“What?”
I quickly turned towards where Ji Han was, thinking I had heard wrong.
Seeing his brazen gaze, it was surprisingly not a slip of the tongue earlier.
“If you just come back, everything will go back to the way it was.”
“Didn’t you hear what I said earlier?”
Why wasn’t he understanding?
I had clearly declared a divorce, and yet I scowled at Ji Han who was saying that all I needed to do was come back.
“I said I would do better. There’s plenty of room for improvement, for me.”
Looking up at him as if to ask, is that what you should be saying, he had an expression that looked genuinely wronged.
I was at a loss as to how he intended to mop up the water that was already spilled.
“Sigh. It was just a passing fancy. I succumbed to curiosity and got involved, that’s all.”
“……”
“There was no emotion.”
I tightly sealed my lips, fearful that harsh words laced with curses would spill out.
A hot flush swept over me, and no matter how much I pressed on my throbbing temples, the headache didn’t subside.
“To say that you would marry my brother over a woman you just met before marriage, that’s not right.”
‘You crazy man.’
My tightly closed lips quivered.
“You have to consider the external perspective. You are soon to be W, Ho Jin.”
Even after hearing the fact that Seo Rin was pregnant, he shamelessly called it a curiosity.
‘So, you want to love with Seo Rin, and expect me to fulfill the role of the wife?’
He would whisper sweet nothings that were incomparable to anything else in the world with Seo Rin, enjoying pleasure, yet the responsibility and forgiveness were mine to bear.
“Ji Han. Who gets pregnant with a passing fancy?”
Ji Han, half out of his senses, shook his head in confusion and then approached me.
The situation of having to face him was unbearably repulsive.
“Listen to me! No, get in the car. Talk to me on the way.”
Ji Han was coming forward as if trying to explain something that had already ended.
“I will take care of the child’s issue.”
I wondered how he intended to solve the problem of a child that already existed.
And the moment Ji Han grabbed my wrist, Jae Ha came forward and twisted Ji Han’s arm.
“Seo Ji Han, what the hell are you doing?”
Jae Ha’s face contorted uglily, seemingly angry at Ji Han exercising force on me.
“Ha. Will you let go of my hand?”
“Rather, you should let go.”
Despite his twisted wrist, Ji Han was still holding onto my wrist.
My face contorted in pain due to his surprisingly strong grip.
“Seo Ji Han!”
Seeing my pained face, Jae Ha forcibly knocked his hand away and shoved Ji Han to the ground.
“Bastard! Look with your eyes! Can’t you see she’s in pain?”
Only then did Ji Han shift his gaze to me, who was panting roughly while clutching my wrist.
“Get in the car.”
Jae Ha opened the car door to prevent Ji Han from coming any closer and tried to seat me in the passenger seat.
Watching the scene, Ji Han got up from the ground with a snicker.
“Ha, aren’t you the same as me?”
I turned around at the sound of Ji Han’s voice as I was about to get in the car.
Somehow, he had gotten up and was looking at Jae Ha and me, wearing a twisted smile.
“It seems like you’ve also been having an inappropriate relationship with my brother all this time. Isn’t it the same?”
“…What?”
Laughing as if out of his mind, Ji Han smirked at us.
Just as anger started to boil within me towards Ji Han, Jae Ha’s broad back blocked my view.
“Don’t treat everyone the same just because you’re like that.”
“…….”
“Listening to what you’re saying now, it’s clear how you’ve treated her normally.”
Ji Han’s gaze on Jae Ha and me seemed to cool, as if he was regaining his senses.
“Stop saying nonsense about it being fine if only you come back, and go take care of your woman.”
Jae Ha’s softspoken words deflated my anger. How could this man say exactly what I wanted to say?
However, Ji Han seemed extremely displeased by that remark, deeply furrowing his already narrowed brows.
‘I told you not to cross the moral line.’
“I am no longer interested in the issue of the child. Whether you deal with Chae Seo Rin or not is none of my business.”
I stared back fiercely at Ji Han, who couldn’t take his eyes off me, and spoke clearly and precisely.
“You won’t be in my life anymore.”
So, live this life as a couple with Chae Seo Rin.
I turned my gaze away from Ji Han, who was staring blankly at me, and got in the car.
Jae Ha, who had been looking down at Ji Han as if he was pathetic, followed me and sat in the driver’s seat.
Ji Han’s frantic gestures faded away in the rearview mirror.
.
.
.
There was no conversation between us for a while, even as we drove on the road after leaving Pyeongchangdong.
Perhaps Jae Ha was also bothered by the silence, as he subtly started a conversation.
“Aren’t you hungry?”
“We just had dinner.”
Jae Ha asked as if he had forgotten that we had all dined together in Pyeongchangdong.
Of course, it was as good as not eating. When I turned my gaze sideways, Jae Ha was looking ahead and smiling faintly.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
