Droplets clinging to the faucet made a crisp sound, creating ripples on the water’s surface.
Looking at Dajeong with damp eyes from the steam, Junghyuk cautiously spoke.
“Are you okay?”
Dajeong tapped on the floor. Perhaps due to the warm steam filling the bathroom, her eyelashes seemed slightly moist.
“I don’t know. But I want to tell Siwoo before it’s too late.”
Having made up her mind, there was still hesitation in her worried expression.
Seeing her serious face, Junghyuk chuckled. Then, sitting on the edge of the bathtub, he suddenly pulled Dajeong, who was worriedly chewing her lips, into his arms.
Captivated by a water spirit, Dajeong, without a chance to make a sound, was helplessly dragged into the bathtub.
Splash. Water splashed in all directions, and the turbulent currents overflowed from the bathtub.
Dajeong, stumbling, wiped the wetness from her face. She couldn’t gather her thoughts because of the sudden and unexpected event.
“…Wh-what are you doing!”
Protesting fiercely like a wet puppy, Junghyuk just hugged Dajeong tightly as if she were adorable.
Once again, Yuda Jeong yielded. Each time she surrendered in front of him, giving in one by one, she was a woman who strangely satisfied him.
It was far from the triumphant feeling of making the other person submit. It was a warm feeling as if Dajeong’s sturdy fence was generously expanding toward me.
“Whatever you want, Yuda Jeong. Do as you please.”
The damp voice whispered in my ears like an echo in a cave. Dajeong blinked her wet eyes, holding her breath.
In the water, with their bodies pressed against each other, even breathing felt like a peculiar sensation.
The feeling of the nose sliding against the cheek was vivid. Every time it was smeared, the turbulent currents overflowed from the bathtub.
Slick skin. Moist breath. Ignoring the seductive scenes in her field of vision, Dajeong leaned her cheek against his chest and listened to the sound of his heartbeat.
The accident today was a considerable shock to Dajeong as well. The horrifying thought that anything could have happened to the child continued to replay.
If the two of them hadn’t come out of the accident unharmed, the terrible thought persisted.
Then Junghyuk would never be able to tell Siwoo that he was his dad, and Siwoo would never hear that and would forever part with his dad.
Anytime, when the opportunity arises, he thought he could say it. There are plenty of days ahead. But accidents don’t always come unexpectedly.
The unknown future. When would they face unexpected events and prevent them? Did he have the right to do that? Who am I?
It was comforting to end the agreement with oneself. Now it was time to move on to the next step.
“Let’s confess to Siwoo within this weekend, for now.”
“I’m fine anytime.”
Junghyuk accepted it nonchalantly.
“Instead, it seems like we need a flawless plan.”
“A plan?”
Junghyuk raised his wet head and looked at Dajeong’s face. Seeing something planned, he silently waited for her next words, with his casted arm resting on the back of his head.
“To cut to the chase, nothing was planned, right? I never dreamed of meeting you again in Korea.”
“I knew, didn’t I?”
“So, let’s synchronize our stories. Why complicate it by bluntly confessing? Siwoo might be more confused.”
Junghyuk nodded in agreement.
“So, should we kiss? Why make that statement so difficult?”
“I’ve thought about it. How about going with the amnesia concept?”
“Amnesia?”
“Yes. If Dad, who we thought went to heaven, is perfectly alive, how shocking would it be? How would you explain not meeting him for the past five years? To me, amnesia is the only excuse to explain those things.”
Junghyuk’s eyebrow twitched at Dajeong’s logic.
“So, lie?”
“Of course… I don’t want to lie to Siwoo either. But how do you say that Mom and Dad accidentally created you? We can’t destroy his innocence.”
“Why? It looks good and has a nice story.”
Junghyuk chuckled with a playful kick. Playfully retaliating, Dajeong slapped his chest with a firm palm. Even as Junghyuk exaggeratedly complained, Dajeong remained serious.
“Anyway, we just need to emphasize that you are the fruit of the love between Mom and Dad. There’s no other excuse to show the love we had during the past five years, right?”
In that part, Junghyuk opened his eyes in puzzlement.
“MSG?”
“From a strange land, falling in love at first sight and becoming fatefully in love… should be enough.”
“Really? I thought it was two eyes.”
He kicked again, laughing playfully.
“Anyway, come here.”
“Fine.”
When Dajeong rolled her eyes as if she found him annoying, Junghyuk stood up. Then, holding Dajeong’s slender body with one arm, he stood up, splashing water everywhere.
“Don’t pout and cling tightly.”
As he lifted his waist, her two feet left the ground. With a short scream, Dajeong hung onto his neck.
With a casted arm, it wasn’t easy to hug a woman as tall as her, but thanks to Dajeong clinging like a monkey, Junghyuk went straight to the bed, leaving the bathroom.
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…?
