Seoyeon felt shivery as if her heart was trembling when she returned home, immediately taking a warm bath.
“Ha…”
The sound of water droplets falling from the square-shaped faucet, matching the rhythm like a breath. And the continuous tears and terrifying warnings that kept coming to mind.
Why does her grandfather, who has lived for decades raising his son and grandchildren, torment such a kind person? Seoyeon couldn’t believe it.
Then, Yoonseon’s words suddenly came to mind.
“Ms. Seoyeon, marriage is a reality. Don’t even start if it’s a household that seems likely to make you live a difficult life, even if you love a man.”
With countless thoughts weighing down her mind, Seoyeon leaned her head against the edge of the bathtub.
Feeling the warm water gently enveloping her throat, she slowly organized her thoughts.
“Let’s first contact Ms. Sehee.”
Someone who knows about the relationship between Kwonyul and her from start to finish. Moreover, Sehee seemed like someone who could ask explicit questions to Kwonyul, something Seoyeon couldn’t do.
“Whew… There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Not wanting to be immersed in continuously attacking negative thoughts, Seoyeon shook her head.
Seoyeon emptied her mind again, and as she washed herself, she selected the questions she would ask when she went out. Especially the tips for dealing with his terrifying grandfather…
Suddenly, her parents’ faces came to mind. She only thought about their faces, but for a moment, intense emotions surged up.
How disappointed would her parents be if they knew that she was making such an absurd plan and wringing her hands?
Probably, they would scold her, asking where she lacked and might even advise her to meet Minhyuk.
Swallowing the troubled emotions, she wiped away a drop of what seemed like either tears or water from her eyes.
“Why is love so difficult for me…”
Uttering a sigh-mixed monologue, she shook her head, wiping the wet corners of her eyes with hands scorched by hot water.
Unable to endure this uncomfortable and pride-hurting feeling, Seoyeon couldn’t stand it.
At that moment, the doorbell rang loudly several times.
“Who could it be?”
Stepping out of the splashing bathtub, Seoyeon quickly put on a bathrobe.
“Oh. Is it Mr. Yul?”
The person she had longed to see all day appeared on the rectangular screen, and a smile spread across her face.
With a joyful heart, she quickly finished dressing and rushed out to the entrance.
As soon as she opened the door, Kwonyul’s eyes widened at her unusual attire.
“Ms. Seoyeon isn’t answering the phone.”
“Oh, she’s probably bathing at home.”
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Seoyeon gestured with her fingers to her wet hair.
“I missed you, so I came.”
Seeing Kwonyul’s gently upturned lips, Seoyeon’s complicated thoughts were neatly cleared.
“If you missed me, were you just planning to stand in front of the entrance?”
As if responding to Seoyeon’s question, Kwonyul approached and stood close.
“Can I hug you?”
“I just finished bathing, so I’m still wet.”
Nevertheless, Kwonyul didn’t seem to mind and embraced her.
As she was absorbed into his firm embrace, she closed her eyes with a shiver.
The uneasy and anxious day melted away in an instant with his familiar scent.
In a languid and soft mood, Seoyeon tightly hugged Kwonyul’s waist.
“Both my body and mind are a mess. Can we shower together?”
In response to Kwonyul’s words, Seoyeon, who had peeked out her eyes from his chest, nodded her head.
Then, his chest lightly trembled.
“Being with you like this makes me feel like I can live now.”
Even without saying it, they both knew how long and difficult each other’s day had been.
As their frozen hearts thawed with the warmth of their touch, his lips slowly descended to her forehead.
Seoyeon, lifting her heels as if waiting, gently embraced his lips, her wet hair forming a circle on his shirt.
“Look at this. Mr. Yul, your clothes are all wet.”
“As long as Seoyeon is okay, I’m fine.”
The two exchanged sweet words while looking into each other’s affectionate eyes. Then, they pressed their breaths together as if they couldn’t be separated.
Kwonyul, deeply penetrating Seoyeon’s moist lips, thought,
‘Let’s focus only on Seoyeon.’
For him, that was the best and only way. As Kwonyul’s thoughts deepened, he approached Seoyeon more urgently.
“Mr. Yul.”
Just as he was about to say that he might fall backward.
Kwonyul’s eyes, filled with heat, stared straight into Seoyeon’s.
“I have a favor to ask.”
Seoyeon gestured for him to speak quickly.
“Let’s never break up.”
During the time when they couldn’t contact each other, she could guess what had happened from Kwonyul’s words.
“Answer me. Promise that we’ll never break up.”
Seoyeon, like a wounded animal, warmly embraced Kwonyul, who was patting her cheek.
“I love you, Yul.”
“I really love you, Seoyeon.”
A happy and hearty laughter burst out.
“No matter what happens, you’ll stay by my side, right?”
Seoyeon, placing a long kiss on his forehead, replied with a firm “yes.”
Then, his warm breath reached her neck. As Seoyeon hugged his shoulders tightly, he slowly moved his steps.
Kwonyul led Seoyeon into the misty and humid bathroom, gently placing her on the edge of the bathtub. Then, in a single breath, he removed his black shirt.
When his vividly defined abs were revealed, Seoyeon, feeling awkward, looked up at his face.
The moment their eyes met in the air, he smiled and said,
“I don’t want to go home today.”
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…?
