“No, Dad’s not home. He and Mom went to see a movie about 30 minutes ago.”
Sa Jun almost laughed aloud at Yeonseo’s response. To think Min Seontae had the audacity to watch a movie comfortably after what he did to Min Taehui’s face.
Struggling to calm his boiling insides, Sa Jun reminded himself.
Min Seontae’s retribution can wait; the priority now is medicine.
“Taehui’s half-sister, which pharmacy is open around here at this hour?”
“The Sunshine Pharmacy on the ground floor of the hospital building at the street corner is open until 10 PM, why?”
As Sa Jun turned to leave, checking his watch, Yeonseo reached out to him.
“I was actually going to the pharmacy too, let’s go together!”
Ignoring her hand, Sa Jun scowled.
Is she joking about getting medicine?
“Don’t you dare touch me recklessly, I might bite.”
Yeonseo was the type he despised most: a fake, relying solely on her appearance to be treated like a princess.
Already annoyed by Min Seontae and now Yeonseo, unfiltered words flowed from him.
“If you don’t understand, shall I repeat? Don’t try to flirt with me. You’re not my type.”
Seeing the pain in Yeonseo’s recoiled hand and her large, tearful eyes quivering, Sa Jun felt no pity. Where others might have been fooled, he was not.
Even a minute in Yeonseo’s company was a waste.
It’s better to quickly get the medicine and go to Min Taehui.
Yeonseo spoke up with a watery voice.
“What if I said you can bite me? Would you fall for me then?”
Do I look like I bite just anyone? I choose who to bite. Deeming her unworthy of a response, Sa Jun turned to leave.
“You like Taehui unnie, don’t you?”
That one statement halted Sa Jun in his tracks.
Looking at him with narrowed eyes, Min Yeonseo spoke again.
“But unnie doesn’t even see you as a man. She’s just using you, right?”
Sa Jun couldn’t respond. He was angry, but she wasn’t wrong.
As if it wasn’t enough to hear this from Jinwon, now even Min Yeonseo was saying the same. It was disgusting.
Misinterpreting Sa Jun’s silence, Yeonseo confidently continued.
“So, date me. Or at least pretend to. Then, unnie will start to see you as a man. It’s all because of me that she approached you 13 years ago.”
Sa Jun curled his lips mockingly, finally speaking.
“Go on.”
“Since the day unnie moved next door, she has hated you terribly, afraid you’d steal her top rank at school. Why else would she approach you?”
“…….”
“She’s jealous of me. She’s always envied me since we were born. She wants everything I have, not just the family but also the men I like.”
Yeonseo was sure of her thoughts as she observed Sa Jun in silence.
Even if it’s fake or real, starting a relationship would only be a matter of time before pushing Min Taehui aside and claiming Kang Sa Jun for herself. He might be a free spirit, but in this aspect, he’s naively devoted.
The proof was none other than Min Taehui herself.
How else could someone with such a fickle nature keep someone like the prickly Min Taehui by his side for 13 years?
“I genuinely like you, but if you choose unnie, I’ll let you go coolly. Just give me a chance, okay?”
“Min Taehui’s half-sister.”
Yeonseo felt slighted. Despite knowing each other for years, why was she always just Taehui’s half-sister?
“Done talking?”
“It seems so… why?”
“Just wondering. That was entertaining. Haven’t had a good laugh in a while.”
His lips curled into a sarcastic smile, but his black eyes were intimidatingly cold.
“Damn, I listened to that nonsense for three minutes.”
With that, he turned and walked away without a second glance.
Left alone, Yeonseo’s pride was deeply wounded.
I went this far, and he just walks away?
Her eyes burned with fury as she glared at a house.
“It’s all because of that wretched girl.”
Referring to Min Taehui, who had snatched Kang Sa Jun from her grasp 13 years ago.
“Can’t help myself with these macarons,” Taehui mumbled happily, eating her seventh one, washing it down with a sip of strong Americano. The sweetness melting her brain made her momentarily forget everything.
“See, this is why I can’t quit you.”
Noticing Sa Jun, who had returned with medicine and changed into comfortable clothes, she saw him sitting against the bed’s headboard, looking quite serious.
Was he worried about what he mentioned earlier?
‘I can ignore it, but grandpa’s making a big deal about it. Telling me to date or get married.’
It must be serious for Sa Jun, given his distaste for the things he hated most.
What a day for both Sa Jun and me.
Her head felt like exploding, but she decided to first help Sa Jun with his worries.
Approaching the bed with the box of macarons, Sa Jun finally looked at her and frowned.
“Finish eating those in the kitchen. I hate crumbs on the bed.”
“Didn’t know men could be too neat. That’s a turn-off, you know?”
At her retort, Sa Jun chuckled.
“When have I ever been lucky for you?”
“No, you’re always the unlucky one.”
Internally grumbling, Taehui leaned back against the bedhead, mirroring Sa Jun’s posture.
“So, tell me. What should I do for you?”
“……What are you talking about?”
“To make up for the macarons.”
“If I say, will you really do anything?”
“Of course.”
Whatever Kang Sa Jun would ask for, it was always predictable.
It was always trivial and annoying stuff. Like reading a book for days to put him to sleep, making his favorite food, watching a movie together, or picking things out for him.
Of course, those were pretty much the only things she could do for Sa Jun.
“Min Taehui.”
When Sa Jun called her, Taehui turned her head without much thought.
But maybe they were sitting too close. Just turning her head brought them uncomfortably near.
Why does he have to be so good-looking? His gentle breath brushed her face, and his deep black eyes entangled with hers.
“Don’t you think of anything when you see me?”
“Uh, no, not really.”
Contrary to her calm response, her heart started pounding again. Maybe if she didn’t look at his face, her heart would calm down.
Closing her eyes, Taehui muttered loudly on purpose.
“Ah, I’m sleepy. Full and drowsy.”
The night breeze blowing through the wide-open terrace felt pleasantly cool.
She had her fill of macarons, and Kang Sa Jun was right beside her.
Her heart gradually settled, feeling surprisingly at ease.
Maybe not looking at Kang Sa Jun’s face was the solution.
Drifting towards sleep due to the accumulated fatigue, Taehui was unaware that Sa Jun was intently gazing at her lips.
“Min Taehui, you said you’d do anything I want, right?”
“Yeah.”
“I have something to confirm with you. Can I?”
“Sure. Go ahead.”
Really, he’s so annoyingly talkative today. Not like Kang Sa Jun at all.
“No violence, okay?”
“Fine, just hurry up……!”
In her eagerness to sleep, Taehui carelessly responded but then stopped.
A soft, warm sensation gently pressed against her lips.
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…?
