In Woo wasn’t in his usual white coat.
Dressed in a blue Oxford shirt with a firm texture, a black coat, and carrying a backpack, he looked less like a doctor and more like an enthusiastic new recruit.
Hyuk Joo nodded his head in greeting.
“Hello.”
“You must be the one.”
In Woo raised the corners of his mouth as he saw Hyuk Joo furrow his brow at his words.
It was a smile close to a sneer.
In Woo added more words, staring at Hyuk Joo’s face, which neither affirmed nor denied.
“There was a lot of rumors.”
Hyuk Joo stared back at In Woo, who was openly provoking him.
“Do you know Eun Soo?”
“I do.”
“…You’re much worse than I thought.”
“Eun Soo is aware of the situation.”
Understanding. In Woo murmured as if talking to himself, gnawing on his lips.
Now, he felt like he could fully understand why Eun Soo was so taken aback by the news of the pregnancy, why she didn’t readily accept it happily, and why she asked him to keep it a secret.
It felt as if the organs inside him were twisting in their own way.
Why on earth Eun Soo.
What did that child do wrong.
In Woo couldn’t understand why Eun Soo had to endure this misfortune.
His chest ached as he recalled Eun Soo’s words that tomorrow would be harder than today, and the day after would be more difficult, and that it was scary not knowing when this pain would end.
He wanted to grab Hyuk Joo by the collar right away.
Even if he didn’t know how great you were, he shouldn’t treat Eun Soo like this.
He felt like he would feel better if he could punch him and lash out, asking what kind of behavior was this, leaving his wife who was carrying his child.
But he couldn’t.
Driven by his emotions and acting impulsively, In Woo managed to restrain himself, for fear he might make Eun Soo’s situation even more difficult.
His hand clenched into a fist, the back of his hand turning blue with the force exerted.
“Can you spare me a moment?”
“Sure.”
“There’s a break room on the second floor.”
“Let’s go there.”
The two men headed towards the break room on the second floor of the hospital.
The break room, located at the end of the second floor, was just a spot where a vending machine had been placed on an extruding terrace, despite its name.
Being in a remote corner, it was a place not frequently visited by people.
In Woo took a canned drink from the vending machine and handed it to Hyuk Joo.
“Oh… don’t you drink these?”
“No.”
Hyuk Joo took the canned drink from In Woo’s hand.
His throat was dry.
After opening the can and drinking about half, Hyuk Joo turned his head and glanced at In Woo. With a fairly serious expression, he was staring straight ahead.
What was in front of him was merely the wall of another ward, and it seemed like he was lost in thought rather than looking at something.
Hyuk Joo knew that it was a situation that In Woo could easily misunderstand. However, he did not go out of his way to actively deny it.
Eun Soo knew, and he had sought her understanding. Hyuk Joo didn’t feel the need to elaborate on all the circumstances to In Woo, a third party.
There was no reason he should.
“Do I call you Mr. Moon Hyuk Joo?”
“You can call me whatever you feel comfortable with.”
Upon Hyuk Joo’s permission, In Woo turned his head. He looked straight into Hyuk Joo’s face and asked,
“What does Eun Soo mean to you, Mr. Moon Hyuk Joo?”
Caught off guard by the sudden question, Hyuk Joo raised his hand to his forehead and then let it drop.
His eyes were gritty from lack of sleep, having spent the previous night vigilantly watching over Eun Soo.
Eun Soo had a fever all night.
It was as if she was suffering from a cold. She stopped herself from calling for her attending physician, Dr. Kim. She didn’t want to bother the doctor over something minor.
She chuckled dryly at herself, justifying that it was his job, and that’s why she hired him.
“Dr. Kim’s daughter is participating in a concours tomorrow. He’ll be worried about that, so I don’t want to call him just for a slight fever.”
“That’s his business. You don’t need to worry about it.”
“Hyuk Joo, this isn’t about worrying, it’s about consideration.”
Hyuk Joo’s main concern was for Eun Soo, who was speaking with a pale, bloodless face.
It was foolish to consider others when his wife was ill.
He was filled with the desire to call Dr. Kim, saying he didn’t want to be considerate in such a situation.
However, looking into Eun Soo’s eyes, all Hyuk Joo could do was sigh. A hint of contempt flashed briefly in her eyes as she looked at him.
Thankfully, her raging fever had subsided to a lowgrade fever, but Hyuk Joo couldn’t be relieved. Hence, he couldn’t fall asleep until dawn, watching over Eun Soo until her fever had completely subsided.
He had lost count of how many cups of coffee he had drunk so far.
The ridiculous question struck him when he was struggling to stay awake due to lack of sleep, which irritated Hyuk Joo.
What did Eun Soo mean to me?
In Woo’s gaze, asking this question, was strangely sharp. Hyuk Joo didn’t avoid that gaze and responded as if parrying it.
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…?
