Kim Hyung Joo was Ji Ho’s cousin, who until a few years ago had been a senior producer at a major entertainment company, but a year ago he became independent and established his own company. He was a composer and producer.
He had created countless hit songs and was even called a hit song factory.
[Yeah, Ji Ho. I’ve just sent you the guide recording by email.]“Oh, is it out already?”
[Yeah, I’ve been working hard on it for a few days because I wanted you to hear it quickly. I think it came out well, but I’m not sure how it sounds to you.]“I’m so looking forward to it.”
[I sent one more song in addition to the one you were initially preparing. Let’s talk again after you’ve listened to both.]“Yes. I’ll listen to it right away and contact you.”
[Alright. I’ll be waiting.]Ji Ho hung up the phone and headed to the room at the end of the living room corridor.
As he opened the door, a large wooden desk was covered with a large monitor and speakers, and a digital piano was placed on one side of the wall.
Ji Ho turned on the computer and played the two guide recordings sent by Kim Hyung Joo.
There was a lyrical ballad song starting with soft piano accompaniment and a ballad song with a sad melody that reminded of a breakup.
Hyung Joo, who had always thought Ji Ho’s voice was unique, had suggested Ji Ho to sing since he established his company.
Thanks to Hyung Joo’s suggestion, Ji Ho lightly sang a song for a movie, and when the movie was a big hit, even the OST gained great popularity.
Since then, Hyung Joo continued to create songs that suited Ji Ho’s voice, and Ji Ho absorbed them well, gaining great popularity with every release.
However, Ji Ho did not want his face and name to be known.
His grandfather wished for Ji Ho to participate in company management instead of his father who chose the path of a researcher for life, and Ji Ho, who did not dream of becoming a celebrity, followed his grandfather’s wishes.
Therefore, he could only be evaluated by the public through his singing ability.
After listening to the songs, Ji Ho called Hyung Joo with an excited expression.
“Brother, both songs are so good.”
[Really? I’m glad you like them. When are you going to come to the recording studio?]It was preparation for the first single of the year.
When Ji Ho first received Hyung Joo’s proposal, he started singing out of curiosity about something he had never experienced before.
Hyung Joo convinced Ji Ho by saying there was no need to feel burdened.
The start was lighthearted, but Ji Ho, who started to show ambition, learned to compose with Hyung Joo’s help and even made his own songs.
Thanks to that, Ji Ho had a very busy life for the past year.
“I’ll go tomorrow, Brother.”

At the sound of the front door opening, Soo Min, who was anxiously sitting in the living room, quickly stood up.
“Are they back now?”
Soo Min looked at the expressions of Lee Soo and Won Jin, deliberately speaking in a bright voice.
A long bandage was attached above Lee Soo’s left cheek.
She could guess how much Won Jin must be holding back his anger, seeing his precious daughter’s face in such a state.
Soo Min was nervous.
She opened her mouth again towards the two, who had no reply and kept their mouths shut.
“Should I prepare dinner now?”
“No, you go to the room and talk with me.”
Won Jin spoke to Soo Min without softening his stern expression.
At his chilly voice, Soo Min swallowed her dry spit.
“Lee Soo, go upstairs and rest.”
“Yes, Dad.”
Lee Soo went up to the second floor without even glancing at Soo Min.
When she opened the door to her room, it was tidied up so neatly that not a trace of the night before could be found.
Despite having aired it out, the lingering scent was the only remnant of the chaos of the previous night. It felt as if she had cut off the last night’s commotion with a pair of scissors.
She had intended to lock the door, but thinking her dad was home, she felt reassured and left it as it was.
Won Jin felt continually apologetic, as if everything that had happened to Lee Soo was his fault.
“Something like this will never happen again.”
Won Jin spoke as if promising Lee Soo.
Five years ago, when he started living with Lee Soo again, Won Jin was happier than anyone else.
When he was left alone, after reluctantly sending young Lee Soo, who wanted to live with her mother, to Hye Jin after their divorce, the loneliness and regret had been indescribable.
“I didn’t want Dad to remarry. Living as Yumi’s dad might have been Dad’s wish, but I don’t want to live as Yumi’s sister. I don’t consider them my family. To be honest, to me they are just a woman living with my dad and her daughter. To me, my family consists of only my dad and mom.”
Lee Soo ruthlessly laid out all of her previously unspoken thoughts.
The title for Su Min had changed from Yumi’s mom to just a woman.
Knowing that Won Jin would find it uncomfortable to hear, Lee Soo deliberately said it harshly.
Every time she had to refer to her stepmother reluctantly, Lee Soo felt as uncomfortable as if a thorn was stuck in her throat.
In fact, even such small things had been hard for Lee Soo to handle.
So, when such an opportunity arose, she wanted to get out of the house no matter what.
She felt sorry for her father who trusted her, but she didn’t want to pretend to be okay and bear it any longer.
She really wanted to break free now.
On the way home, Won Jin’s sighs deepened.
Lee Soo’s honesty, which he found out for the first time, was a shock to Won Jin.
He felt heavyhearted, thinking that he had inflicted another big wound on Lee Soo, who had been hurt a lot since childhood due to their parents’ separation and divorce.
Lee Soo felt sorry for Won Jin who was torturing himself with guilt, but she pretended not to notice, thinking that it was something he had to go through at some point.
Entering the dressing room, Lee Soo looked at herself in the mirror, wearing Ji ho’s clothes.
“I have to return this again.”
As if that was all.
Even the borrowed money of 20,000 won and the umbrella.
“I should show some kind of appreciation.”
She had said she would pay him back, but how could she possibly pay him back in the same way?
It was ridiculous to begin with.
The things she had briefly suppressed while meeting her dad suddenly occupied Lee Soo’s mind.
As if they had been waiting for this moment.
“It was because it was you.”
“You’re special to me.”
Ji ho’s sweet voice kept echoing in her ears like tinnitus.
His slightly bewildered expression, as if she didn’t know.
His eyes, hoping she would understand a little now.
“You don’t know?”
Of course I don’t. You should have told me clearly.
Just thinking about it made her heart flutter.
Could she deceive herself and Ji ho by denying this?
Lee Soo sighed deeply.
That’s when a text notification sounded.
The sender was Seo Ji ho.
10 minutes.
Seeing the text, Lee Soo tilted her head.

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…?
