“Minjun, listen to Mom’s story. It might be difficult for Minjun to understand yet. But Mom hopes Minjun can talk to her.”
“I don’t want to talk.”
Minjun conveyed his sharp emotions.
Seoha left the room, feeling awkward about Minjun refusing to engage in a conversation with her.
How should she approach him?
Since Minjun had become close to Taegyeong, Seoha thought he might easily accept her marriage to Taegyeong. However, seeing him fixate on a dad he hadn’t even met made her feel remorseful for being insensitive.
Becoming a mother, she realized she hadn’t truly understood her child’s feelings. Five years old, she thought he was still young, but the child had thoughts of his own. How did he grow up so quickly?
A sigh escaped Seoha involuntarily.
Taegyeong and Myeonghoon came out of the room and saw Seoha with a worried expression. Myeonghoon asked cautiously, “What’s going on?”
“Minjun, after asking me if I’m marrying the coding teacher, said he’s waiting for his dad. He hates both Mom, Dad, and the coding teacher.”
Taegyeong’s face turned as if he’d been slapped. “Did I take Minjun’s approval too lightly? I didn’t expect him to refuse like this.”
Seoha felt awkward at Taegyeong’s expression, full of pain.
Given Minjun’s anticipation, even if the dad he awaited were Taegyeong, Seoha thought it might not be the right time for them to meet.
On the other hand, she was relieved that Minjun was waiting for his dad, even if it turned out to be Taegyeong.
“What should we do? It seems we need to explain to Minjun, but how?”
“Should I talk to him?”
“Huh? You?”
Seoha wasn’t inclined to do so.
How could she tell the child that both grandmothers didn’t want him? That would only hurt him more.
Taegyeong observed Seoha’s expression and shared his thoughts. “Yeah. Isn’t it better to tell the truth about Dad?”
“But I don’t think he’ll accept it now.”
“But we can’t just leave it like this.”
Seoha hesitated in making a decision. Taegyeong left Seoha behind and stood in front of Minjun’s room.
Knock, knock.
He gently tapped on the door, but there was no response.
“Minjun, it’s the coding teacher. Can we talk for a moment?”
“……. ”
“The teacher will only talk if Minjun allows. Should I wait until Minjun wants to talk with the teacher?”
Taegyeong leaned against Minjun’s door.
Tap, tap.
Although sounds of rustling were heard from inside the room, the door didn’t open.
After about ten minutes, the door was cautiously opened.
Minjun’s round, black eyes, soaked with tears, were visible through the crack in the door.
Minjun saw Taegyeong waiting for him at the door and promptly closed it, retreating inside.
Seoha couldn’t help but sigh at Minjun’s reaction. It seemed like one challenge after another. Just when you thought you’d crossed one mountain, another appeared. She had anticipated it, but the vehement rejection caught her off guard.
“I hate the teacher! Go away!”
“Minjun, the teacher has something important to tell you about your dad.”
“I don’t want to hear it! I said I don’t like it!”
Minjun only responded with a wounded tone, rejecting any attempts at conversation.
Myeonghoon, with his limited understanding, stepped forward. “Minjun, son, let’s talk to Grandpa, okay?”
“……. ”
Myeonghoon signaled to Taegyeong and Seoha.
“Minjun needs some time to calm down. The teacher should go back and rest for a bit.”
Seoha decided to wait until Minjun had calmed down.
Meeting an excited Minjun before explaining and introducing him to Taegyeong wouldn’t be ideal. It would be better if he were composed.
“Alright, I’ll talk to Minjun about it. Don’t worry too much, just go home for now.”
“But this is my problem.”
“Don’t rush things. Okay? Minjun will understand soon enough.”
Taegyeong nodded at Seoha’s words, but his shoulders slumped.
“Also, let’s postpone the marriage registration until Minjun is comfortable. It’s not urgent. Okay?”
“Okay. Phew. I’m sorry. I should have been more considerate of Minjun, I fell short.”
“It’s not like that. I didn’t speak up, so it’s my fault. Anyway, it’s something he has to face sooner or later. If we handle it well this time, it’ll be fine.”
“Thanks.”
Taegyeong managed a weak smile.
Seoha comforted Taegyeong by patting his back. Seoha understood Taegyeong’s disappointment well. Why wouldn’t she? Seoha felt the same way.
But it would take time. This wasn’t Minjun’s fault; it was a mistake made by the adults. Minjun was just a victim.
Seoha’s heart felt heavy.
Hyeonyoung couldn’t take her eyes off the computer monitor. Even during work, she was busy gazing at the desktop background featuring pictures of Taegyeong, Seoha, and Minjun.
“This kid is really handsome. So pleasant to look at.”
Hyeonyoung smiled contentedly. However, her enjoyment of the pictures was abruptly interrupted by a sudden phone call.
It was a call from Congressman Jin Cheol-uk’s secretary.
It was likely about the situation with Taegyeong and Yuna. Avoiding it any longer wouldn’t be feasible; she had to face the issue now.
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…?
