“……Yes?”
Su-yeon spat out words with a sigh.
I couldn’t comprehend the words I heard with my ears.
‘I must have misheard. I must have misheard. It can’t be, a divorce?’
Su-yeon, still unable to escape from the shock, pierced Hye-kyung with eyes.
In those eyes, there was a desperate longing.
That the divorce with In-ho was her misunderstanding, her mistake.
But even this time, Su-yeon’s expectations were brutally shattered.
“If you want a divorce.”
At words akin to a death sentence, strength drained from the legs that were kneeling. The upright upper body, as if waiting, leaned to the side.
Tears poured out like never before, incomparable to the past.
‘Divorce… She’s telling me to get a divorce…’
Su-yeon blankly stared into an unknown space with eyes that had completely lost their light.
Emotions that had been roaring in turmoil for so long suddenly quieted down as the whole world came to a standstill.
In the midst of it, Su-yeon managed to exhale.
“Separate from your husband and come back to this house. That’s what your mom wishes.”
The words, like a deadly weapon, poured cruelly over Su-yeon once again.
Without offering any response, Su-yeon slowly blinked her eyes.
Divorce.
Separate from In-ho.
Come back to this house again…
With each breath, Hye-kyung’s fragmented words twisted Su-yeon’s heart as if mercilessly pounding on it.
It was too painful, too agonizing.
“Don’t you have an answer?”
A mocking, pressing tone pierced mercilessly into her ears.
The only answer Su-yeon could give was already predetermined.
It had always been that way.
Yes, I will.
That was the only answer Su-yeon could give.
After realizing that it might not be the only right way, Su-yeon had never once hesitated in giving that answer.
But for the first time, her lips refused to articulate the words.
“Choi Su-yeon.”
However, for the first time, her lips refused to heed her words.
“Choi Su-yeon.”
An icy voice tightly gripped Su-yeon’s throat.
“Didn’t you hear Mom’s words? Won’t you answer?”
The following words relentlessly constricted her breath. Yet, she couldn’t do anything.
Su-yeon straightened her slouched body and looked up at Hye-kyung.
“…I’m sorry.”
Her tear-soaked face showed no trace of any expression.
“What do you mean?”
“I can’t get a divorce. I can’t do it. I don’t want to.”
Even while facing Hye-kyung, who twisted her expression harshly, Su-yeon shook her head vigorously.
“Say it again. Wanna try saying it again?”
Hye-kyung, twisting her lips grotesquely, stared at Su-yeon with chilling eyes.
Instinctively, Su-yeon trembled.
Her gaze alone constricted her breath, and she quickly breathed as if she might die at any moment.
It was frightening. Terrifying.
But this time, Su-yeon couldn’t comply with Hye-kyung’s words.
Su-yeon straightened her posture, then once again knelt in front of Hye-kyung.
Bowing her head, she pleaded earnestly.
“I’ll do anything else, anything. But I can’t get a divorce. Apart from that, I’ll do anything. So please, please, not a divorce…!”
Su-yeon’s words, bursting out like vomiting, couldn’t continue properly due to her sobbing.
At that moment, a voice sounded as the entrance door opened, and someone’s presence was felt.
“What’s this? Why is she acting like that?”
Dae-ho, looking at Hye-kyung, pointed to Su-yeon with his chin.
It seemed like he had a very fatigued appearance, possibly due to the extended hospitality until late hours.
In another sense, he looked full of stress.
Reading Dae-ho’s expression, Hye-kyung, who had been smiling, looked at Su-yeon with a playful tone.
“Honey, what should we do? Our Su-yeon says she can’t get a divorce from her husband.”
“What did you say?”
A deep voice, filled with contempt, echoed through the spacious living room.
Simultaneously, Su-yeon’s body shook like a leaf.
Hye-kyung enjoyed watching the movements felt from her feet.
“Is that so? That’s what she said.”
Drawing near, Dae-ho, with a murmur, took off his outerwear.
A long coat hung on the back of the sofa, and a suit jacket was added on top.
Dae-ho slowly approached Su-yeon, pulling up the sleeves of his dress shirt.
The solid footsteps reverberated throughout Su-yeon’s entire body.
Shivering with fear, Su-yeon slowly raised her head.
It was at that moment.
A merciless hand grabbed her hair, cruelly pulling it back.
In the relentless pain, as if her scalp would be torn off, Su-yeon raised her head to the face of Dae-ho, who was nothing short of a monster, and his face vividly reflected in Su-yeon’s eyes.
“Then I’ll make her do it.”
Dae-ho, with an unsettling upward curl of his mouth, mumbled in a chilling voice, almost making it difficult to consider him human. Meanwhile, holding Su-yeon’s hair, he strode towards the dimly lit corridor.
Su-yeon desperately clung to Dae-ho’s hand that held her hair.
“Aah! Oh, Dad, I was wrong. I was wrong, Dad…!”
Her terrified voice continuously chanted words of apology and supplication, but there was no sign of weakness in Dae-ho’s grip.
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…?
