Yumi typed on her phone and then erased it again.
Ji Ho, who had not yet replied to her last message.
She felt that she would be really hurt if she didn’t get a response this time either.
She was curious about many things, but she didn’t think Lee Soo would kindly answer her even if she asked.
Yumi only heaved a heavy sigh out of frustration.
To be acquainted with Jeong Lee Soo of all people.
She hated the fact that they were acquainted.
Something felt too insecure in a strange way.
((()))((()))
The elevator arrived at the 55th floor and the doors opened smoothly.
Ji Ho opened the front door and entered the empty house.
It was originally a place where three people lived, but after Seo Tae Jin was appointed as a professor at a university in England three years ago and left, Kim Yeon Su moved to England following her husband after Ji Ho’s college entrance exam was over.
Since then, Ji Ho had been living alone.
As soon as Ji Ho entered the house, he took out a can of beer from the refrigerator and sat on the oneseater sofa in the living room.
The Han River, seen from the dizzying height beyond the large windows, was overflowing.
If he had come straight home after dropping Jun Woo off, it would have taken 20 minutes, but it was already evening because he had taken Lee Soo home.
Ji Ho opened the cool beer can and put it to his lips.
Perhaps because he was thirsty, the cold beer went down his throat without stopping.
“I think I can survive now.”
Ji Ho deeply sank into the sofa and went over the day’s events.
He had seen Jeong Lee Soo by chance and spoke to her out of the blue to lend her an umbrella.
He had given her perfume because she said she remembered him because he smelled good, and had driven a person who only asked to borrow an umbrella because it was raining a lot all the way to her house.
And then.
He had asked for her phone number.
He had asked her out for a meal and had been turned down.
Thinking up to that point, a laughter burst out from Ji Ho’s mouth.
“What on earth did I do?”
Whenever he met Jeong Lee Soo, impulsive words and actions sprang out without going through his head.
It was something he would never have done if he was his usual self.
Why did he agree to take the umbrella?
He should have just told her to keep it.
There were numerous new umbrellas unopened in the shoe rack.
Did he do that to make an excuse to meet again?
Why. Ji Ho asked himself.
The answer was, ‘I don’t know’.
While Ji Ho was staring blankly at the wideopen view, the face of Lee Soo, who had been smiling brightly, suddenly popped up in front of him.
Each and every expression she had made when she was overly happy was vivid.
Ji Ho slowly closed his eyes and swiped his face with his large hand.
Then, the sound of the phone vibrating on the table made Lee Soo’s face scatter like the wind.
He was too lazy to reach out his hand, so he waited for the vibration to stop, but it kept ringing persistently.
Ji Ho put down the empty beer can on the table and picked up the phone with that hand.
Lee Ha Joon.
He checked the name on the screen and pressed the call button.
“Yes, Ha Joon.”
[Why did you pick up so late? Where are you?]“Home. Did you get discharged?”
Ji Ho leaned back on the sofa and spoke.
[Yeah, I was discharged in the morning and I’m home. Hey, you said you joined a club?]Ji Ho, instead of answering to Ha Joon who asked with a surprised voice, just chuckled.
[What? When I told you to do it together last year, you didn’t flinch. I was surprised when I got the call a while ago. Why are you suddenly doing this without telling me?]You must have been surprised. I’m surprised at myself too.
“Hmm… should I just quit immediately?”
Ji Ho brushed his chin with his fingertips and spoke.
“Okay, let’s see how fun it is.”
[By the way, did your search for Lee Soo go well?]“Yes.”
Ji Ho nodded absentmindedly, then suddenly remembered something when Lee Soo was mentioned.
“Ha Joon, I have a favor to ask.”
[What?]“If Jeong Lee Soo asks you for a favor, please refuse.”
[Why are you suddenly saying this?]“I wanted to get something from him in person.”
[Was he going to ask me to pass it on? What was it?]“It’s nothing special…”
[I got it. Well, do as you wish. But you’re continuing with the club, right?]For some reason he didn’t understand, if he needed an excuse to meet again, he thought he should make a good one.
Given that Jeong Lee Soo had a troubled look at the suggestion of having a meal, he might have to ask Ha Jun for a favor.
((()))((()))
Lee Soo neatly folded her welldried umbrella and put it in her bag.
On Mondays, she had classes from 9 to 5, except for one hour of lunch.
She arrived at school with a bag as heavy as her packed schedule.
Lee Soo sat in the lecture hall, took out a book, and thought while looking at the umbrella.
‘When will he contact me? It’s heavy to carry around, should I contact him first to meet?’
Lee Soo found Seo Ji Ho in her phone contacts.
An unfamiliar number came to mind.
If she was going to get it today, she might have contacted him yesterday. There was no contact from Ji Ho over the weekend.
As Lee Soo stared at the message button under Seo Ji Ho’s name, Ae Ra slumped down in the seat next to her.
Ae Ra was Lee Soo’s closest medical school colleague.
They became close as soon as they entered the school as sameaged students, who entered the medical school full of students who had retaken the exam several times.
“Why are you staring at your phone like that, Lee Soo?”
“I borrowed an umbrella and am wondering whether I should contact him first to return it.”
Lee Soo said, turning off the screen of her phone and putting it in her pocket.
“An umbrella? Who did you borrow it from?”
“…Seo Ji Ho.”
Lee Soo said after a brief pause.
She was too curious about Ae Ra’s reaction.
“What! What did you say?”
“Hehe. I thought so.”
Ae Ra’s face, who had been asking casually, changed dramatically at the mention of Seo Ji Ho.
Covering her surprised mouth with both hands, she widened her already big eyes.
Ae Ra was full of praise every time she saw Seo Ji Ho from afar, saying he was cooler than a celebrity.
She said it was so nice to be able to see such a face in real life, and thanks to Seo Ji Ho, it was fun to go to school.
“Why do you have Seo Ji Ho’s umbrella?”
Ae Ra, who had completely turned towards Lee Soo, looked extremely curious.
“It’s a long story.”
Lee Soo told Ae Ra about the past events related to Ji Ho.
“Holy! You met on the plane? And right next to you?”
Ae Ra asked with wide, astonished eyes.
As Lee Soo had expected this reaction, she lightly nodded her head.
“Wow, that’s eerie. It’s like a movie. How can such a coincidence happen?”
Ae Ra, as if she was truly horrified, rubbed her arms with her palms.
“It’s not an ordinary relationship. It must have been so nice!”
“It was just a series of coincidences. Anyway, isn’t it a bit strange for me to contact him first to return the umbrella?”
“No! Call him now to meet.”
Ae Ra looked as if she couldn’t understand the problem.
“Should I do it for you? I want to hear his voice on the phone once. Hehe.”
“Hey, enough!”
“Why? What are you hesitating for?”
At that moment, Lee Soo’s phone, which was in her pocket, vibrated briefly.
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…?
