Chung Seop gave a small nod and uttered brief words.
“Uh, yes. Sure. Got it.”
Seung Jo, who had been standing blankly at the entrance, asked as soon as Chung Seop hung up the phone.
“What did dad say?”
“He said he’ll come today. He’ll arrive at the airport around 9 p.m.”
Upon hearing that Byung Ho was coming to his relatives, Seung Jo felt as if he could fly, he was so happy.
Chung Seop and Young Suk were quite surprised at Seung Jo’s bright smile, which they were seeing for the first time in a year.
Seung Jo took off his shoes that he was wearing and entered his room.
Seeing Seung Jo suddenly going into the room, Chung Seop and Young Sook followed him in.
Seung Jo took out the carrier that he had kept next to the old closet and randomly crammed his clothes into it.
Watching him, Young Sook couldn’t help but be taken aback by Seung Jo’s absurd behavior.
“Why are you suddenly packing a bag?”
“You said dad is coming. I have to pack in advance.”
Young Sook was trying to say something to Seung Jo, but Chung Seop grabbed Young Sook’s arm and pulled her out.
Closing the door to Seung Jo’s room, Chung Seop whispered in a small voice.
“Let Byung Ho talk.”
“How can we just leave him like that. I have to say something too.”
Chung Seop used all his strength to stop Young Sook from going back into Seung Jo’s room.
“If we say something, he’ll get hurt even more. We have to think about the kid.”
“I am thinking about the kid, that’s why I’m doing this.”
As if she was frustrated, Young Sook pounded her thin chest with her fist.
Then, the door opened and Seung Jo, who had packed his bag in advance, came out.
Seeing Seung Jo smiling, Young Sook was at a loss for words.
She felt that the seemingly very young Seung Jo wouldn’t be able to bear the disappointment.
“I’ll be back. I’ll come back early.”
Since it was the first day that his father, who had entrusted him to his relatives, was coming, Seung Jo couldn’t help but be excited.
Watching Seung Jo’s light footsteps as he left the house, Chung Seop and Young Sook couldn’t hide their pity.
As Seung Jo passed the hallway, the female students watched him from behind.
Though they wanted to approach him, Seung Jo always gave off an unapproachable vibe.
Seung Jo, who was loved by the female students, was an object of envy for the male students.
One of the three boys from class 22 put his arm around Seung Jo’s shoulder.
They were a gang of socalled bullies.
“Hey. We’ve arranged to go to karaoke with our class girls today, wanna go together?”
Seung Jo showed his displeasure when a classmate he rarely greeted tried to act friendly.
“Am I your armrest?”
At Seung Jo’s cold response, the male student looked around at the female students.
As the female students quietly exclaimed “Kyah, kyah!” at the sight of Seung Jo, the male student awkwardly pushed himself closer to Seung Jo.
“From today, you can be my armrest.”
“I don’t want to.”
Seung Jo, who responded curtly, tossed off the boy’s arm from his shoulder.
Before the boy could say anything else, Seung Jo went into the classroom.
The group that was left behind gritted their teeth at the female students’ laughter.
“Annoying outcast. Is it funny because I played along?”
The boy, with his chest puffed out, yelled for Seung Jo to hear.
Despite the yelling that was loud enough to hurt his ears, Seung Jo didn’t show any signs of being disturbed.
“As expected, Han Seung Jo is cool.”
“Exactly. He’s not the one being outcast, he’s the one pushing the kids away.”
“The prince from Seoul must not get along with sea creatures.”
At his own praises that came pleasingly into his ears, the group glared at Seung Jo with unpleasant expressions.
They didn’t like receiving praises from the girls because of his halfandhalf face.
Above all, they were more angry because the female students said they wouldn’t play with them if it wasn’t Han Seung Jo.
Seung Jo, who was waiting for school to be over, headed home with his bag as soon as the closing ceremony ended.
Young Soon, who was preparing dinner in advance, greeted Seung Jo as he arrived home almost running.
“You’re home early.”
“I only had six periods today. Has dad not come home yet?”
Young Soon, who was looking at the cuckoo clock on the wall, responded.
“There’s still more than four hours left.”
“Ah, what should I do then.”
“First, take a shower.”
When Young Soon told him what to do, Seung Jo went into his room and came out with comfortable clothes.
Young Soon showed a bitter smile as she saw Seung Jo going to the bathroom.
“Is he really happy?”
In order to fill their parents’ vacancy, Young Soon and Chung Seop made a lot of efforts.
They showed interest in the gruff Seung Jo first, and tried to give him love with warm meals every day.
However, whether it was not as good as the love given by parents, all of Seung Jo’s nerves were focused on Byung Ho.
They felt a little left out, but they thought it was inevitable.
However, they were not happy to see the responsibilities coming along with happiness in that child’s eyes.
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…?
