“It sounds like a confession.”
“……”
“Sometimes, the one who confuses me is not me, but Ms. Oh Su Hee.”
Seung Jo’s gaze meeting hers wavered for a moment.
Su Hee recalled the embarrassing words she had just said.
I think I can live thanks to you.
She had blurted out what she had only been thinking due to the considerably relaxed atmosphere.
Confused, Su Hee stiffened and quickly began to make excuses.
“I just said that because your words deeply resonated with me. It’s not a confession.”
“You’re quite serious for a joke.”
It was embarrassing. Completely embarrassing.
The ends of Su Hee’s eyebrows twitched.
“You always make jokes with such a serious expression.”
“I’m naturally expressionless.”
But he smiled quite often. And very beautifully at that.
Did he smile a lot because I was there, or was he in a good mood today?
Before she could ask, he was walking towards the driver’s seat.
“Let’s go home. It’s late.”
Feeling surprised at how time had passed, she checked her wristwatch.
It didn’t feel like they had been talking for a long time, but it was already past 9 o’clock.
Seung Jo had silently listened to Su Hee’s story for over two hours.
She had already thanked him, so there was nothing more to say.
As Su Hee climbed into the passenger seat, Seung Jo fastened the seat belt and asked.
“Aren’t you hungry? You haven’t had dinner.”
“I’m not thinking about food today. I’m okay.”
She hadn’t felt hungry, even though she hadn’t eaten anything since morning.
Her stomach felt sour for taking medicine on an empty stomach, but she didn’t care since it happened often.
Seung Jo’s car moved farther from the beach and onto the smooth road.
Su Hee lowered the window halfway with the door trim button on her side.
She closed her eyelids as she felt the wind rushing in.
It had been a long time since they left the beach, but the wind seemed to carry a faint hint of salt.
Her hair fluttered in the blowing wind, but she didn’t care.
After Ae Ran left this world, she felt as if she had a hole in her heart every day.
She didn’t know what to fill it with, how to fill it.
No, more than that, she didn’t have the leisure to take care of her own heart.
But today, after pouring out everything to Seung Jo, she looked at herself for the first time.
She had been in much pain, struggled, and was sad.
Her way of enduring it was to blame everything on herself.
However, that method was wrong, and in the end, it only fueled the disease of the heart.
Sometimes, you needed to know how to turn a blind eye to pains unbearable.
There was no need to accept everything while killing yourself.
The car dashed down the clear road without any obstacles.
Su Hee, who rolled down the car window, reached out her hand.
“Good.”
If they are people who cherish and love me, they would be by my side.
There was nothing to be afraid of. It was okay not to be afraid.
She told herself so.
((()))((()))((()))
Leaving a message to wait for a while, Seung Jo parked the car on the side of the road and disappeared.
Su Hee, who was waiting for Seung Jo in the car, took out the ringing mobile phone from her handbag.
Ju Hyeong
Su Hee pressed the call button to answer the call from Ju Hyeong.
“Yes, Ju Hyeong.”
[You’re not really pregnant, are you?]
Ju Hyeong’s way of throwing such a bluntly rude question was similar to teasing.
Su Hee, who leaned her head on the car window, wetted her lips.
“No, nothing like that.”
[Then it’s fine.]
Seeing that he called, it seemed like he had read the interview article that came out today.
“Why? Were you worried about me?”
[If you get pregnant, you can’t work. And when you have a baby, you can’t make money like you do now. If a married woman with a child stars as the lead in a drama, it won’t be immersive.]
His harsh words left a bruise in Su Hee’s heart, but she spoke as calmly as possible.
“You’re not worried about me, are you worried about me not making money?”
[It’s both.]
“Is it because if I don’t make money, there’ll be no one to give you an allowance?”
[Why are you saying that?]
Over Ju Hyeong’s grumpy voice, the laughter of his friends was heard.
Not wanting to feel upset any longer, Su Hee changed the subject.
“It’s noisy. Where are you?”
[I’m out with friends.]
“Where to?”
[Jeju Island.]
Ju Hyeong only answered when Su Hee asked.
Although it was a short answer, Su Hee was satisfied with it.
The relationship between the siblings was not awkward from the start.
Until Ee Ran met with an unfortunate accident, they lived like a family.
However, after that incident, Ju Hyeong, who was shocked, didn’t talk to Su Hee for a while.
Maybe their relationship was worse than others, but Su Hee didn’t want to let go of the family bond.
“Have fun, drink moderately.”
[I’m hanging up. Stop nagging.]
As always, Ju Hyeong curtly responded.
Just in time, Su Hee saw Seung Jo returning to the driver’s seat, so she hung up the phone.
As Ju Hyeong, who had finished the call in the living room, entered the room, his friends who were sitting on the floor asked.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
