The time waiting for Eun Soo’s answer felt like minutes instead of seconds.
Perhaps he should have gone on the business trip with Eun Soo.
Then this wouldn’t have happened.
No.
He shouldn’t have gone on the business trip.
Even if it was important work, it was wrong to leave on a trip so soon after his motherinlaw passed away.
No, the bigger mistake was before that.
If he had told his aunt first when Eun Soo confessed about her painful past, and thus became her shield……
Regrets kept pouring in endlessly.
Despite all the regrets, Eun Soo gave no response. Hyuk Joo wanted to snatch the phone and plead with her.
What if he reproached her for not waiting, for not acting as if nothing had happened?
“That’s right. Tell Hyuk Joo that.”
At Young Ran’s voice, Hyuk Joo lifted his head.
What did Eun Soo say?
Hyuk Joo waited for Young Ran’s answer with a hard face.
“She said she needs to find a place to live and sort things out, so she’ll meet you after the 49day mourning period is over.”
“……”
“Eun Soo probably feels uncomfortable seeing your face right now.”
“What’s her new number?”
As soon as Hyuk Joo’s question ended, Young Ran shook her head.
“It seems like Eun Soo has sorted everything out.”
“……”
“So, you should sort things out quickly too.”
Hyuk Joo didn’t answer.
He didn’t understand what he was supposed to sort out.
Even now, with all traces of Eun Soo gone, he could still vividly sense her as if she had just been by his side.
With a dry hand, he swept across his face, slowly closing and opening his eyes.
He heard the sound of Young Ran closing the door as she left the study.
What on earth was Eun Soo planning to sort out?
Hyuk Joo let out a hollow laugh.
If there had been a major conflict, he could at least pretend to understand Eun Soo’s change of heart. But there had never been.
His relationship with Eun Soo was like a serene lake that didn’t even ripple. It was the kind of relationship where any thrown stone would quickly sink.
That’s why Hyuk Joo couldn’t accept this situation.
The falling rain caused the flowers that had covered the cherry tree to drop limply.
The rain that had brought the cherry blossoms into bloom continued for several days. Today, when it seemed like the rain might let up, a dense foggy mist fell, making it impossible to distinguish nearby objects.
Eun Soo was looking out the window.
“May I sit with you?”
She turned her head at the sudden voice.
A beautiful woman with a beaming smile asked, sticking the tip of her tongue out between her lips. When Eun Soo didn’t respond, the woman gave a slightly embarrassed laugh and spoke.
“I just hate eating alone.”
“Ah, sure… have a seat.”
As soon as Eun Soo gave her permission, the woman quickly took a seat.
“Are you traveling?”
“No.”
“So, you’re a local?”
“I thought I might try living here for a bit.”
“Oh? That’s similar to me.”
The woman put down the water she was drinking and clapped her hands lightly as if pleased.
Eun Soo simply smiled quietly without any particular reaction.
“My academic advisor moved to a school here, so I followed. I’m majoring in horticulture.”
“……Yes.”
“Do you want to be friends if you’re going to continue living here? It seems like we’re around the same age.”
“I haven’t decided yet.”
Eun Soo deflected the invitation.
The woman seemed nice enough, but she was a stranger.
Eun Soo was wary of the woman who was, she felt, overly friendly towards her. The woman seemed to pick up on Eun Soo’s hesitation and pulled out her wallet to show her student ID.
“I’m not a bad person.”
“……”
“I just don’t have anyone I know here, so I’m bored.”
She added with a shrug, “I can’t help it if you’re uncomfortable.”
Looking at the woman’s slightly disappointed expression, Eun Soo suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
It must have taken a lot of courage for her to ask a stranger if she could sit with her.
Even though she was pretending to be fine about being rejected, the woman might have been hurt on the inside. With that thought, Eun Soo’s guard, which had been high, was quickly lowered.
Just like the woman had said, Eun Soo also didn’t know anyone and was bored.
She had been getting tired of just going back and forth between her home, the nearby cafes, restaurants, and a few wellknown tourist spots.
Eun Soo took a sip of her water and spoke cautiously.
“I’m…not a very interesting person.”
“Huh?”
“I mean…I don’t have a very likable personality to be friends with.”
“That’s okay. I don’t have the best personality either. My name is Gosaet Byeol.”
The woman extended her hand for a handshake first.
“I’m Oh Eun Soo.”
“Your name suits you. People murmur when I tell them my name, saying it doesn’t suit me. Ah, what do you do, Eun Soo?”
Byeol asked, showing her neatly arranged teeth.
At that moment, the grilled mackerel set that Eun Soo had ordered was served. Not long after, the food that Byeol had ordered also came in a hot pot and was placed on the table.
With a polite wish for a good meal, they both picked up their spoons.
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…?
