“Good children are hard to come by. Especially in our family.”
Mrs. Jinwoo’s momentum slightly waned at Mrs. Kang’s words.
“In Jinwoo’s eyes, there’s only his son-in-law. A man’s perspective changes when he becomes a son-in-law.”
“Oh, Mother, embarrassing.”
Jinwoo’s mother laughed discreetly, glancing at another table.
“Oh, Jinwoo’s calling.”
The timely call from Jinwoo attracted the attention of the three women.
“Yeah, Jinwoo. Mom slept very comfortably. She even told Grandma to come, so we’re having a meal together. Indeed, he’s our son. Yeah. Yeah. The wedding? So soon?”
For a moment, Jinwoo’s mother’s words paused.
“Yeah. Okay.”
After hanging up with a somewhat absent expression, Mrs. Kang asked with a curious face.
“Did Jinwoo set a date for the wedding?”
“Yes……. It’s next month.”
“Oh, that’s good.”
Suddenly, the atmosphere shifted. Unlike the smile that appeared on Mrs. Kang’s face, Chloe’s face wrinkled.
“She’s… She’s pregnant.”
Clang.
The sound of Chloe dropping her fork rang loudly. However, neither Jinwoo’s mother nor Mrs. Kang paid any attention.
“What? Really? Congratulations. Oh.”
Mrs. Kang clapped her hands, delighted.
“See, I told you. Admirable.”
“Am I already becoming a grandmother?”
“Congratulations, my daughter-in-law.”
Watching the two women overcome with emotion, Chloe bit her lip. Now she realized she was trying to climb a wall without stairs.
Although she had tried to climb up with a helicopter, that wasn’t the problem. There was no door on the wall from the beginning. Chloe swallowed her disappointment, trying to bury her hollow feeling.
The words to brace herself weren’t a joke. As morning approached its end, barely opening her eyes, Jina made a groaning sound. The feeling of her body falling apart was something she hadn’t experienced in a long time.
“Are you awake?”
Jinwoo, wearing comfortable loungewear, approached Jina. It was a familiar scene she always saw when spending time with him. Therefore, it was even more irritating.
“Why is it always me…”
Her voice, barely raised, broke miserably.
“Drink some water.”
Sitting at the end of the bed, Jinwoo offered a cup of water.
“I didn’t intend to overdo it. I’m sorry.”
Quickly drinking the water, Jina spoke with a smoother voice.
“I provoked too much.”
With a self-mocking tone, Jinwoo smiled charmingly.
“Sister itself is a provocation to me. Sleep well. I didn’t even draw the curtains. Sleep more.”
Instead of replying, Jina reached out and gently touched Jinwoo’s cleanly shaven face.
“Is this a dream?”
It still feels like a dream.
Jinwoo gently grasped Jina’s wrist.
“I’ll show you something wonderful.”
“Is there anything more wonderful than you?”
Surprised by her own words that popped out unintentionally, Jina closed her mouth. Jinwoo, who was smiling faintly, approached the window and pulled back the curtain.
“Wow!”
It was a world entirely covered in white. Except for the Han River flowing through the city, everything was white. Facing such a beautiful scene like a fairy tale, Jina couldn’t say anything.
“It’s wonderful.”
“Is it more wonderful than me?”
Leaning against the window, Jinwoo smiled at Jina.
“No.”
Suddenly changing her expression from being moved, Jina blinked her eyes.
“You’re not cooler than me.”
Approaching, Jina hugged Jinwoo.
“In today’s world, I just want to stay in the hotel all day.”
Jinwoo gently cupped Jina’s face with a suppressed voice.
“It’s Christmas, can’t we just relax?”
While wiping her face with his firm and large hands, Jina asked.
“We have to prepare for the wedding.”
At the unexpected words, Jina’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Wedding?”
In response to her astonished expression, Jinwoo lifted the corners of his mouth.
“I rushed here to finish it as quickly as possible to marry you, Noona.”
Jina had thought it would take a year at least. So, she had been troubled alone, watching her growing belly.
“They say you should wear a wedding dress before the belly comes out. Even if it does, you’ll look beautiful, Noona.”
He seemed to have studied separately. Jinwoo said with warm eyes.
“I told Mom early in the morning. We’ll have the wedding in a month.”
“A month later?”
It was a much faster date than she had thought.
“So soon?”
“I feel like it’s too far……. ”
Jina’s round eyes met Jinwoo’s softly folded eyes.
“I want to get married quickly.”
Her heart floated.
“You mentioned that you had something to tell me before leaving for the United States. I’m curious about what you said you’d tell me when you came back.”
It was a question she had wanted to ask since meeting Jinwoo.
“Oh.”
Jinwoo made a muted sound.
“Do you want to hear it now?”
Jinwoo asked, raising one eyebrow. His consistently relaxed demeanor seemed somewhat impatient.
“Yeah.”
Jina nodded. With a slightly tense face, Jinwoo took a small breath and then opened his mouth.
“Jiwoo.”
Before Jina could ask, Jinwoo quickly added.
“I’ve thought about our child’s name… It seemed a bit early to say it at that time. I was worried that it might burden you. It’s Jiwoo.”
Ji from Jina and Woo from Jinwoo.
Jina quietly rolled the name on her tongue.
“It’s pretty.”
“Do you like it?”
“Yeah.”
The gentle winter sunlight poured through the hotel window onto Jinwoo and Jina. Jina’s transparent smile, like that clear light, was exceptionally beautiful.
“I love you.”
It was the confession that he had whispered to Jina all night. No matter how many times he said it, each time Jinwoo confessed to Jina, he felt a thirst for more words.
“The most in the world.”
“I love you too.”
As if swallowing Jina’s confession, Jinwoo kissed her cheek. The warmth that started from his lips slowly spread. It was a warmth that could even cover the winter. The cicada sound she heard long ago faintly echoed in Jina’s ears.
He was Jinwoo’s eternal summer. (End)
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…?
