Romance for You (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 10
“Oppa! It’s been so long.”
“Oh, Yoo Mi. Have you been well?”
As Yoo Mi stepped closer toward Ji Ho, the gazes of Ji Ho’s friends all converged on her at once.
Thanks to Won Jin, a plastic surgeon, Yoo Mi had become stunningly beautiful—her features were refreshingly sharp, with slightly upturned eyes, the quintessential cat-like face.
Dressed in a knit dress that accentuated her slender figure, her long hair flowing down to her waist as she smiled, Yoo Mi easily captured the attention of every passing man.
“Ji Ho, who’s this?”
Ha Jun whispered into Ji Ho’s ear in a low voice.
Noticing their stares, Yoo Mi kindly offered a greeting first.
“Hello. My name is Jung Yoo Mi.”
“She’s just a younger girl I know.”
At Ji Ho’s reply, Yoo Mi gently bit the inside of her cheek.
Though it was the truth, a pang of disappointment welled up inside her.
“I go to this school too. I’m a freshman in the Dance Department this year.”
“Oh, I see. Hello.”
Ha Jun gave a slight nod toward Yoo Mi as he spoke.
Ji Ho remained indifferent, yet the girl’s eyes, fixed on him, sparkled with unmistakable warmth and affection.
It was a common sight, nothing surprising.
What was unexpected, however, was that Ji Ho was smiling and accepting her greeting.
Sensing the situation, Ha Jun tactfully led his friends away, stepping aside first.
“Yoo Mi, did you come here looking for me?”
“No, not really. I just happened to see you while passing by.”
She had come specifically because she missed him, but couldn’t bring herself to say it outright.
Knowing Ji Ho’s personality well, Yoo Mi was careful not to come on too strong.
After all, it wasn’t a complete lie—they had met by chance.
Now that she was actually seeing Ji Ho, Yoo Mi’s mind went blank, and no words came to her immediately.
Standing face to face with Ji Ho on the campus of Korea University, the place she’d dreamed of, filled her chest with such overwhelming emotion that her heart pounded wildly.
Though she was just “a younger girl he knew” for now, she smiled happily, already picturing in her mind the day they might become lovers.
“Alright then. I’ll be going.”
Ji Ho gave a light nod and turned to leave.
“Ah, Oppa! Wait a moment!”
Snapping back to her senses, Yoo Mi urgently called out to him.
She couldn’t let this chance encounter end so emptily.
“What is it?”
“Oppa, did you know you still haven’t replied to my text?”
Yoo Mi barely suppressed her fluttering heart and managed to squeeze out the words.
Now that they’d met, she figured she could get a direct answer.
“Huh? Did I?”
Ji Ho pulled out his phone from his pocket, clearly oblivious until that moment.
He tapped the screen, searching for their previous messages.
– “Oppa, you didn’t forget your promise to treat me to a meal once I got into university, did you?”
– “Yeah.”
– “When will you take me? Just tell me a time convenient for you, and I’ll adjust my schedule.”
– “Okay.”
– “How about this Saturday? Or Sunday works too.”
– “I’m busy that day.”
– “Got it. Then when are you free?”
He’d completely forgotten.
“Oh. Sorry, Yoo Mi. I spaced out and forgot to reply.”
Ji Ho rubbed the back of his neck as he spoke.
“Tch. If you’re sorry, treat me to even more.”
An irresistible smile lingered on Yoo Mi’s face as she pouted playfully.
Seeing Ji Ho apologize, the disappointment she’d felt over the past few days melted away like snow in the sun.
“Want to come with me now? I was on my way to grab lunch.”
“Right now?”
Yoo Mi asked, eyes wide in surprise.
She hadn’t meant for him to casually treat her to a quick meal on campus like this.
She’d hoped for a proper date—delicious food at a nice restaurant.
“If you can’t make it now, we’ll meet another time.”
His expression clearly said, “If not, then never mind.”
Yoo Mi hesitated for a moment.
Should she eat with him like this, or set another proper appointment?
Truthfully, where they ate or what they ate didn’t matter much.
What mattered was being with Ji Ho.
“No, now is fine! But next time, you have to treat me to something even tastier.”
Yoo Mi beamed and followed Ji Ho.
