Originally, she would have waved and greeted from a distance, saying, ‘Unni!’ with a friendly handshake, but not anymore.
Sureen walked on the dark wooden floor.
The interior had fast-paced music playing. As a space for enjoying music and drinks, people were intoxicated, wandering around.
And at the end of Sureen’s gaze, a woman in jeans and a T-shirt appeared.
“Martini?”
Instead of greetings, she immediately asked about the type of drink when their eyes met.
Feeling a difference from her previous appearance, Sureen smiled and nodded.
“A dry martini, please.”
After ordering the drink, silence fell.
In the static atmosphere, the two looked at each other, and Sureen waited for the other to speak, but the woman just drank the ordered drink without saying anything.
While other tables were bustling with music appreciation or drinking, the table of the two remained quiet.
Sureen looked down at the glass, maintaining the silence.
“Let’s drink first.”
As the ordered drink arrived, the woman raised her glass, and Sureen laughed briefly, taking a sip of the martini.
The savory taste swept down the esophagus. She momentarily closed her eyes at the spicy flavor, and when she opened them again, the woman’s expression had changed.
“Why did you do that, Unni?”
Dohui, erasing her smile, asked. Sureen had nothing to say to her.
“Was our brother really that great?”
Sureen let out a deep sigh. It was only the beginning of the conversation, but her neck felt stiff.
Unable to sleep due to recent events, and with Dohui’s matter exploding, Sureen couldn’t calm down.
It was a fact that she had approached Dohui first, acting uncharacteristically to gain Cha Doha.
All her actions towards Dohui were means and tools to reach Cha Doha. However, now that she had to say those words, somehow, her mouth wouldn’t open.
“Dohui.”
“Were all the times we spent together a lie?”
Sureen slightly furrowed her eyebrows. Dohui spoke again, as if she had not expected an answer in the first place.
She could interrupt the conversation, but Sureen just lay there silently.
“What do you think I felt about what Sureen Unni did to Haeyeon Unni?”
Eventually, when Minhaeyeon’s name came out of Dohui’s mouth, Sureen reluctantly spoke.
“If it’s the ‘thing’ I did to Minhaeyeon, I have nothing to say.”
Sureen deliberately modified Dohui’s expression ‘thing.’
“……”
Silence lingered.
Rather than getting stuck, Dohui closed her plump lips as if her words were blocked.
Sureen, tired of Dohui coming out like this, felt anger towards Minhaeyeon boil up again.
Why was Cha Dohui so angry when she wasn’t even Sureen’s blood relative?
Considering their friendship, she couldn’t be compared to Minhaeyeon, and when adding the period, it was incomparable.
“Do you really have nothing to say to me?”
“……”
Even when asked calmly while looking into each other’s eyes, Sureen still had no words to answer.
There was no reason to justify herself to Dohui.
However, Sureen couldn’t erase the bitter aftertaste.
“If Unni really thought about me sincerely, she should say something, any excuse will do. Even if it’s an excuse like loving our brother.”
“Cha Dohui.”
“Do you know what your silence means right now, Unni?”
For a moment, Sureen thought the music in the pub had stopped.
Otherwise, Dohui’s voice wouldn’t be so clear.
For some reason, feeling thirsty, Sureen took another sip of the martini.
“Even a conventional excuse is not worth the trouble. Unni just defined our relationship.”
“……”
In the calm words of Dohui, Sureen still couldn’t say anything.
As she thought, there was no need for her to explain to Dohui.
But Sureen couldn’t shake off the dirty feeling.
“Thank you for not making any excuses.”
“……”
Having finished speaking, Dohui stood up from her seat.
Having lied to the Doha couple and Jua that she was going to the airport, Sureen poured out all the words she wanted to say as much as she came to the seat.
Now it was time to go catch the plane.
She couldn’t hear the words she wanted to hear from Sureen, but in a way, the answer she got was the same.
Until Dohui left the seat and it had been a while, Sureen stayed silent.
It was only when there was a commotion at the adjacent table that she lifted the cold cup. Turning the glass, the sound of ice clashing suddenly echoed loudly.
It was only then that Sureen stood up with a twisted face.
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…?
