“Hyojae.”
“Eek! Kim Seoha! Why is it so hard to see your face like this!”
“Auntie!”
Minjun ran towards Hyojae. Hyojae hugged Minjun with hearts pouring out of her eyes.
“Oh my, our Minjun! How handsome you’ve become! Did you miss your auntie, or not?”
“Auntie, where are the chocolate cookies?”
“Look at this one. He missed the cookies more than his auntie, didn’t he?”
“No!”
Minjun widened his eyes, shaking his head vigorously at Hyojae. Hyojae found Minjun’s cute antics too adorable and hugged him tightly, shaking him.
“Aw, Auntie. It hurts. Let me go.”
“You rascal! Just let Auntie tease him a bit!”
“Ah, Auntie, I love you!”
“Oh my, look at him, playing hard to get with his auntie! Can’t you just call me Mom?”
“No!”
Firmly rejecting Minjun, Hyojae squinted her eyes at him. Seoha chuckled. Hyojae was quite fond of Minjun, always finding him charming.
Hyojae teased Minjun, and he ran to her, clutching her arm, eyes sparkling with joy.
“Thank you!”
“Eat it and make sure to wipe your mouth. And later, play with Auntie!”
“Yes!”
Minjun replied confidently, then gave Hyojae a kiss on the cheek. Hyojae hugged him again.
Observing this, Seoha, with concern, asked, “But is it okay to go to a kids’ cafe? I’m fine since I’m an ahjumma, but aren’t you uncomfortable?”
“Uncomfortable? As long as Minjun is with me! Besides, he said he wants to go to the amusement park with his teacher. But who is this teacher?”
“Ah… It’s Taekyung oppa.”
“When did you two get so close? You have no idea how shocked I was when I saw that gossip!”
“Yeah. Let’s talk more when we go. Come, hop into my car.”
Seoha got into Hyojae’s car. At that moment, a call came from Taekyung.
A natural smile bloomed on Seoha’s face.
“Yes, Oppa.”
Did you meet Hyojae?
“Yes. Right now, I’m on my way to the kids’ cafe with Minjun. Do you have a lot of work, Oppa?”
A bit. Preparing for the education expo in Finland with Kyuwon. But I’ll finish early today. Come over to our place with Hyojae later.
“Okay.”
Have fun. I love you.
Hyojae trembled all over at Taekyung’s confession heard through the phone.
After ending the call, Seoha giggled.
“Why are you like this?”
“Why, well, you know! When I think about how I was so nervous in front of Taekyung sunbae because of you, really! Anyway, you and I met again not too long ago! Got it?”
Hyojae made a solemn promise to Seoha. The reason Hyojae met Seoha today was none other than Hyojae’s ex-boyfriend.
A call came yesterday, and Hyojae went into a fit of tears and chaos.
“Got it. But why did you break up with Lee Joon?”
“Ugh. Seriously, stop talking about it. That scoundrel had a reason not to bring up marriage with me. It turns out the daughter of the company’s president joined his department. Can you believe he cheated on me with her?”
Hyojae spoke while trembling. She still seemed upset, showing her resilience. Seoha was taken aback, unable to respond.
Seoha thought Hyojae and Lee Joon would get married. Indeed, the twists of fate were unpredictable.
“How did you find out?”
“He told me he had a business dinner in the same department and went to a motel with that woman. Can you believe it got caught by me? But you know what he said? Why should I care? As if I care. Without any sense. If he had at least given me a hint, we could have broken up naturally!”
“Did Lee Joon really do that? Is it really him?”
“How well I treated that jerk! Good-for-nothing! Sea cucumber, sea squirt, horned sea snail! No, this is an insult to sea cucumber, sea squirt, horned sea snail.”
“Are you okay?”
If I’m not okay, what can I do? I’m fine. My tears are too precious even to cry. It was a crappy car, but a Benz comes when it’s towed. It was worth more than the money for scrapping.
Watching Hyojae forcibly speak with resilience, Seoha felt uneasy. Seoha could clearly anticipate that Hyojae felt more betrayal than when she received the photo from Yuna.
Minjun, who arrived at the kids’ cafe, played energetically. Seoha and Hyojae watched Minjun while sipping Americano.
Seoha apologized to Hyojae while watching her drink coffee.
“At times like this, we should’ve had drinks instead of Americano at the kids’ cafe.”
“It’s okay. You should drink when you’re in a good mood. But Minjun is becoming more and more like Taekyung sunbae. Blood can’t be deceived. Did you talk to Taekyung sunbae?”
“No. Not yet.”
“Tell him now. Wouldn’t Taekyung sunbae like it too?”
“Not because of Taekyung oppa, but because of the chairman. And I’m worried about Congressman Jin Cheol-wook too.”
“Ah, come on. What is this, Hong Gil-dong? Unable to call the father ‘father’ and the son ‘son.’ Really.”
“Oppa said he would raise his child as his son even if it’s not his. That alone is something to be thankful for.”
“Stop saying that and tell everything. You really need to have a conversation.”
Hyojae’s persuasion shook Seoha’s heart.
It was because of Seoha’s cowardice that they hadn’t met despite going around in circles like this.
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…?