**
After having bean sprout soup to settle their hangovers, Ae Ra and Lee Su strolled across campus, each holding a coffee.
The sky was perfectly clear and a refreshing breeze blew gently—ideal weather for a walk.
Lush green trees lined both sides of the central campus road, vibrant with fresh spring color.
Suddenly, Ae Ra excitedly tapped Lee Su’s arm repeatedly while sipping her iced coffee through a straw.
“Hey, hey! Look over there!”
“Where?”
“Look at that girl next to Seo Ji Ho. She’s gorgeous! And her figure is insane—like a model.”
Lee Su narrowed her eyes as she looked toward where Ae Ra was pointing.
“Oh.”
The stunning, model-like girl Ae Ra was raving about was none other than Yoo Mi.
They could see Yoo Mi smiling brightly beside Ji Ho, who wore a faint, gentle smile, standing in front of the student union building.
“Look how everyone passing by keeps glancing at them—just because two good-looking people are standing together.”
Indeed, just by standing there quietly, Ji Ho’s presence dominated the surroundings.
And Yoo Mi beside him naturally drew just as much attention and curious glances.
‘I told her to speak to Seo Ji Ho herself, and she really went to see him.’
From a distance, the two looked quite intimate.
They’d known each other for over ten years, so it made sense.
Yoo Mi gazed at Ji Ho with unmistakable affection in her eyes.
Lee Su was surprised anew—she hadn’t realized Yoo Mi could look like that.
From Ae Ra’s perspective, perhaps Seo Ji Ho saw Yoo Mi as extraordinarily beautiful too.
Seeing Ji Ho smile so softly, it certainly seemed possible.
Though Yoo Mi had undoubtedly benefited greatly from modern cosmetic surgery, the transformation was so seamless—so natural—that unless told otherwise, no one would suspect she’d had any work done.
Every time Lee Su saw Yoo Mi’s face, she was reminded of just how exceptionally skilled Won Jin was as a plastic surgeon.
“Ae Ra, let’s go now.”
Ae Ra knew nothing about Lee Su’s family situation.
It wasn’t a secret she needed to hide, but neither was it something she particularly wanted to share—so Lee Su had never told anyone.
But now, after running into Yoo Mi on campus like this again, she wondered if the day might come when she’d have to explain it.
At that thought, a long sigh escaped Lee Su’s lips.
“What’s wrong? You still have time before your class starts.”
“There are too many people—I need to get there early to grab a good seat.”
Lee Su turned and walked away first.
She wanted to get out of this place as quickly as possible.
**
Throughout the meal, Yoo Mi watched Ji Ho with a satisfied smile.
She was so distracted she couldn’t even tell if the food was going into her mouth or her nose.
The envious glances pouring in from all around were just an added bonus.
‘So this is how it feels to have lunch alone with Oppa on campus.’
Just the thought of having Ji Ho all to herself made her feel full, even without eating.
‘If we ever become a campus couple, every day would feel like this, right?’
Just imagining it filled Yoo Mi’s face with an unshakable smile.
“How’s university treating you?”
Ji Ho asked, looking at Yoo Mi, whom he hadn’t seen in a long while.
Each time he saw her, her appearance seemed slightly different—now, almost none of her childhood features remained, making her look somewhat unfamiliar.
“Yeah, it’s fun. But Oppa, do you eat at the student cafeteria every day?”
“Not every day. Why? Is it bad?”
“No. I just thought it’d be nice if I could eat with you every day. We could just meet here.”
Ji Ho lowered his gaze and picked up his chopsticks.
Yoo Mi had always been comfortable and cute to him since childhood—but nothing more than that.
She was simply a younger girl he’d come to know through their mothers’ friendship.
To Ji Ho, that was all Yoo Mi was.
“Yoo Mi, eat quickly. I have class at two, so I need to go.”
There were girls who, if given even a little kindness, would cross the line.
Though Yoo Mi felt like a sister to him, he sometimes felt uneasy precisely because of moments like this.
If it were someone else, he’d draw a cold, clear boundary—but thinking of his mom and Aunt Soo Min, he preferred to gently let Yoo Mi down instead.
“Okay.”
It wasn’t the answer Yoo Mi wanted, but it was fine.
