“But I won’t do such despicable things like Chairman. Why? Because I’m only twenty-five, and I don’t want to become a murderer. And no matter how much I’m the head of the PR group, Chairman will die decades earlier than me, right? In front of this objective fact, why would I bother using such a person? When the time comes, that person up there will take Chairman away by themselves, won’t they?”
People exchanged nervous glances.
“You’re… really insolent. But remember. Your father’s life is in my hands.”
“Of course, I remember. So let’s stop here.”
“What?”
“Since our dad needs treatment, we endured up to this point. If not, it would have been hard to handle the aftermath. When I’m really angry, I don’t hold back, whether it’s a chaebol cousin or the chairman, I don’t care about such things. Well then, calm your unpleasant nerves and sleep well. Be careful on your way home, everyone.”
Casually bidding farewell, Yeoreum went up the stairs to the second floor.
“What a disgrace!”
Third living room.
There, Jeongmi shouted frighteningly, and Haeun burst into tears.
Gitaek followed Juwha, asking for forgiveness.
“What are you crying for? Can’t you shut up!”
Ipyo, annoyed, yelled at Haeun.
“I can’t even cry with my own mouth!”
“That’s why I told you to drink less! You’ve embarrassed all the executives now! What are you going to do about this?”
“My mom and I kneeled down and begged to that girl! On top of that, we have to go there now and apologize and get our pictures taken one by one! Do you have any idea how embarrassing that will be for us? Oppa, do you only think about your own pride?”
“If you hadn’t started this in the first place, it would have been fine! Anyway, it’s stupid!”
“…Are you done talking now?”
“I’m not done! You idiot!”
“Hey!”
“Everyone, stop it!”
At that moment, Gitaek entered the living room.
Looking around at the excited family members, he raised his voice.
“Why are you all raising your voices like this? I can’t show my face because of you! Why is everyone acting like this?”
Gitaek had never raised his voice like this before.
But now, with his face turning red, he expressed his anger to his family.
Because of that, everyone’s mouths shut.
“But why did you come so quickly? I told Haeyeon and Haeun to go and cancel it, ask my brother to cancel it.”
“Nuna wanted to take a break.”
“…My brother?”
“I feel like my head is going to explode, but doesn’t Nuna feel the same way?”
“So are we really going to Busan and apologize to those people? Ah, I can’t do that!”
“Me neither!”
Haeun agreed.
“Just do it without complaining.”
“…Hey!”
“Dad!”
“Now there’s going to be a PR group boycott. There’s no choice.”
“No matter what!”
“Just do it!”
Gitaek shouted.
Under his fierce gaze, Jeongmi and Haeun also cowered.
“Still, you should have told me earlier! Why did you let this situation escalate like this?”
“We were trying to resolve it within our family…”
“Is this what you call a resolution? What Summer did is a solution? That’s a crime. Clearly, it’s abuse, imprisonment, and attempted murder!”
Jeongmi and Haeun lowered their heads.
In a breathless voice, Gitaek said, “The executives also know about it now. This is the only way to salvage the situation. So, quietly apologize. And Inpyo, you will face disciplinary action.”
“Disciplinary action?”
“Don’t know what that means? Did you not know that Haeyeon blocked the matter from Nuna? That’s… a crime. Clearly, it’s abuse, imprisonment, and attempted murder!”
Jeongmi and Haeun’s heads dropped.
Gitaek, breathing heavily, spoke.
“If disciplinary action is imposed, just accept it.”
“Father!”
“And I want to make it clear, don’t mess around with Yeoreum in the future.”
Gitaek warned, scanning his family with an unsatisfied expression.
“If something happens to Yeoreum in the future, who do you think people will suspect? Us. It’s us. Got it?”
Annoyed sighs followed his words.
“Yeoreum has nothing to blame. Instead, be thankful.”
“Who are we supposed to be thankful to now? This is all because of that girl!”
It was Jeongmi.
“Didn’t I tell you to stop?”
“No. This is all because of Jo Yeoreum sneaking into Blue House and causing trouble! And I’m really upset. Whose side are you on?”
“Please don’t misunderstand! Blue House belongs to Yeoreum. The PR group is the same!”
“…Honey!”
“And if Yeoreum hadn’t covered it up, everyone here, including you, would have ended up in prison. Why don’t you know that yet?”
Gitaek went out as if his blood pressure was rising.
“Ah, that timid man. No wonder he spends his whole life chasing after his sister. Honestly, let’s be clear, PR is ours! My brother is a former outsider, and that person is the son! Am I wrong?”
“No, Mom. You’re speaking rightly.”
Sophia actively praised.
“That’s right. Ah, that fool. How can he be a husband.”
Jeongmi sharpened her words in a low voice.
Inpyo also had a distorted expression of annoyance.
Yeoreum, who had come up to her room, sat quietly on the sofa for a while.
Her heart still pounded frighteningly.
How much effort she had put into appearing calm and strong in front of her grandmother.
As her heart gradually calmed down, thoughts of the future crossed her mind.
We promised to eat chicken feet, but now, how much is she struggling alone?
Yeoreum raised her phone.
―Yeoreum, are you okay?
The future’s dialect, which immediately popped out when he was excited, was affectionate.
“Yeah. I’m fine.”
―Are you really okay?
Yeoreum briefly explained what had happened in the living room a while ago.
―Oh my, you’re going to live like that from now on? Just hearing about it makes my heart pound.
“Yeah, so don’t worry about me and rest. And stop worrying about me. And I’ll catch you, and my sister will buy you really delicious chicken feet.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, she honestly felt drained.
And she felt terribly lonely.
‘At times like this, I used to call my dad…’
How affectionately he would have listened to her.
But the thorough Chairman Kang had even blocked her dad and mom’s phone numbers.
Yeoreum touched her phone feeling empty.
‘I want to hear Mr. Sanha’s voice.’
If she could hear his slow voice, it would be comforting.
For a moment, she looked at Sanha’s number, thinking of sending a message.
Even if it meant losing her pride, it didn’t matter.
Just receiving his message would make her happy.
「 Are you sleeping? 」
A short beep sounded immediately with a response.
「 No. 」
As expected, this man was happy just receiving messages.
“Where are you now?”
“At the hospital.”
Surprised, Yeoreum’s hands moved quickly.
“Why are you at the hospital? Are you injured?”
“Visiting a sick friend.”
After a relieved breath, Yeoreum sent another message.
“Is your friend okay?”
“No. Having a hard time.”
“Why?”
“He’s an incredible sleeper. Every time he comes, he’s sleeping.”
Yeoreum responded with a chuckle.
“Is it because Mr. Sanha is comforting?”
“Is that so?”
“Then have a good time with your friend.”
“Sure.”
With that short response, Yeoreum put down her phone.
“In any case, be affectionate. Look, you match well with a good tiger.”
Yeoreum burst into laughter.
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…?
