He had told her about it while talking about Serimji.
“My mother asked for it at the end. She wanted to convey her gratitude to that child when they meet again.”
So, he had helped Serimji.
He was like a benefactor to their deceased mother.
But why bring up the story about that child all of a sudden?
Eun-su looked at Hyuk-ju’s lips with a tense expression.
“I thought that child was Serimji. Although I had doubts that it might not be her… I only recently found out that my suspicions were correct.”
“The child Hyuk-ju mentioned wasn’t Serimji?”
“Yeah.”
“…Then, does that mean Serimji deceived us?”
“Eun-su.”
At Hyuk-ju’s gentle voice, Eun-su looked at him.
As if wanting to see herself properly, Hyuk-ju cupped Eun-su’s cheek with his hand.
His palm was warm. Meeting his gaze, burning with intensity, Eun-su swallowed hard for a moment.
“Now I know.”
Hyuk-ju kissed Eun-su’s lips. Keeping his lips pressed against hers, he whispered in a low voice.
“That child was you, Eun-su.”
“…Ah!”
Realizing the meaning of his words that he had been muttering all along, Eun-su’s lips parted in surprise.
Simultaneously, their lips overlapped seamlessly.
Caught off guard by the warm and tender breath filling her mouth, Eun-su let out a muffled moan.
As Hyuk-ju’s hand, which had been wiping her cheek, wrapped around her waist, Eun-su encircled his neck with her arms.
Hyuk-ju embraced Eun-su. The movements on the bed were extremely cautious. Eun-su closed her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled delicately.
“Thank you.”
“…The son that the lady mentioned… was Hyuk-ju?”
Eun-su’s lips, trying to speak, let out an odd breath.
Looking down at her body, Hyuk-ju felt relieved.
Fortunately, tonight was a long autumn night, longer than the day.
There were too many things he had to say and express to Eun-su. Above all, he had to thank her endlessly.
Breathing into her ear.
Stepping on it, pulling with force, thanks to the forceful action, the light sky-blue hat now looked quite worn.
Even with stains and marks, Yeo-ji was proud of her hat, and it seemed like an old hat wouldn’t raise any suspicion.
She casually threw the hat on top of the carrier she had arranged.
“If I show this, he’ll be sorry again, and I don’t know what to do.”
Imagining Hyuk-ju squirming in front of her, Yeo-ji’s lips curled slightly upwards.
Even if Eun-su had used some trick to capture Hyuk-ju’s heart, Yeo-ji was confident.
“Hyuk-ju oppa is like the sky; I can’t abandon him even if I try.”
Unless his deceased mother came back to life, her lie wouldn’t be exposed. And living with guilt for turning away from her mother, Hyuk-ju wouldn’t be able to abandon someone who was like a benefactor.
“It’s just a matter of time now.”
Yeo-ji’s eyes, squinting at her lips, sparkled.
“What do you think will happen if I go to Jeju Island and show him this hat?”
Imagining Hyuk-ju looking at her with warm eyes again, Yeo-ji’s cheeks turned red.
“So, Eun-su’s husband, the Mingjin Group… Wow!”
Sae-byeol, who was drinking, raised her head with eyes full of disbelief, her face flushed with excitement.
In front of others, Saet-byeol was usually not the type to easily back down, but when she heard the story that Hyuk-ju was the heir of the well-known Mingjin Group, she froze.
All the audacious things she had done without knowing who he really was quickly flashed through her mind. She hadn’t even asked him to do the dishes today.
Darn it.
Saet-byeol chewed on the straw vigorously.
The paper straw, made for environmental protection, was crumpled and torn instead of being chewed well.
“You didn’t know?”
“If I knew, wouldn’t I have asked him to do the dishes today?”
“If it’s something you’re concerned about, it’s okay.”
“That’s Song Hyun-soo’s thought.”
Saet-byeol touched her forehead with her hand.
She didn’t know what rude things she had done to Hyuk-ju all this time.
She even sent him for kimbap delivery. And, above all, there was something she couldn’t ask for his forgiveness for.
“Is he the type to hold grudges?”
“If you mean holding grudges…”
“Well, I’m thinking about Song Hyun-soo.”
Saet-byeol sighed as she pinched her forehead.
Hyeon-su somehow nodded as if he should answer that way.
“I recently found out that Eun-su got married. Frankly, who would think that Eun-su is married just by looking at her? Don’t you agree?”
“…Well, yes.”
For some reason, Hyeon-su felt like he should answer that way, and he nodded his head.
“I have a man I like, and we decided to have a meal together. But that man said he would bring his friend.”
“No way… You didn’t introduce the lady, did you?”
“There’s a saying that ‘No way’ catches people.”
“Then, did you meet with that man and the lady, and another man you don’t know?”
Hyeon-su’s forehead wrinkled all at once.
Saet-byeol nodded her head with a deadpan expression.
It turned out that she had caused trouble without knowing that Oeun-su was married. If she had known that she was married, she wouldn’t have deliberately made trouble.
Since she took the Mingjin Group daughter-in-law to a meeting, now she must have become a thorn in Hyuk-ju’s side or even an enemy.
Saet-byeol, who had an overactive imagination, was already drawing a picture in her head of Hyuk-ju getting revenge.
Soon, Professor Jido might call her.
Come to think of it, the school library was a building donated by the Mingjin Group. Now she wouldn’t be able to stick her head into that library.
“I wonder what will happen to me now.”
Saet-byeol blinked her eyes, wearing a pitiful expression.
“Let me ask you carefully. Do you still have the incident in your heart?”
“…I suppose not. If you say I still have that in my heart, that would make me a grudge-bearing person, right? No way.”
Saet-byeol extended her lips forward with a sulky face.
Hyeon-su turned his head, looking at her face, and said.
“If that’s the case, let me use my influence.”
“Really?”
“However.”
“However?”
Looking at the cute Saet-byeol with her eyes wide open, one corner of Hyeon-su’s lips rose slightly and then went down.
“What’s your number?”
“My number?”
“You said that before. Let’s have a meal together at the school cafeteria.”
“…Did I say that?”
“If you don’t know the number, how can we make the next appointment?”
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…?