You couldn’t get full from the first spoonful.
Ji Ho finished his meal quickly and set down his spoon.
Though he usually didn’t care about others’ gazes, today the stares aimed at them felt especially blatant—almost unbearable.
And Yoo Mi seemed to enjoy it, even meeting people’s eyes as she accepted their attention, making him even more uncomfortable.
“Let’s go if you’re done.”
“Okay. I’ll buy you coffee.”
“You don’t need to buy me coffee.”
“Oh… Alright.”
Disappointed but resigned, Yoo Mi followed Ji Ho outside.
“Oppa…”
Yoo Mi wanted to ask about Lee Su, but couldn’t figure out how to start, so she just bit her lip.
Ji Ho knew something about Yoo Mi’s family through Yeon Su,
but he surely couldn’t imagine that Lee Su was the daughter of his father’s first wife, just one year older than him.
“What is it?”
“Then why did you join the ski club?”
In the end, Yoo Mi dropped the subject of Lee Su and brought up the club instead.
“Just thought it’d be fun.”
Ji Ho gave a soft chuckle.
Ever since he’d joined the club, so many people kept asking him about it that even Ji Ho was starting to feel bewildered.
What was so special about it anyway?
Yoo Mi bit her lower lip tightly.
Why did it have to be Lee Su, and not her, in the same club?
The more she thought about it, the more it stung.
“Yoo Mi, don’t you have class?”
“I do.”
“Then you should go now.”
“Okay. Lunch was really good today. Next time, treat me to something truly delicious—not student cafeteria food.”
Yoo Mi smiled brightly at Ji Ho as she spoke.
“Alright.”
“And from now on, please reply to my texts right away.”
“Sure.”
Ji Ho nodded absently and casually turned his gaze away.
At that moment, he spotted Lee Su standing far off in the distance.
A faint smile spread across Ji Ho’s face.
He held her gaze, as if trying to exchange a silent greeting—but Lee Su simply turned around and walked away.
Ji Ho’s eyes followed her retreating figure.
“Yoo Mi, I’ll head off now. Take care.”
“Already? It’s only 1:30…”
Before Yoo Mi could finish her sentence, Ji Ho strode off quickly.
Yoo Mi watched his departing back with regretful eyes.
But shortly after, her expression twisted strangely, and she began sniffing loudly and messily.
**
Lee Su entered the “Understanding Film” lecture hall and sat, as always, in a front-row seat.
While waiting for class to start, she plugged in her earphones and played a song by “J.”
Aside from being male, “J” had revealed nothing else to the public—but every time he released a new song, he dominated all music charts, proving his immense popularity.
Many of his songs were self-composed, and above all, his unique vocal tone and exceptional singing ability were overwhelming.
Resting her chin in her hand, Lee Su closed her eyes and listened to the music.
The sweet melody softened her heart, making it melt like candy.
‘So this is what they mean by “melting your eardrums.”’
Just as the song ended, a gentle tap on her shoulder made Lee Su lift her head.
“Oh! Ha Jun, are you taking this class too?”
Startled, Lee Su pulled out her earphones and asked.
“Yeah. I missed last week because of appendicitis—today’s my first time.”
“I thought I didn’t know anyone here—I’m so glad to see you.”
Lee Su grinned widely.
Just then, Ji Ho suddenly appeared beside Ha Jun.
Lee Su’s eyes widened when she noticed Ji Ho a moment too late.
“Aren’t you happy to see me?”
Ji Ho slid naturally into the seat next to Lee Su and asked with a playful smile.
In the end, the three of them sat side by side.
“…I’m happy. Is today your first time too?”
“No.”
It was such a large lecture hall—if Ji Ho had been sitting farther back, they might not have seen each other at all.
Thinking this, Lee Su nodded.
“I saw you last week. You were watching the movie really intently.”
Ji Ho said with a slight, crooked smile.
Lee Su looked at him in surprise, trying to recall last week’s class.
While watching the film, she’d been so moved by the protagonist’s fatherly love that she’d suddenly burst into tears.
Once the tears started, they wouldn’t stop—and she’d cried quite a lot.
Could he possibly have seen all of it?
Lee Su’s face flushed instantly with acute embarrassment.
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…?
