The executive meeting was incredibly long.
The same questions were asked over and over again. It was truly a meaningless time.
Complaining that his head was splitting, Dojun stuck out his tongue.
Even throughout the meeting, Dojun couldn’t focus properly.
There was no indication of Taeyeon reading the messages he sent.
Is she busy? What could she be doing?
Perhaps she’s already preparing for a vacation.
Still, wouldn’t she at least say goodbye to me?
Anyway, numerous thoughts like that seemed to entangle and explode in his mind.
After the meeting ended, he quickly escaped and called Taeyeon, but she didn’t answer.

Dojun had no choice but to call Mrs. Choi.
“Mrs. Choi, this is Cha Dojun.”
-Oh, Chief Cha!
Mrs. Choi’s voice saying that sounded different from usual.
It sounded urgent somehow.
Blood began to drain quickly from Dojun’s whole body.
“My wife isn’t answering the phone. Are you with her by any chance?”
Maybe she’s taking a long shower with the body wash I bought her.
He wanted to believe that.
-Chief Cha, Mrs. Choi told me I could leave because she thought you were leaving.

“But is there any problem?”
-It seems like Mrs. Choi just left a little while ago. I heard the sound of the front door closing.
“……. ”
And then, terrifyingly, Secretary Choi approached with a pale face.
Dojun could intuitively sense it.
He couldn’t help but burst into laughter, thinking it was absurd.
“Understood, Mrs. Choi. Take it easy.”
Taeyeon is not at home.
Even if he goes home, she won’t be there anymore.
No, maybe he won’t find her anywhere.

Realizing that fact, all the strength in his body drained away.
“Chief Cha, Mrs. Choi left the house a while ago and took a taxi.”
Dojun quickened his pace without a word.
Without looking at me. Without even greeting me. Was she really planning to leave like this?
Dojun asked directly.
“Where did she go?”
“For now, I told the security team near the house to follow her. According to the reports so far, it seems like she’s heading towards the terminal.”
The terminal.
Dojun stood still in his place.
“What should I do? Should I instruct them to hold her if she tries to buy a ticket when she arrives at the terminal?”

Of course, he wanted to do that.
The desire to escape, vividly depicted in the eyes of a startled rabbit, seemed to be glaringly clear in his eyes.
Once is difficult, twice is easier.
Huh. Dojun let out a short breath.
Even if he brings Taeyeon back, it would be pointless if he doesn’t eliminate the reason she has to leave.
While forcefully suppressing the rising emotions, Dojun coldly spat out his words.
“For now, make sure not to lose track of where she’s going.”
“Yes, understood.”
“Report to me intermittently.”
He waited patiently for the executive meeting to end, only to see Taeyeon again.
Over the weekend, I was too foolish, entertaining the idea that I could possibly change Taeyeon’s decision while being with her.

Secretary Choi cautiously spoke to the seemingly troubled Dojun.
“Chief Cha, nevertheless, shouldn’t you go home first?”
Home.
To an empty house without Taeyeon.
“Yeah, let’s go for now.”
Briefly stopping by, just thinking of grabbing a few clothes, Dojun resumed his steps.
Upon arriving home, Mrs. Choi, wearing a worried expression, welcomed Dojun.
“It seems Madam’s outing is extending a bit.”
Mrs. Choi must also be aware that this isn’t a typical outing.
Dojun, smiling silently, instructed Mrs. Choi to leave work for the day.

“Anytime you need me, please call, Chief Cha.”
“Yes, understood.”
Once Mrs. Choi left, the spacious house became even quieter.
“Jin Taeyeon…”
Even when calling out to her, there was no response.
Sitting side by side on the first floor, sharing warmth on the sofa for a while, Dojun slowly turned his head.
His gaze fell on the kitchen.
Why did the simple act of making chocolate cookies make him laugh endlessly?
Ascending the stairs to the second floor, Dojun thought,
“Still, back then, you must have been sincere to me.”
Taking another step, he pondered,

“Even now, perhaps your feelings linger with me.”
He hoped so.
“That way, when I handle a lot and go to her side, I can shake things up.”
Upon reaching the second floor, Dojun hesitated to open the bedroom door.
The bed where they lay side by side, whispering love, was now abandoned in a way that he couldn’t bear to see.
Dojun opened the dressing room door, grabbed a few clothes, and came out.
Rrrrr-
Somewhere, a continuous buzzing sound could be heard.
Wondering if it was coming from him, Dojun reached into his jacket pocket, but it was too quiet.
As if mesmerized, Dojun moved towards the source of the vibrating sound.

The sound was emanating from Taeyeon’s partially open room.
“…….”
He opened the door.
Maybe Taeyeon would appear miraculously.
Even if it was a bit of an extreme prank, Dojun could understand it generously.
Plop-
To still hold such futile hope after hearing that Taeyeon had already boarded the bus to Busan.
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…?
