Thinking about it, singing in front of one person, even if it’s a girlfriend, seemed embarrassing.
Seeing Jiho’s awkward expression, Isu spoke with a disappointed voice.
“Okay, then later…”
“But I’m curious about something.”
“What is it?”
“Do you like my singing or J’s songs?”
Jiho asked with a sly smile.
“Huh? Uh…”
Jiho thought Isu would immediately say it was him.
However, contrary to his expectations, Isu couldn’t answer right away.
“What’s with you? Are you hesitating now?”
Was she unable to say something she didn’t really feel even if she were about to die?
Jiho burst into a surprised laughter.
Anyway, both of them were Jiho himself, but he subtly felt uncomfortable with the fact that Isu, who didn’t know that, was pondering.
Even if it’s an empty phrase, shouldn’t you say you prefer a boyfriend?
“No, it’s okay. There’s no way I could be better than a singer. Don’t worry about it.”
“Uh, it’s not that. I’ve been curious for a while. Did you purposely sing like J that day? It was so similar that I was surprised.”
“…What?”
“Just because it was so similar, it was fascinating.”
‘I thought I hid it well, but apparently not.’
Isu, nestled in Jiho’s arms, fortunately didn’t see Jiho’s bewildered expression.
Even if he were to reveal it, he didn’t want to say it like this.
He couldn’t imagine Isu’s reaction, and Jiho’s silence, hesitating to answer, lingered.
At that moment, Isu’s phone on the table made a buzzing sound, vibrating.
“Oh! Just a moment.”
Isu got up in a hurry and rushed to press the call button.
“Mom!”
[Yes, Isu. I called after seeing the flight reservation.]Isu sent a picture to Hyojin as soon as she made the reservation yesterday.
[Planning to travel to Paris this time?]“Yeah. I went there, but I thought it would be a waste to stay only in London.”
[You stayed at home because it was too hot in the summer, so what happened now?]“Oh. Something came up. I’ll talk about it when I go there.”
Because it was uncomfortable to talk in front of Jiho, Isu mumbled in her response.
Although she got Wonjin’s permission, she was a little worried about what Hyojin would think.
[But, Isu. The day you’re coming happens to be the day I go to Grandma’s hospital, so I might not have time to go to the airport. Can you come home alone that day?]“Sure. I’m not a child. Don’t worry; I’ll go by myself.”
[Okay. I got it. Let’s contact each other again and see you on that day.]“Yeah. Mom.”
Isu hung up the phone and turned back with a bright expression.
Just a few months ago, she had a strong resentment towards Hyojin, but nowadays, since meeting Jiho and gaining independence, all those feelings had disappeared.
The longing and reliance she had for Hyojin, who was far away, had somehow moved a lot to Jiho.
In the future, when something difficult happened, Jiho seemed to be the first to come to mind.
Smiling, Isu snuggled back into Jiho’s arms.
Jiho, who didn’t understand English, was perplexed, but thanks to that, the confession he was hesitating about was naturally postponed.
Before they knew it, the sun had set, and the sky was dyed red.
“What should we do tonight? Watch a movie at home?”
“Tonight? Are you going to sleep here again tonight?”
“Why, is our house uncomfortable?”
“No. It’s not that.”
“If it’s not that, stay one more day and I’ll take you home early tomorrow.”
Although last night was actually a precarious atmosphere, how would they spend tonight again?
Just the thought of staying one more day made Isu’s heart flutter strangely.
“Hmm?”
Except for meals and bathroom breaks, Jiho had been sticking to Isu all day long like gum, holding her in his arms. Even now, as they sat on the sofa, he naturally wrapped his arms around her waist.
“But it’s okay. I want to be together tonight too.”
His languid voice somehow sounded oddly enticing.
Honestly, Isu had truly enjoyed the day spent with Jiho. However, the thought of staying at her boyfriend’s house for several days felt somewhat embarrassing, making her hesitate due to her own thoughts about refraining from such actions.
Nevertheless, in this moment, that resolve wavered like a reed in front of Jiho.
Two conflicting selves silently clashed within Isu’s mind.
‘I can sleep. I shouldn’t sleep.’
As the conflict deepened, Isu’s eyes trembled severely.
Observing Isu intently, Jiho kissed her lips as if to assert something.
“Don’t worry about it. Okay?”
After the soft lips touched and withdrew, Isu’s swaying heart, which had been pretending to hesitate, leaned completely in one direction under Jiho’s gaze, which seemed to say, ‘Don’t hesitate anymore.’
“…Okay. Got it.”
Isu, who had been debating whether to speak or not, hesitated and opened her mouth.
“Uh, Jiho, there’s something I want.”
Jiho’s eyes, who had never heard such words from Isu before, sparkled with curiosity.
“Anything. If I can buy it, I’ll buy it for you.”
“It’s not about buying… I want the blanket in your bedroom.”
Normally, the idea of covering herself with someone else’s blanket would make Isu feel awkward.
However, if it was Jiho’s-scented blanket, the story would be different.
She said it casually, deliberately making it sound nonchalant, as it might sound strange.
Jiho’s eyes, which had a curious glint, narrowed sharply.
“What would you do with my blanket?”
The reason why Isu’s heart was ticklish at the request for a new blanket that she used to cover herself was unclear.
In a situation that might seem absurd, Jiho couldn’t bring himself to laugh.
“If you don’t want to give it, you don’t have to.”
“When did I say I don’t want to? You asked for a reason.”
Jiho, who was expected to willingly agree without questioning, now asked for the reason, leaving Isu speechless.
‘Should I be honest and risk looking like a pervert?’
However, there was no other reason to go around the issue.
“Well… Because your scent is on the blanket.”
Worried about Jiho’s reaction, Isu hesitated, and her face turned hot when she finally spoke.
Seeing Isu like that, Jiho burst into a low laugh, sweeping his hand across her face.
‘Ha, unbelievable.’
At the end of Jiho’s smirk, Isu’s back instantly touched the sofa, and over it, Jiho’s body wrapped around her tightly without any gaps.
“Instead of my blanket… How about I cover you and we sleep together?”
Jiho stared at Isu with eyes full of desire.
The distance between them was barely an inch.
To match Isu’s pace, the instincts of the man that Jiho had been pressing down on were pushed aside, finally springing out.
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…?
