“Alright, Do-hee.”
Lee Soo-rin showed an evident discomfort. Surprised by Do-hee’s unfamiliar assertiveness, Soo-rin’s practiced composure seemed to falter, and she replied awkwardly.
However, Haeyeon didn’t care about Soo-rin’s reaction. To her, Do-hee, who was trying hard for her sake, was more important. Haeyeon squeezed Do-hee’s hand she was holding as a sign of reassurance, and then let go.
Looking up, Haeyeon noticed Soo-rin had regained her composure, lifting the corners of her mouth slightly.
“I’m sorry, Haeyeon. I shouldn’t have brought up memories you’d rather forget.”
‘Ah…’
Haeyeon internally sighed and bit the inside of her lip. Soo-rin’s words confirmed Haeyeon’s suspicion that the conjecture she had feared was indeed true.
The discomfort Haeyeon felt from Soo-rin’s apology was significant, knowing her true nature and the added detail of ‘memories you’d rather forget.’
It was bitter. Although Haeyeon had braced herself since her hospital visit, Soo-rin had now realized the truth.
‘She knows I’ve lost my memory.’
Moreover, Soo-rin wasn’t just aware of it but was making it clear to Haeyeon. However, whether Yoon Myung-gil and Han Yoon-seo knew about it remained unclear.
Haeyeon shifted her gaze to Han Yoon-seo sitting opposite. Yoon-seo, who was merely sipping her coffee, didn’t seem to have any particular reaction, which indicated she might not know about Haeyeon’s memory loss. If Yoon-seo had caught wind of the valuable information Soo-rin was freely offering in this situation, she wouldn’t have reacted so nonchalantly. Haeyeon smoothly responded to Soo-rin.
“It’s okay. Like you said, it’s all in the past.”
“Thank you for accepting my apology, Haeyeon.”
“Enough of the serious talk! Let’s get back to our chatter.”
Do-hee’s interruption led Yoon-seo to reply with a smile.
“I haven’t said anything, Do-hee.”
The awkward moment was brief. With Soo-rin offering a somewhat insincere apology and Do-hee, ever optimistic, quickly changing the subject, Yoon-seo casually went along with it.
Haeyeon turned her gaze to her tea cup. She spoke again only after the music inside the café slowed down. After setting down her nearly empty coffee cup, Haeyeon spoke gently.
“I’m going to the restroom for a moment.”
“Sure, go ahead, sister-in-law.”
Responding sweetly, Do-hee watched as Haeyeon left the table. Passing through the never-ending music of the department store’s basement hallway, Haeyeon entered the restroom and swept back her forehead hair. She was about to wash her hands at the sink when the door opened, and someone entered.
The owner of the slender legs under the breathtakingly high stiletto heels was Soo-rin.
Her beautiful eyes fully reflected in the large mirror, Haeyeon didn’t turn around but extended her hands under the automatic sensor faucet. As the water flowed, Haeyeon’s gaze dropped.
“You really are shameless, aren’t you?”
As Soo-rin tilted her head slightly, her well-maintained glossy hair elegantly waved as if to make a sound.
Always conscious of others’ eyes, Soo-rin, even now, displayed her inherent dignity, approaching gracefully.
Without a response or feeling to give, Haeyeon simply washed her hands indifferently as Soo-rin continued.
“But to think you’ve lost your memory. Oh, living comfortably, forgetting everything, I guess that does make you shameless.”
“So?”
Soo-rin let out a laugh at Haeyeon’s flat retort, as if she found it absurd. Turning to face Soo-rin, Haeyeon’s expression remained calm.
Whatever Soo-rin was up to by following her here and behaving like a close sister while disregarding Do-hee’s situation, Haeyeon was exasperated.
Above all, Soo-rin had no right to comment on her memory loss. Haeyeon replied with a bright smile.
“Me losing my memory isn’t a reason to break up with Do-ha, nor is it any of your business to comment on it.”
“…….”
Haeyeon recited each word very slowly, as if making sure they reached Lee Soo-rin without getting lost along the way.
In contrast, Soo-rin’s expression changed rapidly. Her beautiful face, previously lively, now settled into a blank expression. The lack of any expression on her elaborately made-up face created an eerie dissonance, but Haeyeon, unaffected, extended her hand towards Soo-rin.
“Besides, isn’t it more shameless for you to act like my husband’s harmless little sister in front and then move sinisterly behind the scenes?”
Without taking her eyes off Soo-rin, Haeyeon elegantly pulled a tissue from behind her, drying her hands as she turned around. The music continued to play in the space.
Under the strains of a violin melody, Haeyeon caught Soo-rin’s expression, which made her frown momentarily.
“Who knows?”
Soo-rin’s lips, contrasting her crimson lipstick, slightly curled up, exuding sensuality. Soo-rin, who managed to turn Haeyeon around, subtly shifted her gaze downward as she moved her red lips.
“Aren’t I better than you, who can’t give Do-ha anything but causes trouble?”
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…?
