seo-jun next to me was also a concern.
Finally, we arrived at the hospital with great difficulty.
“Go in first. I’ll park the car and go straight to the emergency room.”
“Okay. I’ll rely on you.”
Hurriedly getting out of the car, I confirmed Seo-jun entering the emergency room and then drove the car to the parking lot.
“Mom. Did you hear that Aunt Yoon-hee came to the emergency room?”
After parking, I called my mom.
Yes. Mom also tried to come, but in the meantime, she insisted that I wait at home……. At times like this, I can see where Seo-jun inherited his stubbornness.
Mom seemed to be worried at home, following the aunt’s advice not to come to the hospital.
“Now that I’m at the hospital, I’ll check the situation and contact you.”
You have to contact me right away! Mom is going crazy!
“Got it.”
I hung up and went into the emergency room. Perhaps because it was daytime, the hospital was somewhat quiet. Inside, I could easily spot Seo-jun.
“Dah-yul came too? Seriously, I told you not to contact me.”
The aunt who discovered me scolded Mr. Seung-ho, who was next to her.
“Dah-yul was with me. I got a call, and I was so flustered that Dah-yul drove us here.”
“Oh, really? I’m sorry for the confusion. It’s probably nothing serious……. ”
“Yeah. Probably nothing serious. Just chew it thoroughly, as Dah-yul said.”
“Yeah. Just as Dah-yul said, chew and eat.”
The aunt laughed at my words.
“Here, only one guardian can stay, and the others wait outside, please?”
The nurse checked the numbers on the machines attached to the aunt’s body and recommended that the other guardians wait outside.
“Sure. Go out, have coffee, and wait. Okay?”
In the face of Mr. Seung-ho’s and Aunt Yoon-hee’s urging, Seo-jun and I finally left the emergency room.
“When will the test results come out?”
“In an hour and a half.”
“I see.”
It shouldn’t be a big deal, as the aunt said……. But it bothered me that she came to the emergency room with abdominal pain less than a year after the surgery. How difficult must it be for Seo-jun?
Seo-jun, who didn’t know about his mom’s cancer and surgery.
Although Seo-jun didn’t inform his mom at her request, I wasn’t entirely at ease. In the end, Seo-jun found out, and he poured heavy criticism on me. I still felt guilty.
“It will really be okay. Erase negative thoughts from your mind.”
All I could do was utter hopeful words without any basis. I took Seo-jun’s hand and pulled it towards me. Then, with my other hand, I gently patted the back of his hand.
Seo-jun’s cold hand tightly grasped mine.
Some time later.
Mr. Seung-ho came out of the emergency room.
“Sir! Did you get the results?”
“Yeah. Um… Can you two stay at the hospital for a while? I need to go home briefly.”
“Why?”
“They think it’s better to keep her under observation. I’ll prepare for her hospitalization at home, so can you two stay with Mom for a while?”
The grip in Seo-jun’s hand, which was holding mine, loosened. My hand slipped away from Seo-jun’s hand.
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…?
