In truth, every time Kwon Yool called Seo Yeon, his heart thumped so hard it was unbearable.
In that brief period waiting for her voice, Kwon Yool felt an indescribable flutter.
“[Yool, where are you?]”
“I’m just leaving now.”
“[Then do you want to come home? I had a tiring day, and I don’t feel like going out once I got home.]”
Home.
Kwon Yool recalled the day he had unexpectedly visited.
He hadn’t intended it, but they had fallen asleep together….
Feeling Seo Yeon’s breath as she slept against him, Kwon Yool ran his hands through his neat hair.
“It’s late, are you sure it’s okay?”
It was a pointless question, but Kwon Yool asked for her consent once more.
“[Are you worried I won’t let you go home again?]”
“No! I was just concerned about bothering a tired Seo Yeon.”
At Kwon Yool’s words, Seo Yeon suddenly laughed.
Despite the lack of any joke, her laughter had Kwon Yool perplexed.
“[Yool, you’re really like a polite bear from the Joseon era. Ha ha. It’s not at all a bother, so please be careful on your way.]”
With her last words being that he should bring strawberry cake, Seo Yeon hung up.
In the silence that filled the car, Kwon Yool picked up speed, his head cocked to the side.
Did she mean he was a silly bear?
He understood polite bear, but what did Joseon era mean? He considered it deeply.
Was she saying he was so oldfashioned that it was suffocating?
When they kissed last time, did she get disappointed because I remained still?… No way, right?
He should be more proactive… As Kwon Yool thought that far, he tightened his grip on the steering wheel as if making a resolution, then shook his head, his eyes twinkling.
Due to his lack of experience, he found it challenging to determine when to advance and when to retreat.
He remembered the fluttering points of female protagonists he had read in books.
Should he try, even if just a bit?
Something subtly considerate, not too much.
Then out of the blue, he remembered Won Jun’s ridiculous words.
“Ha. This is tough. Should I just buy some jelly…..”
Kwon Yool, unable to clear his cluttered thoughts, arrived at Seo Yeon’s house.
While pressing the doorbell and waiting for the door to open, the things he read in books invaded his thoughts in a flash.
“…. Should I try?”
His entangled thoughts leaked out of his mouth the moment the door opened.
“Yool. Welcome.”
The moment he faced her face, shining with a transparent light, he felt an ungrounded confidence that he would definitely be brave today.
“Here’s a present.”
When Kwon Yool offered the cake box, Seo Yeon gently pulled at his arm.
“I have a broadcast tomorrow, so I shouldn’t really eat, but I’ll taste just a little bit.”
The two entered the house affectionately.
Seo Yeon sent a signal to sit across the dining table with a gesture.
Just like wrapping warmly, reveal your presence up close.
His photographic memory quickly recalled the words written in the book.
After hesitating for a moment, Kwon Yool sneaked a peek at the opposite seat and sat next to Seo Yeon pretending not to know.
At that, Seo Yeon’s eyes glanced at Kwon Yool, and she naturally pulled the tea cup and fork on the opposite side towards her.
“It seems the lecture ended late.”
“Today was the last class, so I had to take a close look.”
Kwon Yool twisted his body halfway towards Seo Yeon and briefly explained his daily routine.
Smiling Seo Yeon nodded as if to respond, pouring warm black tea.
At that, Kwon Yool, lifting the corner of his mouth, quickly took out the strawberry cake from the box.
“Wow. Just how many rows of strawberries are there.”
The white whipped cream covered strawberries were piled layer by layer between the bread, three rows in all, and the top was filled with fresh strawberries the size of large candies.
“I was really going to eat just a little. With this visual, I can’t resist.”
As Seo Yeon, impatient, raised a plastic knife, Kwon Yool gently took it and said,
“I’ll do it. You have a broadcast too, you can’t get hurt.”
Seo Yeon, who was about to say ‘I’m fine’, watched Kwon Yool’s back of the hand cutting the cake into perfect squares, smiling contentedly.
Kwon Yool placed a slice of cake on Seo Yeon’s plate without dropping a single strawberry.
Every considerate act pretending to be indifferent becomes a great love in return!
Kwon Yool, who had been contemplating for a moment, cut the corner of the cake into a bitesized piece.
“Here. Try it.”
Kwon Yool’s fork approached Seo Yeon’s mouth, with his palm supporting the plate to prevent the cake from falling.
Seo Yeon’s shoulders froze in surprise, as she had never allowed anyone of the opposite sex other than her parents and friends to feed her.
However, fearing Kwon Yool would be too embarrassed if she refused here, Seo Yeon opened her mouth with a creaking gesture.
He slowly pushed the sweet and tangy cake into her mouth with utmost caution.
“Hmm. It’s delicious. Can you hear? The sound of crushing strawberry seeds? Yool, you should try it too.”
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…?
