Were they nothing at that time?
“How long have they been together?”
“I don’t know exactly, but I heard about it after the MT. But Ji Ho was acting strange even before that. You know how he is, his face would freeze if a girl even spoke to him. But in front of Lee Soo, he couldn’t even move a muscle.”
Ha Jun, who had been itching to spill the beans, finally opened up.
Dong Woo wasn’t one to gossip, and the situation had naturally revealed itself, so there was no need to hide it.
Dong Woo’s face turned rigid, listening to Ha Jun.
It felt as if all his energy had drained away.
All the efforts he had made to hide his feelings under the guise of friendship seemed to dissolve into nothing.
What if he had confessed, even once?
Would he have felt less empty than he did now?
Knock knock.
Soo Min knocked and entered Yu Mi’s room.
Yu Mi, who had been feeling down lately, was lying face down on her bed.
Soo Min, concerned, deliberately raised her voice to sound cheerful.
Just the thought of spending every day in the same house with Ji Ho in London this upcoming summer made Yu Mi’s heart race as if it would burst.
The dimming flame of hope was now rekindled, blazing within her, and she beamed with joy.
On the day of the one-day bar.
Finally, the spring festival had begun.
The place rented for the club’s bar was often used for live performances, featuring a small stage in the middle of the hall and a piano.
It was a fairly large pub, utilizing all three floors.
An hour before the bar’s opening, Lee Soo and Ae Ra were busy in the kitchen, preparing ingredients for snacks.
Along with two freshmen, a total of four people were assigned to make different snacks.
Lee Soo was in charge of fish cake soup and stir-fried sausage and vegetables.
“Lee Soo, Ji Ho is coming today, right?”
While trimming ingredients for spicy whelk noodles, Ae Ra asked.
“Yes.”
The two freshmen had gone out to buy more ingredients, so only Lee Soo and Ae Ra were in the kitchen.
“I didn’t expect him to agree to serve, given his personality. You must have asked him, right?”
“I didn’t ask him. I just passed the message.”
“That’s the same thing. You told him. Why else would he do it if not for you?”
Lee Soo looked somewhat displeased.
“Anyway, I’m not sure if we should distribute numbers or something outside. I overheard some girls in the school restroom earlier, all planning to come here. Seems like the word is out. I’m scared they’ll swarm us.”
Ae Ra dramatically shivered.
The busier it got, the more the kitchen would be short-handed.
“We should just enjoy it moderately. It’s not like we’re running a bar to make a fortune. I should’ve told Ji Ho not to bother.”
Lee Soo grumbled, regretting her decision.
“Last year, not many people came, so we could rest frequently, but today that seems impossible. I wonder if we can keep up with the demand for snacks. I’m worried.”
“If we run out of ingredients or get too busy, we’ll just serve dried snacks and shrimp crackers.”
Lee Soo shrugged nonchalantly.
A bad premonition loomed over her.
She placed the cleanly washed green onions on a draining rack.
“Then only the early comers will get proper snacks today.”
Ae Ra chuckled.
“Exactly.”
Nodding, Lee Soo began chopping the green onions.
Chop, chop, chop.
The rhythmic chopping sound cheerfully echoed in the kitchen.
“But the kids coming here won’t care about that. They’re here to see Ji Ho. Just a sip of alcohol and a glance at Ji Ho’s face is enough for them. Hahaha.”
“Hey, that’s a bit harsh to hear. Ji Ho’s not some kind of side dish for alcohol.”
Lee Soo rolled her eyes at Ae Ra.
“Oh, come on. Since when did you start caring so much about Ji Ho? Someone might think you two are really close. You barely acknowledge each other at school.”
“That’s because of certain circumstances. Honestly, I don’t like Ji Ho coming today. It feels like he’s just a spectacle for the girls.”
“Oh, really? Now you dislike other girls looking at Ji Ho, huh?”
Ae Ra teased, imitating a jealous tone.
Ae Ra laughed heartily, teasingly poking fun at Lee Soo.
It was amusing and surprising to see Lee Soo, who seemed to have lived her life far removed from romance, preemptively getting jealous over unknown women.
“If Ji Ho knew you were like this, he would be happy. You didn’t say such things to Ji Ho, did you? Just pretended like it didn’t bother you?”
“I just said if he didn’t want to do it, he shouldn’t.”
“You should have straightforwardly told him not to do it if you didn’t like it.”
“…….”
“How would it feel to have women flocking to see my boyfriend?”
“Obviously, I don’t like it. Why would I like other women looking at my man?”
Lee Soo sighed and grumbled.
“You should have said that earlier.”
Shh! That voice… No way!
Lee Soo doubted her ears.
Ji Ho’s voice, full of laughter, rang clearly in Lee Soo’s ears.
At the same time, her face flushed red.
‘Why are you here?’
Lee Soo couldn’t even turn her head and froze at Ji Ho’s words.
The bar was supposed to start at 6 PM, and it wasn’t even 5 yet.
He said he would come on time, so why was he already here?
Ae Ra struggled to contain her laughter, seeing Lee Soo’s face turn crimson.
She then warmly greeted Ji Ho.
“Welcome.”
“Yeah.”
“Ahem, Lee Soo, I’ll go to the restroom for a bit.”
Ae Ra winked at Ji Ho and hurriedly left the kitchen.
Lee Soo kept her eyes down, looking only at the cutting board.
From where had he been listening?
My man…
If only she hadn’t said that.
After Ae Ra’s footsteps faded away, Ji Ho’s cheerful voice was heard.
“Your man has arrived…….”
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…?
