Nok Hyun stared at Tae In.
She seemed inebriated, her cheeks flushed and her expression oddly buoyant.
His gaze moved to the man practically attached to Tae In’s side.
His long hair, nearly reaching his shoulders, was reminiscent of a lion’s mane.
What a handsome fellow.
“Is Tae In your wife?”
The man asked, extending his hand.
Tae In.
Nok Hyun blinked upon hearing the endearing name from his mouth.
“Yes, I’m Tae In’s husband, Kang Nok Hyun.”
Nok Hyun also extended his hand, not for a handshake, but to bring Tae In to his side.
“I’m Tae In’s friend, Do Young Won. Just a friend, so no need to misunderstand.”
Young Won clarified unnecessarily with a bright smile.
He wasn’t particularly bothered, just mildly annoyed at the overly close proximity between his wife and this stranger.
With Tae In firmly at his side, Nok Hyun’s sculpted smile caused Young Won to awkwardly pocket his hand.
Amid the strange tension, only Tae In appeared carefree.
“Just a friend, a friend. We should get going now.”
Yet, Tae In, who called him a friend, sported a mischievous grin as if she knew Nok Hyun’s thoughts.
“Don’t forget our appointment tomorrow.”
Young Won bid farewell to Nok Hyun and Tae In with those words.
Appointment? What appointment?
Contrasting with Nok Hyun’s confused state, Young Won, who dropped the bombshell, retreated into the distance with a carefree wave.
Tae In also bid farewell before getting into the passenger seat of Nok Hyun’s car.
Unable to seize an opportunity to speak, Nok Hyun also got into the car.
“How did you get here?”
Nok Hyun abruptly asked as Tae In questioned him.
Tae In held her breath. Was it because she was drunk? Her heart seemed to beat faster than usual.
However, Nok Hyun, fastening her seatbelt, revealed no particular expression.
“Director Jeong told me.”
“Ah.”
Tae In stared at Nok Hyun, his response colder than usual.
“Are you jealous?”
Nok Hyun wore a baffled expression at Tae In’s question as he was about to drive off.
“Me? Does it look like that?”
“It totally does.”
“There’s no way. There’s no man you could like more than me in this world.”
“……You’re so annoying.”
It was true, but the way Nok Hyun said it so nonchalantly irked Tae In.
“But what’s the appointment tomorrow?”
“Oh, we agreed to go somewhere together.”
“Where? Just the two of you? For how long?”
“…… I thought you said you’re not jealous.”
At Tae In’s words, Nok Hyun wore a look of realization, but he wasn’t about to admit it easily.
“It’s not jealousy, just curiosity as a husband.”
“It’s for work. There’s something I need to check out. It’ll be hard to come back the same day, so I plan to leave Arin with someone we know.”
Tae In focused on the part about leaving Arin, but Nok Hyun was more concerned about not being able to return the same day.
“You can’t come back the same day? And you’re going with that guy?”
“…… You do seem jealous.”
“I’m asking because it could be dangerous. Don’t misunderstand.”
“He’ll be with Jeong Igyeong anyway. And I didn’t say we’re going alone.”
“……”
“Kang Nok Hyun, such a jealous type. So, that’s why he ran to Jung Ik Gyung as soon as he heard she was with a guy.”
Tae In smirked teasingly at Nok Hyun.
“…That’s not it.”
As Nok Hyun murmured lowly with a furrowed brow, Tae In burst out laughing.
“It seems like you two are dating.”
“Weren’t we?”
At Tae In’s words, Nok Hyun asked as if it was strange, and Tae In wore a surprised expression.
Were we dating?
“Since when?”
“Since yesterday.”
Was the ‘I want to protect you’ part implying this?
“Usually, it doesn’t start like that……”
In truth, Tae In had no dating experience.
She had gotten married before ever dating.
So, she didn’t really know how normal couples started dating.
After confessing, they would agree to start from today, wasn’t it something like that?
“We did kiss and sleep together, so you can’t deny it.”
“Be clear about it. We just slept.”
Tae In argued, her voice firm.
Nok Hyun’s choice of words tainted with impure intentions made her feel flushed.
“I do want to sleep clearly.”
“……Hey!”
Tae In, taken aback, unintentionally yelled ‘Hey’ and regretted it.
But Nok Hyun just chuckled.
“Nice to hear. Feels like we’ve become closer.”
His reaction was hard to grasp.
“It seems like you’re the one who’s drunk, not me.”
Tae In turned her head sharply to look out the window, her face contorted.
Nok Hyun, who had been waiting for a signal, looked at Tae In.
She had turned her head firmly, but her fingers fidgeted as if she was uncomfortable.
She looked so cute he wanted to gulp her down in one go.
In fact, he had been quite annoyed because of some permanent guy, but before he knew it, he felt relaxed. His mood was spoiled because of Tae In, but it was also because of Tae In that it lifted, it was a childish emotional roller coaster.
“Is there anything you want to do with me?”
“What I want to do?”
Tae In turned her head from looking outside the window.
Things she wanted to do with Kang Nok Hyun.
Tae In looked at him blankly.
Unintentionally, her eyes fell on his lips.
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…?
