The intricate details of that night that no one else knew. Her composure was still fragile when dealing with them.
I thought it would take more time and effort to toughen up.
So!
I tried to puff myself up in front of my colleagues with misplaced courage.
But it ended in laughter and nothing else.
As expected, people should just go on living as they always have. In my confusion, as I put my nose into a teacup, the office door suddenly swung open.
“……!”
Huh… Why did that darn Mr. A come here! Can I escape even now?
“Kyle, Alexis?”
What am I looking at right now? Choi Jang Mi muttered, but Eun Jo’s colleagues were all frozen like ice.
“Eun Jo.”
At the deep voice, someone among her colleagues gasped.
“Wow. Senior… I mean, was it really true?”
Eun Jo nodded and quickly grabbed Jae Ha’s sleeve.
“Go out, let’s talk outside.”
Jae Ha led Eun Jo to his recently decorated office.
“Eun Jo, that’s my engagement… No, it’s the knight.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“What?”
“I don’t care if you’re a knight.”
“….”
“I knew it all, and I still decided. It’s a bad thing.”
“Yoon Eun Jo.”
“I really mean it, so it’s okay.”
“I have something I haven’t told you. Natalie and I…”
“It’s okay, it doesn’t matter. Why is that important now?”
“What do you know?”
Jae Ha furrowed his brow.
Does he mean it doesn’t matter if there’s another woman?
“Whatever happened, it’s already spilled water. What we did won’t change.”
“The world will talk about you carelessly. I can’t stand seeing you like that. Officially, I…”
“What’s the world? My fiancée? A mistress? Call me whatever you want.”
Jae Ha looked at Eun Jo, who was smiling faintly, with a blank expression.
“…….”
“She said the same thing to me yesterday, just like when I was twenty-two. Well, if she was talking about my appearance, I appreciate it. But I’m quite different now. It feels like I’ve changed.”
“…….”
“Back then, eight years ago, what would people have said if they had known about our relationship? That I grew up without learning anything from it? They probably said all sorts of bad things without thinking. What I was afraid of, the pointing fingers. I became trash even without parents or money, and even my self-esteem turned to garbage. How could I have endured that? Ultimately…”
Eun Jo couldn’t continue speaking and sealed her lips.
Ultimately, she buried wounds that were thousands of times more painful than the pointing fingers of others deep in her heart.
“I’ll see you after work.”
“…….”
“Well… If it’s just you, I’d like to go to bed early. Like last night, if you don’t mind. I’m really tired.”
“Now, are you telling me to start and finish quickly?”
“Probably.”
“Ha! Who says that starting early means finishing early? And making such remarks in this situation is no different from tempting. You’re out of your mind!”
An impatient Jae Ha brushed his hair like an itchy puppy and paced around the office.
In truth, it was him who lost his mind the moment he saw Eun Jo.
The feeling was as if he wanted to do something bad right away, and the urge was burning within him.
The dam had burst. The dyke had collapsed.
Now there’s no way to stop it.
“Seduction? If it sounded like that… then maybe it is.”
“Just be careful and don’t get separated from Director Ma for a while. Nothing bad will happen that way.”
“Alright.”
“Come here.”
“This is the company.”
“Yeah, my company! It’s just a little hole-in-the-wall! It’s mine!”
“Why… are you like this?”
“I’m still thirsty, that’s why! Don’t you feel like you’ve given everything? No! I’ve only got a tiny part of what I want!”
Darn it, Jae Ha stomped his foot.
Honestly, he’s no different from Daon, who throws a tantrum for more snacks.
How can he give more?
He bites and sucks like that, not even letting out a sigh…
“…Did you take a few days off from working out?”
“No!!”
“For goodness’ sake, say that outside!”
“What did you do that you’re so concerned about what others hear outside? I said, be concerned about me. Kwon Jae Ha!”
“Wasn’t it because I was worried about you?”
“Right.”
“Thank you plenty. Thanks to you… Uh…”
“Anyone who mocks someone recklessly should be ready for a lawsuit!”
“Ah, American style.”
“…”
“We don’t usually do lawsuits over trivial matters. It’s scary. So, even with you…”
“Now you’re telling me you slept with me because you’re scared of lawsuits?”
“Please, Kwon Jae Ha!”
“…Yes?”
“Lower your voice.”
“Say it again.”
“…?”
“Say my name properly, with your senses intact.”
“Why do you keep obsessing over that like a pervert?”
Not Kyle Alexis, but Kwon Jae Ha. That’s what it means.
The real me that you call.
Because I wanted to feel that.
“Watch it at home, the pervert will go ahead and wait for you.”
Jaeha, who had already turned away, quickly disappeared from Eunjo’s view.
It really felt like time had turned back.
Jaeha, who had caught Eunjo as soon as she got off work, acted as if he had determined to show her what a real pervert was like.
The clothes she had been wearing fell one by one from the entrance to the bed.
After sharing a hot and sweet kiss,
They shared a proper love, different from the night before.
Slowly, they exchanged lingering gazes, and just as it always had been, their passionate encounters repeated.
And there was beautiful joy – BEAU JOIE.
“Do you take birth control pills or something?”
“…Why all of a sudden?”
Eunjo, still held firmly from behind by Jae Ha, turned her head towards him.
“You asked the same yesterday, about birth control.”
“…It was a safe time.”
“There’s no such thing as a safe time according to Yoon Eunjo’s rules.”
“Give me more Beau Joie.”
“You’ve already had a lot, stop drinking.”
“It’s just champagne. Give me more; I’m thirsty.”
As Jae Ha moved, cold air brushed against his skin.
Goosebumps formed, and his body shivered.
At the same time, in New York.
Under the noon sun, a man stood.
Right there, where Eun Jo had been hit by a car, in front of the street where the accident had occurred.
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…?
